Fire Alarm Test #14

Test of a Simplex 4100U voice system on a college campus. Once I activate the alarm my partner at the panel quickly silences it & we then begin speaker testing with my partner "keying" the mic at the panel every 10 sec or so while I walk the floors.

[@CJWJR]

Now, why can't all fire alarms be this quiet?!...especially alarms in quiet places such as offices or schools!

[@lackedpuppet9022]

For the record, school are not quiet, they're quite violent.

[@randomhobbiest5562]

Dude what if there is allot of people then no one will here it

[@Oof-zl6lt]

@@randomhobbiest5562 well, at least there are strobes...

[@LogicDoesStuff]

@@Oof-zl6lt If a lot of people are so loud and aren't paying attention, they won't be able to know if there is a fire.

[@MrWill1985]

I definitely wish elementary schools had fire alarms this quiet. But middle and high schools it's not as necessary but I prefer speakers in middle and high schools.

[@EndeavorsDnB]

Tht fire alarm really wants to make an answer mr. trebek

[@Bothomas-vm5hz]

funny coincidence the hotel i used to work for 3 years ago had their system upgraded to the voice system, prior to the modification they used to have a mixtures of old simplex 2001 and 4903-9217 horns all in continuous mode these were super loud

[@Goldenrod636]

I always found it strange that you could talk through a fire alarm like a PA system but they are speakers so of course its possible.

[@SERSafety]

Nice!

[@EverydayExitSign]

I'm sorry, I love simplex, I wanna be like you some day :)

[@safetech]

Thanks for viewing!

[@brandongomez7836]

hey Safetech when you get downstairs I can almost hear the Wheelock AS

[@deatheye_9764]

I like EST better

[@BlueThunderboltsiren]

@@safetech pls tell me, is there any college/school degrees you need to do that stuff? This job looks fun

[@legoastronaut9775]

Guys you don’t make a lot of money from this

[@LethaWolfStudios]

I've always wanted to pull a fire alarm but you know I don't really want the consequences of doing it

[@idkanymore9590]

Well if you’re qualified to do it for a test or drill, or if there’s an actual fire, then it’s perfectly fine. If you just pull it for no valid reason, such as a prank, then obviously you would get in trouble.

[@HawkinsWX]

Love the ding

[@RaceGaming-gw5se]

Nice sound

[@josephfrye7342]

these speaker strobes are our favorite.

[@volgenaut1318]

Wish my middle school fire alarm was that pleasant instead a kid went deaf from our fire alarm

[@RaceGaming-gw5se]

NBKx_W4R WHY HORNS WHHHHY

[@volgenaut1318]

Cause my fire alarm sounds like a bunch of 5 year olds screaming and crying mixed with dupstep

[@Bill-bj9fn]

Yeah, horns suck. I used to sit right in front of one in my elementary school, and when they would test it my ears would bleed.

[@schwenda3727]

Joshua S. Jesus fucking christ... going deaf or bleeding from the ears because of an alarm?! This was among my greatest fears in elementary school, especially since just about ALL the schools I've been in had the horns INSIDE the classroom...

[@american0153]

nice video!

[@peanutmwo6001]

i heard a Wheelock AS in the background

[@midnightclubshow4332]

1:00 thumbs up if you heard a Wheelock AS or MT

[@re-jn7nw]

It’s probably from outside. It was an MT that was for outside use.

[@planesofhawaii]

When there was the announcement, was there a setting to have a voice annoucement on the alarms?

[@doggoofthebath5593]

You key (push) the mic after pushing all speakers talk. Then after the chime you can talk through it.

[@planesofhawaii]

This is my local malls alarm when they test it but they never announce it

[@STR2K6-2]

simplex 4100u system with simplex 4903-9219 speaker strobe version

[@Simplexkid1447]

There’s a simplex true alert that’s like the same but then it says Code red for any hall

[@joshuawilson8244]

are the strobes synchronized

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

These devices are free run, so no. These are 9146s and they are free run only. The 9301 is the sync version. The 9150 is a selectable version.

[@Ericlovestrains]

Why does it change tones?

[@patrickstewart4715]

the alarms sound nice. why?

[@michaelgatien4277]

it's like 2 "C" tonal chimes :D lol

[@steviebauer386]

Question why do you guy have to do the mic why cant you leave the signals going the whole time

[@safetech]

It's a quicker way to check both the signal & mic simultaneously. Also isn't as annoying for any of the occupants.

[@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440]

What are those 4903 i not sure if there 9219s or speakers

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

Speakers most definitely. These don't seem all that bright, so my guess is that these are 9146s.

[@nspce7017]

when is fire alarm test

[@thegreatpineapple2076]

Are older speaker up to code

[@FireRescue80]

They're ADA. So yes.

[@gagoosh66]

Did anyone hear an AS or an MT?

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

Yes

[@sarahspindler2914]

I go to this college

[@kalebedwards3177]

hi

[@GaryBeltz]

Why didn't the MT silence with the rest of the system?

[@safetech]

+Gary Beltz its programmed to do so in the system most likley for purposes of alerting everyone outside of an alarm situation in the building and not to enter.

[@lalitovega4731]

***** it's sounds like a bell

[@safetech]

It's not programmed to do so.

[@adamcarterfavorites6971]

I hear ether a Wheelock AS or MT on Code 3

[@safetech]

It's an MT horn only

[@alexlowery3192]

me two

[@GaryBeltz]

What does the system normally do when in alarm it sounds like it does march time tone when you first pull it and does it have a message?

[@ghostretroplays2647]

+SAFETECH what's that ding noise at 0:54

[@planesofhawaii]

What siren is this?

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

The devices are speaker strobes

Will The Blue Angels and other Military aircraft Flyover American Secondary Schools Colleges and Universities OUSD Job Training Centers DeFremery School Santa Fe School Recreational Centers For These Drills?No or Yes, Not Until 2021 due to COVID

[@american0153]

I can hear a Wheelock NS or a Wheelock AS near the beginning

[@GaryBeltz]

It's at the end too it's probably a set of outdoor horn strobes that are programmed to keep going until the system is reset.

[@philipd2187]

:D

[@maccanning2532]

What tone is this ?

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

Code 3 tone
