System Overview WiLAS Installation & User Guide... - Page 6 WiLAS is installed. This not only dramatically improves design flexibility and dramatically lowers response times , it also removes inherent points of failure (such as centralised power and control cables which, if damaged, could render the entire system useless) as well as lowers the costs of installation.
- Page 7 Figure 1 illustrates how a WiLAS system can be deployed in a typical multi-building campus site, and how activation signals are propagated through the network via multiple pathways. This ability to automatically create multiple pathways makes WiLAS highly resilient, providing redundant signal pathways in the event of radio interference, or hardware failures resulting from faults, vandalism or malicious attacks.

Page 12: Wilas Remote Control Functions
2.1 WiLAS Remote Control Functions The WiLAS System allows authorised personnel to activate three different warning alerts via the handheld remote control or fixed panels illustrated in figure 2. When activated, each alert comprises a distinctive siren tone followed by a verbal announcement detailed in Table 1. Optional colour-coded visual warning beacon light systems are also activated simultaneously. -
Page 13: Alarm Activation
To minimise noise pollution, all alerts automatically de-activate after 10 minutes of continuous activation. When a Remote or Fixed Control Panel transmits a message, all other activation controls will be ignored by the network for approximately 10 seconds after the transmission.

Please read the WiLAS System User Operations Guide thoroughly before commencing installation Your WiLAS system has been preconfigured prior to shipment. One Control Station is configured as a “Master” Control Station, all others being configured as “Slave” Control Stations. Similarly, one WiLAS Remote Control (or fixed Control panel) is configured as a “Master”... -
