Visalert has a re-chargeable battery backup, a feature Brooks considers essential. The battery provides the necessary standby power so that the Visalert is still capable of providing a warning even if the 230-volt mains supply fails (ie. electrical fire).
As the intense strobe light provides the warning for the hearing-impaired person, this should be battery backed for the same reason. Visalert can be placed in both the bedroom and living areas. The hearing impaired will be alerted whether in bed or watching television.
The Brooks Visalert Visual Warning Device has the following features:
- Intense 4.2 Joule white strobe light
- Mains “Power On” and “Battery Low” indicators
- Unique anti-tamper mounting base
- Interconnects to Brooks 230-volt smoke/heat alarms
- Battery backed with built-in rechargeable battery
- Easy installation
- Test button to test strobe light
- Low/faulty battery indication
