What is Audible Lighted Emergency Exit Routing?
What is the IP address of the audible light emergency exit routing system requested with the 77.185.1017 pose explanations, which have emerged with the increasing accessibility applications in recent years?
​ ​
Today, in many buildings, when an emergency occurs such as fire, flood, earthquake, etc. , alarm sirens, flashers, horns placed in various parts of the building work in as wide an area as possible at the same time to warn people against a sudden danger. There are exit signs and exit signs used to direct the users inside the building to the emergency exit. However, in a smoke-filled environment, emergency signs created by visual guidance may be less pronounced or completely ineffective. Building occupants may not be familiar with the building and associated emergency exit routes, but they can still access emergency exits somehow with directions and signs.
​ ​
So, how will people in panic and shock, hearing and visually impaired individuals reach the emergency exits without help?
​ ​
For visually impaired people to evacuate the building quickly without additional support during the evacuation processes of buildings, conventional emergency direction luminaires and signs will not be sufficient and they will experience serious difficulties. Are there any signs? Solutions that will answer the question should be applied.
​ ​
Disabled audible light guiding luminaires are new generation emergency exit evacuation routing solutions.
In short, you can define it as a sound exit armature.
​ ​
The engineering application of directional audio technology faces some problems. Commonly used emergency fire alarm sounds cause confusion for building occupants. Users in buildings may not know what to do when they hear the sound. For this reason, there is a need to clarify escapes in addition to the voice alarm and siren. Users who try to go out into the corridor and steer towards the escape stairs after the siren sound at which the emergency warning is made, will proceed confidently to hear the announcements that they will understand that they can reach the fire stairs for emergency escape when they approach the audible and illuminated emergency exit direction luminaire, when they move in the direction of the sound, and that they are approaching with an increasingly clear sound announcement.
This message will enable them to move quickly and safely without the need for visual guidance and evacuation sign systems without having knowledge of the Building.
Conventional fire alarm and voice alarm systems both emit an audio signal when an emergency occurs in the building. Disabled emergency exit guidance system with audible light is an additional evacuation aid;
however, it is not a system that replaces the above-mentioned fire alarm and voice alarm system. Disabled emergency exit sound and light announcement fixtures should be placed above emergency exit doors and in complex corridor turns. However, emergency audio and light guidance products only on fire escape stairs and emergency exit doors may not provide enough directional sound to reach most of the users. In addition, there may be more than one exit in large, open and large buildings, but the sounds of more than one disabled audible lighted emergency exit routing product may interfere with each other and create confusion. For this reason, detailed project work should be done for disabled emergency sound and light guidance device equipment placement and integrated with the fire scenario.
​ ​
Considering this information
It is possible to reach the fire doors and escapes with audible and illuminated announcements from the emergency exit doors.
In an emergency, the environment can be noisy due to siren sounds.
The emergency voice guidance warning sound should be at least 15 dB lower than the ambient sound level.
Despite the ambient noise, it can be heard easily. Orientation can be determined
It will make it easier to reach the exit points with the increasing sound level as you get closer.

How to Integrate Sound Lighted Emergency Exit Guidance System in Existing Buildings?
​ ​
The fire detection system, which is the backbone of the evacuation in case of possible fire, earthquake, etc. in the buildings, will form the backbone of the products for directing the disabled with sound and light to the emergency exit and will enable them to be managed through the central system. In this case, we will encounter 2 different fire detection systems in the existing buildings. What are these systems?
​ ​
1- Conventional Fire Detection Systems:
The sensing panel used in the system consists of the regions where the sensing elements are connected. The number of zones is related to the capacity of the panel. 20 detectors can be connected to each zone. The panel also has inputs and outputs to connect fire alarm buttons and sirens. When any detector detects or the fire alarm button is pressed, a warning signal comes from the zone where the detection element belongs to the panel. For example: If any detector detects in a region where 20 detectors are connected, a warning will come from that region. (But it will not be clear from which detector the warning came.)
2- Addressable Fire Detection Systems:
In addressable systems, there are loop lines to which the sensing elements are connected. The number of loop lines and the wiring distance depend on the panel used. 125-127 addressable elements (detector, button, input module, output module, addressable siren) can be connected to a loop line. The sensing elements in the loop can be divided into zones, and each sensing element can be individually detected by the panel thanks to the addressing software it contains. In other words, when any detector detects, the location of the detector can be determined individually on the panel or optionally on the PC where the projects of the building are loaded. Conventional systems and addressable systems are selected and dimensioned according to their application areas. Conventional elements are sufficient for systems with a small number of sensing elements and offer inexpensive solutions.
​ ​
How can we integrate sound and light emergency exit routing products into existing fire detection systems.
​ ​
1. We can provide direct connection of conventional and addressable fire detection systems with the fire detection system by making a direct connection to the conventional siren lines that activate the sirens with 12-24 VDC at the time of alarm. With this connection, direct integration into the fire detection system is provided. There are solutions that can provide the same connection with a wireless transmitter that will receive information from the nearest siren line.

You can control the control modules of the addressable fire detection systems and the emergency exit routing system devices with sound light and it will be possible to integrate them into the fire scenario. It is activated in possible emergencies and will be silent when disabled from the central system. There are products that can provide the same connection with a wireless transmitter that will receive information from the nearest loop line with the relay module.
