NEW Product ~ VIGIL OmniCare

Vigil OmniCare is an addressable emergency voice communication system that allows disabled refuge, fire telephones and disabled toilet alarm remote units to be connected to just ONE system. It has been developed in accordance with BS5588, BS5839 part 9 and BS8300:2001 (for disabled toilet alarm).

The system has two main components ~ the master control panel (available in 8~128 way options) and the remote units.

Full details on this versatile system can be found on the OmniCare page:

Complete Emergency Voice Communication by Baldwin Boxall

 

VIGIL Eclipse2 now available.

 

The concept for the new Eclipse2 is the same as for the original unit, however, there are some major improvements. Eclipse2 is smaller than its predecessor and houses the brand new DSP routeing matrix - the VIGIL EVAS.

VIGIL Eclipse2 is a stand-alone, wall-mountable voice alarm / public address system unit and is a cost-effective solution for many projects. The unit utilises VIGIL2 amplifiers (with hot swap facility) and switch mode power supply. Eclipse2 houses one standard Baldwin Boxall amplifier mainframe to achieve up to either seven single or four dual circuit zones.

The system provides a highly-efficient solution to the voice alarm market and its simple design enables straight-forward installation and commissioning. As with all Baldwin Boxall voice alarm products, the Eclipse2 simply connects to leading fire alarm panels via the internal fire alarm interface.

System faults are stored within a fault log which can be viewed either via the front panel or simply downloaded via the USB2 port. The whole system is powered by a 230V AC 50-60Hz power supply and comes with battery backup to allow it to fully function should the mains power supply fail.

The unit is ideal for a decentralised network with the ability to link 128 units. The flexibility of the VIGIL Eclipse2 means that it can also form part of a larger VIGIL EVAS voice alarm system.

This innovative voice alarm / public address system can work in almost any situation, whether in an office, shopping centre, airport, factory, school, leisure complex, etc, making it the ideal solution for any small, medium or even large project.

 

BDM400 Microphones now available.

Black and silver in appearance, the microphones will replace the current BDM300 range with a single zone microphone through to a sixteen zone

option. Similar in operation to the BDM300 range, the new microphones have an analogue output signal and serial RS485 zone select using one RJ45 eight-way CAT5 lead enabling simple networking. LEDs on the microphone indicate zone busy, power and data. The monitored versions also feature a fault buzzer which, together with the LED indicator, will alert an operator to a system fault.

Photos of installations.

We are currently creating a photographic library of external photos of locations where Baldwin Boxall equipment has been installed. This will also
give us ideas for future press releases. The pictures can be in any format and any slides, transparencies or photographs will, of course, be returned.
