Alertus’ IP Text-to-Speech (TTS) Interface
Overcome the challenges of pre-recorded messages and live voice announcements by delivering clear, spoken-voice emergency alerts and detailed instructions on how to react. The TTS Interface embeds in a compact PCB module that fits inside most Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP), public address systems, outdoor speaker systems, and standalone indoor/outdoor speaker enclosures.
Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) Interface
Due to the high risk of fire within the critical infrastructure sector, industries must follow NFPA 72 standards and guidelines to ensure the safety of their workers. Fire alarm integration allows fire panel events to activate the Alertus System, extending to the Alert Beacon and text-to-speech functionality to provide spoken voice output. The system also ties in with existing strobes and sounders.
Two-Way Radio Integration
By including these devices as an endpoint within your system, you can streamline emergency notifications and eliminate any extra steps. Integrated with digital and analog systems, the Alertus System overrides the designated channel. It uses text-to-speech technology to provide clear, spoken-voice emergency alerts to the appropriate personnel, regardless of location.

[Blog]: What to Look for in a Mass Notification System for Oil and Gas Drilling Sites
The oil and gas industry plays a critical role in the global economy but can pose a hazardous environment for employees onshore and offshore drilling sites. With a customizable mass notification system (MNS), you can keep your people safe and informed.
[Case Study]: Lake City Army Ammunition Plant
Visual alerting is ideal for high-occupancy and high-noise ammunition production facilities such as the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. So when the plant installed the Army’s first audiovisual notification system for use in an ammunition production area, they incorporated the Alertus Alert Beacon®.
“We will use the new system to notify our employees of severe weather warnings, hazardous materials releases, industrial accidents, active shooter situations, and other emergencies that affect the installation as a whole.”
