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
I love spectralert classic speaker strobes. I had them in kindergarten along with Faraday FOS mechanical horns, this was before I was transferred to another elementary school with Spectralert advance ceiling mounts in white. And the outdoor spectralert advances were red which is the wall mount version, and in the nurses office, they were in red and on the wall, and there is something surprising, there is a white spectralert advance wall mount in some of the bathrooms which surprised me. But most parts of the school has the spectralert advance ceiling mounts in white.
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
@@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
@@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
