Kent-based Penton Fire & Security designs, supplies and installs public address systems with voice alarm capabilities to facilitate safe, controlled evacuation of commercial buildings in emergencies like a fire.
As well as aiding emergency evacuation, public address/voice alarm systems (PAVA) provide everyday functionality for routine announcements or background music.
The main purpose, though, is to help save lives in urgent situations such as a fire. This is done with clear voiced instructions and messages to aid building evacuation.
Our public address/voice alarm services will give your business a unique PAVA system – built and customised to your requirements and your business environment.
We provide a wide range of PAVA systems, from wall-mounted stand-alone systems with a single microphone to large, fully networked, multi-input systems.
Your PAVA system will automatically monitor itself constantly. Any fault that’s detected will be indicated both audibly and visually at the relevant points of the system.
The PAVA system will also have power back-up so it will continue to operate in the event of mains electricity failure.
Depending on your requirements, we can configure PAVA systems with a range of capabilities, such as:
Pre-recorded messages stored in the PAVA system can be used as required or initiated automatically at scheduled times.
They can also be triggered in the case of an emergency such as a fire, to give clear, concise instructions on how to leave the building safely.
Research has shown that people are less likely to panic when presented with a clear and easily understood message instead of the electronic sounders and bells traditionally used as fire alarms.
Professionally recorded messages can be uploaded to the system or you can record and store your own communications for non-emergency use.
A further benefit of PAVA pre-recorded messages is that they can be provided in multiple languages.
Penton Fire & Security PAVA systems are powered by state-of-the-art smart technology, with innovative designs and user-friendly features and a variety of programming options. And our flexible PAVA solutions can be further enhanced in the future with expansion modules.
Most importantly, our PAVA systems provide utmost reliability in controlling the flow of people in an emergency evacuation, enabling everyone to exit the building quickly and safely.
