What peripheral devices connect to Alert Beacons?
Alert Beacons are equipped with an RS232 serial connector and relay connectors to control other safety appliances. The RS232 output can used to connect text-to-speech voice annuciators and large marquee message signs. The relay connectors can be used to trigger (turn on or off) any device, but most commonly external supplemental sirens or strobe appliances. Possibly the best example of the vast potential for use, customers have recently explored using Alert Beacons to control door locking systems. Emergency duress buttons can be placed next to Alert Beacons and connected to the relay connectors. Emergency duress buttons let anyone, with the push of a button, send a message to security that an emergency is occurring and precisely where to send help. This feature saves tremendous cost, considering its add-on cost of less than $200 compared to as much as $7,500 for standalone blue light emergency phones.
