United Security Products FHS-24 Sounding | #FireAlarmFriday
This is what a USP-FHS sounds like when it makes noise. Probably hasn't made any sound in quite some time. It made some scary sounds when it was warming up. Strobe flashed a little quick too.

United Security Products FHS-24 Lot Unboxing
มุมมอง 1.2K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The United Security Products FHS-24 is a rare and quite interesting device. It is a horn/strobe that slightly resembles a Wheelock 7002, but it features a fancier grille, and a side mounted strobe. These are lighter in weight than a 7002T, this is mostly because the horn on this unit is electronic but the metal housing is a bit thinner than a 7002T which make a noticeable difference. This packa...
Federal Signal 300GC Selectone
มุมมอง 8713 ปีที่แล้ว
Here's a neat find. This is a Federal Signal Selectone 300CG with an EM3 expansion module. With the EM3, this unit can hold 3 tone generators. Here, I demonstrate the operation of the unit before I change any of the tones around. I still need hearing protection, even though I threw a towel in the horn.
Workbench System Test 13 | #FireAlarmFriday

Nothing special here. I have my Simplex 2001 back out and connected it to my System Sensor CHSR chime/strobe. Chime is set to 4/sec high volume and the strobe is set to 110 candela. Enjoy.
Simplex 4003 - Post Repair
มุมมอง 1.1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
I do apologize about the extended length of time since the last upload. I have been working on a lot of things and just got something finished (almost). All the raised LEDs and the switches for the Evac and All Clear messages were damaged and needed to be replaced. I have hundreds of LEDs laying around, but the switches were a bit harder to find. Other than some standoffs that need securing and...
Federal Sign & Signal PA-20A Series 2B "Interceptor" Siren
มุมมอง 3.6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The second video of this siren, it's been a while since it has been powered up. Connected to a different speaker this time around and the acoustics at a tad different so the overall sound isn't exactly the same as it was a few years ago. Not saying that's a bad thing though.
Simplex 2001 Capacitor Replacement | #FireAlarmFriday
มุมมอง 1623 ปีที่แล้ว
Sorry I haven't been able to make a video in some time. Life got in the way, but I'll try to make videos more often at some point in the near future. Today, I replaced the capacitor that I believe was starting to fail. As I stated, some of the electronic devices were having issues, so I suspected an FWR problem, and my oscilloscope confirmed that. Though it wasn't full FWR, it was apparent that...

Simplex 2001 on an Oscilliscope | #FireAlarmFriday
มุมมอง 5163 ปีที่แล้ว
Sorry about the delay, there was an issue that made the uploading process take a little longer. Unfortunately, I'm having another issue with this panel. A few weeks ago, I noticed the horn sounded quite raspy. This usually happens when the signal circuit outputs FWR instead of filtered DC. To confirm this, I connected my oscilliscope to the steady signal circuit to observe the waveform. This no...
Siemens CHROME MSM-K-WP Pull Station Unboxing | #FireAlarmFriday
มุมมอง 1.8K3 ปีที่แล้ว
The title isn't lying, it is indeed a CHROME pull station. This is a very cool and rare device that I'm happy to add to my collection. Unfortunately, the backbox is the standard red color, but it did come new in box. It included a pair of keys, installation manual, and a weatherproofing kit. No, it is not for sale.
Workbench System Test 12 - Happy New Year | #FireAlarmFriday
มุมมอง 1.1K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Since the start of a new year falls on the same day as Fire Alarm Friday, I decided to get my still incomplete Simplex 2001 back out and use it for Workbench System Test 12. For the first day of the new year, I decided to share a rare device that I have not shared before. I got this Wheelock F34T-24-WS 4 wire Strobe/Horn new in its original packaging. I am using the continuous run coder card in...
Edwards 341-T Trouble Bell Test | #FireAlarmFriday
มุมมอง 9823 ปีที่แล้ว
Happy Holidays everyone! I originally wanted to make a video with fire alarms flashing some more "festive" colors, but I unfortunately don't have any fire alarms with green strobes, so this will have to do. This is very similar to my Edwards 340-T bell, but this is the DC variant for DC systems. The device also designed to be used with a rather uncommon voltage, 20VDC. Please let me know in the...
BG-6 Lot Unboxing | #FireAlarmFriday

This is just a quick video of me opening up a box that has some Fire-Lite BG-6 Pull Stations with matching SB-6 backboxes. These aren't in the best shape but it was still a good find. I will be posting some of these for sale at some point, but they are not for sale at this time.
Autocall FA Coded Pull Station Demonstration | #FireAlarmFriday
มุมมอง 2.9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
As promised, here is an actual demonstration of my Autocall model FA coded pull station that was unboxed a couple weeks ago. The Horn-Strobe I'm using is an Edwards 895B-321. I decided to have a 12VDC setup today because the Altronix RB5 relay I'm using has a 12V input and I didn't want to make things too complex for something temporary. I needed to use the relay because this pull station uses ...
Acme Fire Alarm Co. Bells | #FireAlarmFriday

Here are 2 Acme Fire Alarm Co. bells that I recently acquired. These bells are on the older side and feature a cowbell style gong. There are no labels or tags listing a model number or date of manufacture. I was able to find the operating voltage stamped on the coils, 110V. I only set off one of them because it was the only on that works. I need to figure out what is wrong with the other one an...

    I attended one, elementary school that had four, Wheelock 34's, three w frosted strobes, and one w out a strobe. It also had a Wheelock, 34t w the frosted strobe, and either a second, Wheelock 34t or a 7002t. I can't remember if it skipped or not. As far as I recall, that's the only building I've been in w 34's and 34t's w frosted strobes. Then they took on a second building w Wheelock mt's, at first were set to continuous, code three horn, then fast march time. The mt's were set to low volume. After changing schools, the new school I went to had federal signals for the majority of the building; three gentex, shg's; two, Wheelock, 7002t's, and I was not used to hearing the skipping, because I'd heard the 34's and 34t's; Wheelock as horn strobes; three, Wheelock, mt's, set to code three tone, and they were set to high volume. To the individual who wrote that the mt didn't grab attention of occupant, u do NOT wanna hear the Wheelock mt set to code three tone on high volume. It'll blow u're ear drums. Last but not least, when they built a stage in the gymnasium, they added Wheelock e70, speaker strobes set to slow whoop w the notifier, tone generator.
