Signal management and control – you're in the driver's seat and handling is a snap.
From the plant floor, the control room, your desktop or laptop – you can control your routine and emergency signaling from just about anywhere.
The Edwards family of signaling control innovations has a solution that fits the way you do business. For audible, visual, and voice signaling, you are in complete control. And that makes you a better communicator.
Millennium System Master® : You're in complete control from the plant floor.
Get multi-function power and true flexibility for both emergency and routine signaling. With a single Millennium System Master you take complete control of all your emergency, evacuation, and routine signaling. And you do it with functionality and features that can turn plant-floor signaling into a powerful business tool.
The System Master control panel is your new signaling communications center. Its simple touch-programming keys and easy-to-read, 40-character, 2-line LCD display make set up, operations, and modifications a snap. Thanks to System Master's Dynamic Zone Control™ (DZC) and its programmable zone reconfiguration, you can leverage the signaling investments you've already made without the need for expensive rewiring.

Plus, Millennium System Master meets all OSHA self-monitoring, prioritization, and standby power requirements, as well as UL standards for emergency evacuation signaling.
You're in complete control integrating System Master's voice notification with your fire system.
There is a tremendous need for integrated and supervised emergency evacuation and fire systems. Oversight agencies realize this and have either made or are making code changes. In fact, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has drafted a regulation specifically to address a facility's emergency action plan and to allow safe escape of employees from the workplace (OSHA Regulation 1910.165).
Edwards products – Adaptatone® System Signals, Millennium System Master®, Genesis® – are designed for both emergency evacuation and general signaling. They can be used by themselves for plant alarm and employee emergency notification, or integrated into your existing fire alarm system. When used in conjunction with your installed fire alarm system, Edwards signals can augment or replace existing bells, horns, or electronic notification appliances that sound when an alarm is initiated. Use the Millennium System Master in this
application to sound tones or pre-recorded voice messages. Personnel can use the panel's onboard microphone or external microphones for
real-time, live-voice announcements and directions.
OSHA 1910.165
OSHA 1910.165 was developed to reduce the severity of workplace accidents and injuries by ensuring that alarm systems operate properly and procedures are in place to alert employees to workplace emergencies. It applies to all employers that use an alarm system to satisfy any OSHA standard that requires employers to provide an early warning for emergency action, or reaction time for employees to safely escape the workplace, the immediate work area, or both.
General Requirements
1910.165(b)(1)
The employee alarm system shall provide warning for necessary emergency action as called for in the emergency action plan, or for reaction time for safe escape of employees from the workplace or the immediate work area, or both.
1910.165(b)(2)
The employee alarm shall be capable of being perceived above ambient noise or light levels by all employees in the affected portions of the workplace. Tactile devices may be used to alert those employees who would not otherwise be able to recognize the audible or visual alarm.
1910.165(b)(3)
The employee alarm shall be distinctive and recognizable as a signal to evacuate the work area or to perform actions designated under the emergency action plan.
1910.165(b)(4)
The employer shall explain to each employee the preferred means of reporting emergencies, such as manual pull box alarms, public address systems, radio or telephones. The employer shall post emergency telephone numbers near telephones or employee notice boards, and other conspicuous locations when telephones serve as a means of reporting emergencies. Where a communication system also serves as the employee alarm system, all emergency messages shall have priority over all non-emergency messages.
1910.165(b)(5)
The employer shall establish procedures for sounding emergency alarms in the workplace. For those employers with 10 or fewer employees in a particular workplace, direct voice communication is an acceptable procedure for sounding the alarm provided all employees can hear the alarm. Such workplaces need not have a back-up system.

We have segmented the building into four zones and we are running a 25V audio system. A 70V audio system may also be configured. In this case, we would use 70V audio coupler cards inside the 5532M speaker/amplifiers in lieu of 25V coupler cards.
Zone 1
The first zone is an office area that measures 20 feet by 20 feet and has an ambient noise level of about 60dB. In this zone we installed one RS485-capable Mini-MiTM Speaker/Amplifier with its volume turned down so that we measure about 10dB above background at the furthest extreme. The Mini-Mi will most likely be used for paging in this area.
Zone 2
The second zone is the warehouse. This area measures 50 feet by 50 feet and has an ambient noise level of about 75dB. Here we have installed two RS485 capable Adaptatone 5532M Speaker/Amplifiers at either end of the building's width.These Adaptatones have their volume adjusted so that we read 10dB above background in the middle of the warehouse. In this area the Adaptatones will most likely be used to sound routine paging, shift changes, and break times.
Zone 3
The third zone is the outdoor yard and loading dock area that measures 50 feet by 100 feet. Here we installed one RS485-capable Adaptatone 5532M Speaker/Amplifier in the middle of the building. Ambient noise varies widely in this area, so we set the Adaptatone at maximum volume. In this area the Adaptatone will most likely be used for paging.
Zone 4
The fourth zone is the counter and display area. Here we installed one RS485-capable Mini-Mi Speaker/Amplifier with its volume turned down so that we measure about 10dB above background at the furthest extreme. The background ambient in this area is about 65dB. In the counter and display area the Mini-Mi is used for routine paging and to sound timed events such as custom wav files that are used to advertise product specials.

Use an existing Fire Control
Panel to activate the System Master Panel
for voice evacuation in conjunction with fire alarm activation. When the fire panel goes into alarm it activates a fire alarm relay on its NAC output. The relay then activates the System Master Panel. The panel then outputs to speakers and speaker/ amplifiers on its supervised audio loop. Devices require local power.
