TOA Electronics, Inc., a subsidiary of TOA Corporation, is proud to announce another step forward in Fire Alarm and Life Safety Systems. TOA's VM-3000 Series Voice Evacuation System, currently the only UL2572 certified/listed Voice Evacuation system from an audio manufacturer, has achieved UL864 certification/listing for Fire Alarm audible notification. This certification/listing is an important step forward to achieving a truly unified, full range (50Hz to 20kHz) audio head end. TOA's VM-3000 Series Voice Evacuation System can provide high quality background music/paging/noise masking to a facility with both live and pre-recorded Emergency messages (UL2572), and Fire Alarm (UL864) temporal and voice audible notification available at any time over the same set of loudspeakers. TOA's VM-3000 Series Voice Evacuation System remains listed to S-576 only for Canada (standard program material and Emergency Evacuation messages over the same set of speakers).

The VM-3000 Series Voice Evacuation System consists of one VM-3240VA AMQ Voice Alarm System Amplifier and up to nine expansion amplifiers (VM-3240E AMQ Extension Amplifier) plus battery management (VX-2000DS AMQ Emergency Power Supply Unit).

Fire Alarm system requirements are simple - any certified/listed new or existing addressable Fire Alarm Control Panel that accepts addressable input/output modules, typically a total of 10 addressable modules, (dry contact input and relay output), can interface with the listed (S25258) TOA system.

Type E is for Emergency. Type F is for Fire Voice.
