A supplier drew attention to the multi-sound module (MSM) from miunske®. With the MSM, acoustic signals and even voice messages can be reproduced very clearly in the vehicle cabin,, so that they can still be clearly recognized even in the case of high noise levels and poor visibility.

Even the MSM without a CAN interface can play back up to eight signals from a library of 80 standard sounds at four different volumes. The version with CAN interface even enables the parameterization of up to 50 different signals/voice messages as well as stepless volume control. This aroused the interest of the ZIEGLER development team.

So they asked miunske for a starter kit and tested the multi-sound module in various fire engines. Due to the high flexibility in the design of the CAN interface, the MSM could be easily integrated into the vehicle CAN of Albert Ziegler GmbH. And the installation location in the airfield fire engine could also be chosen very flexibly. ZIEGLER decided to integrate it in the footwell of the driver’s cab, below the dashboard.

In the test, the MSM significantly improved the acoustic perception of important system sounds (indicator sounds, messages about the status of the extinguishing system) in the vehicle cabin – and thus ensures a significant increase in operating safety.

Aufgrund der positiven Testerfahrung mit dem von miunske zur Verfügung gestellten Starter-Kit, entschloss sich ZIEGLER das MSM in die komplette Serie der Flugfeldlöschfahrzeuge Z4, Z6 und Z8 zu integrieren.
Mit dem Kauf stellt miunske dem ZIEGLER-Entwicklerteam auch die kostenlose Parametrieroberfläche miunske-toolchain zur Verfügung. This allows ZIEGLER to individually adapt the signaling to its own needs.
