Campus Public
Address - the key
to a successful Mass Notification system
Mass
Notification can be accomplished in
many ways. Text messaging emails, sirens, and
flashing strobes are all excellent methods of
getting peoples’ attention but the key to
successful notification is the spoken word.
Specific instructions for a particular situation
are the best method to insure everyone knows
exactly where to go and what to do.

GAI-Tronics’
Campus Public Address products are designed to get the message to the masses via a distributed speaker system design. The intent of a distributed speaker system is to evenly distribute the broadcasted audio at a more comfortable level intended for people/ students local to the active speaker (within 1,000 feet). This approach limits the affect of the notification system on surrounding communities and conflicting sound ordinances.
GAI-Tronics’ Model 234SBA Stanchion Broadcast Assembly
[shown left] is intended for new system installations requiring both two-way communications and one-way public address broadcasting. The nine foot high stanchion can provide up to 360° broadcast coverage. It is addressable and can be accessed from a 600 Ohm audio input,
RF radio system (VHF/UHF), or
VoIP network!

Can an
existing GAI-Tronics
stanchion installation
be upgraded to provide
the public address
functionality? Of course
it can! GAI-Tronics’ Model
234SBM [shown
right] is
designed to retrofit an
existing Model 234
stanchion. It is
designed to mount
directly to the top of
the existing stanchion,
extending the height by
approximately 18 inches.
It will include all the
features of the
234SBA. |

What
about areas that
can not be reached
by a stanchion
broadcast
(courtyards,
indoors, etc.)?
GAI-Tronics’ Addressable
Amplified Speakers
[shown
left] can
be discretely
installed wherever
additional coverage
is needed. Direct
and solar power
options give this
speaker great
location
flexibility. It is
completely
self-contained and
is accessible from
the same audio
source driving the
stanchion
broadcast products.
All GAI-Tronics’
campus pubic
address speaker products
are completely
weatherproof.

GAI-Tronics also offers the head-end equipment for a completely integrated system. In conjunction with our Audio Messenger
Interface, the Model ACC2500
Audio Control
Deskset [pictured

can activate up to 250 pre-programmed tones, speech messages, or combinations of both.

It allows a voice broadcast override of the current alarm and can perform specific unit, zone, or all broadcasting. In addition to the speech or alarm tone audio, the system can be programmed to provide strobe activation at each stanchion during a broadcast. This will provide a visual indication of an alarm situation to the hearing impaired. Additionally, the system allows dial-up voice access from the existing telephone system with the same unit/zone/all
addressability. |
