As of today, System Test 26.1 is 10 years old. This video in particular is very special because a lot of people found the fire alarm community through this video and channel. Kind of insane to think this video came out 10 years ago. Time flies I guess.
Same, this might be one of the first fire alarm videos I ever watched back in 2013, maybe 2012 when I was younger. Now that I’m older, I’m not too much into fire alarms as much but it’s nostalgic to watch back on these videos.
The intro is my nostalgia to 2010. Good memories. Would watch these videos day and night when I got my first computer at 8. Now, I’m 18. Time flies Thank you to NewAge, Charlie Davidson, and others for making my childhood
Same, was 8 and terrified of fire alarms, I had the idea to watch them on TH-cam to get myself used to it, and it worked, and it lead me to NewAgeServerAlarm! Time does fly!
Yes, my Elementary school had 2903 light plates with the same horns, the lights were strobes though, and they had it set up in continuous. My middle school has True Alerts in code three, and my high school has True Alerts in code three, I miss these old alarms.
The nostalgia from watching this as a kid when I was in my fire alarm phase on my dads old DELL desktop computer but now watching this again and his other system test are flooding my brain with nostalgia.
Hearing the intro makes me cry. I miss all the times in 2017 i would watch your videos all day. I would miss out some of my homework in 2019 cause i watched these so much. Good ol days. Now life has gotten so crazy and ive been busy, just miss the old times when life was simple. 2017 was the good year.
5:04 That's a little nostalgic; that's what the alarm sounded like at an elementary school I used to go to. I forgot how I'd hear slightly different frequencies as I walked through the building.
Man this was one of my favorite channels to watch in kindergarten and 3rd grade. I was a strange kid lol. But now I am on my sophomore year of high school, crazy to think these videos are old when it doesn’t feel like it has been that long.
When I had my house I had exit signs and emergency lights also. Both 24 hour lights and power failure lights on their own circuit (also run with visible wiremold sometimes). I had a pretty cool mood light serup in the living room too. Man I miss that sometimes.
This was the video that got me into this hobby. Because i had the simplex 2901-9833 on the 2903-9101 at my elementary school. But they were replaced with system sensor speaker strobes
This video is now 12 years old...i was young, like real young when I found this man's channel...used to watch him on my old channel...im 13 now and that intro is, if not, the most nostalgic thing ever...im glad I found your channel again after so long and I'm real honored to have this guy as a part of my childhood..
I love the sounds of mechanical horns. When i was 5 years old. I went on my grandmas chromebook and put this video on. Basically every time i went up there.
Hey newageserveralarm it's an honor to see your setup I'm going to purchase my first house in Pasco Florida and just wanted to say that me and my buddy are getting started in the fire alarm hobbyists our first fire alarm will be an Edward's strobe from 1950s or something extra rare ❤
@@mrwtuber1217 my new school has mainly a Siemens and Simplex speaker strobes system with a few notifier mini sounders near the bathrooms and for the pull stations they are T-bars and another unidentified type
Mark Dunn In most AHJs no they are not illegal. However I do know of at least one -- it's in central pennsylvania -- that does not want this stuff installed in a home.
I really liked the video! When you said "Did you see what I just set it too?", I was like "Uh-oh!" I think that was funny! Keep going NewAgeServerAlarm, I'm rooting for you!!!
I gotta ask anyone out here who knows, how, or where, do you find the 2903 Light plates? I've been looking for a few months off and on and I haven't managed to find one.
Dude you must’ve had a terrible structure fire experience to be this paranoid and over the top with this. I absolutely understand tho, and I applaud this wicked setup you have
@@crapcopter Yeah I know, I actually have a personal hobby of installing car alarms, God forbid someone with loud exhaust comes through my neighborhood, it’ll sound like the Bank of America getting held up
6:27 my Elementary school has this horn that was my favourite sounding Horn as a kid and still to this day it sounds really nice. In my school that horn was set to code 3 man that horn was music to my ears
I guess you really like simplex T bars. And let me guess everyone has the Simplex 4251-20 pull station. If anyone can tell me where I can find that simplex pull Station please let me know. And if it’s on eBay don’t tell me
FANTASTIC SETUP! Love the video! I wonder if anybody can help me: I remember that my junior high school had a system with corridor horns that were actually horn shaped, each box had 1 horn pointed left and 1 horn pointed right..... and the alarm was 4 blasts, 1 second pause, 4 blasts, 10 second pause. Then it would repeat again. 4 blasts, 1 second pause, 4 blasts, 10 second pause. Does anybody have any idea what system that might have been?
Yes, I have since learned that it was an IBM system with IBM 4030 dual projection horns, and that the bonafide IBM panel was set up with a 4-4 code wheel in the panel. Thanks for your help!
Wow, this takes me back to fall 2012, 7th grade. I used to watch fire alarm videos _all_ the time, and I used to think this guy was so cool. I even see some of my old comments from 9 years ago on the page! LOL! Ahh, my fire alarm phase. I legit used to take pictures of smoke detectors in public buildings with my little LG slide phone! Probably pissed off a few security guards. Granted, I've always had an unhealthy obsession with alarms, ever since I was a little kid. But I've always liked security systems much better than fire alarm systems. Still, alarms in-general are such a fun hobby, and it makes me so happy to see all these young fire alarm enthusiast channels following in the footsteps of NewAgeServer(Alarm). I wonder if he knows the legacy he's left behind. Even though I'm an adult in college now, it's always been nice to know there are other guys like me, even today. :)

Oh man, the nostalgia of having a fire alarm phase is rushing through my veins when I listen to the intro in his videos.
I was about to write the same comment. This really is the most viewed fire alarm collector video out there.

coming back almost 4 and a half years later, this was the video that got me into alarm collecting. the memories from my FA phase in 2016...

