Alarm annunciator specialist Omniflex<\/a><\/strong> has launched its legacy alarm replacement consultancy service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the service, one of Omniflex\u2019s specialist engineers can visit your site to perform a free site survey and evaluate your existing obsolete and legacy alarm systems. They can then discuss the most suitable replacement options for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might seem like a common-sense approach to site safety to update alarm systems in line with technological advances and increasing regulations, but this isn\u2019t always the case. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many sites suffer from obsolescence issues, with many former alarm system providers no longer in business, sites have not yet upgraded the alarms that were initially installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Omniflex offers replacement alarm annunciator systems that are custom designed to fit into existing panel or desk space to provide a seamless replacement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Omniflex has launched its free consultation service to help plant managers looking to update their alarm annunciators while carefully considering obsolescence management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo often, when I visit sites, I see physical alarm annunciators that were installed decades ago still in use that aren\u2019t up to modern SIL-standards or supported anymore,\u201d explained Gary Bradshaw, director at Omniflex. \u201cOperator response times are an important part of the SIL-rating, so it\u2019s vital that alarms help operators act quickly in a crisis. By having a panel of windows permanently dedicated to specific processes, alarm annunciators improve user familiarity and increase their awareness when the window visually flashes and sounds an alarm.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe put you first, adopting your problems as our own to provide the best and most cost-effective replacement solutions for obsolete and legacy alarm annunciator systems. Once you have a quote from us, you can upgrade any or all your systems at your convenience to suit your business needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arguably, no industry is as highly regulated as the nuclear sector and there is none where mission-critical safety systems are more important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Omniflex\u2019s range of alarm annunciators are substantiated by EMPHASIS for use in SIL applications in the nuclear industry and it is now the standard approved supplier of SIL-rated alarm annunciators for the UK\u2019s nuclear industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
