The company is showing several new products at Firex 2016 and so are expecting even more interest than usual. New products include the VIGIL Eclipse4, VIGIL3 transformerless amplifiers, touchscreen control microphone and a four-way toilet alarm control unit.
"We at Baldwin Boxall are very excited about the show" commented Nick Baldwin, marketing director "The new stand is going to look stunning and, with the new products to demonstrate and our recent LPCB certification, we have a lot to talk about."
VIGIL Eclipse4, in common with its predecessors, is a wall mountable, voice alarm / public address system in a single enclosure. The new VIGIL Eclipse4 will use Baldwin Boxall's latest transformerless voice evacuation amplifiers. In common with its predecessors, the VIGIL Eclipse4 will be a wall mountable, stand-alone voice evacuation system, providing a highly-efficient solution to the voice evacuation market.
The shallow profile of the new unit will make it ideal for mounting within a building's risers - thus eliminating the need to take up valuable floor space elsewhere in the building. Add to this the fact that the system has outstanding networking capabilities, means that the VIGIL Eclipse4 will be the perfect solution for large, multi-floor installations.
There are five modules in the new VIGIL3 Voice Evacuation Am range - dual 75 Watt, quad 75 Watt, dual 150 Watt, quad 150 Watt and dual 300 Watt. Each highly efficient amplifier has a built in power supply and floating transformerless output and, compared with VIGIL2 units, weigh up to 66% lighter on a like-for-like basis.
Also being shown on is Baldwin Boxall's latest microphone which features a clear, seven inch, capacitive touchscreen display. Using the same sleek profile as the BVRD and BDM microphone ranges Baldwin Boxall's new touchscreen microphone will be compatible with established VIGIL2 systems and also the new Eclipse4, providing users with the option to swap out current microphones, should they wish to do so.
BVRTSM (small image) touchscreen microphone message selection is easy to use and enables total control of a VIGIL2 voice evacuation system. In the event of a fire, or other evacuation emergency, the new microphone has the ability to take top priority, enabling the operator to take full control of the situation.
During the commissioning stage of an installation, it will be a straightforward procedure to set up the microphone for any size of system. The layout and display (like Baldwin Boxall's already popular touchscreen PC systems) will be intuitive to operate.
DTA 4-way controller PR is another new product that can be seen at the show. It is a four-way disabled toilet alarm control unit. The new unit will control up to four of the company's three-part toilet alarm kits. The new control/display unit will be available with either a white or stainless steel finish - to match with the toilet alarm products already available from Baldwin Boxall. Each unit is available independently so it is possible to 'mix & match' finishes to suit the installation.
The recently announced IP interface (known as the BVRDIP) will be demonstrated at Firex. This new unit enables remote monitoring of a VIGIL2 voice alarm system via the internet. Installation will provide great benefits, especially for maintenance engineers, by automatically sending notification of any fault detected on the system - thus enabling the monitoring of several systems from a distance.
The popular Omnicare and Care2 Emergency Voice Communication systems and disabled toilet alarm system will also be on display at the show.
