Field Work - Elementary School Fire Alarm Test with Simplex Horns on Strobe Plates
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- The system was fairly recently upgraded from a 4002 to a 4100U, which also added some IDNet devices in a small portion of the building, but the rest is all zoned out unfortunately. There is a couple TrueAlerts in the system, some of the 4903s as well, but mostly horn and light plates. Too many model numbers to list, though there is a System Sensor MASS in the system! Very interesting system!

That is the most amazing-sounding system I've ever heard.
True! So true!
agreed
At 3:06, I finally realized how MASSive the horn variety was! XD
1:45 All those horns in harmony....sounds so good
IKR. I wish my school had this system.
@@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign you were so mean to me so I permanent blocked you for the rest of my life
@@Davesand2003 what
1:16 It sounds like the Carter Air Raid Siren!
Ahhhhhh.....This is what a simplex system should sound like.
I agree. I miss this sound...
I love how they all harmonize with each other
Then there's 2:35 lmao
It sounds like fabric violently being ripped.
1:14 Sounds Like Going To Heaven
Nice😀👍👍
1:31 the old alarms at my high school
2:36 sound grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
My elementary school had a very very weird combination of alarms in it
in the front there was one spectralert classic, 2 bg6 pull stations, a gentex SHG 1st gen on continous, 3 wheelock 7002ts
and 4 est siga 278 pull stations
in the back of the school there was just spectralerts and bg-12L pull stations, and then in the pre school there was spectralerts and est siga 278 pull stations, bg 12 pull stations in the trailers and spectralerts, and ONE gentex commander 3rd generation outside and then on the front of the school there was a weathered, broken spectralert classic that would make only a very quiet clicking sound when activated
2:38 that is the perfect pitch
Was that a gray Federal Signal Vibratone 450D in the boiler room (I saw those monster pumps, like the Vermont Achievement Center school boilers) at 3:35 ?
It's probably the usual '9806... (I would only expect it to be gray on that setup, if it's actually a new purchase in this century or sometime in the 1990s...)
Federal Signal made them as general-signalling only, in the 2000s and/or sometime in the 1990s...)
Imagine what would it be like if it was just 2901 9846s and 2901 9838s combo
I always wonder what is field work
I had those fire alarms at my pre school in the 1990's. Heard them go off almost every week in my classroom and I didn't like it.
What a choir
Did I hear a System Sensor MASS or MAHE at one point in the video?
1:13 okay but like the harmonization is insanely awesome
Cool system! 2:36 That 9805 horn sounds very bad. Also, why are they using a ceiling mount strobe plate on the wall?
2:36 That one doesn't sound well
Trevor L. You’re right it doesn’t
Zachary Fleck yes sir!
It sounds out of date that must have been the first fire alarm the put in
My school has those. They are 4901-9805s, installed in 1995. The thing with my school is that it has been added onto, all of the additions sporting truealerts, although the first addition has very early truealerts.
For 2:36 , that's one of the latest ones in the building!
Nice shoes you have
Very cool!
Sounds like a choir, and only one of them has the sore throat.
0:10 When you go through an emergency exit at an airport.
My school has high pitched beaping inside with strobe lights and low piched beeping outside that you can hear at least 4 miles away
In some schools, the only way to tell the fire system is in alarm is that everyone is outside.
I miss one of those horns going off
3:06-3:15 Never heard a simplex fire alarm go that high pitched before
Its a system sensor mass
@@refve8105 Oh OK
What elementary school is this? And where is it located at?
Could someone pls answer this question, why are some alarms higher pitched than others?
BeatDropperYT older horns die out and become obsolete, newer ones sound different and take their place, ....and on and on it goes. That is until school administrators, or the school board decide to overhaul the entire old system, and start over with a fresh new (code compliant) fire alarm system. (panel, new wires, detectors, pull stations, and horn/strobes.)
