Guessing the administrators didn't tell you? I could probably answer that since Fire Drills are usually given advanced notice to alarm monitoring companies to put the system in test mode, So it doesn't automatically dial 911. Sometimes even hitting a Drill button or using the panel manually may accidently call 911. Like this video. th-cam.com/video/tp58r1oPRQY/w-d-xo.html
Your school uses a notifier fire alarm system. My school uses a Honeywell rebranded Notifier system. So technically, my school also uses a Notifier fire alarm system. However, in the recent years, they retrofitted the fire alarm system at my school to have voice evac capabilities. The voice evac alarms are located in the newer parts of the school only.
@@XxThegreatguyxX When my school first installed Advanced Network Devices, the ip clock kept crashing a lot last school year. It displayed “Network Inet” just like in your school. Also the ip clocks used to play a quiet music jingle chime randomly last school year. The jingle chime is the Advanced Network Devices startup chime. They fixed most of the glitches by March 2022 and got all the ip clocks to work properly. My school doesn’t use the Advanced Network Devices for fire alarms though. I was told they didn’t ring the all clear signal during the two fire drills last month, so I’m guessing they are not using it anymore. They only used the all clear signal once after a fire drill in December 2021.
@@caltrain_928 The first time I heard the chime when the clocks weren’t working before school started, then when it was first period the bell didn’t ring, so they told us to go first period. At the time my first class was P.E. and we were waiting outside until they open the doors and that’s when I heard the chime. It came from the speaker outside. The second one was from last year when the whole street was without power, so all of the clocks were either “:” or Network Init-. The clock kept making that chime noise in my math class for a while. It also made a beep noise too.
Wow an emergency alert system attention tone (853 Hz + 960 Hz sine waves) played on the Intercom tied to the fire alarm system with Gentex GOS'S on 800 Hz doing Code-3 inside and Wheelock MT'S doing 120 BPM March Time outside I do know thats it's Illegal to use emergency alert system tones on non FCC and FEMA listed emergency devices and alarms because it can trigger false alarms because if you hear that sound playing on a non emergency device then you will ignore that sound on an emergency device which is not good as this is like false fire alarms. Of course and the reason why they use the attention tone and not the SAME tone that's normally used on the emergency alert system is because it's a name for a tone to get your attention over an emergency and the SAME tone is normally used to transfer the data although it gets your attention but it's not an attention tone and also the SAME tone has the legacy of being a horrible sound even if it's not very loud that will cause you to trigger your fight or flight response as it's a spooky sound like a sound in a horror movie
They should probably just use the sound after the EAS only as that's sufficient. If they're going to use those clocks for drills. EAS should only be used if there is an actual emergency that requires EAS.
The Default tone on all AND(Advance Network Devices) Products Is these two signals. For some reason, I dont know why but I see this is the way it was created
The sound you want to hear is the attention tone. The first part of the alert is the data burst, which sends the alert data to other encoders. The attention tone is, well to get your attention. The SAME fsk burst is the one you do NOT want to play on the air.
Someone pulled a pull station again? My school has a limited amount of pull stations. The only pull stations are in most of the portables and in electrical rooms that contain a fire alarm panel. My school uses a multi panel system with voice evac.

They aren’t connected. The administrators have access to the software that runs the ip clocks, the software can be accessed through computer website or phone app. They have an account and the admin logs on on their computer or phone and send off the alert when the fire alarm goes off.
No, Its thru a Mobile App That is made for product holders. But this can Be Tied in to a Fire Alarm System however. My Job Just got this system, and It works gracefully, We all have Access to the System Via The Textnow App, Which is my phone provider anyway. But yes, it is capable of being added to VOiP services(Commonly Textnow Or Google voice) And can be activated via panic buttons, Keys, remotes or using the Joined app(Ex: Textnow) To activate it

@@trevormacewan I feel that there were WAY too many Different Codings being heard in the video, Like how is this passing Modern Code requirements. I get the whole Grandfathering thing(In school to be a Fire Tech), But Damn I heard like 4 other codings including the IP clocks too

What type of alarms are used here I can only recognize the Wheelock either MTs or ASs doing code 3 I'm not sure what all the rest of the system is including what made the EAS tone
Advanced Network Devices not sure what model they're using. But why an EAS tone can't really be sure it's probably just an attention getter as the clock signals evacuation or whatever other drill they do. Good Idea but EAS is an odd choice.
@@trevormacewan They’re using the newest model of Advanced Network Devices. My school also have the newest model too. The EAS tone is actually in the audio library for the software they use to run the Advanced Network Devices.

I always wanted to know what the less on the intercom meant
0:06 it sounds like a eas alert tone on a phone 0:27
now this is awesome and interesting.
Oh damn it, you are hearing nice fire alarms until the eas sound comes along...
2:30 is that a service dog, I know my school has service dogs as well, unless if that is a vet tech class
