The ALERTEX Lockdown System comprises battery operated units which can be quickly installed on the school site over a weekend or even at the end of the school day; thus, minimising disruption to the learning environment. The battery life is around three years. A maximum of 64 units can be installed per site, with 16 mesh hops up to 1km apart. When one ALERTEX unit is activated, it will trigger all units in range to sound an audible alert or lockdown message, accompanied by a flashing beacon light. ALERTEX units can sound a variety of alerts to differentiate them from a fire alarm. There are 32 sounds to choose from, or alternatively, an annunciator variant can be ordered which has a built-in strobe. There is a standard lockdown message or the school may wish to record their own message. In some cases, the school may wish to play a music clip which pupils recognise as a danger and must make their way to their nearest classroom. ALERTEX call points and sounder / beacons are available as both internal and external (weatherproof) variants. Cages are also available for external units which may be prone to objects hitting them and causing a false alarm: i.e. footballs. Decibel levels can be adjusted so that external units can be louder than internal units.
