This is the perfect voice evac for a simple building. Clear, succinct announcements. Voice repeats frequently. Loud but kind of cool sounding code-3 tone. Much better than the weird Simplex ones that tell you to go to the nearest re-entry floor or "main lobby," talk to you for about 3 minutes, and then just wail like an air raid siren until they get silenced.
No Simplex Ones Ate Just The Ones That Tell You Main Lobby Do Not Use The Elevator Walk To The Nearest Stair Way. Some Of Them Keep Doing It Over And Over And The Whoop Tone.
These are the same alarms that went off at this college in the town where I currently live. I only heard them once and it was because I was attending for a summer program and the cook accidentally set off a smoke alarm.
I like how this fire alarm system sounds I like that code 3 tone it takes me back to high School when the fire alarm system when off and it was not voice evacuation
Devices - EST Genesis horn strobes/Speakers GE EST3 Control Panel. My school has this voice system. But branded by General Electric with the same EVAX message. They also have Genesis horns set on Code 3
@@alexandersalarms5380 The panel brand is General Electric. I know that for sure☺. But i found out that the message is by General Electric. And it is not EVAX. Sorry about that
ok I had used Edwards integrity sounds with simplex voice evac messages that I finally extracted and made from scratch so it worth a download for the Edwards fire alarm panel and simplex fire alarm panel series that supports speaker strobe alarms.
That separate orange alert strobe intrigues me. They have them at my college here in Las Vegas, but I have no idea what it is used for. It can't be severe weather, Las Vegas would be weird place to take that precaution.
The amber strobes/alarms are for non-fire related emergencies. That could mean lockdown, severe weather, or co. Anything that the fire alarm cannot be activated for but the building occupants need to be alerted for is what the alarms are for. The speakers on the fire alarms could be used to announce the emergency and provide instructions for the emergency or the evacuation plan.
Notice how it borrows some of the wording from Simplex's default message, except unlike the latter actually telling people to leave the building, not unlike NewAgeServerAlarm's edit of it in fact. I once found another Edwards/EST message that sounds even more similar to Simplex's default message.
I've never understood the Simplex one. Go to the lobby? What? Nearest reentry floor-like I know what that means, but does a random person in a building?
@@MTM358 Yeah, that's why most people in the fire protection community hate it: because it doesn't give the building occupants clear instructions to evacuate. Enthusiast NewAgeServerAlarm made an edited version of it that fixes this though: "...All occupants walk to the nearest exit, & leave the building..." "...Walk to the nearest exit..."
@@MTM358 Wouldn't surprise me if Simplex recorded the majority of their messages with large buildings in mind given that's what voice evac was mostly used for in the early years of it. As for your latter question, don't know why some voice evac systems do that, if you ask me they should repeatedly play the message AND tone indefinitely until silenced, not play the message a limited number of times & then nothing but tones afterwards.
Your attention please. The fire alarm has been activated. All occupants walk to the nearest exit and leave the building. Do not use the elevators. Walk to the nearest exit. Do not use the elevators. Walk to the nearest exit.
"Your attention, please. A fire alarm has been activated! All occupants walk to the nearest exit AND LEAVE THE BUILDING! Do not use the elevators. walk to the nearest exit. Do not use the elevators. Walk to the nearest exit.
@@dank980 well it depends on the size of the building in super high roses like a 100 floor skyscraper you can't have everyone leave the building at the same time the stairwells would get jammed. In those cases the message tells the floor it was activated on and a number of floors surrounding it to leave and usually they get the full alarm sound. For floors outside that area it might do a more passive thing like a chime every second or two and a standby message may play
@@thatkidfromsmartsville2012 yeah I think that’s why in new construction they have thicker walls around the elevator shafts and put pressurization fans in the elevator shaft as well
Is this a college residence hall or a hotel? I can hear EST Genesis horns in the distance which would suggest smoke detectors with Genesis horns in the sounder bases which is characteristic of a hotel or residence hall/dorm
Does your high school have the voice evacuation system like this one or does it just have the EST Integrity horn strobes? The horn strobes make a sound just like this one.
