Our vandal resistant emergency assistance alarm range offers tough, cost‑effective, BS 8300‑2 and document M compatible systems suitable for public use. We supply stand‑alone alarms, multiple alarm systems with remote monitoring and combined systems with disabled refuge EVC, fire telephone, building alarms, etc. For larger and smarter sites, we offer networked solutions with optional BMS interfaces. Ideal for hospitals, railway stations, hotels, airports and other public spaces.
Our alarm transfer system transmits alarm and fault states over RS485 and IP networks, offering remote monitoring with document M compatible acknowledge. Input controllers, output controllers, SNI controllers and LCD indicator panels are networked together to transfer up to 256 alarms over a single system.
Folknoll output controllers provide outputs for up to 16 emergency assistance alarm zones or 15 alarm‑strip zones. Output controllers offer alarm consolidation with an output for local beacon sounders and an input for local acknowledge buttons.
To aid installation, commissioning and maintenance all connectors are screw terminal plugs type, there are two loop‑through connectors for Folknoll RS485 / power and boards have diagnostic LEDs for zone state / fault, paired devices offline, RS485 state and output states.
Folknoll output controllers now have reversible output polarity for compatibility with third‑party systems.
Controllers are usually supplied as part of a custom system in fully enclosed surface mount enclosures, system PSUs or rack mount enclosures (to suit site requirements). Please specify when ordering.
