Communications Solution
ATH®4 communications system that
Wheelock has developed the SAFEP
SAFEPA
combines the features of Public Address, Automatic Announcements,
Background Music and Emergency Notification in one integrated package.
Combined Systems Represent Significant Cost Reductions
A fire alarm system is seldom, if ever, used. A public
address system is often in constant use. These two
systems may now be combined into a single system so
long as the entire system meets the requirements of the
“code required” fire alarm system. The utilization of fire
alarm notification systems for public address purposes
significantly increases the value of the investment in
seldom used, but required equipment. The consolidation
of fire alarm and public address equipment represents
cost reductions related to:

Improved Public Safety
Since fire alarm notification systems can now be combined
with general use public address systems, the use of voice
announcements for emergency alarms is more feasible.
Voice instructions are more likely to be adhered to than
horns sounding and strobes flashing with no indication
of the real nature of an emergency.

Fire Life Safety Solution
Wheelock has served the needs of retail users for more than eighty
years. The company’s founder John Wheelock introduced
electromechanical signaling products such as the NBC chime tone
that is still in use today. During the 1970’s the company introduced
strobes, speakers and a patented
horn strobe combination audiblevisual alert, which became the
standard of the life safety market. The
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
was enacted in 1992. Wheelock
responded to the emergency
notification requirements for the
hearing impaired and epileptic
individuals with patented economic
and synchronized notification
appliances and products. The newest
additions to our leading fire alarm
product line include the field
selectable SPEC1FIRE™ multi-candela appliances, higher intensity
strobes and a full line of weatherproof products. Specifiers can
