I'm sorry apartment manager if it's pranksters than updating the system won't fix the problem.

The important thing with any fire alarm system in a building is to test it so often that if there ever is a REAL fire, everyone will be conditioned to ignore it and slowly burn to death.

someone's pulling the fire alarm so they should install cameras in the apartment and the can catch the suspect

+Adam Carter, yes they are my favorite alarms. My school has the frosted strobe version of these. They are called Wheelock MT 24 VFR. They are mostly meant for outdoor use, while the LSM is only meant for indoor because of its strobe design.

Easy use an STI stopper with the alarm, also install cameras near pull stations and exits

The Aparment complex I live in uses vintage Edward Fire Alarm and on continuous which can be heard allover the place even if you're not very close to the building and can be heard in the basement. On night my Brother thought the Fire Alarm sound was my old Clock Radio which constantly made staticy sound all day.

they had alarms like that in my grade school and it's given me a fear of em for life

unless its an older E.S.L (judging by the devices it probobly is) you can tell where the alarm is coming from.

This is one reason why I don’t want to live in a apartment because of Fire Alarms since I have trauma over them happening in school.

I don't mind that noise I hear it all day every day I test fire alarms

If I lived in an apartment where the fire alarm went off in the middle of the night for no reason I would be so upset I will be tired in school the next day if it were on a Sunday through a Thursday because I lost a lot of sleep all because of the alarm going off for no reason.

use STI stoppers

Definitely sounds like pranksters. Very irritating that it happens at all hours lol I'd go mad.

They can't just stick minihorns or remote strobes in the rooms? Geez.

The Apartment Building I lived in during late 80s-early 90s had Simplex either 9806 or Federal Signal in Continuous. Thankfully only in the Hallway and not in the Units.

By the way, we have fire drills in our dorm at about 5 AM like two or three times a year.

If it is a prank then they should not have any pull stations out side the building at all

I could fall asleep to that sound and sleep like a baby. Because I think that sounds just sounds like magic.

Here where I live in Rochester, New York when an alarm is activated via a pull station, the dispatcher will indicate that the alarm is originating from a pull station when they put the call out on the radio. At one of the local children’s homes about a mile or so from me nine times out of ten it’s a false alarm.

I would’ve gotten my screwdriver out, and taken it down, and cut the wires to it. Problem solved

If I had to live in an apartment complex to where the fire alarm went off constantly at 4 in the morning, I'd grab a sledgehammer and smash the alarm to bits!!!!!!!!!

My fire alarm went off at midnight tonight. Nobody was awake now cooking. The fire alarm was like one of the ones in your house but old. Our fore alarm sounded like a car accident, a bunch of silence. The fire alarms have been going off at 12pm-3pm. It was going off for 20 minutes until we called a number. It wasn’t connected to a fire system so the fire department didn’t come. I don’t understand the point of a fire alarm if fire trucks dont come. We have around 300 apartments and they all are lined up. Were not in the upstairs but you get it. We’re moving soon

Who the hell puts a fire alarm in the apartments?! That's overkill. A normal smoke detector would work just fine, but that's too much.

dident find any errors, but the alarms could use a wipe-down.

I would NOT move into an apartment building that is running on a Wheelock system. Simplex Truealerts and 4903's aren't TOO BAD, but I prefer to be in a building with EST Genesis or Integrity models as those sound the most pleasant when it comes to fire alarms. If the building has Spectralert and there not speaker strobe I'm moving the F out!

Yeah I'm gonna keep record of my apartment too because my apartment is starting to do this too 😒

Wheelock MT 24-LSM

Everyone needs some sleep this is not a toy never pull the fire alarm unless is a real emergency

i was not expecting to see they put an actually HORN STROBE device in the room. a minihorn or just a strobe would be enough

If it’s a janky esl panel, that would make sense. But just simply checking where the zone is and where it is, they can try to figure it out there. There are honestly more ways to solve this

I would hate living in that apartment complex where having fire alarm screaming at u at an odd hour ugh I would throw the covers over my head and it would scare my cousin too if we lived there

Alarms used were Wheelock MT (Multitone) and pull stations are Honeywell T bars.

Fix that problem right now i am not happy about all of that racket and if I live there I will not get any sleep because that thing is super duper loud. Unless this wake up call is going to save your life it shouldn’t be worth waking up to this

My worst nightmare would be waking up to that alarm sound

They show EST Integrities fire alarms. They play Wheelock alarm sounds.

Those alarms are Wheelock MT-24LSM multi tone horn strobes

And that alarm he pointed out was a Wheelock MT. On the most annoying tone which is code 3 tone.

i would hate living in an apartment that had Wheelock MT's in the actual apartments why couldn't they have settled in a mini horn or just a silent strobe

Well this is very dangerous because if this keeps happening one day they will start ignoring it and think is just a prank but one day the building will catch on fire and everyone will die because of this type of pranks prankers are doing

They should put in security cameras around pull stations. Once they see that little dome in the ceiling near a fire alarm pull station they’ll think twice before pulling it.

I put duct tape over all the speakers. Can still hear it (I'm not deaf!) But it's less piercing of a sound. I also put duct tape over the flash and it helps a bit with that too (flash is too intense for me).

So whatever became of this fiasco? Did they fix the alarm?

0:20 I thought that was a low frequency sounder fire alarm

Well if they going to update the system then they should put low frequency sounders and strobes in the units and then have horn strobes in the hallways.

We have those fire alarms at school and they sounds just like that

The pannel in the apartment may have trouble

It is a wheelock MT

Change the Coding Option. They should really use LF Sounders.

We have that kind of fire alarm at my school

Why do you put a Wheelock AS in a fucking apartment, You are insane if you’re thinking of doing that.

I think someone decided to pull a false alarm and interfere with the peaceful slumber of his/her neighbors.

It is a strobe not a light.

I woken up to a Siemens UMMT fire alarm 2 TIMES!!!!!

at least they ain't Specteralert Advance

those are wheelock Mts

they would know what the problem was if it was PULLED. because they would have to reset the pull station. Makes 0 senese.

Teheran need STI Stopper 2 cover on the outside and all inside pulls if it happens consistently with horns

Who Puts a Wheelock MT on Continuous in a Apartment Room

Did they ever find the problem?

I was sleeping with my nanny when a man pulls the fire alarm off and I woke up shaking and my nanny checks what happen

Could be bugs too

Wheelock MT-24LSM horn strobes on Continuous

Those are Wheelock MT'S

why on earth would you have the wheelock on continuous

They are wheelock MTs

Are you not allowed to rip it off the wall?

I am paranoid of Wheelocks

I woudldnt want to wake up to a fire alarm and mine is worse is Spector alert advance

That happened to me when I was living in an apartment and I it always went off

Yea

2:02 Wouldn't like to wake up to a fire alarm at that time on my birthday... yes, my birthday is the 9th of august

Wheelock MT-24LSM on Continuous Horn, and ESL T-Bar, Exactly the same as my old summer school...

At least it’s not an EST Genesis

The brand new Katyusha BM 13 of the Wheelock MT models or better yet the system sensor Spectralert advance and P2R models

It’s called some kind of a wheelock

I also see a fire ex over the door beside a wheel lock MT promises

Oh wheelock mts

I also see a fire ex xfs and the horns are MT promise?

darn kids.

Major oof

Does he mean a wheelock mt horn strobe 😀😀😂😂 fire alarm

Wheelock mt 24 lsm
