Fire Alarm Test #15 (With Fire Door Activation)

Test of a Simplex 4100 U system in a college library. When activated, the system drops out the locks on the emergency exit doors. I reset these seperatly once my partner reset the system.

[@Twentythree33]

Since when can you order an evacuation at McDonald's? The McSimplex! XD

[@DriftHyena]

Jeez what a sassy alarm

[@Sassylexx]

ScotchFox 😂😂

[@shaaaaaaam]

😭

[@kfc28371ify]

"Attention. Attention. ATTENTION!" Alright, you have my attention. Stop being so demanding! Geez. 😂

[@GaryBeltz]

Attention x3 seems to be the standard for most Simplex messages.

[@kfc28371ify]

+Gary Beltz Ah, okay. I was mostly referring to how demanding and harsh the voice sounded. Lol

[@melindah5764]

Attention Attention ATTENTION THERE IS A LOCKDOWN IN THE BUILDING. XD !!! WHO USES A FIRE ALARM TO ANNOUNCE A LOCKDOWN????!!!!

[@GaryBeltz]

Melinda Hall They are actually being called Mass Notification Systems now in fact in a new system in a new building or an upgrade you'll find that the speaker strobes have ALERT lettering instead of FIRE.

[@Bill-bj9fn]

Sounds like a 1st grade teacher during a fire drill

[@Bus293Fan]

Actually it sounds like a slight old woman

[@joeycaridi3030]

The evacuator spokesperson sounds like a realistic person

[@hilo2-est3-elev]

I think it is.

[@HarleyQuinn-sj3fi]

attention attention ATTENTION!! me: ok we all hear you. you don't have to yell. calm down lady. She sounds like a angry school teacher or principal. well in my opinion.

[@apetersenALT]

Usually, "Attention (x3)" is typical for most Simplex messages.

[@AutoUnder]

The final "ATTENTION!!" does sound odd

[@grantedklass777]

Harley Quinn yes

[@grantedklass777]

Harley Quinn Atlanta Atlanta Atlanta

[@blue.light.fazbear]

What a grumpy sounding announcement

[@Worces2000]

Alarm: Attention Attention Attention Me: Okay Okay we heard you the first time

[@jacobisworld9516]

Yea Lady You Don’t Have To Yell Attention Loud The Third Time We Can Hear You Loud And Good.

[@GaryBeltz]

I would hate to have to match the pattern on that floor/carpet lol

[@linuxnerd96]

I can't remember which video I saw but it used the same siren as this fire alarm does but it was a creepy man voice that said walk down to your assigned reentry floor or main lobby and then it said respond immediately. This one isn't as creepy but the siren sounds the same.

[@HarleyQuinn-sj3fi]

David Wingard except that it's a demanding lady saying the message.

[@NJMoo3652]

Awesome! You have the coolest job ever in my opinion

[@safetech]

+NJMoo3652 It has its pros and cons but I enjoy it. Thanks for viewing!

[@cnrailfan8000]

+SAFETECH what could be bad about this job?

[@safetech]

There's a lot of governing bodies and lots of different people you have to answer to depending on the type of facility being serviced. Also not to mention the troubleshooting that goes into rooting out problems with any given system that's not up to code or working properly.

[@cnrailfan8000]

+SAFETECH oh wow

[@SERSafety]

Awesome!

[@safetech]

+S.E.R. Safety (Grant Bansemer) Thanks for viewing!

[@TheyFw_HugoRoblox2014]

If you make fire alarms like and follow

[@Organham4903]

For anyone wondering, the door alarm is a 1st generation Von Duprin Chexit. For whatever reason it sounds like a gentex shg

[@a.a.industries607]

Interesting, but vicious sounding voice evac message. I've never heard a message like that.

[@iasirensandmore3868]

Door alarm sounds like a Gentex SHG

[@albertafirealarms2338]

Attention! Attention! Attention! An immediate evacuation of this building has been ordered. Please walk to the nearest stairway exit, and move to the dedicated outdoor assembly area. Do not use the elevators.

[@GaryBeltz]

I thought it said "Designated" instead of dedicated but I could be wrong

[@Twentythree33]

Attention! Attention! ATTENTION! An immediate Phil alert has been ordered. Please walk to the nearest ATM, and withdraw several $5 bills.

[@RinOtonashi]

You don't have to SHOUT at me!

[@apetersenALT]

Actually, that's a good thing. It convinces the occupants in the building to hear that message and eventually evacuate the building.

[@EnderShadowborne]

WHere are you right now?

[@corbincarter3026]

Yeah, that's right. If it was quiet, NO ONE can hear.

[@firealarm328]

Omg the last "attention" ugh annoying, but noticeable tho.

[@tpcshadow]

Is it?

[@0kay.lishaa200]

Attention attention attention Me:okey I heard you take a chill pill

[@MariaCabrera-ns9cm]

Aria Blaze95 thats what my teacher says! Take a chill pill

[@pyramidcinematics5401]

Good stuff!!! 💪💪💪

[@rydenmurphy4305]

Such a bossY fire alarm

[@ExitSign250]

Nice!

