Jeron Pro-Alert™ Area of Rescue (AOR) System is the Sole AOR System to be Listed by Underwriters Laboratories Under the UL2525 Standard

NILES, Ill. - June 15, 2023 - PRLog -- Jeron Electronic Systems' Pro-Alert 480 Area of Rescue System provides lifesaving alerting and communications during a building fire or evacuation.  Jeron is proud to announce that the Pro-Alert 480 system is the first and only system listed by Underwriters Laboratories under the new UL2525 Standard.  Underwriters Laboratories is the only NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories) listed by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) as recognized to test to the UL2525 Standard (www.osha.gov/nationally-recognized-testing-laboratory-program/ul).  This rigorous testing by the independent Underwriters Laboratories and acceptance by OSHA assures that the Pro-Alert 480 system will always be available and operational during an emergency situation.

During an emergency, when a building occupant can't evacuate on their own, they will go to an area of refuge location and utilize the Pro-Alert 480 system to alert frontline workers of their location with direct communication.  If the AOR system is not monitored locally, the Pro-Alert 480 system automatically routes the emergency call to an off-site location through an automated phone call.

National Fire Alarm Code requires area of rescue locations to support both alerting and two-way communications.  The 'area of rescue' is typically located in elevator lobbies/stairwells in high-rise, mixed use, commercial and hospitality facilities.  The new UL2525 Listing for Area of Rescue Assistance is being adopted across the U.S. as fire marshals and Authorities Having Jurisdiction understand the importance of these lifesaving systems. The Pro-Alert 480 System is the first system to be UL2525 Listed by Underwriters Laboratories.

In addition, the International Building Code 1009.6 indicates that all new buildings require an area of rescue if the building does not provide a means of egress for disabled individuals. Jeron provides the Pro-Alert 480 which is field programmable, fully supervised, utilizes standard category cable, and is designed and built in the U.S.

The Pro-Alert 480 Area of Rescue Assistance System includes:

• Fully supervised, two-way communication and automatic offsite calling
• An installer and technician friendly system with field programming and minimal wiring
• Fulfillment of NFPA 72, ADA, and IBC Standards, while also complying with the new UL2525 Standard

Jeron has both virtual and in-person demonstration options from their Technology Center at their corporate office. In addition, for existing customers, virtual or live in-service education is also available, providing information regarding new product enhancements and details about this new UL2525 Standard.
