DRILL DAY!!! (why does my school start so early) We had all three of the main drills today so that was quite fun. Uhh not much to say about the lockdown and tornado drills other than they were boring, and I’m surprised the alarms didn’t go off during the tornado drill. I’m guessing it’s saved for like a real situation. But onto the fire drill!
First of all, the Siemens SETs? Those are some of the most quiet alarms I’ve ever heard in my life, considering these are the first speaker/strobes I’ve ever heard in my life. I understand why they are found in bathrooms and small conference rooms due to the intensity of noise. I expected all the alarms to be louder but they might’ve been on 2 or 4 watts instead (not sure what the default setting for these are but it’s probably 2 or something). The only alarms I heard were ceiling mount so I’m unsure if the wall mount alarms are louder or not, considering they’re uncommon and spaced out a lot more.
I noticed that the weatherproof SETs outside didn’t have their strobes going off but this was the first drill/test these went off so idk. I don’t know if the speakers were sounding though, but i could faintly hear one on the greenhouse roof of the new extension.
For anyone wondering about the voice evac message, it’s the same one as in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcr6H0baKl4 this video. The code-3 tone loops weirdly so I assume the whole message plus the tones are recorded.
So uhh yeah, fun day… next up: the false alarm and burnt food activations 
note: all strobes and speakers were in sync which is very satisfying. the previous simplex system? can’t say the same…
