Fire Inspection 11: Simplex 4100ES - Sounder Bases

[@seanjuth]

Good luck trying to wake up when there is a fire. It’s almost as if low frequency fire alarms don’t exist. Heck, even speaker strobes can be set to do low frequency tones at the same volume as horns.

[@msj191961]

Now you have to get even with your partner and activate it first next time before he can get to it! That looks like a pretty darn nice panel there. Probably quite a bit of money to install that system.

[@tor94]

msj191961 Yeah I do! and i dont doubt it, especially a retrofit system like this (used to be a conventional panel, not sure what though)

[@weatherdan882002]

Just a steady horn tone for the speakers? They could have at least coded it to code-3!

[@tor94]

weatherdan882002 I know right! Would have been better on the ears

[@pix3159]

Cool, do you think they replaced some of the wheelock e70 speaker strobes

[@TheJakeman789]

Looks like you did miss pulling it first lol

[@JMANWiSS]

How come during inspections/tests They always key activate it instead of just pulling/resetting? There aren't any glass rods being broken.

[@tor94]

JMAN123436 All these pull stations had break rods...

[@JMANWiSS]

Since when did Simplex pulls-any of the "Tbar" pulls- have glass break rods? I thought the only glass break option on simplex pulls were breakglass/hammer type. : www.allabandoned.com/no-mo-hi-ho-casino/payphones-for-daze/

[@tor94]

They have break rods... they are plastic, and just as annoying to replace since many locations dont have extras.

[@NJMoo3652]

+JMAN123436 they go inside the pull station. You can see them in the little hole under the tbar handle

[@GaryBeltz]

+JMAN123436 Sometimes they also have the handles and the area around the pull station covered with a substance that's invisible initially but if you get in on your hands the heat from your body makes it turn blue sometimes it also triggers by your sweat as well since they are going in not knowing it's safer to key activate them then have to reapply the ink

[@terrellstorms]

Do the room smokes only activate a supervisory? That's common down here.

[@tor94]

+Jacob Terrell For most of what i tested this past summer, yes, they activated as supervisories

[@GaryBeltz]

+tornadofreak1994 Sometimes the room smokes are on a delay timer like in the newer residence halls at IUP it's set up so that if your room smokes go off because you burned popcorn for example just your room goes off initially but if you don't get it stopped within 5 minutes it will set the entire alarm system off. I was told 5 minutes by the Residential Director but I doubt it actually waits that long.

[@GaryBeltz]

Is that a re-branded Simplex panel? The tone sounds like the one from your 4100ES dark video and the panel looks similar to the Simplex 4100u InfoAlarm panel that Voyage400 had.

[@tor94]

Gary Beltz No, it is a Simplex panel. Its a newer 4100ES. From what im told is thats an option for the panel, the LCD display.

[@tor94]

Gary Beltz Just realized I typed the wrong name in the title

[@ZakWolf]

+tornadofreak1994 That 4100ES LCD resembles the kind used on 4100U InfoALARM systems.

[@GaryBeltz]

+wileyk209zback It's probably the 4100ES version of the infoalarm like I said Voyage400 had one I don't know if he still does since he hasn't made fire alarm videos.

[@texasfiresafety]

was that a Wheelock MIZ mini horn i heard inside that room in the beginning?

[@tor94]

Not exactly. The smoke detectors in each room have a local piezo sounder built into the base.

[@MrTylerNicole1]

Perhaps my perception is wrong with low vision. But it seemed as if the alarm started sounding when you were barely touching the pull station at the beginning of the video. Was it set to be that sensitive?

[@SytenixRBX]

no, another one of his partners activated the alarm.

[@tor94]

@Sytenix Correct!

[@ExitSign250]

Wait a second, how did the system activate and you barely touch the pull? Is it a touchy one? Cool video by the way

[@tor94]

ExitSign250 No lol, my partner pulled it first on another floor

[@ExitSign250]

Oh gotcha, that makes more sense lol

[@markreyes997]

How many sounder base can 1 4100ES Panel activate?

[@SytenixRBX]

Hundreds

[@SafetySecurityAlert]

why did it activate before you opened the pull station?

[@tor94]

my coworker pulled it before me

[@SafetySecurityAlert]

oh so you were both going to pull it? or did you not know that he was doing it?

[@aliawais7357]

bro how to find duplicate smoke on 4100es? please reply and send your whatsapp if you could

[@tor94]

I thought I said I was going to, he must have thought I was taking too long.

[@aliawais7357]

tornadofreak1994 my whatsapp [phone]

[@bellum128]

Just like my dorm, but mines in Code 3

[@TheLegoDudeThendChannel]

What building is this

[@JMANWiSS]

No voice message?

[@tor94]

JMAN123436 Not this one... I have encountered a few like this

[@JMANWiSS]

Are the sounder bases the non voice evacuation tone heard in the video (sound like Wheelock horns)? Are they bases of smoke detectors?

[@tor94]

JMAN123436 There are two "steady" tones heard. the sounder bases are the "screechy" ones. And they are in the bases of the smoke detectors in each dorm room.

[@JaguarVideography]

were you supposed to pull it

[@kylelombardo912]

Damn😂 Lol
