Those plant evacuation stations can also trigger emergency siren systems that are scattered around a large radius of the facility while also sending out a local emergency alert through the local EAS system.
IDK if it is still around, but there was an abandoned nuclear station where the emergency sirens would go off randomly, likely due to faulty/decaying wiring.
@@Schmaggleschticker All of those would work. There's also a dedicated Nuclear Power Plant Warning but this isn't really in use. In the end it's really just what the authorities request. EAS activation isn't automated (though relaying it on local stations is automatic after initial activation).
Imagine this, you are just chilling, relaxing in your house, and then you hear a siren and your next-door neighbor is just outside with a camera filming his house.
Ukraine was worse, a dude was fuckin fishing in a pond nearby used to cool the reactors, at 3AM! Bro had nothing else to do but midnight fishing near a nuclear power plant then it exploded💀
A veteran buddy of mine had a hell of a day every time they tested the tsunami sirens where he lived. It was his job to fire and intercept missiles, so a siren meant INCOMING DOOM GO GO GO
Honestly I just love how passionate someone is about something that to the average person is so random, its still really interesting and Im really glad he made a video showing something that he loves
For the local nuclear power station, they have the alarm system as automatic. If it detects radiation above x, it triggers. Internal sirens trigger first and the hope is it can be contained before it escapes the plant via means - as well as an alert for personnel to take their iodine tablets and put on any PPE required.
The chemical plant 2 miles away from where I live tests its sirens at 3pm every Monday. I'm surprised I can hear it that far away and the timing is so accurate, 3pm and zero seconds on the dot every week, not "give or take 5 minutes".
It absolutely has to be accurate because otherwise any accident that occurred at that time could be mistaken for an alarm test. If you know it's always 3 pm on the dot and one day you hear it at 2:58, then you'll be wise to assume it's the real deal.
The fact you can get your hands on all this is just incredible, i was thinking of getting myself some systems for my birthday in a few days but everything on the market is just so expensive so respect for you actually being able to get these really cool systems
Nice video! Fun fact, The Three mile island nuclear plant.(which is now decommissioned.)in Pennsylvania had outdoor warning sirens installed after the partial Meltdown on Unit 2 in 1979. These sirens would go off if another meltdown occured at the power plant. Otherwise they were tested monthly. These sirens (all of which were ACA) were replaced some time in 2011 or 2012 with ASC T-128s. Ironically those dident even remain in service for 10 years before being taken down due to again the plant permanently closing.
I miss those sirens. I hate fire alarms...lije a phobia of them. I cant sit near a pulldown, I hate their flashing, I hate the chirps, horns, whatever... But air raid sirens? Those outdoor sirens? I luuuuv them.
Been watching this channel for about 7 or 8 years now. As a matter of fact, his channel got me hooked on fire alarm systems! Keep making your content dude!
My father works at an oil refinery. I know they have at least 4 Whelen sirens outside that are tested every Friday. I have no idea if they have any internal alert systems, but I’m guessing they probably do.
I do not know where you got those pull stations, but i enjoyed every single bit of this video. That siren is a great addition to the system. I love how it was coded!
Yooo Broo I subscribed to you like 2 years ago when u used to do the siren test series! Can’t believe how much your voice changed!, love your videos keep the work up 🆙
Not sure why Yt recommended this to me, but I'm totally in. Security and fire systems have always kinda fascinated me and even though I have no practical reason to learn about them I def dropped a sub and look forward to more videos. Also...... am I the only one that gets goosebumps any time they hear a siren like that? I assume it stems from being conditioned by movies and such as I don't live in area that really uses them. Just something about that haunting windup triggers something deep in my brain.
It would be nice if you had a PA and it would say" A emergency has been reported on site all personal or requested to evacuate immediately" or something like that
Evacuation order! Evacuation order! Please use the stairs and find the nearest exit, evacuation order! Evacuation order! Siren blasting as you exit the building lol.the sirens are meant to be quite loud. My school where I used to go, has a super loud fire alarm system and I mean loud! Lol
So… If tornado and nuclear plant sirens are both the same elongated sound, how do you tell the difference when there’s a thunderstorm? Raid sirens, to my knowledge, typically hold a high note for a few seconds and repeat, but the 3 kinda sound identical in general
In my school the building is so old that all the fire alarms are buzzers without strobes set on repetitive. And almost all of the pull down stations are the one on your profile picture.
The highschool I went to in the part of the building that was original had these poles from floor to ceiling with a handle you pulled down that slid along it. Never seen them anywhere since.
I have a chemical plant that is less than a mile from my house. A tank blew in 1982 and we had no warning sirens back then. It was a 9 alarm fire. 41 years later, we have sirens now.
I think people do overreact a little bit on nuclear power plants, the safety systems today are incredible to the point it's up there with airliner safety and probably surpassed it. Of course I'm not gonna just ask you to trust it there's risk's to everything but I do believe that it isn't gonna blow up like people say. Of course though because of the disasters in the past people just think bad about it now which is sad. In many ways those accident's weren't a defect of the technology it self.
