across the school

perfect Lockdown Alert, Class Change, PA
and Synchronised Timekeeping solutions.
Our class change system is designed to be
as versatile as needed for your class change
schedule and communications. The accurate
timekeeping will keep your staff and pupils
on time for class changeovers and keep
them informed of any urgent events, such
as evacuations or invacuations / class
lockdown.
Synchronised Class Change and
PA System Features
With School safeguarding being a
prominent concern, Bodet’s Lockdown alert,
can support protecting your staff and
students by providing instant voice
messages and emergency alerts throughout
your network of speakers at the touch of a
button or via a smartphone app.
Customising alerts helps to distinguish
between different types of broadcasts, such
as emergency evacuations, fire alarms and
daily class changeovers. Choosing from a
great range of tones and melodies supports
meeting your school’s individual needs or
why not simply upload your own choice of
music.
Bodet’s PA System broadcasts customisable
messages to individual classes, rather than
communicating to multiple zones. Whether
a child or staff member is wanted, there is
no need to spend time walking around the
premises when the message can be sent
directly. Messages can be scheduled and
Our Harmonys Bell
System is easy to install
and runs across your IT
network using Power
Over Ethernet (POE) to
power the system. It can be triggered in
various ways allowing for different
circumstances and conveniences, such
as GSM signal, Harmonys Notify PC and
smartphone app, wired multi-button control
panel or wireless remote control.
The Harmonys Trio is a three-in-one
audio and visual device. As well as
communicating through bells, microphone
announcements and audio streaming, this
device also combines luminous strobes and
a time or text display. When sending out
your alert, these features ensure inclusion
for all. Pre-programming this message
ensures extra efficiency in an emergency
evacuation.

Bodet’s Melodys Bell System range is a
wireless solution which means no cabling
across equipment. This is an ideal choice

building status where installation of hardwired systems may be restricted. Similarly,
Melodys is a great option for larger premises
with separate classrooms and labs spread
out over a wide area and where hardwire
cabling can be impractical.

Class Change System:
• Able to control other systems such as
lighting and heating
• Able to synchronise with clocks

recordings
• Create schedules for specific areas of your
premises

Both the Harmonys and Melodys ranges
offer outdoor speakers, accounting for
outdoor lessons, playtimes and events.
Bodet’s Class Bell Systems will elevate your
school’s scheduling to be more efficient,
while allowing you to customise the bell
tones to suit your needs. Our system makes
it easy for you to notify your staff and pupils.
Incorporating our Lockdown system ensures
effective evacuation, keeping safety as a
priority.
Having the flexibility to zone your alerts
to different areas of your school means
that lesson time will not be unnecessarily
disrupted breaking up the flow of learning
time. For example, if you want to notify Key
Stage 1 or 2 children of their lunch break,
you can assign different bell tones to
different key stages.
