Emergency Communications
NOTIFIER’s First Command TM is a compact, standalone voice evacuation
and emergency communications system that can be used in many
common building types to meet life safety code or end user requirements
for voice or paging during an emergency. It’s an integrated system that
can be easily expanded to include many of the advanced features found
in NOTIFIER’s more sophisticated Digital Voice Command system such
as backup amplifi cation, remote microphones, fi refi ghters telephones,
local operating consoles and remote paging units.

Emergency Communications
First Command TM Integration
With direct integration to NOTIFIER’s addressable ONYX ® or FireWarden panels, the fi re alarm control panel can take direct control of First
Command TM during an incident. The fi re alarm control panel and First Command TM will act as one unit in identifying the alarm location and
responding with the correct message appropriate for that incident or emergency. Programming the integrated First Command TM system
is done via a serial communications by using a built in programming utility from a laptop with a web browser. First Command TM can be
added to buildings with non-NOTIFIER fi re panels via contact closures and make the most of fi re panels already installed.
Powerful Features
The First Command TM main unit has 50 watts of audio power with the option of sending the message to up to eight discrete speaker
circuits. The addition of a second, optional amplifi er raises the power output to 100 watts or 50 watts of backup power. Up to fourteen
unique messages can be stored in First Command TM and then directed to the areas of the building where the emergency is unfolding
either automatically via programming or manually by the incident commander. Distributed amplifi ers can be added to the main unit for
system expansion up to 1,100 watts of speaker power split over 24 speaker
circuits. If called for by the system designer, up to a total of eight Local Operating
Consoles (LOCs), Remote Paging Units (RPUs), or Remote Microphones (RMs)
can be added to First Command TM via an easy-to-wire interface. LOCs or RPUs
can be installed through the building. If an incident occurs near a LOC or RPU,
more precise incident management is possible.
