Listen to Evacuation Alarms Tones and Sounds

Evacuation sirens are used in many applications to provide a warning or notification of approaching danger, for example: tsunami warning, civil defence, tornado alert, toxic leaks, flood warnings and in a range of other emergency situations.

Many countries, such as Australia have a national ’evacuate tone’; the UK however does not. The relevant standard, BS 5839-1, merely states that the evacuate tone should contain frequencies within the range 500Hz to 1000Hz. However, for particular applications, such as offshore use, specific tones are defined. Known as “/information/pfeer-ukooa-guidelines”>PFEER– Prevention of Fire, Explosion and Emergency Response – as a minimum, there must be provision for three types of alarm on the installation or platform:

1. ‘Prepare for evacuation’ is a continuous constant amplitude signal with varying frequency of 1200Hz to 500Hz over one-second then repeated.

This alarm is tone 9 in the E2S alarm sounders, you can listen to the tone here:

T 9 1200/500Hz @ 1Hz – DIN / PFEER P.T.A.P.

2. ‘Toxic gas alarm’ is a constant 1000Hz tone reinforced where necessary with a red beacon or strobe.

This alarm is tone 37 in the E2S alarm sounders, you can listen to the tone here:

T 37 1000Hz Continuous – PFEER Toxic Gas
3. Other cases for alarm (Fire) is a 1000Hz, one-second on, one-second off tone reinforced where necessary with a yellow beacon or strobe.

This alarm is tone 45 in the E2S alarm sounders, you can listen to the tone here:

T 45 1KHz 1s on, 1s off Intermittent – PFEER Gen. Alarm
