My elementary school had those same horns on continuous -- and I remember thinking the same thing during fire drills as a kid. Each one sounded "different" .... some higher pitched than others. Haha!
@@Gentex_Commander_2 u def have a point there. My middle school used to have a mix of Standard 4-350's behind Standard light plates and Standard 30A's. That system was on Continuous and sounded pretty ominous and VERY loud, especially the 30A's
I have kind of a soft spot for those Federal "soldiers" cuz those are the type I had in my elementary school (which at the time was a brand new building). Always thought those things on continuous sounded like a basketball horn. It's like "is the building on fire or is the period over???" :)
The Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center school cafeteria has (or had) the "stereotypical basketball horns" installed on Simplex 2903-9101 strobes (they're the 2901-9806, often known as '9806) with a Simplex 2001 FACP without a march time module and thus was in continuous. A '9806 outside my first classroom there!
Those were the same type of horns an apartment building I lived in as a kid had but they were in continuous and no strobe. Very loud and pretty much impossible to sleep through.
Hmm... I just noticed the VALS at 2:15 has ceiling-mount decals... And, at 4:12, noticed somebody didn't know how to spell "fourth"... Oh, the things you discover when re-watching a good video.
Reminds me of an old RU-vid video where there were similar horns going off in fast march time in the background. Sadly, I think the video got taken down recently (before this comment was made).
This system is outstanding. I do wish that this system was a notifier system set on continuous. Also. Can the EST gensis do continuous. I mostly see them on code 3. Love all ur videos
Zachary Fleck: ok. And question... is it rare to see SpectrAlert advances in continuous. The Therapeutic campus i go to for Trainning For a potential job, they have a New contract with System Sensor and they finished this building in 2016. This Child protective services agency(name can't be given out due to Illinois child protective laws), originally had a contract with Simplex, and simplex offered them ADA compliant strobe plates and strobes, They gave us options, The panel they offered was a Simplex 4100ES, and they even let us choose the devices, they offered the Truealert series, and they Was going to go for the last offer, but they involved the 4903/4901 series. Originally, from what i was told, they were going to install the Simplex 4903-9217 horn devices, but the building managers Said they did not want Electromechincal horns again as they had problems with them in the old campus and they had older 2903/2901/9002 devices, which were coded on March time and the horns died out(yeah... the old campus was 110 years old). So, they gained a contract with System Sensor, and the new campus has All System Sensor P2R(2nd generation) horns with HID card readers equipped with active intruder protection. The panel was a Notifier NFS-320 panel. Signal code is Continuous with 15 cd strobes, is this rare. Cuz i felt like it was when i first heard them. I also forgot to mention... the pull stations are Notifier BG12(The Honeywell version-New pulls)
Question. Does Simplex still Make the 4903/4901 series devices. I had saw a new building with Simplex 4903-9217(of course.. i live in Chicago and we house SimplexGrinnell in Addison IL. So we are Known for Mostly All Simplex devices here:) answers will be greatly accepted
I also live in Illinois and most of the schools I’ve been are TrueAlerts Horn/Strobes. All I’ve know is they do fix any 4903 devices but I don’t think they make them anymore.
Me to my middle school and high school need mechanical horns badly zns are not loud same with wheelock as a 9838 with 4903 9102s would be better than those and have them on march time. I wished up to date code was March time not code 3
Zachary Fleck It’s rare because it’s not a stock option. Customer has to request a red can, otherwise they come in standard white or beige. The 4002, 4004, and 4005 all had a red cabinet option but it is less commonly seen because it had to be requested by the customer specifically rather than the red can being offered as a stock option.
Pair these Electro-Mechanical Horn-Strobes with Older Edwards 270 Pull stations then you’ve got my dream system that i wish is in my school and high school :3
03:55 To 04:31 The Simplex 4002 panel buzzer in March Time sounds like the Simplex 2901-9838 with 2903-9001 light plate in March Time from this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VkCDbZMfLxE.html Also another thing too is that the panel in both videos (In this video and in the link are Simplex 4002 panels which is a coincidence)
Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uTBQF4kjt-g.html Turns out I was just remembering the horns, the place looks completely different. My mistake
I'm not overly familiar with the 4005, but see if this helps you out: www.thealarmtech.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1772 (disclaimer, I'm not affiliated with this site.)
i like thes horns better than most alarms now these days good old mechanical horns sound good and if i heard one near by i would say whoes playing with A DUCK because the sound of it
