That is amazing you guys were able to get those synced up. All though I kind of like the sound of them being a disco party of un-synced horn/strobes, as much as it doesn't sound right. But I got to say, your high school definitely won't be the same again not going to lie, and for the better as well.
Yep and finally just for gentex and system sensor too but I’m kinda looking for notifier honeywell Johnson controls voice evac for specific speaker strobe alarms because it might do English Spanish and French but I couldn’t find Spanish and French male voices except female voices unless if it is available.
Man Nic, it sounded like I was right there with you! LoL I can tell you you love doing this kind of stuff. I was on the safety team at both my jobs. So I got to play around with the alarms every now an then. Plus I was a manager at both. Keep up the good work!! I enjoy watching your posts! 😊
We had a fire drill today, they told me to pull it two minutes early from the time I called in, I thought to myself the monitoring station probably set it for before a few minutes we called in, everything was fine but it kinda scared me lol
My school definitely has some code violations with the sound levels. It is voice evac so it is already pretty quiet. The classrooms in the original part of the building don’t have any signals in them and the ones in the additions only have remote strobes. The band room is really big with a lot of instruments and there is only one quiet speaker strobe at the front of the room. The practice rooms and office that are attached to that room are even worse. The practice rooms only have remote strobes and the office doesn’t have anything. Whoever designed the system did not think it through very well. This surprises me as the school is not incredibly old (2008).
I've never heard of passing out from high volumes did the sound in the confined stairwell cause them to have heart attacks? Hope they don't have any long term effects.
Some people have something called “sound terror” where loud sounds will send them into a terrible state of anxiety so they probably passed out from anxiety
@@nics-systems-electric Two main causes: good ol' fashioned fainting because sitting with the blood pooling in your legs and having a sudden startle and need to get up and move is a recipe for a faint, or by a really interesting condition of the ear where the bony structure that protects the semi-circular canals in your ears that control your sense of balance is too thin or has holes and when overstimulated by sound can make you so dizzy you faint.
3:45 all the kindergarten kids during a fire drill Fr tho i did this but i noticed how the L series is actually kinda quiet but that could be cuz the whole system is on mediums and lows
@@nics-systems-electric Because of all the sound waves that the horns make will always be at the same phase when they're synchronized instead of at different phases when they're unsynchronized where one can make the resulting sound quieter or louder. What phase is in sound waves is the time or location in a different sound wave across from the other sound wave. In terms of time it has to go with location for example with unsynchronized L-Series horns there's one horn and the other one sounds over it at a different time then it will make the resulting sound sound quieter of louder depending on the time the other horn sounds over the 1st one and it also has to go with location as unsynchronized horns that are far apart from each other will make the resulting sound slightly quieter or slightly louder or they're very close to each other it will make the resulting sound much louder or much quieter making it feel like a constantly changing places of hot loud spots and quiet cold spots of unsynchronized horns. Phase in sound waves is from 0 to 360 degrees and 180 degrees is the inverted sound wave phase and if a 180 degree sound wave phase plays over a normal sound wave phase it will make the resulting sound get quieter or it might cancel it out if it's right next to each like a speaker facing a speaker with a 180 degree phase. And here's a table of how sound wave phase Interference works Current sound wave phase: 0 degrees 0 to 180 degrees: sound gets quieter 180 to 0 degrees: sound gets louder 180 degrees: sound cancels out if they're the same amplitude or gets much quieter 180 to 360 degrees: sound gets louder 360 to 180 degrees: sound gets quieter So yes that's why it's now louder and it now sounds no longer weird with the different volume elevls occurring from the different sound wave phases of the horns as when they're allsynchronized they always sound at the exact same time resulting in the same exact sound wave phase.
@@nics-systems-electric Yeah my school usually just tests from the panel in the main office, they have the fire inspector lady come down and then start it for fire drills
@@mikeroseberry5329 Yeah. The reason that we have so few is because I live in an area that is very cold and snowy for a good part of the school year. Because of this, my school district only requires 1 fire drill per month that the weather allows. This usually results in around 3 drills per year. They also count false alarms and real alarms as drills.
great video sounds sooo much better now
Yes for sure
This is a cool fire alarm system at this school
That was so amazing. The horns sound super perfect now too
I am loving the synchronized horns

Great to hear all sounders are all in sync now. The decision on placing the extenal module payed off very well.
The landscape is breathtaking.
Watching this in school right now
Good job on fixing the sync! Sounds much better now. Keep up the good work.
Wow impressed. I bet temp4 well make it sound different.
That's not Temp 4 that's Temporal 3/code-3 Temp 4 is only used for CO detectors or for a CO alert on a voice vac system.
It only did 4 pulses as all the NACs were syncing up. It is most def Temp 3

That’s school is huge!! We do not have schools that big in Vermont
Finally the first fire drill with it all synced up and I got to pull the fire alarm for the fire drill at school today!
Maybe these two should write a new song all about how loud the alarms are"! Ear Aches By The Number!"
1:13 mark -- I don't know what part of Canada you live in, but that shot at 1:13 to 1:28 is beautiful!
3:45 all the kindergarten kids during a fire drill
Fr tho i did this but i noticed how the L series is actually kinda quiet but that could be cuz the whole system is on mediums and lows
The L series don't actually have medium volume they are only high and low. The older advanced series had high medium and low though.
@@nics-systems-electric oh they must all be on low but still you can hear them outside the school
The system sounds much better ,if it turned up to load people that have sensitive hearing or earaids Will suffer.
That's OK it's a fire alarm it's not supposed to be nice it needs to be loud enough to maintain 75 dB in the classrooms
It was loud when it wasn't synchronized lol
Louder now

How many drills do you guys need per year,I started around early September and have had two already.
supposed to be 6

Nic I pulled the fire alarm at school yesterday for a fire drill
You know the best place to buy a fire alarm for like my own little experiment board?
Ebay I'd say is a good option
@@nics-systems-electric Thank you!
In My schools portables the Sounders don’t work
stupid question... is there a reason it does 2 quick chirps before going into code 3 when the PS was pulled?
Sometimes it will do two sometimes three or four or five just depends how long it takes for the synchronization to work properly
Wait, you actually pull the alarm? I thought you pressed like a test button on the control panel
You can for a drill but that's the lazy way and isn't legally excepted as a test
@@nics-systems-electric Yeah my school usually just tests from the panel in the main office, they have the fire inspector lady come down and then start it for fire drills
Yeah my school does that. They press the drill button on the panel.
2:54 malfunctioning, Horn and strobe
It's working just fine just low volume
Love Fire Drill Do Like to
as a totally blind person, I always hated this sound. It was so loud, and my eardrums were literally vibrating!
can you do a full tour of the school?
Just watch annual testing videos and power outage videos and you pretty much see it all other than classrooms
@@nics-systems-electric okay thaanks
Fire drill 1:31
0:36 Wow my school district only does 3 drills per year.

Not really either. with the electrical department
