Ugh, the Simplex 4030 still gives me nightmares when I heard it for a fire drill in elementary, middle, and high school. That thing was so loud, when it went off due to a malfunction and caught me off guard in the hallway instead of being in a classroom and ready for it, I was nearly rendered deaf because of it. As for the Edwards 380, I believe there's a church down the street from my house that still uses it, even after almost 35 years living here and seeing other places modernize their fire alarm systems.
My old school had the 4030 but it was the louder one but it looked like that, It was on continuous. He was so friggen loud, I think the pull stations were the older Bg10's.
My high school used to have the flush-mount version of those before it was renovated 20 years ago. They did a really weird coding. It was a cross between a watch alarm and 60 BPM March Time. Those things were loud for sure

At 6:10. I have heard that if you put a non-polarized bell or horn on a NAC, you will fry your NAC. Some panels have built in protection against this but cheaper panels don't. And, I have heard that non-polarized stuff will cook the NAC in minutes. I would imagine that relays would do the same reaction. But yes, I think non-polarized stuff will fry the NAC.
Emmire Vargas Some alarms can code themselves, some can't. Pretty much all modern panels can code the alarms. A lot of old panels couldn't. It all depends on how the system is set up.
Alright, thanks I have a cheap knock off of a normal specter alert. It has siren and high-lo but dosnt have a continuous option. I'm saving up for a panel, I have a pull station wired to a battery and the horn knock off. Can you recommend a starting panel for me.
the gray buzzer on the right "National time and sound" is that sound on you tube? It was very scary to me at my Taylor, MI elementary school "Blair Moody school" sometimes we would have 2 fire drills a day!!!
At my old school Willow Woods, the fire alarms that they have there is the NATIONAL TIME I don't actually know what there called but they are the same as the GENTEX Commander 3
***** Can you try and get a hold on a 4003EC or if you find one at a building can you record it? My school has one though they only have the TrueAlert Speaker strobes on the first floor in the middle and in the gym but when I tried to record them, the TrueAlert(LoudAlert) horns are loud and you can barely hear them over the horns since the speaker is at a low volume and the only place where I can get a good recording of it is in the gym.
***** Nah it's too new of a panel to get ahold of. If I ever do an inspection of a building with one then I could record it.By the way, the 4003EC is a rebranded Wheelock SAFEPATH.
Bells in modern fire systems are EXTREMELY rare to find, and even 20-40 years ago they were uncommon. Unless you live in Canada, where you see them everywhere

All those mechanical horns. I love them!
This sounds cool because the alarms have very similar pitches and sound cool together
edit: ac hum
Love the red light plate! And the ancient circular Edwards horn, too!

Me too 😂 i was in 1st through 4th grade and was OBSESSED with fire alarms i graduated highschool now 😢
that edwards 380 really sounds like a 4050 or a 7002T!
Best Description Ever.
***** Horns and more horns!
Ahh ahh ahh ahh
I dare you to connect an electric fan to one of the power bars, and then turn the panel to alarm and see what happens to the fan while it's in alarm.
HI, I'm alex. and i am a big fan of your videos. I've been watching these for a long time but I just subscribed to you.
Have fun this year!
Alex Floyd Thanks, you too!
Where do you find your alarms?
and do you mind watching and commenting on my videos?
***** Today is my birthday.
2:05 I don’t know why but I love the sound of this!
Canadian Simplex 4050: Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh?
That was an interesting test. I really liked how you set up the alarms to be tested individually.

There is an 4050.
I remember the Simplex 4050. The Simplex 4050 scared me to death when I was in Hopkinsville Middle School.
I got a chuckle out of your intro.
system test 28 was the loudest
Now THIS 4030 sounds healthy

Older style AdaptaHorn, before the more recognizable square-ish shaped ones.
Loudest Mini System Test ever!!!
Andrew Carlstedt Watch mini system test 18 and 19.
Code 4 4 4 4 is cool! I also love your panel!
i agree
Why is the other 4030 (the 12 volt one used in mini system test 18 & 19 & System test 28) so much louder
his intro is the one he uses for his new system test videos
Awesome mini system test. If I can make a request could you hook up your wheelock 7002t to your simplex 2001 panel? Thank you

Depends if you have a filter and relay
You should try setting off both 4030's in continuous.
You call this a " mini system"?!?!? My big system is half the size of this one!
I remember being like 13 on DFA and wanting to buy a 2001. It was a huge one though.
Does anyone know where to get a 3 amp 12volt ac transformer?
Ill ship you one if i can

I always though that the alarms choose there own coding, not the panel, or is it different with the newer panels.
Emmire Vargas Some alarms can code themselves, some can't. Pretty much all modern panels can code the alarms. A lot of old panels couldn't. It all depends on how the system is set up.

Yes! Another Loud and Crazy system!!
I was wondering, if you!could send me some alarms like Simplexes or chimes and an old panel?
Nice alarms you got
the simplex/ibm 4030 look cool and scary for me
You could’ve said
Strike Strike Strike Strike because your 4030 sounds like Family Feud!

Were you asking for ear pain? That was about 5 or 6 of the loudest known alarms all I your basement going off at once. Wow.

Found the name for the NATIONAL TIME. It's the NATIONAL TIME C3
You now have two 4030s with different voltages?
I love your test
What was that simplex panel at 3:11?
***** 4003 voice evacuation panel.

What about the cd or this other thing that contains the messages and the tones?
At 1:58 was that a Notifier LNG-1R Pullstation?
You didn’t get rid of the 12 volt 4030 did you?
3678 Edwards horn
I personally think the 4030 sounds the nicest
Coleton Green awesome so do I
Imagine if they all were compatible with 50hz, it would sound cool, wouldn't it?
USE ALL OF THOSE ALARMS FOR YOUR NEW SYSTEM TEST 5
This was the old Simplex 2001 system
Reminds me of one of simplextech's videos
David Stroud the one said “Simplex Fire alarm testing”
Be careful with the 4030 horn because it can be Extremely Loud
5:20 4050 falls over
I keep forgetting that the reason why the national time 411 sounds like an old man getting out of bed is because of the fwr current from the 2001.
Gpexalarm101 Wrong sir, wrong. The 411 is an AC horn - it is not running on the FWR from the 2001 panel at all.
oh. i thought it was dc by mistake. That horn is really raspy when it is coded
you sholud do a new system test 5 with a chime strobe true alert
And as usual you have the 2904-9005.
good description
What about the bell
What happened to code 4-4-4-4? It was so good and now it's rarely used...
I think National horn Edwards
It's odd that the 31T-115 is the only one that has a strobe.
Braden Robison Why is that odd? lol
+The Chatty Commenter ya that's what I'm talking about
Oof
You didn't male the 4030 burp
It sound like duck quaking

ALARMS FOR. YOUR NEW SYSTEM TEST NUMBER 5:

NATIONAL TIME 411

I’m interested In trading one of your fire alarms
I have never sean a bell
Bells in modern fire systems are EXTREMELY rare to find, and even 20-40 years ago they were uncommon. Unless you live in Canada, where you see them everywhere
I have a good question. What happens when you have no coder cards or march time cards in the panel?
It does continuous.
Is it just me or does the Edwards 380 sound like a duck
Yay I am on top comments :)
that fire horn is not loud
We're the horns vibrating the Amseco bell?
Joshua Reardon No, some of the horns have a metal plate inside that makes a ringing noise.
+NewAgeServerAlarm ok. I now have an Edwards 384 and it makes that ringing noise.
