COMMUNITY CENTER EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION SYSTEM

The JCC of Greater New Haven is a community center in Woodbridge, Connecticut, that provides services and programs to the local Jewish community. Scott Cohen, the JCC executive director, needed an indoor/outdoor emergency notification system to cover the whole facility. The main goal was to improve safety and overall efficiency with a system that can offer instant emergency audio-visual alerts, daily PA voice paging, public text display, remote phone access, easy installation, and simple operation.

Visiplex proposed a solution that consisted of a VS4810 wireless paging base station for the main office, a VS101-40 high-power transmitter for complete building RF coverage, 52 VNS2640 wireless PA speakers with beacon lights & integrated LED message board displays for the indoor areas, 5 VNS2214-1 wireless ceiling PA speakers, 8 VNS2204-8 wireless PA horn speakers with beacon lights for the outdoor areas, 6 CT-151 wall-mounted panic buttons and 12 CT-102 portable wireless panic buttons that can instantly initiate pre-programmed voice messages.

Included with the wireless base station was a telephone line interface for overhead paging and instant activation of pre-programmed voice messages from any phone.

The proposed community center emergency notification system is fully wireless, eliminating the need to run costly cabling and only requiring an AC outlet for each wireless PA speaker or beacon light.