[@bradleyjohnson8536]

good job

[@mitchellorr3717]

that outside alarm sounds exactly like a Wheelock AS

[@Bus293Fan]

Attention, Attention, ATTENTION Me: alright, already I’ll just evacuate so that you can shut up XD

[@KyoRedBladeZR1]

How do you deal with the noise of certain alarms (i.e. Spectralert and TrueAlert )? You wear earplugs when conducting testing?

[@safetech]

Im pretty used to it for the most part but yes I carry earplugs for some of the louder environments I work in. Always a good idea.

[@KyoRedBladeZR1]

Good to know. For me its a little harder. When I was little, I would get freaked out when the alarms gone off, but I've adapted now. Is there like a volume limit standard that alarms have to follow?

[@safetech]

+KyoRedBladeZR1 it needs to be 15dB above the ambient noise level for the area

[@lynxgirl4268]

Don't say attention 3 times I HEARED YOU I'M NOT DEAF!!

[@josephfrye7342]

coolest alarm message ever was this brewed or just from the panel? :)

[@josephfrye7342]

I got some simplex voice evac messages but not the fire door noises.

[@jdrailfan5424]

Nice

[@mariavivianapaezcarvajal9774]

Emergency exit sounds like a gentex SHG continuous tone

[@GaryBeltz]

Did Gentex make the exit door alarms? In this video and in tornadofreak19994's two videos of his town's public library one where he conducted the test and the other where it went off while him and his father were in it the exit doors have this same alarm and they sound like the Gentex SHG horn

[@safetech]

Not sure their not our equipment.

[@EnderShadowborne]

No, this is a Von Duprin Chexit delayed egress crash bar, I want one though

[@TheCarson116]

I've known some Lowes to use blank white Gentex SHGs as emergency exit alarms (though I've also seen all-blue Commander 3s & even at least one blank white Commander used for the same purpose as well).

[@doggoofthebath5593]

The third attention really makes me uneasy

[@keithgreene8489]

Attention x3 an a mediate evacuation of this building has been ordered. Please walk to the nearest stairway exit, and move to the designated outdoor assembly area, DO NOT USE The elevators

[@Apollo55_]

"a mediate" 😂😂

[@rfbalagam7950]

Isn't this evacuation voice message played in these speakers part of Simplex Fire Alarms of a female version or a late released version message? I've never heard this message on a Simplex system before.

[@mikewolf5367]

is it me or in the middle of the third "Attention" the pitch changes in her voice? Also, can any alert appliance work with the voice alert, like other Simplex' or Whelens, or does it require a special voice model? I know some can be set to use whatever the FACP is set for.

[@safetech]

Any speaker UL listed to 110 volt range for fire alarm will suffice. Key work being SPEAKER not just any noise appliance. That is if you want to hear the voice message...

[@mikewolf5367]

Oh I see, so a Fire-Lite notification appliance can be used, but it has to be a speaker model and not a horn model? Cool.

[@safetech]

+Mike Wolf Yes except Fire-Lite doesn't make NA's.

[@GaryBeltz]

+Mike Wolf Her pitch does change at the last "Attention"

[@mikewolf5367]

Ok, so I'm not imagining it. Thanks.

[@joeycaridi3030]

The exit door alarm sounds like a Gentex Commander 3

[@hilo2-est3-elev]

To me it sounds more like a gentex shg

[@bethanystopa7170]

Angry fire alarm

[@firealarmsfromsouthtexas125]

Attention. Attention. ATTENTION!!!

[@EthanTheDarkDemon]

Those doors were screaming

[@gavinokunzsanchez6834]

The interesting question is that why do fire alarms talk.

[@tpcshadow]

I think this evacuation is a simplex.

[@corbincarter3026]

Yea

[@TrainDude-hk2xb]

What kind of buzzer does those emergency doors have?

[@GaryBeltz]

Why does it take 15 seconds before the door can be opened? that's what the sign says so I'm guessing it's correct but those 15 seconds could mean life or death if the place was filled with smoke and fire

[@safetech]

15 sec timers are pretty common on most fire doors as to prevent them from tripping if someone accidently knocks into it.

[@RJARRRPCGP]

+SAFETECH I thought it was an anti-shoplifting thing. Looks just like the door hardware at BestBuy, IIRC.

[@Organham4903]

Also, the delay is gone when the fire alarm sounds, that’s why the door alarm is going off

[@jackwilliamson54]

all schools should have these

[@marwanali9321]

jack williamson NO WAY!!🤬

[@kaitlynnandronaldvlogsandm6458]

Gee that fire alarm has a very bad Attitude 😒😑

[@EnderShadowborne]

Any idea what the brand and model of the door alarms are?

[@LasVegasEASPhoto8]

Bob Tramontana Gentex SHG

[@EnderShadowborne]

That's a horn strobe, not the door alarm! This oe SOUNDS like a Gentex SHG, but it's NOT, it's a door alarm!

