The Audible Exit Sign

Directional Sound Defined
Directional Sounder – an audible means of identifying exits & egress routes to provide a means of overcoming the limitations of current exit signage and alarm signals (omni-directional sound)
22Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology.Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology.
What is the purpose of directional sound?
Directs occupants and firefighters to the nearest exit
Pulsating, broadband sound is distinctive from the audible sounds of bells, horns, or voice speakers
23Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology.Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology.
How is this different than our current systems?
Fire Alarm vs. “Directional Sound” technology
Fire Alarm (Detection & Alerting)• Early detection• Warn of imminent danger• Provide notification / warning via bells, horns, strobes, electronic sounders
“Directional Sound” (Exit Marking)• Audible sound to locate exits (or exit paths)• Equivalence to Low Location Lighting not fire alarm sounder
Different Types of Systems!
24Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology.Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology.
Why is directional sound necessary?
Human Behavior phenomena Occupants exit a building by a route familiar to
them – the way they came in “learned irrelevance” – people seldom
consider the information that is conveyed via exit signs or evacuation maps/floor plans
Directional sound reduces these tendencies
25Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology.Leaders in Life. Safety. Technology.
What are the benefits of directional sound?
Not intended to replace, but compatible with standard fire alarms Focus is providing additional sound cues to assist occupants in
locating the nearest exit ‘Attention capturing capability” overcomes issues of ‘learned
irrelevance’ of exit signs Sound travels around corners avoids issues of line-of-sight methods
(e.g. exit signs) Sound independent of language Provides cues in adverse conditions of smoke or other low visibility
condition Significant benefit to the visually impaired
Reduces evacuation times by up to 75% in smoke, 35% in clear visibility

*Between 2-3KHz is the frequency which is most sensitive to the human hearing and where all alarm sounders are placed.
Between 1-3KHz gives no location cues.
All 3 cues are required for accurate localization
