Maintenance workers get the message

High output multi-message Maxi Fire-Cryer Voice Sounders from Vimpex are being used to enhance safety for maintenance staff working on Sydney Harbour Bridge.Workers undertaking regular maintenance tasks can now be safely evacuated in the event of an emergency through pre-programmed messages that are broadcast from the Maxi Fire-Cryers.

In this application, the challenge was to keep the maintenance staff informed of any emergency situation whilE working in a noisy, outdoor Security Pty in partnership with Vimpex developed a wireless voice evacuation solution to meet this requirement.

Ten Maxi Fire-Cryers, each with four messages, have been installed in the maintenance cribs and active repainting areas, which are relocated from time to time. The Maxi Fire- Cryer outputs 116dBA and features a fully weatherproof enclosure making it particularly suitable for external use in large open areas. A specially designed wireless control panel connects to Vimpex's Voice Message Controller, which in turn controls the voice message sequencing to each of the Maxi Fire-Cryers.