OMG SAME THIS GOT ME INTO ALARMS TOO!

Almost 11 years old. This video is very special to me it started my fire alarm hobby
First watched this about 7-8 years ago
Anyone know what that popping noise is before the alarms activate at 4:58? It almost sounds like a relay opening or something
The cover on the pull station hitting the alarn
2023 and I'm watching this, ahh memories.
So true
Same
Lol fr
WolfIsntReal sameeee
ikr
9:03 WOAH! A PERFECT F MAJOR CHORD!
It got deep!
Wow
Fmaj7 including the alarm in the living room
9:42 i love how the fire alarms harmonized. it makes the mechanical horns sound a little soothing honestly lol
A perfect A major chord and then the Edwards horn in the garage JUST CUTS THROUGH WITH AN F XDDD
sounds like an actual fire truck honking with a lawn mower
7:02 "Hey we got mail!"
7:01
You’ve got mail
Ha
He should check his mailbox
Man, I Just Love This Corner Of The Internet.
Aaah... the memories Reminds me back when I first got interested in fire alarms back in November 2015.
2011 for me
2013 for me
i got into fire alarms only a couple months before. I think it was august(?)
4:55 March Time
8:16 Code 3/Temporal 3
9:25 Continuous
I was only a few months old when this came out, and when I watched this back in 2015, I was obsessed
9:30 reminds me back in elementary school days
Yes, my Elementary school had 2903 light plates with the same horns, the lights were strobes though, and they had it set up in continuous. My middle school has True Alerts in code three, and my high school has True Alerts in code three, I miss these old alarms.
Tails I have to go through the same thing as I have Ryan is the police department has been in the 99
Those things were loud in elementary!
6:28 why is the pitch of the horn so low
I’m guessing that is how it was set up.
This is the first system test that I have ever watched
The nostalgia from watching this as a kid when I was in my fire alarm phase on my dads old DELL desktop computer but now watching this again and his other system test are flooding my brain with nostalgia.
Ah yes coming back to this brings back all the memories
ikr
yup
i always comes back memories. ( I remember watching this in Nov 11 2011
@@ok-597yearsago9 Yeh
Anyone know what the intro song is called
I can't see the fire alarm in 8:54
Ah the good ole days I used to watch this video 24/7 and I still watch it to this day
9:36 that perfect fifth tho 🤤
I love this video👍🏿
Continuous was the tone that old fire alarm systems in public buildings were set to including in the elementary school I went to
2:59 *_and the piece of crap FamilyGuard smoke detector that wouldn't shut up that one night._* lmao
lmao i have one of those. use to be mounted
no batteries so i assume it had the same exact issue. Familygard 83R

I agree
for good reason. plus youtube algorithm LOVES this video
It’s also (in my opinion) the most memorable.
I can watch this intro every day and the intro is so soothing!!
5:48 that 2901-9838 on a lightplate in your room was my favorite in my opinion.
6:44 is it saying billy Bob or weird stuff

Tenormic3 i think so.

I used to watch this when I joined TH-cam and still watch it to this day
Horns in his bedroom and living room sounding together created a Perfect 5th interval.
This was the very first video i watched that introduced me to system tests
7:16 might have been a failed cut
I love the sounds of mechanical horns. When i was 5 years old. I went on my grandmas chromebook and put this video on. Basically every time i went up there.
Oh my God. I remember watching this in 2012. Oh the nostalgiaaaaaaaa
Right?
I’m with you there.
Me too man good o days
Yep!

2:30 what does it actually sound like? The middle school I might go to has these and I have a fear of fire drills.
EST Genesis
The fire alarms are telling you “YOU’VE GOT MAIL” on the highest volume lol.
saying "YOU'VE GOT MAIL" 1,000,000,000 Times
I swear its veen years ever since i watched this

+NewAgeServerAlarm good combo of alarms
David Stroud or the bg-12 with the spectr-alert advance!
Jaunday Zradsa
A Simplex 4030 and a Simplex Cheveron.
Man, serious nostalgia here from when I was fascinated with fire alarms. I watched these when I was 12 or so.
Oh my god the intro is so nostalgic😢

Omg the nostalgia hitting me hard
How do you change the code settings? Like to code three from continuous?
***** Menu options in the panel.
I like code 3 better
Did you make the music yourself? its so amazing, i would like to download it
This is the first ever video I watched on this channel.
Why does fire horn have like creepy sound?
Ikr
I wanna know
yeah i know right true
5:24 My school has T-Bar pull stations that have that plastic cover on them.

Mark Dunn In most AHJs no they are not illegal. However I do know of at least one -- it's in central pennsylvania -- that does not want this stuff installed in a home.

Did you selectively pick horns that would make such a nice harmony, or was it a happy accident?
happy accident

+NewAgeServerAlarm How expensive were the fire alarms
NewAgeServerAlarm um 😐 that pich was not low maby It is to u but not too me
