Interesting / Unusual Alarm System Vids

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvbghGDk2z0 Simplex 9219s in Code-3

Those are speaker/strobes.

Crap I posted a link to the wrong video. >_< Ignore that.

Seems EST has a pretty wide selection of tones for their EVAC systems, here’s one doing a T3 that sounds like either an old squealer (EM) smoke or a low sample rate recording of Wheelock MT set to Code-3 Tone. Starts at 2:04 as the FFs are entering the building. The signals are ceiling-mount Genesis speaker strobes. You’ll also hear some apt. smokes doing T3.

This airsofter pulls the fire alarm with his gear! What a fail!

(When I tried to embed it it just showed a white square. :? )

It looks like those are 4903-9215’s with 2099-9101’s

That is a cool video!

Wheelock 34T and System Sensor MASS

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9cB8ojxB_0 Rather Rare: Wheelock vertical-strobe MTs set to Slow Whoop. The first 2 seem to be in sync pretty well, but once he gets to the Old Navy area you can hear others not synched very well.

9806s and I think an AS.

I feel the slow whoop tone is one of the only tones that can get extremely annoying when it is out of sync.

I think what you thought was an AS was actually a SpectrAlert Advance (in continuous, ouch!).

Wheelock 7001Ts instead of 7002Ts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adgb2jXITBM - Fire safety drill at a school with a briefly seen Edwards 895B horn/strobe. There is a blocked exit, and the fire department is involved.

Simplex 9838s that sound like 9219s.

A student helping out with their school’s fire drill. The signals are extremely rare ‐ old‐style Federal Vibratone 450’s behind flush plates.

The alarms in the above video sound like a continuous version of the 7002.

  • This is a video from a while ago. The only signal you can see is a SpectrAlert horn/strobe. But if you listen closely, you can hear a MASS in the background, set to 800 Hz and doing what sounds like the 7-short 1-long general emergency coding!

Simplex EVAC. The normal female voice with a longer message (The signal tone you just heard… When the evacuation signal sounds…) then going to the normal 500Hz Temporal 3.

For some reason, the 4903+2901-9838s shut off after the alarm went off.
