To undertake a complete re-wire of the existing system and to replace all the loudspeakers.

The customers' requirement was for a system that would broadcast live and pre-recorded messages throughout the shopping centre and to alert the centre in the event of an emergency. As this is a public area it was essential a fully BS5839 compliant PA/VA system was installed.

The installation was a retro fit, by definition is not straightforward. Due to the nature of the site work could only be done outside trading hours. Our installation team completed the re-wire and loudspeaker installation on time and within budget.

VIGIL2 is a Voice Alarm, Public Address system designed specifically to meet the life safety issues contained within BS5839 part 8 and EN60849.

Research has proven that in an emergency people will react without confusion or panic if they receive a clear, intelligible message. Bells and sounders only give a warning, what that warning is, is never clear. Phased evacuation using clear, easily understood, pre-recorded messages ensure that even untrained personnel are evacuated speedily and efficiently. In a VIGIL2 system all critical signal paths from the Fire Officer’s microphone, through the amplifiers to the end of the loudspeaker lines, are monitored. Battery backup comes as standard. The power supply and internal battery charger are also fully monitored. This ensures that the system is always available when it is needed most, during an emergency. Already in use in some of the most important and prestigious buildings throughout the world, you can use and install a VIGIL2 system with confidence knowing that you are using the market leader.Let VIGIL2 be a guardian of your building and use it wherever quality, reliability and peace of mind are important.
