My first alarm (originally intended) was supposed to be an Wheelock HSWC, but then I got an STRC. Later I got extremely interested in more vintage alarms (especially since I started HS a year ago) and got more interested in the alarms that were from my previous schools, such as the 4903 series, Edwards 892 series, and Wheelock MTs as well. So now I’m continuing to get more vintage devices like I should’ve done almost 4 years ago. Thanks for this video demonstrating what to do (and what not to do) when collecting. I really wanted to get a Simplex 4004R but I see it has limited features so now I hope to get the Simplex 4010 one day. Thanks for posting this!
If you are in New Zealand, it is very hard to collect fire alarm devices. In fact, I so far haven't bought any New Zealand devices simply because I cant find any. However just by talking to others like my school caretaker and the university I don't really care what types I get, I just get what I can get my hands on. I now have 3 manual call points (2 adressable and 1 conventional that is rare but I think is broken, used to be 4 but I gave one away), a minihorn, a bell, a sounder, a beacon (doesn't count as fire alarm but I use it in my system), 4 doctors (3 heat, 1 smoke, all conventional), 2 batteries, and a Pertronic F-4 conventional panel.
My first fire alarm I ever had was a System Sensor Spectralert Advance P2RK, since it was the kind of alarms in my elementary school that sure gave me interest whenever we had fire drills, despite how loud they are, I still like them.
My First Devices: Residential Smoke Alarm: Kidde FireX 120-1182 (Acquired on December 10, 2016), this one was actually installed in my house but it was over 10 years old so it had to be replaced. Pull Station: EST 270A-SPO (Acquired on December 24, 2016), the screw is stripped on it now so I removed the spring for the lock. Alarm: System Sensor SCW (Acquired on February 2, 2017). Commercial Smoke Detector: System Sensor i3 4W-B (July 28, 2017). Panel: Notifier SFP-2402 (Notifier version of the Fire-Lite MS-2) (Acquired on December 25, 2018).
My first panel is a Gamewell zans panel. Someone just gifted it to me this Christmas. I even have all of its parts. But I don’t have the power supply or cabinet.
My first fire alarm device was a simplex 4903. If I were to start all all over again I would get a Edwards EST integrity and a Edwards EST genesis device because those devices were in my school.
Where can I buy just a fire alarm that I can keep in a special place in my room just for display? Only asking because you got quite the collection there, Grant. And I don’t remember who he brought his from, but my roommate might or might not still have that same kind of fire alarm to this day in his room. So basically, where can I get a non-functional display fire alarm?
I would like to have a fire alarm control system for my single wide trailer that I live in it would be much better than a regular smoke alarm my own opinion
Just another thing; If you buy a more advanced panel like a 4006,4008 or 4010, make sure and ask the seller if all passwords have been acquired or the panel has been factory reset. Last thing you'd want is to get a panel you can't program / change!

im in nz too and im thinking of getting some fire alarms.
pertronic is real good
@@pilotboy Just don’t worry about what you get, simply grab what you can at first.
Sup ser safety
I love watching your videos SER! Keep up the good work.
My first pull station was a conventional simplex dual action t-bar, the alarm i use is just standard buzzers
I love fire alarms
I would say that Wheelock and System Sensor are definitely the fire alarm brands that are good for beginners
It feels like just yesterday I started my fire alarm collection in September 2021, I now have over 82 alarms and growing.
Same here man and now I am working in this field and also doing networking and cameras
I’m a big fan of your videos

This Guy is awesome.
I might need help finding a wiring diagram for a simplex 4100ES if you could help me. If you can that would be really helpful.
You won't get one. It's confidental. You could try posting it to r/firealarms but I doubt anyone would give it to you.
It's pretty confidental. You can post to r/firealarms but I doubt anyone would give.
Thanks for this video! I have learned something a little new from this video, and I collect fire alarms too. Have a nice day S.E.R. Safety!

I have the first two but not a panel :(
Nice.............i love fire alarms
YAY YOU POSTED!
I'm getting my first panel soon, I'm getting a MS-4
Just a quick question is there anyway that you can help me wire a ms9050ud and tell me what the first voice evac panel.

I own a lot of Simplex 4903s lmao
@alexpisocky4652 My first alarm was a genesis chime. Genesis's are very nice alarms.
I’m gonna pull the fire alarm
@@intercomfanJB same
My first alarm is a Gentex Commander 3
My first fire alarm was the ceiling mount wheelock AS
Thanks For the extra fire alarm! (I always wanted an exceeder )
The hoodie is AWSOME

I got the Wheelock Exeter horn strobe the SAME THING AS YOURS
My first fire alarm was a P2WL-LF.
I would love to have one of those
I would like to have a fire alarm control system for my single wide trailer that I live in it would be much better than a regular smoke alarm my own opinion
Do you have the m2-131 fire alarm?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great video!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
My favorite fire alarm the only one that is,... is simplex 2903 light plates!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍😍
But, I like chime devices too!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤😍😍😍😍
Wow!
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Can you connected with the fire department because I don’t want to connect it to the fire department
I'm gettinga Fire Light BG-12
I do not recommend MS-2s/4s for begginers due to the lack of quality, and the lack of nac protection. Any EMF feedback will fry the panel
My first fire alarms were a fake spectralert classic and a fake bg12l
im getting 3 smoke alarms soon
People who are reading this in 2024
👇
A simplex truealert non adressable/no smartsync cheap alarm would be a good first fire alarm for simplex lovers
such as a newer simplex conventional t-bar
Where can I get a panel under 100 dollars
Also make sure it isn’t the ones that actually call the fire department
Can you get anyone you want Because I'm getting the one That's your channel Icon!!!!!
Just can’t afford the price 😢
Can you please sent me an alarm strobe I really need it I love your videos By the way I starting my first system
Can I have one of you fire drill pls
MY FIRST PULL STATION WAS A FAKE BG12
Same
OH NO
Please Don’t Place Me In Timeout Again Please :(
