Baldwin Boxall 24 Zone Desktop Microphone Controller BVRD24

EN54 certified microphones providing full control of a VIGIL voice alarm system. The BVRD microphone controller has been designed specifically for the voice alarm/VACIE market and will interface with any VIGIL router.

The BVRD performs as a paging or fire microphone with an optional emergency ‘all call’ bypass facility. During an emergency, the BVRD assumes ‘emergency control’ mode; live speech broadcasts made using the unit will override any commands from the fire alarm panel. By imitating the state of the local fire alarm panel, the BVRD indicates the current state of emergency and the operator can take control.

Key Features:

• Desk top microphone available in eight versions - from 8-zone up to 64-zone. A Wall mounting bracket is available (add WB to product code).
• The BVRD is also available as a fist microphone in a surface mountable IP66 rated enclosure (8-32 zones) or as a rack mount version (8-80 zones).
• Performs as a paging or fire microphone with an optional emergency ‘all call’ bypass facility.
• During an emergency, the BVRD assumes emergency control mode; live broadcasts made using the unit will override any commands from the fire alarm panel. By imitating the state of the local fire alarm panel, the BVRD indicates the current state of emergency and the operator can take control.
• Broadcasts can be either live announcements or pre-recorded message, selected by the operator.
• Different messages can be broadcast to different zones simultaneously - making it possible to alert some areas and evacuate others, with the option for live broadcast announcements to remaining/selected zones.
