    The reason that there is a pause between "by the" and "nearest exit" on the MXL is because the voice card is switching to a different recording. This decision was made so that "nearest exit" could be replaced with an alternate direction such as "fire stairway", as Pyrotronics did not allow for custom messages to be recorded at the factory; they had to either be recorded onsite or assembled from the existing message vocabulary

    Ok. Imma just say something, the Cerberus Pyrotronics/Siemens message wasn't used in the WTC. It was only the Siemens Slow Whoop. For some reason they decided against messages. There are multiple audio recordings of only the whoop. Common mistake that can be forgiven though!

    • @randompersonFire
      @randompersonFire Před 3 lety +6

      The reason is NYC building codes for high-rises which don't allow automatic messages. An alarm only triggers the slow whoop tone. Announcements are manual - upon the initial alarm, an announcement like this is made: "May I have your attention please. The alarm you are hearing is being investigated. Please listen for additional information which will be provided as soon as possible. Thank you."

    The Edwards voice evac gives me bad memories. It was the first real voice evac system I've ever experienced. Back when I lived in the barracks on a naval base, the Fire Alarm goes off and plays that message at 4 in the morning on new years day 2020. No tones, whooping, sirens, nothing. Just the message on repeat for an hour. 4 o'clock in the freakin morning on New years!! Stupid system

    My school’s voice evacuation message says, “A fire alarm has been reported. Please evacuate the building. Move away from buildings and wait for further instructions.” It repeats the same message but in Spanish the second time it is played. I think it was custom. But the “A fire alarm has been reported” makes absolutely no sense. The system is an EST3

    I love the simplex voice evacuation message as well, however I agree what you said that it doesn't make much sense. It tells people to go to a main lobby and it states that there is just an emergency, not a fire emergency, only way I feel a person will figure out what kind of emergency is happening is by looking at the alarm and seeing the fire lettering on the alarm while it is activated. I have seen real fire alarm emergencies with the simplex voice evac and people always seem very confused and they get up and walk aimlessly.

      Simplex offers an alternate message that gives correct instructions...
      czcams.com/video/roMsTu4hvWo/video.html
      ...but before the 4100ES, a non-default message had to be ordered from the factory. This would cost an eye-watering $10,000. Yes, that's right, $10,000.
      Even though the 4100U had the *exact same* voice-evacuation components that the 4100ES does, the 4100U programming software does not allow voice messages to be changed.

    One thing that I really liked about fire alarm voice evacuation, elation messages is the fact that do not use the elevators has a very great emphasis on inflection. Also, who were the people that were able to voice all these different messages? I really like fire alarms that talk better because they’re more pleasant to the year than a shrub blast. It would be great if there could be a fire alarm that could see this message. Attention! You’re about to hear a loud blast. Please protect your ears to avoid hearing loss from this blast.

      Not for the Fire-Lite ECC-50/100 Voice evac system because it has better quality than the traditional Fire-Lite Voice evac message especially if it's played on the System Sensor L-Series or an Eaton Cooper Wheelock Eluxa Speaker Strobe.
      It's also has the wording script that is almost identical to the Wheelock Voice evac message that says:
      “May I have your attention, please? May I have your attention, please? A fire has been reported in the building. A fire has been reported in the building. Please proceed to the stairways and exit the building. Do not use the elevators.”

    In 2003, Siemens released voice-evacuation for the FireFinder XLS (non-voice components were released the previous year). It introduced a new message which in my opinion is the best one. It's well-worded and crystal-clear: czcams.com/video/fcr6H0baKl4/video.html
    FireFinder XLS is still sold today, but was renamed Cerberus Pro Modular in 2016.
    Siemens' long-term roadmap is to use the FV-series platform (introduced in 2015 as the FV922 for small and the FV924 for medium-size) for large panels too. The FV series uses the same message wording but has a new recording (sorry, couldn't find a video that shows the whole message): czcams.com/video/ARSRmwr-jpk/video.html

    Simplex: I agree with what you've said, heck I don't know why Simplex continues to use it to this day on their ES-series panels or why they even thought it was a good message back when they originally recorded it (though they _have_ since recorded other messages that are arguably better like "There is a fire emergency in the building. You are to leave the building by the nearest exit, or exit stairway. Do not use the elevators" This one is better than the default message as it doesn't bother with saying "Attention" (though that might still be important) & specifically tells occupants what's going on & what to do).
    Edwards/EST: From what I've been told prior to 1999 Edwards/EST actually used "hurried" or "panicked" versions of those iconic messages, where the same voice actor spoke in a tone of voice that suggested he was panicking. I'm sure they did away with these versions since they could in turn induce panic in the building occupants (& thus adopted the "calm" versions instead).
    Silent Knight: It also says things other messages don't, such as taking handicapped occupants into account. It also says "Use stairwells _where necessary_ ", meaning Silent Knight probably had the message recorded with one-story buildings in mind.
    Cerberus Pyrotronics: As far as we know messages like the one you rated were only used on MXL-Vs with the DMC-1 message card (which was made by Siemens since they had acquired Cerberus Pyrotronics by this point, thus it's actually a Siemens "message" & not CP): unlike pretty much all other companies' messages it's actually spliced together from a series of individual words; this is why the voice actor seems to struggle with saying it. It also was never actually used in the WTC as far as we know: evidence suggests the system played only a whoop tone & no message.
    Notifier: I don't know about Notifier's newer messages, but my personal favorite is someone I like to call "Notifier Guy", this guy: czcams.com/video/FLc8n77IlOA/video.html (heck I'd say going by the few messages I've heard him do that his are pretty clear & concise) I do agree with you pointing out the (technically) incorrect incident reporting of "fire alarm" rather than just "fire" (heck a Simplex message I once heard screwed up even worse; saying _"fire alarm emergency"_ rather than just "fire").
    Fire-Lite: Yeah (everything you said about it).
    Wheelock: Normally the message is _much_ higher-quality than the version you played in this video, though I'd say Wheelock has probably some of the most clear voice evac messages of any manufacturer.
    In general: it wouldn't surprise me if the reason why so many companies' messages say "emergency" instead of "fire" is to avoid causing panic (after all that's why they say "Don't shout "Fire!" in a crowded theater").
