MINERVA Firecryer - Voice Enhanced Sounders

The MINERVA FIRECRYER is an electronic sounder which provides as default the same electronic sound as the MINERVA Besson Banshees.

In addition, the FIRECRYER provides up to 4 predefined voice messages, which can be synchronised across a zone of sounders. The FIRECRYER offers an excellent service upgrade opportunity in the UK for systems installed to BS5839pt1 and may also provide opportunities elsewhere.

Single and Four Message Variants
A single message can confirm that the electronic sound is a fire alarm warning and differentiate it from other electronic sounders used in an environment. With four messages fire tests can be easily differentiated from alert and evacuate messages.

Two Wire Connection
The FIRECRYER uses a standard 2 wire 24V d.c. connection to carry power, message switching and message synchronisation. This enables a quick and easy upgrade to existing bells and sounders

MINERVA Banshee Compatible
The electronic alarm sound and mechanics of the FIRECRYER are the same as other Banshee sounders in the range. This allows them to be mixed with other sounders in a zone. It also means that existing Banshees can be very quickly upgraded to FIRECRYERs.

Synchronised and Unsynchronised Variants
Unsynchronised versions provide fast retrofit and are acceptable if only one FIRECRYER is used per area to enhance the electronic sounders. Synchronised variants only require a synchro board adding at the fire panel and then allow all FIRECRYERs on two sounder circuits to be synchronised.

Low Power
The FIRECRYER takes marginally more power than an equivalent electronic sounder. This enables voice enhanced sounders to be offered without the high additional cost of large battery backups.

Product Options
The FIRECRYER is available in 3 models (unsynchronised, synchronised and 4 message synchronised) in ADT branding with predefined English messages and 100dBA fast sweep alert sound to comply with BS5839Pt1. Other variants with different branding, different language messages and different tones are available upon request.