2:40 the fire alarm is the same at my school and sounds like it
I hear a couple that sound like they are dying
Fire alarm test in Elementary school we have a simplex 4100u control panel in the basement of the school fire alarms electronic horn strobes simplex truealerts on continuous simplex 4903 strobe plates with Electricmechanical horns strobes 2 we have 2 simplex 2901-9838s horns and we have 5 simplex 2901-9806s horns and we have 1 simplex 4901-9805 horn Sounds raspy and have a 3 simplex 2901-9846s horns sounds like a simplex 4903-9219 2 of thame and we have a simplex 4903-9219 horn strobes and there must be System sensor mass on a system remot strobes simplex truealert remot strobes The last is the basement simplex truealert on continuous and simplex 4903-9101 strobe plate with a simplex 2901-9806 horn
What model is the first alarm
Are there horn strobes in the bathrooms
Yup. More common than you'd think.
@@TheFirePanel most places around my area has horn strobes in the bathrooms
@@kyleholmesWROM589 You mean remote strobes?
I noticed that the strobe plate with the dying 4901 horn, if you look closely, the “FIRE” lettering under the strobe is upside down. It seems that they mounted a ceiling mount strobe plate on the wall #whatafirealarmfail
You had one job Fire-alarm creator, and you failed miserably. XD
as long as we know it's not possessed
0:12 when u take a huge fart and U can’t control it
What codes is it on
Nice video cool
Wheel lock AS and true alerts
Sorry 3 9838s
Lowkey sounds like a ps3 start up
2:35 that’s the worst
2:45 1 problem
1:30 1 problem
Horns put on sideways.
Horns are actually okay to mount sideways, they don't throw the sound in a particular direction, so it's not anything that is a write up or anything.
Thanks man
First one sounds like violin
1:48 Second Coming Of Jesus
Did I hear a System Sensor MASS in there?
Walter G Broadnax III when several of those MASS System Sensor horns set to low-tone continuous go off at the same time, it makes for a scary, loud, fire alarm. In fact, those are the scariest sounding fire alarms I’ve ever heard, when set like that.
Yeah
Omg! I love how the hallway at time mark 1:16 all harmonize together!!!
Nope. I’m cool. Thank you for using OnStar.
1:15 ah, the beautiful harmony of Simplex horns...
EXACTLY
Christian Oshiro THAT IS CORRECT
I think that they were federal signal horns
@@odinconnor-randomvideos5267 idk
Until 2:35
Yes in simplex alarm fire is sure old system 2:35
1:15 the whole fire alarms are making a medley
I like the older alarms in this system great video
2:36 Two problems:
Ceiling mount on wall
Very scratchy horn
(At least it outputs proper candela)
That Is My Fire Alarm In This Video And I Am Doing A Fire Drill My Name Is South Africa
2:35 this is what all my mechanical horns sounds like
I used to jump so bad back in elementary school because of those simplex horns. They always seemed to go off on me while I was walking in the hallway alone lol. Brings back memories.
Hey, Zachary Fleck! What Location Is This?
So... They actually use continuous?
Common in old buildings, yes.
Great vid!
Safe tech omg I love this guy also Zachary flech
2:35 now that is funny
Love the variety of the horns, although, one can be heard sounding very hoarse!
Nice!
I love those alarms they sound great
The simplex 4903-9105 4903 horn is sick
Wow! Nice rendition of Simplex's Symphony No.4 in G! Lovely Crescendos, Diminuendos, harmonizing, everything is perfect, even the Dischord and Cacophony movement at 2:31 !
aaahhh. Simplex harmony. Exept for the horn at 2:35. It sounded like it's dying out. :(
No. tell them that they should replace it with another mechanical horn. An electronic one would go horribly with the mechanical horns. Trust me. My school has 9838s and TrueAlerts. Not the best combo.
... ... ..... I see. It's, really unfortunate that it has to be a TrueAlert or something like that. But, hey. At least things will work again...
Or since the strobe is still working and is ADA-compliant, they could remove the dying 4901-9805 horn and out in a 4901-9822 electronic horn, which uses the same body as the -9805 but is electronic (it used to use the same sounder as the 90s electronic 4903 horn/strobes, but now uses the same sounder as the TrueAlert.)
wileyk209zback, agreed. They should.
Ahhh. Those sounds take me back. The nurse at my elementary school said to me when I was like 6 or 7, that the fire alarm drills are only when she picks her nose. And THOSE or THOSE alarms were fucking loud as fuck man. Now these bells and whistles, swear to god thought I would go deaf. Bleeding Christ
The way the alarms harmonize! I love it!
