I don't mean to bother you about the placement of the alarms, but were they always like that? Or were they moved to the ceiling? I'd imagine they were moved to the ceiling, as if those are in their original place then simplex would have given ceiling mount devices, either that or when the did move the alarms, the code wasn't that strict
Problems happen when ordering parts for fire alarms so they realize the only spot for a wall unit is the ceiling, and time is money so they can’t wait for a new replacement to come
Cause. Inspectors and contractors don’t care about nothing. Hell, they even installed a pull station on the ceiling, and a horn/strobe at shoulder level once. They’re supposed to mount them where they are, cuz the “FIRE” lettering ain’t oriented properly, but they just wanna get it over with and go home… 😒
Wheelove Fire Alarms they reminded me of my old elementary school fire alarms we had true alerts and 2903 strobe plates I don’t know what horn the 2903s had
Craig Baker Yes. I have a 2904-9101 with said lettering, but I have a 2903-9101 that came NIB with instructions and according to the instruction sheet, the ceiling lenses were an option but had to be specifically ordered. Hence why we don’t see ceiling mount older Simplex visuals with correct lettering often, although ceiling mounted older Simplex devices aren’t that common, but I’ve seen an older LifeAlarm system in a building in Cleveland with them before. That was three years ago and I’ve never been back in that building so I have no idea if the system has since been upgraded; they oddly had wall mounted LifeAlarm speakers on 4903-9101 strobe plates and those rare beige ceiling mount LifeAlarm speakers. They also oddly enough had ceiling mount 4904 remote lights (some were Strobes and others were lights, even more odd).

I believe the raspiness is because the horns are being run off of FWR. I could be wrong though, it could also be the age of the horns.
