Simplex 4003 All Tones, Codings, and Messages

[@NortelGeek]

6:25 sounds just like what my high school used for it's "end of period/block" sound. I remember messing around in typing class (Easy credit. Teacher let me do whatever) and making 4x440Hz tones in Audacity and then fading each one out at 1x1s. It sounded IDENTICAL. Well, about 5 minutes before class was up, I turned the volume all the way up and let 'er rip. Everyone started to leave and then someone said: "There's no one outside." Confusion ensued. Laughs were had. Another time, I used Audacity to emulate the N. American ringback signal. For some reason, the teacher thought that it was their desk phone ringing. :)

[@SWMOWoodsman]

The discontinuous bell tone was the tornado warning tone for the elementary school I went to. It also played the continuous bell tone for fire drills.

My work was having a EVAC system when the renovated the building they added a brand new Simplex system

[@armani3065]

Probaly A 4100 U Or ES Model

[@JaxC1216]

To recreate a two-stage fire alarm: 2:43 would be the pre-alert tone, which would sound when a pull station is activated or the drill button was pushed. After three minutes, or when a smoke detector detects fire, then the system would go into full alarm, as in the tone at 3:06, and the message at 4:07.

5:31 500Hz Bell on Code 3 again! I love it!

[@armani3065]

Hey, One Of the Tones on here at 3:06 are seen in one of SAFETECH"S Hospital Vids... A Child Care Facility In Illinois(Name Not disclosed Due to State's Regulations), has this Same tone, With A SAFEPATH Voice Message. From Simplex Though

[@FEDERALSIGNALTECH]

I've seen one of those panels in the presbyterian hospital in Pittsburgh pa it was a SIMPLEX 4100UES with the current version of the voice evacuation message and it went off for condition M alert but I don't know what condition M is my guess is the condition M alert is for medical emergency but I'm not sure. But it was cool to see and hear. The hospital is a part of UPMC witch I forgotten to mention.

[@ElevatingArizonaByGageWilliams]

3:39 my favorite

[@MacombSignals27]

I’ve been wondering for years where you got these audios from, were they from a website?

[@MichanaAlerting]

I think he had an actual 4003 and put a mic up to a speaker connected to it's output

[@TheDeltadodge]

I love the slow low high whoop!

[@futurealarms121]

Tech Cooker 5 He will continue to make system test videos. Just no where near as often as he used to. And he will no longer make major changes to the system as you said.

[@jakeh161]

Brenden White I think I already know that.

[@josephfrye7342]

phew thank god you found the older versions of 4003 messages.

[@josephfrye7342]

there is a newer version which it is upgraded.

[@FireAlarmTech7.]

Have you heard of the simplex 4003ec?

[@NewAgeServerAlarm]

Yep. It's identical to the Wheelock Safepath.

[@FireAlarmTech7.]

Did simplex borrow the design?

[@NewAgeServerAlarm]

Rebranded.

[@ZakWolf]

Yes, the 4003EC is pretty much the Wheelock Safepath but with the Simplex alert tones.

[@ticky2586]

1:56 that's the one at our school

[@MichanaAlerting]

Lucky

[@ticky2586]

@@MichanaAlerting not anymore, they sadly changed it to a newer one, but I liked that one

[@MichanaAlerting]

​@@ticky2586 Is it still a slow whoop though?

[@ticky2586]

@@MichanaAlerting No, it’s still simplex but it’s like a faster continuous whoop

[@MichanaAlerting]

@@ticky2586 Probably a panel upgrade then, you have a 4100U or 4100ES

[@tractyzadorozny2972]

The second tone sounded like an alarm clock

[@ElevatingArizonaByGageWilliams]

5:42 grandpa voice 👴🏼👴🏼👴🏼

[@lagtorro3225]

Simplex in a nutshell.

[@mr.dolphin_muzzle]

I have your attention please may I have your attention please a fire reported a fire has reported reported in the building please walk to the nearest exit and do not use the elevators

[@mr.dolphin_muzzle]

my school has a system senser

[@MRIDNETGUY2004]

The quality of the speaker sounds like a toy speaker

[@MRIDNETGUY2004]

Nope the truealert ES speaker strobes, sound the best..

[@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign]

@@MRIDNETGUY2004 I agree with that.

