Connecting fire detection with people safety warnings<br />
Integrating a fire detection network with audio processors <strong>and</strong> speakers enables speedy<br />
response to alerts as well as effective management of the networks from a single control<br />
station. The upside of such a set-up is that a safety mechanism <strong>for</strong> life-saving purposes<br />
no longer has to rely solely on sonic alarms or pre-recorded voice messages.<br />
Non-fire alarm signal<br />
In large facilities with a varying occupancy of visitors, unexpected<br />
emergency conditions often call <strong>for</strong> quick thinking <strong>and</strong> on-thespot<br />
decisions. In such situations, the limitations of pre-recorded<br />
voice messages can be overcome by assigning higher priority to a<br />
non-fire, alarm-related, systems signal over a fire alarm signal.<br />
All in accordance with fire<br />
alarm safety st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />
The NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code makes provisions <strong>for</strong><br />
recognising the priority of live voice instructions over any<br />
other signal during fire conditions or other emergencies. For<br />
voice messages, international st<strong>and</strong>ards specify that mass<br />
notification systems should have a speech transmission index<br />
(STI) of 0.5 <strong>for</strong> sufficient intelligibility in reverberant spaces.<br />
Industrial networking technology with Ethernet<br />
Facilities Technology<br />
The <strong>Oil</strong> & <strong>Gas</strong> industries rely on industrial Ethernet networking <strong>and</strong> technology to power networks that<br />
centrally oversee the complicated extraction <strong>and</strong> production process including offshore oil drilling, onshore<br />
production, pump station <strong>and</strong> pipeline transportation, tanker storage <strong>and</strong> oil refining. <strong>ESI</strong> empowers<br />
highly successful <strong>Oil</strong> & <strong>Gas</strong> networking systems with Ethernet switches that feature high b<strong>and</strong>width<br />
transmission capability, industrial ratings (e.g. ATEX directive <strong>and</strong> maritime certifications), increased media<br />
redundancy, wide operating temperature range, long life expectancy <strong>and</strong> heavy-duty networking features.
