Fire Station Alerting

During a dispatch alert, the Phoenix G2 ATX Station Controller processes the alert at the fire station, and then returns an “acknowledgment” back to the Phoenix G2 Communications Gateway located at the dispatch center. The ATX alerts any combination of room zones using individual lighting, messaging and volume control in each zone.The ATX Station Controller stores the station configuration and alerting locations in memory. It can easily be configured and updated remotely through our encrypted Web interface, over a private network. The ATX computer features a secure, embedded oper­ating system that runs on a high-speed flash memory. It also has a touchscreen display for first responders to view station alerts.

• Ramped, heart-saver alert tones
• 12” touchscreen
• Zoned alerting
• DTMF paging
• Local and remote monitoring and logging
• Remote configuration and software updates

The Phoenix G2 Color Indicator Remote is instantly recognizable by fire station personnel. It provides colorful, immediate dispatch information to the observer. The peripheral is easily visible in sunlit rooms, and the LED lights are fully programmable via the ATX Station Controller.

This visual alerting device joins the family of easy-to-install, single-wire, Power over Ethernet (PoE) G2 peripheral devices.

The Phoenix G2 HDTV Remote can be configured to display data for fire stations or dispatch centers on a customer-provided TV. This remote is another Phoenix G2 peripheral that provides firefighters and first responders with another means of visual alerting.

• Shows alerted units, turnout timer and incident location map
• Ideal for dispatch centers and administrative areas
• Lists recent alerts and individual station success indicators
• Maps can show customer-provided location information

The Phoenix G2 IO Remote interfaces between the ATX Station Controller and field devices at the fire station. The inputs (I) can be configured to monitor switches such as doorbells, walk-in alert triggers and door open sensors. The outputs (O) can be used to signal automatic doors and gates, activate strobe lights and more.

The I/O Remote may be installed up to 300 feet from the ATX Station Controller. Like all Phoenix G2 peripheral devices, the I/O Remote receives power and data via a single Ethernet CAT5 or CAT6 cable. The extruded, all-aluminum enclosure features laser-etched labels for all inputs and outputs. It has flanged end plates for easy installation.

Input and output rules are easily configured in the Station Controller Interface. This enables individual outputs to respond to unit alarms, time of day alarms, and many more options. Inputs can be set to trigger other outputs, act as doorbell inputs, acknowledge calls and more.

US Digital Designs’ I/O rule software interface allows you to configure the inputs and outputs in an almost limitless fashion

The Phoenix G2 Illuminated Speaker incorporates a speaker and long-lasting LED lighting, offering luminosity without causing light blindness.

Designed to assist first responders out of bed, out of the room and down the hall, it offers soft-start, ramped night lighting at the time of dispatch.

Each speaker is fitted with high-intensity red LEDs, which provide exceptional luminosity without causing light blindness due to dark-to-bright transition.

The speakers receive power from the ATX Station Controller, Message Remote or Room Remote 2. Recommended installation locations include dorm rooms, hallways and common areas.

• Features & Benefits
• High-intensity red LED lights
• Soft-start ramped lighting at dispatch
• Exceptional luminosity without causing light blindness

The Phoenix G2 Message Remote 2 is a highly flexible peripheral providing support for up to two of our legacy Beta Bright LED signs as well as 2 independent audio zones. The MR2 contains two independent 15 watt audio amplifiers which can power a variety of speakers including our Sound Sphere speaker, 70 Volt as well as 8 ohm speakers, illuminated and non illuminated speakers.

Each MR2 channel has a dry contact input and a dry contact output. These I/O points are programmable to various functions, such as door bells, control valves and switches, lighting controls, etc.

There is a maximum amount of power that can be connected to an MR2 so not all functions are available in all combinations. Consult with USDD to verify that the combination of signs, speakers and I/O does not exceed the maximum power available from the MR2.

The Message Remote 2 is installed quickly and easily, and is a favorite among installers and system designers due to its ability to meet nearly any architectural need.

• Most flexible peripheral available
• Contains two independent audio amplifiers
• Can be used to add additional speaker zones to a station

The Phoenix G2 Omni Alert Strobe Speaker is a dual-purpose, visual and audible fire station alerting device. It’s particularly effective in large, open areas with high ambient noise, as well as in acoustically challenging environments (e.g., apparatus bays and shops).

Requires Message Remote 2 for Power / Signal / Control.

• Visual and audible alerting device
• Ideal in large open areas like apparatus bays
• Rotating bursts of light to visually alert your personnel

Easier to use than its predecessor, the Room Remote 2 delivers audio and visual emergency alerts with adjustable settings (e.g., units to be alerted, radio monitoring, or volume).

It comes with a built-in turnout timer and a 10.1-inch full-color high-resolution LCD touch screen display for immediate visual reinforcement of the alert, simultaneously showing dispatched units, incident information text and turnout timer.

The G2 Room Remote 2 sends targeted dispatch messages to specific fire station units or rooms.

Uses for the Room Remote 2 include:

-Dorm Rooms – select alerts only for unit in dorm

-Offices – monitor other station units’ activity

-Training Rooms – volume control and quiet alerts

• Shows dispatched units, incident information and turnout time
• Easily adjust settings for volume, units and radio alerts
• Backlight control dims the display when an alert is not active
• High-intensity red LED lights
• Soft-start ramped lighting at dispatch
• Exceptional luminosity without causing light blindness

Support your alerting with the Phoenix G2 Strobe Light, a high-intensity LED blinking strobe that visually alerts crews in areas with high ambient noise levels, such as a kitchen, shower, apparatus bay, workshop or compressor room.

The Strobe’s lights flash 180 degrees in a series of four per-cycle to simulate a quad-flash strobe, and have the benefit of a 100,000-hour life. Each unit has 21 LED lights, three of which burn steadily to maintain visual contact even during the off period of the flash.

The Strobe has a black powder-coated aluminum mounting bracket, a polycarbonate lens and three, 8-inch wire leads.

• All-purpose, high-intensity LED blinking strobe
• Activated at the time of alert
• Ideal for visual indication in high noise areas
