Germany - ProLight&Sound 2003: In addition to its new range of Vigil FireCare fire telephones, Baldwin Boxall (on the stand of distributor Laauser & Vohl) was showing the three models in the recently introduced Vigil 2 voice alarm Class D amplifiers, greater than 80% efficient, drawing less current and therefore reducing unwanted heat. Also included in this range is a new Switch Mode Power improving efficiency and reducing unwanted heat dissipation. Also on show, was the touch screen and download software for the popular Vigil BVR20 Microdrive 20-zone Voice Alarm routing matrix. The software enables engineers to re-program the BVR20 on site from their laptop computer - saving time and money. Finally, the new Vigil CommuniCare is a communication system developed for public buildings containing refuge areas. It allows wheelchair-bound personnel to be kept in contact with fire officers whilst held in safe refuge areas during an emergency.
