Test of the fire alarm system in Neo on 25 November
On Monday 25 November the fire alarm system in Neo will be tested. During the test, sirens will sound, but you are not expected to evacuate.
- As always when alarms are being tested, you should take stock of your surroundings and be alert for actual emergencies.
- The elevators will go to the ground floor and wait with the doors open when the evacuation alarm is triggered.
- During the test, the fire alarm will be triggered in various locations in Neo. The evacuation alarm will alarm locally. The delta repeaters will alarm both locally and in the entire building.
This is a good opportunity to note the difference between the evacuation alarm and the delta repeaters.
Reminder about the delta repeaters
The delta repeaters are not, by themselves, considered an evacuation alarm.
They are intended to bring potential situations to the attention of people present and to give people a chance to localize fires early.
If you are bothered by the noise of a delta repeater, you can press "summer tyst/test" to silence it temporarily.
Whenever you hear an alarm or see flashing lights, you should always take stock of your surroundings, even if you know that planned maintenance is being done.
