A definite favorite of mine. The tones and messages of Siemens are simply superior in my opinion. The messages are clear, and straight to the point, even in the more jagged male version lol. But I love Simplex too, my top favorites for fire equipment for sure, even though my company installs Notifier lol.
Neat system. Seems pretty quiet, more pleasing to the ears than many other systems. I'll tell you, those pulls are a pain to reset, I own a few of them. Neat to hear the sync module clicking away at the end of the video.
+msj191961 Yeah I'd like to meet the engineer who designed those pull stations and force him or her to reset a bunch of them while holding a camera or some other object in one hand several times. :D
0:16 Penn Station has those white E70s (the ones there are Wheelock, these are rebranded as Siemens SET/SEF speakers). Every single one of the E70s, ceiling mount E90s, and the ceiling mount ETWPs in the tunnel all are labeled ALERT instead of FIRE, like in this video.
Those are the pull stations that are in my school. I think there nice, but the only thing I don't like about them is that they can be hard to reset sometimes. Anyways nice video!! :D
This video reminds me of the video "Fire-Lite fire alarm voice evac system test" by Mr. Nick as it almost has the same exact beginning and end of the video (Fire Alarm Testing announcement at the beginning and the system reset at the end). It's reminds me of the video because this is the longest fire alarm inspection video on Mr. Nick's channel that's almost the same length as this video. In the video that Mr. Nick uploaded, it takes place at a Cinemark Movie Theater in El. Paso Texas Unfortunately the video: "Fire-Lite fire alarm voice evac" system test is now private permanently because his videos takes up too much his time and energy to keep up with a channel with content that seems to gravitate towards people like yourself. He's also no longer uploading any new videos The original video description for "Fire-Lite fire alarm voice evac system test" was "Another Cinemark! This one has the MS-9600UDLS coupled with the ECC-50/100 emergency command center"
Sorry to hear that, his videos would have been interesting to watch, especially as I never had an opportunity to do any work at a movie theater. This video was taken at a combination church/office/school building near Chicago, Illinois.
First fire alarm panel I've seen with a color screen built into it. I never knew this sound and voice were Siemmens I thought it was Wheelock I've heard this in other videoslock. Learn something new everyday. What speaker is that in the one starwell you were in? it was the one that DID NOT have a strobe. l
Gary Beltz They are wheelock AV devices. Generally, I have found siemens likes to cover the wheelock logo with their own. And the one in the stairwell is part of the wheelock E70/E90 series "low profile" speakers. www.cooperindustries.com/content/public/en/safety/notification/products/life_safety_notification/audible_visual_appliances/speakers/wheelock_series_e70wallmountspeakers.html
Why are the Wheelock ET-70's labeled as "ALERT." I thought all fire alarm devices had to be labeled as "FIRE." And for multi functional mass evacuation systems, NA's would have to labeled both "FIRE" and "ALERT" or have two separate NA's for each. Never seen a system like that before.
No, for mass notification systems, ALERT labels are allowed. They assume the voice message will be understood by the occupants of the building. Some facilities do use a clear strobe for fire, and an amber strobe for alerts.
Gary Beltz I know that Wheelock makes standalone mass notification devices (Exceder colored strobes, horn/strobes, and speaker/strobes, RSSP strobe plates, RSS colored strobes), but I was not quite sure about the plates.
Was this at an office building late at night or something I notice there was an announcement before this one started and the video lighting is kinda low.
+Gary Beltz i had just decided to record the announcement for this one since I wasnt giving that announcement. and no, this was actually in a Church/School building. The who place was fairly dark
+Lord Tourettes If you are referring to the horns then perhaps yes if you mean spakers it doesn't matter what brand you use it's all based on how the panel is programmed what tone and message are used.

I know my old school used to have them
Gary Beltz maybe the engineers should make a key reset pull station.
The video says Siemens MXL but it looks like XLS
They’re not quiet. Trust me, they’re not.
0:16 Penn Station has those white E70s (the ones there are Wheelock, these are rebranded as Siemens SET/SEF speakers). Every single one of the E70s, ceiling mount E90s, and the ceiling mount ETWPs in the tunnel all are labeled ALERT instead of FIRE, like in this video.
trainerred206 I only see E70's I don't see E90s or ETWPs..
Look for the E90s when you’re in an area with a lower ceiling (say near Dunkin’ Donuts), and the ETWPs on the train platforms.
Wow, very nice to see Wheelock E70's aka rebranded by Siemens are marked "ALERT"
My school at one time last year evacuated all of the students due to a bomb threat and there was also a panther on the road near the school
That'd be a *guess I'll die* moment
Nice!

Grant Bansemer Yeah lol, you see me struggle with it and even stop recording by accident
tornadofreak1994 Lol, yeah
+tornadofreak1994 We can also hear you drop the Alan wrench
Yep :D
We have them at my HS, unfortunately no E-70s like those.

this is the same exact message and tone as my work place
The high school im going to in a couple years has those siemens pull stations
This one is a classic.
Yep

I forgot that Wheelock made custom speaker and speaker/strobe plates that were labelled "ALERT".
Do they still make them?
+Craig Baker I would think they do because Simplex now does it especially on a 4100ES system.
Gary Beltz I know that Wheelock makes standalone mass notification devices (Exceder colored strobes, horn/strobes, and speaker/strobes, RSSP strobe plates, RSS colored strobes), but I was not quite sure about the plates.
It's kinda odd to see seimens logo on top of the face of the pull station
22megaton Yeah, they like to put their branding EVERYWHERE on their systems
Well, it's to make space for the braille.
Wow the audio doesn't loop very well with that 6 beeps when the code 3 restarts.
+JMAN123436 It could be a zone coding built into the programming the pull station that Winston triggered might be part of Zone 6
+Gary Beltz who the fuck is Winston
Me.
Was this at an office building late at night or something I notice there was an announcement before this one started and the video lighting is kinda low.
+Gary Beltz i had just decided to record the announcement for this one since I wasnt giving that announcement. and no, this was actually in a Church/School building. The who place was fairly dark
tornadofreak1994 cool
wow
why does that Wheelock strobe say alert on it I never seen that before
It's meant for general use.
It’s fire as long as it says a fire message, but its very illegal to have a yellow strobe for fire
@@meredithjhanson8942 Why is it illegal anyway?
Are those wheelock speaker strobes
I knew spectralert is better with code 3