I know right 🙏🏽😁
I suspected at 3:10 that a System Sensor MA was in a Simplex 4903 or 2903, to replace a dead horn...
Well, in 1998, maybe 1999 or 1997, IIRC, at Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center, (Greenfield, NH and on Wikipedia) next to the gym, one of the '9833s died and a System Sensor MA took its place in the same Simplex 2903-9xxx (probably 2903-9101) strobe plate... (In the Pierce building, which also has the swimming pools)
1:15 this why I love older simplex systems. Wished that newer alarms had Harmony.
Well the Wheelock NS and Gentex Commander 3 on continuous does
Why is it that some fire alarms look and sometimes sound evil?
I love it how theres so much harmony in the system, and then there's 2:35
Nobody:
Alarm at 2:35: KHHHHHHHHH...
That fire alarms can't sing
If you’re wondering about the alarms here it is
Simplex 4903-9215/-9217/-9219
Simplex Truealerts
Simplex 2901-9806s on 4903-9101s
Simplex 2901-9838s on 4903-9101s
Simplex 4901-9805 on a 4903-9101
Simplex 4901-9805 on a 4903-9104 (ceiling mount model)
System sensor MASS or MA on a 4903-9101
That mass could just be a ada mass
@@andrewedwards2416It may even be a Non-ADA Mass or just a standalone horn. The TrueAlerts have a model number of 4903-9425/9426/9427. The ceiling strobe plate actually looks to me a 4903-9105.
Those alarms need fixed
1:13 Harmony starts
That is the most amazing-sounding system I've ever heard
I just had a fire drill today and it sounded like that but with 9838s
The old and the new fire alarm horns sound like a horror movie when they make echoing noises especially the old Simplex mechanical horn on the 4906 (I think) strobe light plate. Also, I didn’t see the System Sensor Mass. Was the System Sensor Mass a horn/strobe or remote horn? But, don’t take my word for what I am asking. Thank you for serving the fire alarm community by testing the fire alarm systems everywhere! Keep up the good work Fire Alarm Tech!
Interesting system...... A lot of mix and match alarm devices. Most alarms look to be Simplex Mechanical horn/strobes or lights. Definitely a nice variety.
I love the mix and match sounds
Ahh, the Simple Horn fire alarm. Takes me back to good ol memories from Elementary school. Not the whistles the have today. oye
At 2:05, what alarm is that?
Federal signal vibratone
WOW! TrueAlerts and 2901-9838's Together! My favorite and second favorite alarms on 1 system! COOL!
I think 2901 9846s and 2901 9838s together would be better
3:45 epic
Gotta love a good Simplex system.
I love how there's a random mass lol
I heard a System Sensor MASS somewhere in there
some of them like a bunch of badly tuned violins
Cool
At my old elementary school there is Simplex 4903s (both 9105 and the one shown at the beginning of the video), Simplex TrueAlert Horn Strobes, and Simplex TrueAlert Speaker Strobes.
At my high school there is 4903 and they are speaker strobes and there is also a true alert speaker strobes and A few system sensor speaker strobes and they installed one set geniuses horn strobe
@@aidans7376 That’s cool. Your lucky, because my high school has Wheelock 7002Ts and they are so obnoxiously loud
1:42 Penguins goal horn
Those alarms are a little too loud for an elementary school
Does anyone know why the 4901-9805 horns sound so bad almost all the time?
My building has 100 2903 Simplex fire alarms, I posted a video on my channel if anyone wants to see.
2:40 that 2901-9838 sounds like heaven
That 9838 sounds like a 4903 9219
so, here's what the school has:
Simplex 4903-9219's
Simplex 2901-9806's
Simplex 2901-9838's
a very scratchy 4901-9805
System Sensor MASS Set on 800Hz
Simplex Truealerts on Continuous
That 4901-9805 is likely on a Simplex 4903-9105 strobe plate. The rest are 4903-9101s.
My elementary school sounded like this but it was 4903 9102 and 9838s on March time
Some Kids think the sound of fire alarms can be loud and very scary right?
:) like harmony
I think in some parts of my old Kindergarten School in Lake Street, MN, the alarm in the beginning was in some locations, particularly the entrance.
