2:49PM,, 29/06/10. My descent from the top of the T1 car park - my favourite spotting location at MAN - down to Terminal 1. These alarms were going off for about 20 minutes but It appears they were only going off in the car park because when I went back into T1 there was no sign of noise or evacuation neither panic among passengers.

  • Fire alarms are so much more modern in the UK.

  • Also, generally an intermittent alarm normally suggests that the fire is in another area otherwise I'm sure that Fire Marshals would be evacuating people.

  • Sounds kind of like a Simplex system with System Sensor MA horns.

  • @Thebustermann hmm maby but it seems very unllikely though, i dont think thth would conform to en54 or bs?

  • @djkid9 surely that depends on how the system was designed and designated in the first place. It may simply be that the car park is its own system, individual from the terminals.

  • ive been through T1 departures about to get to the shops when a alarm went of. The whole of T1 was evacuated and put into a little food drop off point and T2 and T3 remained open. Im talking about MAN AIRPORT

  • @MrLaird1998 The sounder is a standard from 'Protec' which was manufactured from the 60s-90s and only generally found in north west England. Now discontinued and very rare, they are black boxes with a silver horn recessed into the front. Never seen a picture of one on the internet.

  • if the system conforms to regluations that tone would of been playing thru the whole building execpt for the area that triggered the system into fire tht area would be playing an evac tone

  • I had one of these the other week! Was sat in Greggs when it wen't off, only a false alarm, was stood outside for a good 10+ minutes.
