KABO GROUP reviews the available information, prepares an agreed technical scope and completes the work with the defined documentation.

Open section↗The design defines zones, priorities, delays, messages and the responsible staff's manual control arrangements.
Device positions reflect background noise, acoustics, partitions and occupancy; voice systems must deliver understandable instructions, not simply high sound levels.
Testing covers primary and standby power, circuit monitoring, message priorities, fire microphones and evacuation-door interfaces.
This list explains the regulatory basis but is not a substitute for a project or a complete schedule for every building. Document status, amendments and building-specific requirements are verified when the project starts.

Open source↗We agree warning priorities, evacuation phases, zones, messages and system interfaces.
We select control equipment, sounders, beacons, loudspeakers, microphones, circuits and standby supplies.
We install devices and circuits, then configure zoning, messages, priorities and control logic.
We check audibility, intelligibility where applicable, visual indicators, fault monitoring, standby power and connected systems.
The design may use audible alarms, visual indicators, voice messages, zoning and a fire microphone depending on the building and evacuation strategy.
It is a distinct function activated through the approved cause-and-effect and coordinated with fire detection and other building systems.
Zone activation, audibility, intelligibility where required, visual indicators, priorities, fault monitoring, standby power and interfaces.

The building type, city, approximate area and required system are enough to begin.
