Know Your Omni16 abc's
The Omni16 Alarm Annunciator was introduced in 1981 and was the world’s first alarm annunciator to use solid-state LED technology for it's display. At the time the company was known as Conlog with the annunciator being distributed in the UK via Bowthorpe Controls and McGeoch. This highly successful product line, which boasted the worlds first microprocessor based annunciator, continues to lead innovation in this product sector for over 35 years.
A number of major product upgrades have been released over the years, with each upgrade superseding the previous version. Each new version is designed to be largely backward compatible with previous versions, but due to continuous improvement of the product, there are feature differences that need to be taken into account when upgrading and installing. The current version is the Omni16C, The Omni16C is the worlds first 'SMART' alarm annunciator to be emphasis assessed for use in the Nuclear Industry and replaces the Omni16, Omni16a, and Omni16b.
