- Multiple evacuation panels can be interconnected for larger installations and to reduce wiring costs
- Wide range of flat interface units – single way and four way (extendable to 8 way) versions to accommodate new build and retro-fit installations
- Multiple evacuation alert devices including self-testing 100dB sounders (allowing tests to be carried out by service personnel without having to enter flats), visual indicators and vibrating pillow pads for Equality Act compliance
