True Digital for Unparalleled Clarity

From message storage to amplifier, everything is digital to eliminate distortion

Up to 32 Digital Audio Amplifiers can be connected to a DVC center

Each DAA is configurable as a primary or backup amplifier

DAA is a powerful 50 Watts in either 25 Volt or 70 Volt versions with four outputs per amplifier.


Large Number of Audio Zones

Larger applications can be accommodated with additional DVC centers

Each networked DVC adds support for another 32 DAA series amplifiers

Applications requiring hundreds of zones can be created by networking additional DVC centers over NOTI•FIRE•NET™


Network for Survivability and Scalability

Multiple DVC centers can be networked together with seamless integration into NOTI•FIRE•NET

NOTI•FIRE•NET with DVC provides: Added survivability and scalability Multiple command center support System expansion


Paging Over the Fire Alarm Network

Every DVC has an interface with NOTI•FIRE•NET

One channel audio over NOTI•FIRE•NET allows for network-wide live paging

Allows one DVC center to page over the whole system when multiple DVC centers are networked.


Multiple Paging Options

Preprogrammed multiple paging groups are standard with DVC New Group Paging Options

ONYX® Intelligent Sensing


ONYX® Intelligent Sensing

ONYX Intelligent Sensing Solves the most challenging and unique detection problems Offers the best protection from incipient fires by integrating:

Sophisticated sensor technology Powerful fire alarm control panel processing

ONYX Intelligent Sensing benefits: Minimized nuisance alarms Rapid, intelligent response Substantially reduced the cost of downtime due to false alarms or

fire related damage High-sensitivity without compromising stability or reliability


ONYX Intelligent Sensing Defined

Technologies Detector Sensitivity Adjust Maintenance Warnings Self-optimizing Pre-alarm Cooperative Detection Supervisory Smoke ID

Sensors VIEW Acclimate Plus HARSH


ONYX Intelligent Sensing

Programmed into every NOTIFIER ONYX Series Panel

Unique panel intelligence exclusive to NOTIFIER For enhanced protection, use specialty

sensors like VIEW Acclimate HARSH


Detector Sensitivity Adjust

Ability to program each and every detector’s settings, choosing from nine sensitivity levels

Nine sensitivity settings Provides options for controlling sensitivity levels to meet various

environmental conditions. Can be programmed manually or can alternate automatically

between daytime and night-time settings Nine distinct pre-alarm levels, based on pre-determined levels

of alarm

“Clean” vs. “Dirty” Environments


Self-Optimizing Pre-Alarm

A unique mode where the detector ‘learns’ its normal environment by measuring peak analog readings over a period of time

ONYX panel intelligence sets the Pre-Alarm levels just above these normal peaks.

Extremely sensitive pre-alarm capability with protection against nuisance alarms

Reduce false pre-alarms due to spikes


Three Maintenance Alerts

Determines when dust accumulation reaches an unacceptable level that can compromise detector performance

Control panel indicates one of three maintenance warning levels: Low Threshold Maintenance Required Maintenance Urgent

Precise report on detector condition


Cooperative Sensing

Exclusively from NOTIFIER Combination of up to three sensors in reaching the

alarm decision Fire alarm control panel looks at the values from

adjacent devices rather than input from only one device


Cooperative Sensing

There are three generally accepted fire signatures; heat, smoke and light

Only NOTIFIER looks at a fourth signature: uniform smoke spread

Adds “distance” to the equation Smoke acts like a gas and will evenly disperse Increased response to uniformly distributed smoke Sampling over a wider area is more stable Reject isolated sources of false signals


Supervisory Smoke ID: Commercial Applications

Shift to Preventative Approach Where the probability of unwarranted alarms is high

Where smoke sensitivity is set to an extremely low level for use as a maintenance alert.

Allows smoke sensors to quickly sense overheating equipment prior to serious damage occurring.

Can be annunciated at an indicator panel in just the maintenance department

Will not sound general alarm


VIEW Very Intelligent Early Warning

VIEW laser system has an advanced laser light source and patented optical design.

Addressable, spot detector Replaces complex and expensive

aspirating systems in critical environments. Sensitivity that is 10 to 50 times higher

than present photoelectric technology. Adjustable sensitivity of pre-alarm and

alarm levels from 1.0%/ft. to .03%/ft.. VIEW offers:

very early warning individual point annunciation total supervision simplified maintenance.


VIEW Very Intelligent Early Warning

VIEW is ideal for critical applications where even a trace of undetected smoke is unacceptable: Network server rooms Telephone facilities Cleanrooms Mission critical areas Museums and archives Records Storage Equipment Rooms Archives


HARSH Hostile Area Smoke Head

Replaces heat detectors in hostile environments (e.g. dirty & non-direct water spray)

A small fan draws air and smoke into a photoelectric sensing chamber

Filter removes unwanted particulates and water mist without removing smoke.

Helps protect the detection chamber and electronics in damp and moisture-rich environments.

Easy-to-replace filter


HARSH Hostile Area Smoke Head

No longer compromise on detection in critical areas that are dirty or wet. Paper, lumber and textile mills Food processing plants Packaging areas (corrugated dust) Laundry facilities Zoos, stables, barns


Acclimate Plus

Acclimate Plus constantly monitors ambient conditions Adjusts detection parameters and alarm thresholds

automatically Provides maximum detection and reduced nuisance alarms Combines thermal and photoelectric technologies to

maximize detection across a broad range of fire types. Photo-Thermal design

Chamber sensitivity increases with heat. Heat only option. Freeze warning.

Ideal Acclimate Plus Applications: Office areas Schools Healthcare facilities, Hospitals Hospitality – Hotels/Motels Restaurants
