<p>A system (10) for identifying the location of a fire extinguisher (16) includes a fire detector (14) with a wireless transmitter (22). When the detector (14) goes into alarm, it not only emits a local audible alarm, it also transmits wirelessly a signal (S) receivable by a fire extinguisher locator unit. The unit includes a receiver (18) and a circuitry for detecting the received alarm indicating signal. It also includes audible output circuit (30), for example, speech synthesis circuit (30), and optionally, an optical indicator (32). Upon detection at the unit of the alarm indicating signal, the speech synthesizing circuitry (30) can be activated to indicate verbally the location of the extinguisher (16). Simultaneously, the illuminatable output device (32), such as light bulb (32) or light emitting diode (32), can be energized to provide a visual indication of extinguisher location.</p> |
