With Vimpex Fire-Cryer sounders, you can combine alarm tones with spoken messages. The wider range includes notification devices and interfaces to help you coordinate warnings throughout your building.
Examples of evacuation, standby and other emergency messages.
01
Instructions to leave the building
Evacuation messages tell people to leave and can provide directions. Language, wording and audibility all affect how clearly people understand them.
02
Different messages for different stages
Staged evacuation can use an alert message in one area and an evacuation message in another. Message priorities follow the building’s evacuation plan.
03
Messages beyond fire alarms
Some systems also carry other emergency messages. Priority controls prevent conflicting instructions, such as lockdown and evacuation messages playing together.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers
Is a Fire-Cryer a full voice-alarm system?
No. You can use Fire-Cryer to add spoken messages to an alarm sounder. A full EN 54-16 voice-alarm system uses dedicated control equipment and is a different type of system.
Can a message be understood wherever the tone is audible?
Not always. You may hear a tone clearly but struggle to understand speech in the same space. Echoes, background noise, speaker position and the wording of your message all matter.
How are different messages triggered?
You can select messages through the configured inputs on the sounder and controller. The messages available to you, and their priority, depend on your model and system setup.
Can a Vimpex sounder connect to my existing panel?
Check supply voltage, current, circuit monitoring and how messages are selected. Send the panel model and the sounder part number to check the proposed connection.
What information is needed for a replacement Fire-Cryer?
Send the full model code, supply voltage, required messages and details of any controller. A photograph of the label and wiring diagram helps identify the correct version.
How should voice messages be tested after installation?
Test that the intended message plays in each alarm condition and can be understood in the occupied areas. Include normal background noise and check message priority and synchronisation where used.
