Battery-Operated Site Alarms

Site alarms are a vital part of fire safety on construction sites, temporary structures, and outdoor venues, offering a simple yet reliable way to raise the alarm in emergencies. Unlike traditional fire detection systems, these manual alarms are battery-operated and portable, providing flexibility for environments where permanent systems are not yet feasible.

From protecting workers on construction sites, temporary or pop-up venues or outdoor events, these alarms ensure that everyone is quickly alerted to evacuate in case of fire or other emergencies.

The Benefits of Site Alarms

Site alarms provide a reliable method of raising the alarm in environments that require a temporary solution. Whether it's a fire, chemical spill, or another dangerous incident, these systems are an effective way to signal evacuation. Site alarms also help businesses meet the requirements of the Fire Safety Order (FSO) by providing 'suitable' fire safety measures during construction works or temporary scenarios.

How Do Site Alarms Work?

Site alarms are manual systems that allow users to raise a very loud audible alarm with flashing strobe lights to alert all site occupants. While they do not detect fires automatically, they ensure rapid evacuation when activated.

These alarms provide the flexibility to adapt to various site sizes and configurations:

Standalone Alarms: A cost-effective solution for small sites and self-contained areas.
Linked Systems: Create a connected network of alarms, ensuring that activating one triggers all alarms on the circuit. This can be achieved by linking several battery site alarms or choosing a wireless site alarm system.

Wired or Wireless? Choose the Right Solution for Your Site

Manual site alarms provide a practical and effective way to raise the alarm in the event of an emergency, using loud sirens and strobe lights to alert site occupants to evacuate. These alarms can be used either as standalone units or simply linked together with 2-core cable to create a wider alarm circuit.

For larger or more complex sites, wireless systems like the Evacuator Synergy+ offer unparalleled flexibility. These alarms connect via radio frequency and can activate all linked devices when one is triggered. With a range of up to 2km and the capacity for significantly more units in a single system, they are ideal for expansive areas or sites where wiring would be impractical.
