Colledge Summer Camp Dorm Fire Alarm Event

So, I was at a summer camp at the University of Wisconsin and someone was cooking supper. Then, they sounded off the fire alarms by accident.

[@Georninja]

lmao they tried pulling the detector off themselves....That's a felony

[@randompersonFire]

That varies a lot from state to state. (contrary to popular belief.)

[@josephfrye7342]

Why not resetting the detector or get a smoke deflector? Or yet silence these alarms.

[@Georninja]

@@josephfrye7342 you can't do any of that, especially by yourself. At my University, you have to wait for University Police to show up before they can silence

[@josephfrye7342]

@@Georninja yeah but one problem it might take for these university zone cops or university police to arrive. but they are not fast enough to arrive.

[@cjelevators223]

It just put the system into trouble lol.

[@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign]

Such a odd system. Edwards Intergies and rare Federal Signal speaker strobes on a Simplex system doing a hi lo with a different message.

[@portlandrailfanproductions1155]

its the best system

[@clxdyy_]

It's not a different message; it's the default message that comes with a 4002.

[@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign]

@@clxdyy_ The 4002 doesn’t have a message at all. And the voice is different from the 4003.

[@josephfrye7342]

@@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign that is the ec version and this is why I’m not interested with this do not re enter the building term because it has to mention the elevator because of the hi rise or 2 story building.

[@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign]

@@josephfrye7342 the EC version has "Attention, Attention, this is a fire alarm, exit the building"

[@kingdomplayer6675]

What you’re seeing is a Federal Signal SPL 25 with a V1971. They are rare, yes

[@cjelevators223]

I'm aware. They have those and Simplex 4906-9251s all over campus. And the pull station in the start of the video is one on campus, too. Although, the elevator in this building did not go into fire service. They really need to fix that. This system is really quite an abomination as a Simplex mechanical/speaker strobe on the 3rd floor (idk which one) is mounted sideways on a double gang back box. It's also weird how they have Simplex, Federal Signal, & EST all in the same system.

@@cjelevators223 Before I got my Gentex GMS from Horace Mann, for some reason the alarm was placed sideways, not to mention the strobe was falling off

[@Ambroseweatherradioandmore]

My fire alarm system at my school has a lot of different alarm and the new addition has wheellock speaker shrubs and speakers and the message is a custom nofire (sorry about my bad spelling) message!

That would be UW-Stevens Point

Horn Strobes And Speaker Strobes Really.

[@josephfrye7342]

It has to be speaker strobe with voice evac or non voice evac hornstrobes.

[@jacobisworld9516]

@@josephfrye7342 why does it have horn strobes as well?

[@cjelevators223]

Don't know.

[@joeycaridi3030]

Epic fail! Mixed signals of horn strobes and speaker strobes because the sound of a System can't be mixed and must be uniform

[@user-Calebculwell]

Thats not a fail

[@FireAlarmGuy13]

What are you going on about? Mixed signals is not a fail, there is nothing in code about it

[@joeycaridi3030]

@@FireAlarmGuy13 I got that from watching fire alarm videos of Canadian Fire Alarm systems (like videos from NIC'S SYSTEMS AND ELECTRICS and Twentythree33 ) and that they say that you can't mix bells with horns because it will create confusion of the sound of and the appearance of the signals when they're mixed in a building as all the signals shoud be uniform in appearance and sound in Canada. (This may apply to mixing speakers with bells or mixing speakers with horns in Canada as well) A video proof explanation by Nic that mixed signals of bells and horns isn't allowed in Canada: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6fHoq2toLdno9U

Taking a smoke detector head off is tampering that angainst the law what they just did I wonder if they got in truble for it

[@cjelevators223]

The university police told them that they shouldn’t have done those actions. They thought that taking the detector off the base would turn off the alarms. But obviously, they didn’t turn off.

[@twiff3rino28]

@cjelevators223 Modern FACP's have sophisticated fault handling (trouble signals) when they detect things like open circuits - such as some retard ripping a detector out of the ceiling. Plus, the CPU in any FACP going back to the late 70s will latch an alarm state to active. Extra stupid if they think they can be engineers 😭
