The Elements of a Reliable and Survivable Emergency Communications System
SimplexGrinnell’s layered approach to Emergency Communications mandates a number of different solutions be brought together to form a comprehensive solution. To achieve this we offer not only the leading-edge Simplex® systems identified below, but also the advanced Emergency Communications products of various Technology Partners.
Simplex® 4003EC Emergency Voice System
The 4003EC is an advanced Emergency Voice/Alarm Communications device that can serve as a multi-function voice control panel for single building applications. The 4003EC is particularly well suited for school auditoriums, universities, campuses, churches and other areas of assembly where codes require voice communications, but where an integrated 4100U Fire Alarm System may not be as cost-effective. The 4003EC can be activated from virtually any Simplex® fire panel or competitive fire panel and accepts voice input from a central command center — a key requirement of Emergency Communications Systems.

Simplex® 4100U Fire Alarm and Voice System
The 4100U offers the highest level of fire protection with a superior digital voice capability that is well suited as the foundation for any Emergency Communications System. Added Emergency Communications features include the ability to communicate NOAA (National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration) weather information and EAS (Emergency Alert System) information via the 4100U. (Note: EAS information is supplied by the Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau.) Click here for more information.
Simplex® TrueAlert™ Multi-Candela Amber Strobes
These amber lens, multi-candela strobes provide non-fire alarm alert notification for use with Emergency Communications systems where additional response information is provided by audio appliances or text displays. They are individually addressed and individually controlled with power, supervision, and control supplied from a TrueAlert Addressable Signaling Line Circuit. In addition to a single lens appliance, a dual amber/clear lens appliance is available. Click here for more information.
Simplex® TrueAlert™ Visual Displays

The TrueAlert Visual Display is an IDNet™ device that supports up to 32 predefined emergency messages that can be triggered automatically via the 4100U IDNet channel. In addition, the TrueAlert visual display provides critical communications in areas where personnel are hearing impaired or where audibility is difficult. Click here for more information.
