A GUIDE TO BS5839-8 VOICE ALARM SYSTEM DESIGN
It's a well-established fact that people respond morequickly to the spoken wordand that clear, directed voice messages can, in the event of an emergency, save lives. In the UK, voice alarm system design and installation is governed by BS5839 part 8. This hour-long CPD certified seminar aims to give attendees a general understanding of the subject matter. The seminar covers the relevant standards, summarises the types of equipment and solutions available and gives practical advice on loudspeaker placement and other key issues.
Every course submitted for CPD (Continuing Professional Development) certification is assessed by an independent panel of experts to ensure that its educational content is at an appropriate level. This course has been categorized as being suitable for an “intermediate” audience in that both novices and experienced participants are likely to benefit.

VOICE ALARM SYSTEM SALES, DESIGN, INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING
This two hour course follows on from the CPD certified course (described above) and focuses on the sale, design, installation and commissioning of our AVAC and Integrity voice alarm systems.

HEARING ASSISTANCE SOLUTIONS: THE ROUTE TO DDA COMPLIANCE
Over 10% of the population suffer from hearing impairment. Under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) anyone offering goods, facilities or services to the general public must make ‘reasonable’ adjustments to ensure they do not discriminate against such people. This hour-long CPD certified seminar summarises what the DDA recommends for the hearing impaired and provides an overview of the various hearing assistance solutions that are available. It describes how auxiliary aids such as sound reinforcement, infrared, radio and audio-frequency induction loop systems work, their pros and cons and typical applications.

THE PDA RANGE OF AUDIO FREQUENCY INDUCTION LOOP SYSTEMS (AFILS)
This three to four hour course follows on from the CPD certified course (described above) and offers installers, sales professionals, engineers and architects an overview of the PDA RANGE of audio-frequency induction loop system. Its sections include:-
• What are induction loop systems?
• A history of the telecoil and induction loop systems
• Why loop systems are used and are useful – hearing loss and how hearing aids work
• Induction loop legislation – BS7594, the DDA and its enforcement agency, the DRC.
• How do induction loop systems work?
• The PDA range of induction loop amplifiers
• Testing induction loops to ensure compliance with accepted British standards
• Installation and low overspill designs
