ABSTRACT:
A speaking fire alarm system for not only giving an alarm in voice on an occurrence of a fire but also providing some information necessary for coping with the situations. The system includes a temperature sensor for sensing a surrounding temperature and providing a voltage responsive to the temperature sensed, comparator means for comparing the voltage supplied from the temperature sensor with a reference voltage and thereby providing a logic signal in accordance with its comparison, a central processing unit for receiving the logic signal from the buffer, thereby deciding the occurrence of the fire and providing both a fire alarm signal and message data according to an emergent situation, a voice synthesizer for providing address signals in accordance with the message data supplied from the central processing unit and also providing quantized voice messages which are synthesized from voice data received, voice memory for providing again to the voice synthesizer the voice data which is in advance stored in adequate format responsive to the address signals supplied from the voice synthesizer, voice output amplifying means for receiving the quantized voice messages supplied from the voice synthesizer for reshaping to smooth waveforms and amplifying to an adequate level, a host computer having a control program for controlling a plurality of slave fire control systems which are coupled to the host computer itself for detecting the fire alarm signal from each central processing unit and providing the fire alarm signal to remaining slave fire alarm systems.
