E2S Warning Signals creates lifeboat launch alert

E2S Warning Signals has designed and developed a bespoke siren system to alert people nearby when an RNLI lifeboat is launching.

The system produced by E2S has special software which produces an alarm tone combined with a voice message to alert anyone within the immediate surroundings about the launch.

The siren systems have been extensively tested at a number of locations in conjunction with local communities to ensure their appropriate effectiveness. The new sirens have now been installed at a number of lifeboat stations across the country.

A two-second attention-seeking alarm tone is followed by a pre-recorded voice warning to explain what it means and it aims to warn public on the sea front and nearby boating traffic to the impending launch. The sirens will routinely only be sounded between 7am and 10pm at any location.
