This is by far definitely my most favorite alarm off all time! The tone and candella switches are easy to switch, it can get really loud, medium, or pretty quiet volume, it's easy to Mount and wire up, highly recommend this alarm if you are looking into getting your first alarm.
But since Gentex Commander 4 Which is the Ceiling mount is older Gentex Commander 3 is the best Gentex alarm but if the only place for the alarm is the Ceiling in a certain area then would contractors just put Gentex Commander 3 on a Ceiling? Or there is a Gentex Commander 3 Ceiling Mount? if not then Gentex Company is better make those Ceiling alarms so that contractors don't put Wall Mount Commander 3 on a Ceiling
The basketball arena at my college has these on woop. They were set off accidentally during a game, and believe me, several woop alarms in a big echoey stadium sounds really freaky.
I also like that they have a convenient to wire or four wire setting that way they can be powered with batteries for a simple switch wiring or you can switch it to four wire for a panel that has multiple Nacs for audible silence !👍🏻
I had a red strobe in the bathroom and swapped it out with a white strobe but I didn't have to unscrew the mounting plate or rewire so I think that's pretty cool that they did that!
I guess I am a Gentex guy... I love the look, and sound of the Commander series. I notice they have one of the most pleasant (if that's the right word to use) alarm noises on the market today. They also look really user friendly as well.
I like commander threes too I didn't at first but after I installed a few in my system I found that the mounting plates are all the same so you don't have to rewire anything if you're trying to swap one out you just have to pop the alarm out!
Wish my school had these :/ they look and sound Awesome :D. definitely would make fire drills more fun instead of what we actually have (EST WG1 Horn-Strobe’s)
My school has these exclusively in the newer parts of the building, so the sound is pretty nostalgic for me. My elementary school also had these exclusively in every part of the building.

Same

Where was this? If this was in a public building, you should never do that because that's considered tampering. If this was at home, that's fine.
@@TakoElevatorsconsidering the use of the word "I" i think this is at home
You made a spelling mistake in the description, it said wtich.

Do you have any commander 1 horn/strobes?
I have yet to see these alarms with the "Alert" and "Agent" bezels installed.

You’re the best SER safety

The Gentex commander 3 is an alarm that you would see at a McDonald’s because it is a classic

Edit: don’t call the police on a little boy who did it, done for drills Or a fire only.
Where can I get these?
I see the pull station and alarm combo a lot with the white ones we have the red ones at my school
Mechanical continuous is my favorite one. I also like whoop.
Mechanical continuous is my least favorite but we all have our opinions🙂

That beautiful strobe though
We have these outside our school on fast March time

Daniel Reed In case you do not know, almost every school has this, but they are retarded and do not know how to change the tone.
1:38 EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT

Addison Vang its not, the strobe cover for that is round, the gentex is flat
Chime Tones
