Sound module mounts straight onto glass

2 September 2009 Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI

A versatile new glass-mounting version of the series 56 multitone sound module is now available from EAO. Designed with new generation public transport vehicles in mind, this product can be mounted directly onto glass, quickly and with few holes. The unit connects on each side of the glass through a single, central hole with few fixing screws.

Sealed to IP69K from the front, this product is shock resistant, vandal resistant and flame retardant. It can be mounted anywhere, even outside in areas which are jet washed. The speaker is moulded from rugged polycarbonate in a choice of conical or flat fronted designs. It is protected by a chromium-plated or thermoplastic bezel in a choice of bright, contrasting colours.

The multitone sound module (MTSM) meets the need for a device that will emit a range of different sounds according to the change in status of equipment or machinery. For instance, it can be used on trains to help the visually impaired locate a doorway and notify them that a door is closing. It is pre-programmed with five standard tone sequences that are commonly used as warning, orientation, acknowledgement or approval signals, but the signals can be modified according to individual needs.
