Does a fire alarm have the ability to permanently damage hearing?

Posted by admin on June 3rd, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 2 Comments »

The fire alarm was placed where it wasnt supposed to be before we lived here and it goes off every single day because it was placed improperly. Im wondering if our hearing will be affected by it as it hurts my ears terribly every day.

If it is placed right up against your ears, but otherwise, no, ear and head pain from loud noise is normal. Get the issue worked out one way or another (destroy it).

Wheelock fire alarm test

Posted by admin on May 28th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | No Comments »

Testing my Wheelock 34T-24+WS-24 fire alarm horn/strobe using 2 12 volt lead acid batteries. This horn looks exactly like the 7002T series but the horn and strobe are wired separately giving the horn an uninterrupted sound instead of the infamous skipping the 7002T is known for. NOTE: these are audio and visual devices using flashing strobes. Even though the camera didn’t pick up the strobe flashing very well if you have light sensitive Epilepsy, or if you have any ill effect from viewing flashing strobes please don’t watch this video. I will not be responsible for any ill effects you may experience. with that said enjoy.

Fire Alarm Testing – Old IBM/Simplex System

Posted by admin on May 24th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 25 Comments »

This is a pull station test at the same school as shown with the “Old School” IBM fire panel. You will see when the pull station is opened the alarm rings four rounds and then stops. The 8″ tan bell is the one you hear ringing.

The bell to the left still works but does not sound with the building alarm. To ring it, you have to yank down on the pole with force and it will “ding” once (and very loud.) There is a plunger mounted right above the bell that is spring loaded; when yanking on the pole, it releases the spring’s tension which then makes the plunger smack the bell. The pole goes down through the floor which connects to a bell in the same location in the hall underneath it and will make that bell “ding” as well. This was how they did it in the early days when they were starting to input “fire gongs” in school buildings.

Ignore the screaming little kid; he was due for an beating.

What is exactly the consequence for pulling the fire alarm at a school?

Posted by admin on May 22nd, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 8 Comments »

I live in Illinois and attend as a freshman in East High school

In this school year alone, mostly in second quarter, the fire alarm was pulled 8 times by various students, all of which were pranks.

I knew a friend who was one of those students, Aaron Hartman, he pulled of of the first two (Both in first quarter, he got expelled 4 weeks later.

at University, some students used to smash fire safety signs, and a letter came around telling us any offender would be out of University.

Guess what, after getting the grades to get in, and effectively getting one-shot at a government grant, the offender was caught re-offending and was kicked out. (the offender was from a deprived area and had no private funds, unemployment was very high at the time).

What is this loud fire alarm type chirping that i can only hear on the phone?

Posted by admin on May 19th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 1 Comment »

When i am on the phone with my friend i can hear this loud chirping noise and when i ask her about it she says she can’t hear it. But i can hear it loud and clear like its a fire alarm ringing like the battery’s dying. Also, she says she can hear the noise in my background but i don’t hear a thing. What is going on here?

sounds like they are doing work on the phone cables in the area, and you are picking up induction from a tone generator that is connected to a cable/pair that is near yours,,..
