Bell test - April24 part 1

[1909bigdawg1]

that fire alarm is so quiet. i wish they had those at my school

[jacktd3]

Why is it called a bell test if there is horns?

[Gb755c]

@jacktd3 That's just the standard term they use when they do these tests. It would be too much of a pain in the ass to label them for each type of system. Speaker alarm test, horn alarm test, bell test, etc. So they just came up with a universal term "Bell" to mean Fire alarm signal test.

[arizonajostens]

Are they Peizo-electric

Guard "Well we have guns you know!" Twoplyboy "in 5 more minutes it's gonna go full blast." Guard Ok we're getting out of here!" lol

@Tabby266 smoke detector death chrip?

[cindy1000000]

not that load,think they may have to be abit loader.

[coolkid2676]

@cindy1000000 Learn how to spell

[trevordon1021]

Sounds good but really annoying if it was in code 3 it would be better.

[firealarmtech]

uh. if there was a fire in the building and someone didn't set it off in second stage, the building would be burned down then.

[firealarmfreak529]

o my bad, i read the description now

[firealarmfreak529]

is this a 2 stage system or something

[coffeeandsugar20]

To prevent evacuation in large buildings in case there isn't a real fire.

[SystemSensor224]

Very cool! U-MMTs are cool

[NewAgeServer]

Actually that is a U-MHT.

[eddieeddieeddie13]

Yeah. His was differently pitched.

[pivotous]

i liked that federal horn/strobe at the start.

[weathermaniac1]

What exactly are the key holes on the top corner of the pulls for since they're obviously not used to reset the station?

[twoplyboy]

it's to make the panel go straight into 2nd stage. you need a GA key for that to work.

[weathermaniac1]

got it thanks

[Gb755c]

@twoplyboy What is a GA key?

[ilovepolice1]

its a siemens mini horn/strobe

[ilovepolice1]

@ilovepolice1 actually a U-MMT

[lkfcobra]

@ilovepolice1 no its a u-mht

[eddieeddieeddie13]

That sounds so cool in March Time.

[tyeman200]

So the first stage is a pre-alert, so you don't have to evacuate? I was in a hotel once, And the alarms went off twice. The panel was a HUGE mirtone voice evac. panel. When the alarms went off, It made a "beep"

sound. When the manager checked all the floors, they shut off the alarms. simple as that. no evacuation.

[FireLiteAlarms]

I dont think i understand, whats the point of a two-stage system and how does it work?

[twoplyboy]

the point is kinda like a you have pre alert stage..that sound will go for as long as the panel is programed for. The second stage is the evac sound. This is done here automatically in 5 minutes time (because of the programing)or could be tuned on by a GA key at anytime.

[FireLiteAlarms]

So, when its in the first stage, does the panel UDACT dial? or does it wait until second stage? is the idea basically like a home security system that gives u a certain amount of time when you open a door to enter the code before it goes into panic?

[twoplyboy]

I believe we call your UDACT a DVACS here in Canada. it does dial out to monitoring in the first stage.

[FireLiteAlarms]

Oh, thanks alot for your time! great vids keep em comin!

[SimplexFreak]

oh thats the horn/strobe i was asking about? cool

[twoplyboy]

lol

[SimplexFreak]

siemens u-mmt

[NewAgeServer]

Nah that's a U-MHT. U-MMT's are low pitched.

[SimplexFreak]

ok thanx

[DVaccarelli1988]

No, it's a Siemens U-MHT.

[Heyde1979]

good job

[FiReAlArMtEcH2600]

that is a weird code

[twoplyboy]

it's 60 beat per minute for first stage...second stage is 120 beats per minute. 1:1 then 2:1
