  • The system was fairly recently upgraded from a 4002 to a 4100U, which also added some IDNet devices in a small portion of the building, but the rest is all zoned out unfortunately. There is a couple TrueAlerts in the system, some of the 4903s as well, but mostly horn and light plates. Too many model numbers to list, though there is a System Sensor MASS in the system! Very interesting system!

    Simplex Truealerts
    Simplex 2901-9806s on 4903-9101s

    My elementary school had a very very weird combination of alarms in it
    in the front there was one spectralert classic, 2 bg6 pull stations, a gentex SHG 1st gen on continous, 3 wheelock 7002ts
    and 4 est siga 278 pull stations
    in the back of the school there was just spectralerts and bg-12L pull stations, and then in the pre school there was spectralerts and est siga 278 pull stations, bg 12 pull stations in the trailers and spectralerts, and ONE gentex commander 3rd generation outside and then on the front of the school there was a weathered, broken spectralert classic that would make only a very quiet clicking sound when activated

      Walter G Broadnax III when several of those MASS System Sensor horns set to low-tone continuous go off at the same time, it makes for a scary, loud, fire alarm. In fact, those are the scariest sounding fire alarms I’ve ever heard, when set like that.

  • @iangilldjsuperdude
    @iangilldjsuperdude Před 4 lety +1

    The old and the new fire alarm horns sound like a horror movie when they make echoing noises especially the old Simplex mechanical horn on the 4906 (I think) strobe light plate. Also, I didn’t see the System Sensor Mass. Was the System Sensor Mass a horn/strobe or remote horn? But, don’t take my word for what I am asking. Thank you for serving the fire alarm community by testing the fire alarm systems everywhere! Keep up the good work Fire Alarm Tech!

  • @RJARRRPCGP
    @RJARRRPCGP Před 6 lety +2

    I suspected at 3:10 that a System Sensor MA was in a Simplex 4903 or 2903, to replace a dead horn...

    • @RJARRRPCGP
      @RJARRRPCGP Před 6 lety

      Well, in 1998, maybe 1999 or 1997, IIRC, at Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center, (Greenfield, NH and on Wikipedia) next to the gym, one of the '9833s died and a System Sensor MA took its place in the same Simplex 2903-9xxx (probably 2903-9101) strobe plate... (In the Pierce building, which also has the swimming pools)

    • @damiengamer15
      @damiengamer15 Před 6 lety

      No. tell them that they should replace it with another mechanical horn. An electronic one would go horribly with the mechanical horns. Trust me. My school has 9838s and TrueAlerts. Not the best combo.

    • @damiengamer15
      @damiengamer15 Před 6 lety

      ... ... ..... I see. It's, really unfortunate that it has to be a TrueAlert or something like that. But, hey. At least things will work again...

    • @ZakWolf
      @ZakWolf Před 6 lety

      Or since the strobe is still working and is ADA-compliant, they could remove the dying 4901-9805 horn and out in a 4901-9822 electronic horn, which uses the same body as the -9805 but is electronic (it used to use the same sounder as the 90s electronic 4903 horn/strobes, but now uses the same sounder as the TrueAlert.)

      It's probably the usual '9806... (I would only expect it to be gray on that setup, if it's actually a new purchase in this century or sometime in the 1990s...)
      Federal Signal made them as general-signalling only, in the 2000s and/or sometime in the 1990s...)
