annunciators

Alert display devices

Annunciators are devices that announce or indicate something, typically through visual or audible signals.

In buildings, an annunciator panel displays which zone triggered a fire alarm.

In older telephone systems, annunciators showed which line was ringing.

The word covers any signaling device that calls attention to a condition requiring response: The annunciator lit up when pressure dropped in the tank.
