Silent Knight Introduces Combination Fire Alarm & Emergency Communications System
Combined Technology Offers Cost Efficiencies & Simplified Operations in One Completely Supervised System
NORTHFORD, Conn. - Silent Knight by Honeywell (NYSE: HON) introduces the new Farenhyt ECS (Emergency Communications System) line, providing both cutting-edge fire protection and a system for broadcasting real-time communications within a facility, big or small. By integrating mass notification capabilities with its proven fire alarm technology, Silent Knight aims to offer an all-in-one system that is easy-to-use, cost-effective and benefits from the stringent requirements placed on fire alarm systems.
The Farenhyt ECS line delivers real-time, intelligible communications over a completely supervised system that meets the latest NFPA 72, UL 2572 and Department of Defense (DoD) standards. Farenhyt ECS control panels include customizable switches for as many as 15 pre-recorded messages and a microphone for live paging - all simple-to-use technology which enables users to direct general or emergency communications to all or select areas of a facility.
As many as seven Silent Knight ECS-RCUs (Remote Command Units) can tie into a facility's Farenhyt ECS and be conveniently placed throughout a facility to provide a quick means for live paging to specific areas of a facility. Complete operation of fire alarm and ECS functions can also be performed through an ECS-RCU, which is UL-listed and meets the DoD mass notification system requirements of an LOC (Local Operator Console).
The Farenhyt ECS runs on most wire-types, making it a cost-effective retrofit option when existing fire alarm wire is used. Fire alarm speaker intelligibility requirements combined with regular system testing code mandates ensure this integrated fire alarm and ECS communicates clearly and is well maintained. Ideal for schools, hospitals, government and military facilities or other places of assembly, a Farenhyt ECS is a great choice for buildings considering an ECS or fire alarm upgrade, or for those located within a municipality that will soon adopt current NFPA code ECS requirements.
