The Elemec3 is a digitally controlled public address and general alarm system (PA/GA) by Hubbell GAI-Tronics. Designed principally for life-critical installations in the oil and gas market, it is suitable for many industrial communications requirements.

The Elemec3 high-integrity public address and alarm system is commonly used on oil and gas platforms, FPSOs, power stations, oil refineries, chemical plants and industrial complexes worldwide to ensure the safety of personnel.

The equipment is specifically and fundamentally designed for failsafe operation, with extensive system and fault status monitoring to ensure maximum availability at all times. In addition to general paging and emergency broadcasts, alarms can be automatically initiated via a common interface with fire and gas and emergency shutdown systems.

All cabinet internal connections are on a plug / socket basis for ease of installation and maintenance. The modular design ensures minimum spares holding is required to support the systems, all of which are standard of the shelf units. System expansion is easily achieved by simply adding more modules and reconfiguring the system software accordingly.
