Guest pettrans1@aol.com Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 I am an advocate for a Seniors Tenant Association in my apartment complex. Recent extended alarm testing sessions covering 2 days, 6 to 6 1/2 hours each day, approximately every 5 minutes in each apartment, so over 12 hours of decibel exposure ! The management screwed up on the notification of said testing dates and times! So 198 apartments, 4 floors of apartments with that 12 hours of exposure levels, both residents and their pets were exposed to this most miserable torture ! What can be done for the next annual testing to avoid this extreme exposure which has caused headaches, earaches, a couple people complained about vertigo, nausea but no seizures, thank God !

Tom Sutton Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Are you testing the domestic smoke alarms in each flat or are they heat detectors in each flat connected to a communal fire alarm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthonyB Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 No excuse for continuous sounding, the engineers should be using the control panel 'walk test' that automatically shuts off the sounders after a few seconds when a device is tested.In some panels the 'walk test' is actually silent so the sounder testing can be left to a particular (although slightly more prolonged) period at the end of the testing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
