Evacuation Siren (standalone)

This is a 127dB wireless evacuation siren that runs off mains power and pairs with its trigger before it leaves us. You choose a location, mount it, and plug it in. There's no cabling to run and no installer to book.That matters most on sites where running cable isn't practical. Occupied buildings, staged construction, temporary compounds, yards where the layout changes every few weeks.

Where a standalone siren fits

A standalone system is the simplest Orisent configuration. You install at least one trigger and one siren. They talk to each other over an internal mesh radio frequency module. We ship them already connected, so setup means picking a spot and powering up.Be clear about what you give up. A standalone system will not:

• Report the status of each device, including connectivity or power
• Record system activity such as tests or activations
• Let you monitor the system remotely
• Let you authorise a full or partial site evacuation

If you need any of those, add a Touchscreen Control Unit. If you don't, a standalone setup saves you the cost. 

Coverage and siren placement

One siren doesn't cover a whole site. Sound drops off with distance and gets absorbed by walls, plant and stored material. A siren audible in an open yard may be inaudible two floors up in a concrete stairwell.Work it the other way around. Walk the site and identify where people actually are. Crib rooms, work faces, plant rooms, car parks, upper levels. Place a siren so every one of those areas gets a clear signal over normal working noise. Then test it with the site running, not on a quiet Saturday.Safe Work Australia's emergency plans guidance also asks you to plan for people with hearing impairment. A siren alone doesn't reach them. Pair sirens with a visual alert or a documented buddy system in your emergency plan. 

Adding sirens as the site changes

Expansion is the reason most sites choose wireless. A hardwired siren costs you a cable run every time a level opens up or a compound moves. This one costs you a power point.Because the siren joins the existing mesh network, adding units doesn't mean reconfiguring the system. Each new device strengthens the network rather than stretching it.Send us a site plan and we'll tell you how many sirens the layout needs and where to put them.
