You're so lucky that you have speaker strobes. In my middle school I graduated a week and a half ago, we had Wheelock NS horn strobes and I am scared of fire alarms so that usually doesn't end well.
Happened to me in May. The seniors at my high school were silly stringing the physical education teacher, and they were using confetti machines, and the smoke from the confetti machines went up to the detector and set the fire alarms off, the older side was set off, the side of my high school that was EST Integrity Horn Strobes, the connectors and the newer side has the same EST Genesis Speakers Strobes that your high school has, and the newer side has Genesis remote strobes in the bathrooms and one of the conference rooms. The older and newer sides have a Genesis Remote strobe in the main offices, if the newer side went off, the remote strobe in the older side would activate, the same with the older side. If it went off, the remote strobe in the newer side would activate
My old high school had a mix of horn strobes and speaker strobes.The horn strobes were true alerts in the classroom,wheelock horns on the outside,simplex voice evac in the gym,outdoor wheelock speakers set to code 3 boston tone.I feel that the low frequency tone is better on the ears than an earraping hornstrobe especially like an advance.
Legally I don’t think so, but it probably did count as a drill. My school only does two a year, which is not compliant with the minimum requirement in MA
yes a perfect pace tone of edwards system code 3 is all you need. i think you might need trilingual message or just english message. well you decide after the tone though.
Ive never seen a system with duct detectors wired in for fire alarm, in my area, if the system is monitored by a central station they're required to just cause a supervisory
I remember back in 2015 the school i went to back then had a false activation of the fire alarm, and it was the only time i had to decide by myself which way to go (i was in the IT Technicians office when the alarm sounded, and i was not officially at school that week, i had a visitors badge, and some students did ask why i had a visitors badge) Edit: the cause of the alarm going off was a fault of some sort in the sports hall building, so that building was off limits for a month or two afterwards Edit 2: i had to decide whether to go left or right after stepping out of the office, the sign on the wall opposite pointed left, so i went left, and i then had to decide if i should go straight or right, and this time there was no sign to help me decide, but there was a group of younger students who were being lead out by a teacher, so I decided to just follow them out (they went straight, then curiously went past a fire exit, through a door, then went out a different fire exit)
I remember a few times in my college apartment the fire alarms go off due to Berkeley high breaking into the apartment and pulling the fire alarm and they were gentex alarms commander 1 and commander 2/3 and mini horns and dam those mini horns are loud as heck
Interesting that your ducts are programmed to set off the alarm, most of if not all the jobs I have done this far have always set programmed duct detectors to supervisory haha
@@FourtyFiftyEighty Yeah I agree. But at the same time, a lot of nuisance alarms tend to happen during winter when people fire up the heaters down here. I guess that's why we tend to set supervisory here in Texas lol. But I agree otherwise
had something similar happen where snow got into a duct detector at my school, of course on the one day in april where it snowed a shit ton lol. ended up getting back inside soaking wet and shivering, my physics teacher set my desk on fire with some alcohol to keep me warm 💀
Duct work is the culprit this time? Interesting. probably wouldn’t be a bad idea for the school to get someone up there to clean the detector head and inner duct smoke housing. Canned air does the trick for a quick cleaning.
@@FireAlarmDude5967 Still probably wouldn’t be a bad idea for a quick detector cleaning. The dust and allergens blown around from the cleaning probably cake the inside of the detector housing now.
#whatafirealarmfail at 0:12 It looked like someone was covering their ears Alarm system Likely was not too loud only like 65-75 Decibels loud which is not extremely loud which should not have anyone covering their ears

My middle school has AS's. They scare EVERYONE. Even my teachers. We have them in every classroom and very close together in the hallway.
My college has a mix of fire alarm speakers and horn strobes together
My current school has system sensor masses and the are just such a nice sound
@@therobloxplayer226 lucky
My high school has speaker strobes everywhere, and strobes in the bathrooms…
Cool nice to see all strobes in sync and the strobes flash when system silenced.

Nice video! It’s cool to see alarms in action! Glad no one was hurt! :)
Do false alarms count as a drill in your school
i don't think so but pollin can trick some air duck detector thinking that it was a smoke.
Legally I don’t think so, but it probably did count as a drill. My school only does two a year, which is not compliant with the minimum requirement in MA
my school had a duct detector activation, last week, but for an actual fire. the HVAC motor burnt out, caught fire and caused a smoke condition.
Had that happen in middle school
My high school has this same system. Same alarms. Also plays the same tone, but its a slower Code 3.
yes a perfect pace tone of edwards system code 3 is all you need. i think you might need trilingual message or just english message. well you decide after the tone though.

That’s weird. I’ve honestly never heard of duct smokes not causing a fire alsrm
it seems like there is no PA/intercom system in your school FireAlarmDude5967
No, there is one. How would you draw that conclusion from a fire alarm system
I remember back in 2015 the school i went to back then had a false activation of the fire alarm, and it was the only time i had to decide by myself which way to go (i was in the IT Technicians office when the alarm sounded, and i was not officially at school that week, i had a visitors badge, and some students did ask why i had a visitors badge)

Does It Talk.
As I stated in the video, the system only plays a tone
Why
do you know where the tone is on youtube i need it for my system
It’s an EST code three tone
Interesting that your ducts are programmed to set off the alarm, most of if not all the jobs I have done this far have always set programmed duct detectors to supervisory haha
That’s weird. I’ve never heard of duct smokes causing anything other than fire alarms
I’m a firm believer that they should be alarms. Otherwise what’s the point of installing them
I was thinking the same thing.

My college has GE EST3 panels
Always nice to have a drill.. nicer to see the fire department.. but that can always can mean the drill isnt so real.

Yes, people were cleaning the ducts

Hey not fair I want to know how to censor bar cause idk how to edit
Just insert a white photo into the video and that’s how you do it
You did post it!

Doesn’t sound like a fail
That’s really cool!
ooh hey trentissimus😍😍
Follow the student and teacher First
Then leave the school
Correct
Love the stuff it’s w
Average est moment
How does this have anything to do with the brand
@stopmotionbymg1221 are you.... really that stupid? Lol