[@EnderShadowborne]

I still need to know

[@EnderShadowborne]

Found out it’s a Von Duprin CX98EO(-F) alarm

[@braedendavis2]

cool

[@corbincarter3026]

I heard a Gentex SHG in the stairway.

[@GaryBeltz]

That's the exit door alarm

[@johnlassojr44]

Attention attention ATTENTION!

[@ThecarwashchannelofnorthernPA]

Do these newer systems have voice evac

[@safetech]

Did you watch the video & hear a voice message?

[@stevenramirezlovestheearth1802]

Attention attention attention at immediate evacuation of this building has been ordered. Please walk to the nearest stair way exit and move to the designate outdoor Assembly area. Do not use the elevator

[@vinnieversaci452]

why are there more speakers and not just all speaker strobes

[@safetech]

Vinnie Versaci NFPA 72 dictates said amounts of strobes for so many ft of area covered. Depending on the environment/floorplan that requirement may not correlate with what's required for the ambient dB range, therefore more speakers.

[@vinnieversaci452]

and how do you get a simplex voice evac on some setups just do the continuous slow whoop and no voice thats how my hospital is simplex speaker strobses no voice just continuous slow whoop

[@safetech]

Vinnie Versaci It's in the programming.

[@SimplexEAS2019]

Never heard this message before...

[@safetech]

+Hunter Cullen (ilovepolice1) Its a custom message the school uses.

[@GaryBeltz]

+SAFETECH I'm guessing after the message plays the third time it goes back to the slow whoop until it's silenced but your partner shut it off before it had a chance to do it? I never heard that female voice before did a college employee record it?

[@safetech]

+Gary Beltz Yes on the slow whoop part. As for the voice, Simplex has a database somewhere in our programing software of various voices to choose from. The message wording I believe can be customized.

[@SimplexEAS2019]

+SAFETECH It can, you have to check the programming manual.

[@elevatorsofamerica]

+SAFETECH what's the software name?

[@Goldenrod636]

Is the library inside of the college or its own separate building?

[@safetech]

Separate facility

[@josephfrye7342]

whoa was that a female voice this time? for that voice evac?

[@corbincarter3026]

Maybe.

[@alexandersalarms5380]

why is everyone talking about how the message sounds.. just stop.. its a message..

[@worldofbrandan]

Very unique voice evac message my towns elementary school has true alerts with voice evac the message is a female voice but its the same message as the male voice it says the same words as the male voice

[@GaryBeltz]

I take it you mean it has the Simplex default message which is "Attention, attention, attention! An emergency has been reported! All occupants walk to the nearest stairway exit and walk down to your assigned re-entry floor or main lobby. DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR! Walk to the nearest stairway. DO NOT USE THE ELEVATOR! Walk to the nearest stairway."

[@worldofbrandan]

Gary Beltz​ no not even close it says may I have your attention please may I have your attention please they has been a fire reported in the building please leave the building at the nearest exit.

[@worldofbrandan]

Gary Beltz The one you're talking about isn't even a Simplex message you are talking about a message used in roblox for a fake company called Teknikk they make fire alarms with that message only.

[@GaryBeltz]

SixR ah the Wheelock safe path message used on a Simplex system.

[@ReworkPro]

+SixR That message aint fake. Ive heard it in our local town hall. Dont bring your baby games to this.

[@edwinyuwenweng]

Seriously? A. Talking alarm

[@GaryBeltz]

+Super Kids HD They've been around since the late 80s or early 90s dude

[@firealarmveteran15]

Actually, I'd have to say they've been around since 1983 at the very latest. My LifeAlarm speaker was manufactured in June of that year.

[@firealarmveteran15]

*Sorry, let me rephrase that... I believe the earliest fire alarm speakers were made was, at the latest, 1983. I do believe that there were some voice evac systems that go back around the late 1970s, but don't quote me on that.

[@Emmisullivan14]

Why does the voice sound so weird?

[@SkateboardBoy466]

I like the male voice better

[@TheyFw_HugoRoblox2014]

Walk to the stairway

[@AndrooUK]

These recordings try too hard. Lots of pointless words/information. "Emergency. Evacuate now. Leave the building using the nearest exit or stairway. Do not use lifts." Bingo-boom-shaka-laka.

[@GaryBeltz]

It's up to the contractors and/or the people who ordered the system what message and tone they want to use. Wheelock has a similar message except it says "May I have your attention, please. An emergency has been reported in the building. While this is being verified please leave the building and report to the designated amergency area for your group!"

[@GaryBeltz]

Assembly area not emergency oops!

[@techflight8680]

Andrew Williams lol binga boom shacka-la

[@tpcshadow]

haha

[@EASsirenVids01]

For SAFETECH: The Message is so long and keeps looping. Why? For his viewers: The alarm finally goes off at 0:24! For SAFETECH: A Library? Read more

[@EASsirenVids01]

JK I got you! And also that Voice Evac message is very harsh!

[@alexandersalarms5380]
