Man that whoop tone brings back memories! My elementary school that I attended from Kindergarten to 2nd grade had a voice evac system that played the same slow whoop tone. The speaker/strobes were the rare Wheelock ET-1010 models
It’s possible that the speakers in the stairways are on “page only” circuits, so they only get live announcements and not automatic sounds/messages so as to not confuse occupants in the stairs with different sounds playing at once.
The speakers in the stairwell don't work which is probably due to a bad speaker circuit or improperly connected wiring on that stairwell speaker circuit
@@SodiumInduction-hv Because it feels like someone might have broken off the stairwell speaker circuit as the speakers in the stairwell aren't loud at all
@@dabitzz Because if multiple alarms in one area don't work (audibly/visually of both) then it's a bad NAC circuit (for strobes and horns) or speaker circuit. If one alarm fails then it's because it's showing age or improper wiring. Fire alarms can't work forever which is why they get replaced when one fails and correcting the wiring doesn't fix it