[@FireRescue80]

The time at 5:31 makes a good voice evac message if you were to loop it.

[@HeadsetGuy]

The high school I went to has an intercom and alarm system that must've been designed by Simplex (like the fire alarms). During a tornado drill one year, they used the more well-known Simplex voice evacuation (slow whoop, followed by the "Attention, attention, attention, an emergency has been reported," etc.), and during a code red (lockdown) drill the same year, they used something I had never heard before: a tone similar to the one at 3:06, followed by a voice message: "Attention, attention, attention. A code red has occurred. All occupants shall shelter in place and await further instructions. Do not enter or exit the building at this time." Then it repeated the message one more time, played the tone again, message twice, and so on until the drill was over.

[@Rodj12341]

Might have been a 4003EC

[@HeadsetGuy]

I wish I could find out more about that, but there are no videos of it on KZbin.

[@Rodj12341]

Look at the datasheet of the 4003EC

[@HeadsetGuy]

Okay, I looked, and I don't think it was a 4003EC. I didn't see that message in there, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't a custom-recorded message.

[@Rodj12341]

Nvm what I said, it cannot be a 4003 (4003 AND 4003EC due to the emergency message, must be a voice bay on the panel (4010, 4010ES, 4100U, 4100ES). I'm pretty sure that was a message on the built in voice bay on that panel.

[@MrTylerNicole1]

I’m not sure if many voice panels have this. But one of my classmates who is sensitive to noise thinks during a fire drill, the panel should be programmed to play a “This is a test of the building fire alarm system. This is only a test” message or a drill message instead of the alert tone that precedes the attention message. Then when the drill is complete they can switch it back to one of the alert tones. But I don’t think it’s the best idea. If you want to know how to respond effectively in a fire, you have to become familiar with the warning tones so you know what it means in real life and how to respond correctly. That’s the purpose of a fire drill-becoming familiar with warning signals and knowing how to respond. Anybody else agree?

[@Soccerdude7330Official]

How did you change all of those? IIRC, mine only has two tone options

[@HeadsetGuy]

Wow. It actually has a recording of a bell?

[@otisman1000]

I would assume so, doesn't sound high quality but it's there

[@TheBagman99]

What is the d45 code on the splitter?

[@dantestoner6020]

Have you heard of the simplex truealertES

[@NewAgeServerAlarm]

Yep. They're addressable devices that are supposedly "self-testing" actually containing a microphone and a light sensor. Rather unique.

[@trainerred2063]

When did the 4003 come out?

[@trainerred2063]

Also can you play any signal coding with the evacuation message?

[@Soccerdude7330Official]

sometime in the 90's. I have one, it has a DOM of 1996.

[@CODMarioWarfare]

No classic "Do not use the elevators" message?

[@Rodj12341]

Only on the Evac bay on 4100U, 4100, 4100ES, and I believe the 4010ES

[@FireAlarmTech7.]

And 4120

[@MichanaAlerting]

​@@FireAlarmTech7. The 4120 is just a 4100+ with a network card installed from the factory

[@erikthepirate8068]

I like the one at 0:15.

[@Cecnorthernohio]

Erik the Pirate sounds like my middle schoop fire alarm

[@erikthepirate8068]

@Nevan Newaz's Gaming, Vloggs & more To me It sound like a Simplex Bell Test by towplyboy.

[@Rodj12341]

What about the 4003EC?

[@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign]

the Simplex 4003EC is basically a Wheelock Safepath but with simplex tones and messages. Not to many people have those panels since there not common. I would like to get my hands on one of those in the future. If not I can just buy a Safepath 4 and get some parts for the Simplex 4003EC (like tone generator and voice card) and make a make shift 4003EC.

[@erikthepirate8068]

I Like 500Hz on Code 3 better.

[@jakeh161]

From the field or at home?

[@NewAgeServerAlarm]

At home.

[@jakeh161]

***** ok, just asking. lol

[@lilrags16]

***** you got a 4003?!?!?!?!

[@lilrags16]

***** also is this why system test 3 is been forever.....

[@jakeh161]

lilrags16 I'm sorry to say this but he won't be making any more system tests, so that means no system test 3 unfortunetly... but he'll be making more mini system test videos though
