Critical wireless alert system from Luminite Electronics now marketed under ALERTEX branding

The company feels that the ALERTEX branding better encompasses what models in the range do as this is a wireless critical alert system designed to provide a clear warning to an event requiring action.

Specifically, ALERTEX comprises a range of wireless internal and external Call Points with sounders and beacons which can be rapidly deployed to provide a robust alarm system. Units are battery-powered and have a long and robust transmission range of 1 km between them. 

The systems are portable and quick and easy to install with no civil works or cabling required. Internal and external units are available in a choice of colours.

In terms of applications, ALERTEX units can be used in schools and places of worship as a lockdown system or on construction sites as a fire alert system.

Lockdown System: This is aimed primarily at schools and universities.  Visually and audibly different to a fire alert, ALERTEX units comply with current OFSTED guidelines on lockdown. When one ALERTEX unit is activated, it will then trigger all units in range to sound an audible lockdown alert or message with a flashing blue beacon. This solution is distinct from a fire alarm in both sound and appearance.

Fire Alert System: Aimed at construction sites or buildings undergoing refurbishment and acts as a rapid portable warning system to fire, suspected terrorist attack or any other alert event requiring evacuation.  

Speaking about this development, Graham Creek, managing director of Luminite Electronics, informed Fire Safety Matters: “The name change to ALERTEX imparts the intention of this range which is to provide a clear alert to an event requiring action, whether that be a lockdown or evacuation.”
