Fire Alarm at the Westin Pittsburgh

Put on standby before evac tone was sounded. I got to the ground floor and the alarms were shut off...

[@MRIDNETGUY2004]

Those speakers honestly sound really good.

All Wanted Levels Verison And There Fire Alarms And There Having Bell Test And Inception And There Code 3 Voice And Whoop And AA Scream And There Combined

[@Italian-h1n]

The code 3 stage 1 low frequency tone is interesting. I have never heard a simplex play that pitch tone. This is a dual stage setup. It is a simplex system (probably a 4100u or 4100es) with life alarm and truealert ceiling mount speaker strobes. Possibly some other truealert models but mostly life alarms. Slow Whoop seems more digitized. Pretty cool system though.

[@zachzebra56]

That code 3 tone is the same pitch as EST's code 3 on their speaker/voice evac systems. Normally, simplex is usually a bit higher pitched.

[@Italian-h1n]

@@zachzebra56 yeah! So it could be an EST tone on a Simplex system

[@zachzebra56]

@@Italian-h1n I never heard that pitch tone on a simplex panel. Kinda odd.

[@Forzakid-js5qu]

No imagine a spec alert advance!

[@boredreindeer5602]

I was at a hotel in which I don’t remember the name, the alarms went off early in the morning (at like 8 or 9), those advances kept flashing for at least maybe an hour, we never had to leave and it was just caused by a glitch while maintenance was working on the electric system.

[@Editorum]

That happened to me in my apartment at October 27th 2018 at 1 am

[@gianni1940]

Now if this did help you in one way like for instance see you wake up at 6:30 AM, and out of nowhere the fire alarm just goes off at 6:30 AM, that just woke you up maybe the alarm on your phone probably didn’t go off when it was supposed to and you were really screwed because you probably had something to do later on, but the fire alarm was triggered when really what should’ve gone off was your phone.

[@fastcsx1412]

The fire alarm went off at the Hotel Roanoke and it was during a Volvo truck event.

[@weatherdan882002]

So the "standby" tone is code-3, but the "evac" tone is the slow whoop?

[@FireTech7]

I think it's a 4100U that's probably why it does that

[@weatherdan882002]

@@FireTech7 Nevertheless, it's very confusing. If they want to use the slow whoop tone as the evacuation tone, they need to either fix the horn tone so that it beeps only once every few seconds, or change it to the chime tone with the same cadence.

[@FireTech7]

@EthanBlaisAlarms It's a 4100U

[@Wolf_IT]

@@FireTech7 Can I ask how you know this for sure? And yes, the system installed doesn't have anything to do with the building size per se. But a newer/larger building from my experience is more likely to have been upgraded to or have a 4100ES installed since it superseded the 4100U back in 2010, supports a bit more points and is specifically designed for large building to whole campus installations in the modern Simplex lineup. Especially with in-place upgrades being not that difficult with Simplex panels, the burden of panel upgrades are nothing now a days, so I have seen numerous 4100U and even older setups rolled up to an ES. It's one of those things where it's not always true, but typically isn't a completely off base thing to guess.

[@randompersonFire]

@@alexandersalarms5380 Since this appears to be a "local alarm" system, there's unfortunately a possible loophole in Pennsylvania's law. (however, it's not a definite loophole unlike some other states such as Illinois and Georgia. And no, it's not a federal offense in any case, contrary to semi-popular belief.) Here's the provision in 18 PA CS 4905: "A person commits an offense if he knowingly causes a false alarm of fire or other emergency to be transmitted to or within any organization, official or volunteer, for dealing with emergencies involving danger to life or property." The question for the judge/jury would be: does a team of private security guards (whether in-house or contracted to someone like AlliedUniversal or Securitas) count as such an organization? I think they count, since the law does not appear to limit the definition to government agencies. If convicted, the offense is a first-degree misdemeanor, which means up to 5 years in jail and a $10,000 fine.
