1.1 What is Voice Evacuation ?
Voice evacuation is used to make emergency voice announcements to people inside a
building. The system operates when a fire condition is detected, telling people to
evacuate the building. This is accomplished with a microphone, amplifier, and speakers,
which will sound an alarm tone, and then the building manager or fire department keys
the microphone and broadcasts instructions. “The fire alarm system has been activated.
Walk to the nearest exit and leave the building immediately.”
Voice messages are very effective in convincing people to take action in an emergency.
Many people will ignore bells or horns but will move when a human voice is telling them
what to do. This has been repeatedly proven in numerous studies by universities and
public safety agencies.
The Hochiki FNV system provides this voice evacuation function and much more.
Evacuating a high-rise building poses major challenges. Elevators are needed for fire
department use, and huge numbers of people scrambling down stairwells is slow, can
cause panic, and block firefighters from climbing up the stairs.
FNV was designed and purpose-built to address the complex problems in providing life-
safety for people in skyscrapers and other large structures.
Life-safety evac systems must be much more than speakers and amplifiers. First, they
must be supervised so that building management is immediately notified when a problem
occurs, such as a broken wire, or critical component failure. Second, they must be
Approved and Listed for use as life safety systems.
Hochiki FNV equipment is tested to tough standards such as Underwriters Laboratories
(UL), and meets strict standards and codes, such as the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA).

The Hochiki FNV High Rise Evacuation System
operates in conjunction with the Fire Alarm Control
Panel (FACP) in a building to provide automatic
response to life safety emergencies.
The Hochiki FNV includes all necessary features
to provide an effective voice evacuation system.
The Hochiki FNV can be custom configured to
satisfy the needs of any high rise application.
Fire department authorities can easily take
command of evacuation or relocation procedures
and emergencies. Building management and fire
brigades can monitor and control emergency
response even before the professionals arrive
The FNV system includes capacity for 6 channels
of simultaneous audio. This provides for
evacuation, stay-in-place, or other public address
announcements and automatic messages.
Fire Fighter Phones or Warden Stations may be
included as required.
