School
Applications
PRO-VOICE
provides significant advantages over typical bells and tone generators
for schools. Here are some:
Tornado Warning - Connect the PRO-VOICE system to the municipal
tornado siren system or to a NOAA S.A.M.E. radio. When an automated
alert occurs, PRO-VOICE will make an immediate announcement. T-Series
units can access your phone system via the ALL CALL page port. Then a
calm human voice provides a facility wide tornado warning and directs
occupants to shelter areas.
Class Changes, Lunches, and Breaks - By hooking PRO-VOICE to the Task Manager
software included in your PC, you can establish significant
organization within your facility. You have the flexibility to
schedule multiple announcements to be made at various times.
Student Prompting - By prompting students and informing them of the time
remaining before the start of a class, more of them will arrive for
class in a timely manner.
Calm Transitions - Abrupt bells and tones can be disruptive to the
minds of students. Implementing a gradual increase of volume, and
directing students with a calm human voice promotes peace and
tranquility instead of hasty or agitated reactions.
Code Blue - In a code blue scenario, it is critical to know the
exact location of the event. Security staff, administrators, law
enforcement, and students need accurate information in order to
respond correctly and to escape from trouble. PRO-VOICE creates
solutions superior to those of many expensive systems offered today.
Rotating Schedules - One or two hour delay, early release, and block
scheduling are all simplified with the marriage of the PC and
PRO-VOICE.
Zoned Announcements - You may want to advise physical education, science,
and other classes that class changes are coming in 5 or 10 minutes.
With the PRO-VOICE T-Series, this is easily accomplished using your
existing PA or intercom system.
National Anthem - Because PRO-VOICE has no moving parts and produces
CD quality sound, it's a perfect choice for repeated sounds used at
academic and sporting events.
Easy Theme Change - Changing the CF memory card will change the theme of
your facility.
Automatic Time Changes - Atomic clock synchronization software is
inexpensive and easy to use on a PC. Since the PC tells PRO-VOICE when
to play a message, accuracy will automatically be maintained.
Uses Existing Equipment - Budgets are tight! What could be better than
simply adding one item to your equipment rack to add significant
capabilities?
Daylight Savings Time - Another advantage of connecting and triggering
PRO-VOICE with a PC is that the PC can adjust to daylight savings time
automatically.
Facility Evacuation - Although this scenario isn't a great challenge for
the PRO-VOICE systems, it can be the key to keeping the masses calm. A
key-switch in the administrator's office is all it takes to activate
safety information and safety warnings area wide. A calm and safe exit
is our goal.
Secondary Fire Alarm - Fire alarms lack critical information! You hear the
loud noise of the alarm, but do you know the location of the fire? The
answer may be to interface PRO-VOICE with fire detection equipment.
PRO-VOICE then provides the details needed so that: a) people can
evacuate in the correct path, and b) fire responders know exactly
where to find the fire. Can you imagine the incredible impact this can
have in saving lives and reducing damage?
School
Bus Safety
– Consider making your school buses safer for students. PRO-VOICE
can be effective both in preventing and coping with accidents. Routine
uses could be a spoken advisory to the driver when the caution lights
are activated and de-activated, or a statement of bus safety rules
whenever a student boards the bus. Emergency uses such as announcing
evacuation procedures, advising that the emergency rear exit door has
been opened, or activating an automated distress signal to
pre-selected recipients can all be accomplished using PRO-VOICE.
Announcements can be made using dedicated speakers or existing
speakers if your bus has a radio or stereo, while distress signals,
activated by a panic button, can be directed through the transceiver.
PRO-VOICE wants to be proactive in providing more protection for young
bus riders. Do you?
OSFC Information - The Planning Director at the OSFC (Ohio School Facilities Commission) recently stated that Pro-Voice complies with the OSDM (Ohio School Design Manual) and does not require a variance. This information was obtained after the Design Manual Update Committee reviewed this technology in November, 2004
Reduced confusion and panic in an emergency, and increased security and safety for students is top priority at our educational institutions. Why entrust your facilities and those who occupy them with anything less than the latest technology? PRO-VOICE ANNOUNCEMENT SYSTEMS are the most advanced warning and notification systems available. PRO-VOICE can be customized to meet the unique requirements at your facility. Announcement of an impending tornado and safety instructions can be stated in a clear and calm human voice. PRO-VOICE will direct administrators and emergency personnel directly to any affected area by specifying the exact location of the problem. Bells and buzzers can cause confusion. PRO-VOICE technology improves response time and eliminates human error. PRO-VOICE can be multi-lingual and can be set to repeat until no longer needed. PRO-VOICE ANNOUNCEMENT SYSTEMS for schools are SUPERIOR in performance.
