Probably had enough strobe coverage but not enough sound. This also happened at my school. Each hallways had 6 Integrities. 4 were horn strobes, 2 were horn only's
@@davidbian2466 It was indeed. It was played out of those speakers as I made the announcement from the FACP and it’s pager is connected to the amplifier that plays the whoop tone and evac message. On voice evac systems we typically do pre-test announcements so anybody in the building that early in the day won’t be to startled.
It was not. Per code, you cannot disconnect or bypass the dialer as that is considered tampering with the system even for someone working in fire alarm, the system must be placed on “test mode” with the monitoring company which means for an allotted timeframe, they ignore all signals and don’t send the trucks. They still receive signals from the dialer but their computers remind them to ignore the signals until the system is no longer on test a.k.a back online.
They dont ever do that, thats just something people say to scare others into not pulling it. The key is to open the station to reset it or unscrew it from the wall. You can key active pulls as pulling the handle or opening it with a key releases the button inside. So sometimes inspectors just key activate them, or do so if they have a break rod in them.

Code 3 tone is my favorite for these
Same
Code 3, normal whoop, slow whoop are my personal favourite
code 3 works for me ok?
i gotta love the slow woop, really, the best thing, and the albany voice evac, truly historic
It's interesting that there are some speaker-only units. Are those in some of the rooms? Wouldn't it be a violation if they were in the main hallways?

My school has these and MTS on slow whoop
I’m scared the Fire Alarm at my school :( 0:19
Nice
Intresting how there is a speaker without a strobe.
I didn't know that Tuvok voiced the fire alarms!
I’m so sad 😭
Was the announcement that you made prior to the start of the test also played through the fire alarm speakers?

Was the dialer disabled for this test

I guess the problem is the camera effing hates picking up the xenon strobe flicker rate.
wait so does inserting the key to the fire alarm make it so it doesn't spray your hand with red ink?

My campus has the same system literally in every building. Nothing new, nothing to see here.
