Potter Electric PVX-150/12Z Voice Evacuation Panel 150W

Product Description

The POTTER ELECTRIC SIGNAL CO. US PVX-150/12Z is a voice evacuation panel rated at 150 watts with 12 speaker circuits, designed for life-safety mass notification and emergency voice communication systems. This panel serves as a central audio distribution hub, routing amplified voice and tone signals to speaker zones throughout a protected facility. It is installed and serviced by licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage contractors working to applicable life-safety codes. The 150-watt output and 12-circuit capacity make it suited for mid-to-large-scale installations requiring zoned audio coverage.

Typical installations include office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and other occupancies subject to NFPA 72 requirements for emergency communication systems. The 12 individual speaker circuits allow technicians to assign and control audio output by zone, supporting orderly evacuation signaling and selective paging across a building or campus.
