Nortek VMMS Audio Message Annunciator System

The Nortek VMMS Audio Message Annunciator System is a flexible electronic multi-message system for playing warning messages, public announcement messages and status alerts. It is suitable for vehicle, public transport, industrial, fire suppression and commercial applications where clear recorded audio messages need to be triggered by electrical inputs or system conditions.

The VMMS can store multiple audio messages internally without the need for SD cards. It provides 15 electrical inputs that can be configured to trigger individual messages based on the customer’s application, making it suitable for a wide range of vehicle and equipment warning systems.

Nortek can supply standard message sets for common automotive and vehicle applications, or create bespoke message sets to suit specific requirements. Messages can be recorded in male or female voices, in different languages, and configured with repeat and priority options where important warning messages need to take precedence.

Vehicle and industrial audio message annunciators

Audio message annunciators are used when a clear spoken warning or instruction is more useful than a simple alarm tone. In vehicle applications, they can alert drivers, passengers or operators to important conditions such as handbrake warnings, fire suppression events, driver fatigue alerts, carousel warnings or other safety-related events.

The Nortek VMMS is designed for applications where multiple messages need to be stored, triggered and prioritised. It can be used as part of a wider vehicle safety system, public transport system, industrial control system or commercial warning system.

The Nortek VMMS Audio Message Annunciator System is a flexible electronic multi-message system capable of storing multiple audio messages for the relaying of warning or general public announcement messages in a wide and varied range of applications from Vehicle, Public Transport, Industrial, Fire Suppression and Commercial applications.

A total of 15 Electrical inputs are available, which can be configured as either high or low side inputs, (5V switching compatibility is also available on the high side inputs). These inputs can be mapped to play individual messages based on the customer or application requirements and each VMMS unit will store multiple messages without the need for SD Cards.

Nortek has a wide variety of standard message sets, configured off the shelf to suit most Automotive & Vehicle applications. However we can also customise either individual messages or create entire message sets to our customers’ requirements in Male or Female voice options and even different languages.

A random sample of some of the standard messages available are available below.

Messages can be configured to repeat, until a status changes or condition is reset, and in addition we can also program messages to be given individual priority, for example where a warning or fire message needs to be played over any concurrent message activation.

The Nortek VMMS is available with either 1 or 2 speaker outputs, each individually controllable for volume. We offer both accessible volume controls and hidden internal volume controls in relation to the enclosure style, and in addition the main speaker output can be tamper protected (to flag any physical disconnection).

The VMMS Audio Message Annunciator System will operate from 18v – 32v dc making it suitable for many applications, whether powered from a Vehicle or using a suitable 24v dc power supply for use in other applications (available upon request).

The Nortek VMMS is also E-marked for vehicle applications and is also available as a CANBUS option
