Departmental and local alarms

A hazard situation caused by the boiler or a chemical danger arising in the department from e.g. chlorine (ClO2) or hydrogen sulphide (H2S) can trigger a departmental alarm. The alarm is given by a sound signal indoors and blinking red lights outside above the doors prohibiting entering.

At points where the measurement of hydrogen sulphide content is fixed in place, a local alarm may be triggered, in which case the blinking signal light at the measuring place blinks and an alarm sound. In all of the above situations everyone should exit the area immediately and contact the monitory room. Using elevator is forbidden in all kind of alarm!
