Honeywell Life Safety (HLS), a business unit of Honeywell recently launched EvacPro, a revolutionary range of standalone Voice Alarm Systems (VAS) that secures, informs and entertains, by combining voice alarm and public address capabilities with benefits of background music. The product range comprises of central control equipment, amplifiers, and speakers. The customer has a choice of purchasing products that suit their requirement. EvacPro's key features are identification of background music as a vital component that adds value to the business atmosphere in commercial areas, and entertains and enhances the ambience in recreational public places. The system has high performance versatile speaker features with superb sound quality and a functionality that makes listening experience exquisite and more enjoyable by playing different music in different zones of a facility.

Every location has its own unique and specific safety and public address requirements irrespective of whether it is a supermarket, large public or commercial building, an office tower, a residential complex, a train station, a school or a popular public entertainment spot. Designed to meet these requirements, the integrated, flexible and highly functional range of VAS, uses clear, easily understood, pre- recorded messages to direct people's escape in a fire emergency, in phases. The comprehensive range can also be used as a public address system for commercial as well as live announcements.

A salient feature of EvacPro is that it offers simultaneous evacuation messaging across the entire product range; a feature, which Honeywell's competitors provide only on premium products within the same vertical. This helps in sending out evacuation signals only to the area that requires immediate action, rather than creating unnecessary panic amongst non-stricken areas within the same building. Thus Honeywell's customers can make the most of EvacPro's high performance and superior quality technology without paying an extra premium.

"The launch of EvacPro marks another addition to our robust product range focusing on public safety. We feel this is an opportune time for us to launch the product as the market, which is growing at a healthy rate of 20 per cent in India, is now ready for innovative technologies than ever before. With EvacPro, it will be easier to tackle catastrophic situations in commercial and crowded areas" said Mr. Sudipto Datta, Marketing Leader, South Asia, Honeywell Life Safety.