I have been told that certain applications require 2 pulls to confirm the emergency to prevent a spiteful employee or a accidental evac that could cost lots of money from a shutdown or evac and response fines - do you know anything about that SER?
On the large metro system in my country’s capital: one manual call point being activated triggers a stage 1 alarm where staff are requested to the control room to check the situation. 2 manual call points or 1 automatic sensor in a “critical space” being activated skips directly to the “evacuate” alarm and summons the fire brigade.
What's the supposed point of having a glass to break in those pullers: as if the mfr. can't just make something with a similar click to have to overcome that doesn't require the breaking of something, if the glass isn't a _cover_ over the box and so it doesn't serve as a deterrent against alarm trolls because they would have to break the glass just to get to it, and maybe get caught doing so?
Hey man, just wanted to ask a quick question. How would one wire an “alert alarm” [supervisory alarm] with an MS-5UD panel? [If one of you commenters know the answer, please let me know]
The siren signal after triggering the alarm sounds like the German civil protection signal ABC-Alarm (one-minute, rising and falling sound, interrupted twice and repeated after 30 seconds of silence.)
What do you think about SPC 4320? Bought it to my home, it includes burgular, fire, waterleak, duress, perimeter, also with 4 fire pull stations that I repainted blue for duress. Great that it has Keyarm input zone too, so I can have my system automatically set or unset based on circumstances so I never have to input any code, the system recongnizes me automatically when I scan my access card to my front door. The systems talk to each other.
Wow, that siren that you just ran is a pretty small one for being that shape. Before this I thought I had only seen ones that shape being about 1+ feet in diameter, like those Carter/Gents ones!
02:33 And also it can send out Emergency Alerts on radio, TV, and mobile phones as well based on the country's Emergency Alert System However it doesn't happen in the United States because there are no nuclear power plants
I see you used the battery hack on the fire alarm panel. That was a cool system. What type of relay did you use for the siren to hook it up to the NAC?
Yes, I do like your videos! I haven't been notified of one for while. OH! I was relying only on recommendations when I should have been relying on a belled subscription! OK, subscribed with bell!
Imagine just chilling in your house and then you hear sirens. You think “Oh i should evacuate it’s nothing big” and then your neighborhood just disappears
I wanna be fire alarm inspector when I graduate, but I can't walk without the assistance of another person or ankle braces, if I use a wheelchair out in public would they make an expectation to me using my wheelchair during an active fire drill because there technically is no fire
Hmm, interesting, because before this, I've only ever seen red/white or silver-colored pull stations, especially that the kind with the T-bar have only been red with white, and without a cover. And I've never seen any that I knew were connected to a _mechanical_ siren before! Oh, and I just remembered your blue ones for police and tornadoes. But I had never seen those before watching your channel. And the most I've heard from those pull stations were: 1. buzzers (both mechanical and electronic), 2. electronic bells (if I remember right), electronic sirens, and recordings of talking. Maybe I've heard one hooked up to a mechanical bell too, but I don't remember it.
"Potential for fire" means leaking flammables, chemical spills, and other serious hazards, and "Fire" means fire. In other words, if you see hydrogen gas billowing out of a ruptured line, pull the alarm. If it catches alight, explodes, and starts burning the place down, also pull the alarm.
so S.E.R safety just used a vixen siren as a demo.. this signal in the air raid siren world is called ''fast wail'' and that mini siren yeah also loud.. so hope this helps!
Those plant evacuation stations can also trigger emergency siren systems that are scattered around a large radius of the facility while also sending out a local emergency alert through the local EAS system.
Thanks for the tip and that’s a great thing to do especially places like Fukushima Daiichi
I would recommend small sirens for the area such as Omni-Alerts or Modulators
IDK if it is still around, but there was an abandoned nuclear station where the emergency sirens would go off randomly, likely due to faulty/decaying wiring.
Negative, most systems on Commander or ASC Compulert software require manual intervention
@@Schmaggleschticker All of those would work. There's also a dedicated Nuclear Power Plant Warning but this isn't really in use. In the end it's really just what the authorities request. EAS activation isn't automated (though relaying it on local stations is automatic after initial activation).
I bet your neighbours LOVE you!! That siren sounds unreal. Great video :)
I was thinking the exact same thing. 😂
I came here to say that.
Just imagine sitting in your house and you hear a siren out of no where from your neighbours garage lol
Exactly what I was going to say
I was thinking if it was legal to activate a siren like that, or even own it.
Imagine this, you are just chilling, relaxing in your house, and then you hear a siren and your next-door neighbor is just outside with a camera filming his house.

The miniature siren above the panel would've been a great inclusion to that forum of emergency, it'd emit a nice dual tone with the big siren.
More like a tri tone as the big one is already dual tone

also question? did you send off a test alert to the fire station cuz permission is important what about the area do they know?

"The potential for fire or fire"?
What's the supposed "difference" between fire and fire?
"Potential for fire" means leaking flammables, chemical spills, and other serious hazards, and "Fire" means fire.
