Fire Alarm Test #40

- This is a test of an ancient system. The panel is a Notifier System 5000. Most Horn/strobes are Federal Signal 450D + VALS however there are some surprises throughout the video. The smokes are the following:
BRK 1800
BRK 2800
System Sensor 2400
System Sensor 2W-B
System Sensor 2WT-B
Pulls are all FireLite BG-12’s.
This system is fully operational and there is zero plans of it being removed. This system could easily go on for another 2 decades! Next year I will be replacing that 7002T if I return for the next inspection. I hope you enjoy!
The most interesting system I’ve ever seen.
awesome! a very cool variety system.
Wow, a lot of them sound wimpy, like they are ready to give up the ghost. probably so much dust and grime accumulated in the horn mechanism over the decades, that it just muffles them up.
They were all actually very clean. They were operating on unfiltered power so they sounded very raspy
It's the FWR Outputted by the notifier panel.
Very cool, I’m not a Fire alarm fan or in the fire alarm community but I got the same FS fire alarm going off at a dead mall in my channel
Even that Amseco motor horn sounded cleaner that the 7002T
The only reason I didn’t swap it out was cause 3x BRK 1800 died and I had to replaced them. We usually don’t replace stuff the first inspection but we had to. I’ll make sure I swap it out next year.
That was a 450. They just slapped an Amseco strobe over it.
Thank you for being the first one to notice lol
@@Fahrenheit4051 You know what? You might be right about that now that I’ve thought of it.
@@a.r.aproductions1569 Haha no problem
Very interesting system! That 7002T as Well as some of the Vibratone Horns (Configured as a 2901-9806) sound Raspy. There's a System Sensor MASS, which is very interesting. Those advances are just boring.
And and you forgot the classic
@@alexandersfirealarms Yeah, I like classics and L-Series more than advances.
1:26
@@ExoRailfan705 Yeah, that's a bad sounding 7002T.
@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 mine is raspy. And my power supply is outputting filtered DC 24 Volts. Its also quiet as a EST Chime. When I got it, it was very weird sounding and did not skip. But i messed with the volume screws and fixed it. But it got raspy again
I hope to god you replaced some of those devices.
Nope. They worked so the customer saw no reason to replace them. It would have been cool to get them however if it works, it doesn’t have to be replaced.
Alarms:
Federal Signal 450D's
System Sensor Devices (Advance, L Series)
System Sensor MASS set on 800 Hz Continuous
a very raspy 7002T
Bells (faintly heard)
There's a SpectrAlert Classic
1:26 =Sounds like it don't have enough volts! Like it's on a single 9-volt battery, like one of the other videos here on YT, IIRC.
Dude why did they kept the old alarm they should’ve replaced them including that Wheelock 700T
Very nice
Raspy 7002t
It sounds like the 7002t it not working right and the federal horn strobe sound like it dying and it needs to be replaced at some point
A bell could be heard also
Nice, some of the mechanical horns sound a bit raspy tho.
They all sounded raspy. The panel was putting out unfiltered power. They still didn’t sound that bad however.
@@a.r.aproductions1569 Oh ok, I see now.
@@a.r.aproductions1569 I was about to ask if the Notifier 5000 puts out unfiltered DC. I bet most of them (even the 7002T) will sound way better if the panel drew filtered DC.
1:27 fixing the 7002T-24
Interesting little lights scattered throughout. Anyone know what brand they are?
They are Edwards remote lamps. I’m unsure of the model but they are quite old
Has anyone noticed that even advances sound a little off on FWR?
Yeah but those were rated for FWR power
I noticed it a little. FWR is not good for most devices.
@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 That FACP's oscillator circuit seems to deliver poor pulsed-DC. Maybe some bad wiring causing causing a terrible case of attenuation! I heard far better with a Wheelock 7002T on an FWR circuit!
@@RJARRRPCGPYeah, mechanical horns all sound very raspy on FWR. If those were Simplex alarms, they'd not handle the FWR well at all! Simplex alarms are very sensitive to FWR power.
I’m guessing there are Federal Signals vibertones horns strobe
System Sensor Mass
System Sensor Spectralert Advance
System Sensor Spectralert Classic
Wheelock 7002T
Wheelock Bells
Alarms are a System Sensor Spectralert Classic some System Sensor Spectralert Advances a System Sensor MASS some
Federal signal Horn Strobes and a raspy Wheelock 7002T
I wonder did the old horns get replaced
Nope. all but a couple functioned normally. The ones that were bad I’ll replace this year if I’m on site again at the job. Everything else will stay because it functioned as intended.
I hope they got replaced with the led exceder and not the freakin advances
Some of those alarms can suck air into the horn
does that panel put out fwr
Unfiltered DC. It’s different compared to FWR.
@@CoolSimasGuy Sounds like a terrible oscillation circuit in the FACP!
Definitely running on FWR
That FWR is gonna kill those horns. I think its about time the system had an upgrade to full system sensor and a newer notifer panel considering the permanent damage being those horns have and the newer system sensor A/Vs that already exist anyway. I’m sure that eventually all the old horns are gonna end up like that 7002t because mechanical horns hate FWR DC.
Most likely will happen. I will try and replace a couple of the horns next inspection
How can fwr damage horns
@@ajsmusic723 The oscillating waveform of the unfiltered dc current wears out the vibrating mechanism on the diaphragm. The horn needs a steady dc current with minimal oscillation. The oscillating unsteady current is also why the horns sound weird and raspy.
That 7002t @1:28 sounds like crap
Will you keep the 7002T?
I don’t work at the company anymore so I am not sure what has come of the 7002T.
@@a.r.aproductions1569 oh, are you still a technician?
@@firealarm2903_ yes. I have been working at a different company for about a year now. I don’t just do fire alarm. I do Suppression Systems, Alarm, Sprinkler, Extinguishers, etc.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaa RIP
The first horn FS horn sounds like a sheep
Kinda sounded like Chewbacca
1:16 system sensor mass
i can hear bells!
Yep! There were some on the roof but we never got access that visit. Maybe next time!
I’m pretty sure the bells are either Wheelock Bells or System Sensor Bells
wookie call fire alarm
1:30
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaya
LOL 😂
