20. Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. The Audible Exit Sign

21. 21 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. Directional Sound Defined Directional Sounder – an audible means of identifying exits & egress routes to provide a means of overcoming the limitations of current exit signage and alarm signals (omni- directional sound)

22. 22 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. What is the purpose of directional sound? Directs occupants and firefighters to the nearest exit Pulsating, broadband sound is distinctive from the audible sounds of bells, horns, or voice speakers

23. 23 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. How is this different than our current systems? Fire Alarm vs. “Directional Sound” technology Fire Alarm (Detection & Alerting) Early detection Warn of imminent danger Provide notification / warning via bells, horns, strobes, electronic sounders “Directional Sound” (Exit Marking) Audible sound to locate exits (or exit paths) Equivalence to Low Location Lighting not fire alarm sounder Different Types of Systems!

24. 24 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. Why is directional sound necessary? Human Behavior phenomena  Occupants exit a building by a route familiar to them – the way they came in  “learned irrelevance” – people seldom consider the information that is conveyed via exit signs or evacuation maps/floor plans Directional sound reduces these tendencies

25. 25 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. What are the benefits of directional sound? Not intended to replace, but compatible with standard fire alarms Focus is providing additional sound cues to assist occupants in locating the nearest exit ‘Attention capturing capability” overcomes issues of ‘learned irrelevance’ of exit signs Sound travels around corners avoids issues of line-of-sight methods (e.g. exit signs) Sound independent of language Provides cues in adverse conditions of smoke or other low visibility condition Significant benefit to the visually impaired Reduces evacuation times by up to 75% in smoke, 35% in clear visibility

26. 26 Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology. How does it work – Broadband Sound 20Hz20KHz 500Hz3.5KHz 5KHz3KHz1KHz Human speech LowMidHigh *Between 2-3KHz is the frequency which is most sensitive to the human hearing and where all alarm sounders are placed. Between 1-3KHz gives no location cues. All 3 cues are required for accurate localization
