So white 2903s are real??? I made a model out of one ages ago and used it on a homemade system and all that time until now I thought 2903 light/strobe plates only came in red. Good to know that I learn new stuff everyday
Quite the Frankenstein system. I guess that's what happens when a building does upgrades bit by bit instead of one massive upgrade. That and when the programming is suboptimal
2:44: If somebody stands in that position, I think the horns would sound like one chord, like, a mix of different notes put together or something. Idk. If they don’t mention (Idk) the screeching alarm that is currently doing a “Code-3”. I think.
Very cool White 2903s! Why put a bright Wheelock AS on some? They're still kind of cool though. I think I also heard a Wheelock NS or System Sensor SpectrAlert Classic and Gentex Commander 2 or 3
You sort of answered your own question: because ASes have strobes that are far brighter than those on 2903-series strobe plates & thus meet current ADA requirements for brightness.
@@TheCarson116 Yeah for sure. These Wheelock AS horn strobes were even set on 110CD (according to the pictures) which is super bright! It's still pretty bright on 75CD.
@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 Honestly I'd say that modern fire alarm strobes are plenty bright on just 15CD! Keep in mind though that not all of them may have been set on that candela: there are specific candela settings for specific applications & locations.
@@TheCarson116 Yeah, it is plenty bright on 15CD, it's just kind of hard to see the strobe from far away in a large room at that setting. It's also very hard to see if say the alarm was mounted way too high above the ground. It's probably still plenty of light at 30CD.
I dont understand. Why did they replace half the system with wheelock crap and not truealerts. Would sound alot better. Or would also work with est genesis
see theres this thing called a distributorship and in this case the company that one the bid for the replacement had a wheelock distributorship and used what wheelock had at the time which was the AS
Looks like you are the new SafeTech then when it comes to doing inspection videos since I am pretty sure he isn't gonna post his videos anymore since it's been a while but it is what it is. Any chance you could go back to that school with the 4051s and do a more in-depth video of it with the horns in full alarm rather than them just being in test mode and go around the school? No? Worth a shot.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a color mix before, like… red speaker-strobe fire alarms being placed onto white strobe-only plates… I mean… who even does that… I think it’s interesting… or something… Idk. Also, I think you mean “Truly”. Idk.
Definitely a very interesting system retrofit. No idea why they have two big panels for just covering one wing per panel or why they decided to paint the 2903 plates white. As for the panel situation, why was a silent knight panel installed when a 4100ES was there and perfectly capable of handling everything? Was a different company there at one point? Was it supposed to be the real master panel and the 4100ES was just installed as the school switched providers? Also, i refuse to believe simplex retrofitted that system. Simplex forces anyone who wants to be a tech for them to get factory training for the hardware and programmer.
sounds like a beautiful official soundtrack to a movie around 2:23 up to 3:00
Cool Simplex 2903s with Wheelock AS and Simplex 9806 and a Gentex Commander that's so sad some strobes are'nt working

@@cherryhuang2626 Thank you

oh my white 2903s are incredibly rare
My school has them, should I grab them before they destroy the school ? It’s abandoned but I went as a child
Very good video like always but this time a wheelock system that rare in the canada so i really enjoy it
Heck of a system right there! I sure hope all the devices _(especially_ the 4050-80-series & 2903-series plates) are saved someday.
6:17 Simplex 2901-9806 that really sounds like Simplex 2901-9838
I hope somebody fixes up the 4050-80 instead of replacing it entirely. Congrats on finding white 2903s btw!

Great system I prefer the old horns
2:37 what smoke detector was that?
An old fenwall one that’s probably rebranded by simplex. I regret not recording the testing of those

@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 Exactly why modern alarms are multi-candela: in some cases the strobe has to be brighter than just 15CD.
Alarms:
Simplex 2901-9806's
Wheelock AS's
Simplex 4051 (heard but not seen)
Gentex Commander 3
Wheelock NS or HSR
Or maybe a ZNS
Where Wheelock MT?
6:33 was the strobe even flashing?
Yea it was very slow and my camera missed it like 3 times lol
Strobe is very dim and unnoticeable.
this system seen better days
Where is wheelock NS? 2:55
And Gextex fire alarm 3:25
White 2903 light or strobe plates? Pretty rare!
Looks like they are the older "B2" version. Looks like the older version at 6:08.
Some of these damn things would wake the fkn dead!!!!! May not be installed right but the noise alone holy fk
Are those 2903’s “ factory painted “ like the 2902’s?
Ye
@@FourtyFiftyEighty oh my! Imagine if you saved those
7:15 he has one in his hand.
Hmm, a retrofit plate would do wonders instead of the old 2903s what do you say bogi?
I think I heard either an NS/Exeeder or maybe a spectralert classic there. 3:10
And then after that was a Gentex Commander?
I swore one of the alarms is from the Gentex commander series, either the commander 2, 3 or 4.
There were a few commander 4s in the weight room
white 2903s...... interesting

@@FourtyFiftyEighty kinda makes sense
Ik fix the 80 and horn new bulb and turn nut on horn and 4903 9102s are the best
whoever programmed that 4100es should be FIRED!
What did the dead fire alarms get replaced by
Wheelock AS's.
My school has the same system but with the as horn strobes
Factory painted by Simplex

Cool
Why are some on continuous and some on code 3?
I think the panel was set to continuous. Some alarms were self coding themselves to code 3.
Yikes… they completely roached that 2001.
interesting
when installers forgot horn only alarms exist..
Where Wheelock MT?
Wheelock as retrofits.. WHY
Bro found the vid early. Congrats lol
Hello @@FourtyFiftyEighty
Thx to your Rare fire alarm playlist
I found this
Programmed by Chris Dyman
😂

What the f*** how’s the fire alarm go dead?💀
44 minutes early😮
cool system, too bad the programming is horrible

Yknow, I might buy myself one of these, and spray paint the whole thing green and sell it on eBay for 1200. I think it will sell eh?
someones gotta reorogram the pannel
Did not pass inspection.
i garentee many work but just need new wires
Hi I’m late
I wish I'd would work
I guess is needed a new strobe light
That's sad
System looks poorly installed and programmed
What the f***😡
