The new products are: the stand-alone voice alarm/public address system (VIGIL Eclipse4), VIGIL3 transformerless amplifiers, VIGIL3 charger module and last, but not least, is the touch screen microphone.
The new VIGIL Eclipse4 uses Baldwin Boxall's latest transformerless voice alarm amplifiers. In common with its predecessors, the VIGIL Eclipse4 is a wall mountable, stand-alone voice alarm/public address system, providing a highly-efficient solution to the market.
The Eclipse4 uses proven EVAS routeing technology and has the ability to include up to four of the company's new VIGIL3 amplifier modules (totalling up to 2,400 Watts). With its shallow profile, modular nature and outstanding networking capabilities, the VIGIL Eclipse4 is the perfect solution for many installations - small or large.
As with all Baldwin Boxall voice alarm systems, VIGIL Eclipse4 will simply connect to any leading fire panel via the internal fire alarm interface. Increased power, smaller size, lighter weight are just a few of the features of this new range of amplifiers.
There are five amplifier modules in the range - each one is a highly efficient unit with a built in power supply and floating transformerless output. The new VIGIL3 Voice Alarm amplifier range is "the next generation of voice alarm amplifiers". The amplifiers weigh up to an incredible 66% lighter on a like-for-like basis, when compared with VIGIL2, says the company.
With the inclusion of a power supply in each of the new VIGIL3 amplifiers, the necessary charger module is now smaller in size. The new VIGIL3 charger unit is in fact half the size of its predecessor and is capable of monitoring and charging an impressive five VIGIL3 amplifiers.
Also being demonstrated on Baldwin Boxall's stand at ISE is their new touch screen control microphone. The unit is a multi-function user interface for VIGIL voice alarm systems which is easy to use via the touch sensitive control screen.
The new microphone is compatible with established VIGIL2 systems, providing the ability to swap out current microphones, should this be felt necessary.
