Fire Alarm Test at the Office

The yearly fire inspection was being done by Fox Valley at my office and the inspectors allowed me to pull the alarm for the bell test! It is a short shaky cam video, mainly because I had to return to work. The AVs are SpectrAlert Advances that are (unfortunately) all set to high volume.........

Ive been in a hospital during alarm tearing testing that had L-Series horn/strobes that wasn’t in sync. It’s a hospital so they supposed to be synchronized CHIMES.

The fire alarm equivalent to the Simplex 4090 6" school bell!

[@GaryBeltz]

What is the little bell for that I see when you show the outside horn strobe at the end of the video?

[@tor94]

That is for the fire sprinklers. It activates when water flow is detected within the structure

Probably cause it’s full of water. Those outdoor horns strobes are junk. System sensor is cheap junk. That’s why in most places especially newer it’s always system sensor. Cause it’s so cheap.

@@TheJakeman789 What does the height have to do with that

[@thefuturefrontierpilot75]

No, it’s one because it’s on low volume, and two they used a P2R (indoor advance) the outdoor advance P2/4R(H)K is VERY good at staying in good condition, some installed over 7 years ago and they look like they were installed yesterday..

code violation... Alarms need to be in sync

[@zenospeed_345]

It’s OK for the horns to not be in sync. Although, not recommended. However, if the strobes are not synchronized, that is a code violation as it may cause people with epilepsy to encounter seizures, and altogether is just unsafe for people trying to evacuate the building.
