Wheelock offers a variety of computer-based tools to assist the design and installation of fire alarm, voice evacuation and facility communications systems. Among these tools is NACTool, which enables users to build NAC circuits using the company’s notification appliances. The program calculates the number of appliances per circuit, as well as the total length and wire gauge, percentage of voltage drop and speaker wattage. It also provides the capacity to print out material inventories.
In addition, Wheelock’s NACEVAC design tool aids designers and installers by providing a method for configuring and calculating audio, fire and emergency evacuation systems on computers.
