System Test 28: AC Devices! 

Do a 28.1 with a true alert on 60 bpm and 4050s on 90 bpm

@@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440 I can only do one coding pattern at a time

@@FrostedStrobes oh 90 bpm plz

Yea I am starting a fire alarm sitcom testing

Soon

For sure! That's a lot of the vibe I was going for, definitely seems like an alarm out of an action movie xD

If I was his neighbor I'd be hoping for a new video so often.

His neighbors are far away so they cannot hear it, but they can see it

your funny. cause this is true.

Naturally I didn't mean for my system test 28 and his to be similar, that's just how things lined up I suppose. At any rate, I'm glad to have it done now Lol

I always want to make sure everyone really gets to see and hear the acoustics of each room, especially on mechanical horns! Also thank you :D

​​@@FrostedStrobesYEAH!❤❤❤

OMG, YES!❤❤❤❤ (11:16)

They’re in my top 5

Thank you! Definitely plan on continuing (haha), a lot of plans for the hopefully not-too-far future.

Thank you

Gay comment. 👇

Agree!❤❤❤

Are you a furry? If so, I'm so happy to meet another furry that likes fire alarms

@@soggypotatochip Yes! I’m a furry

Easily one of mine too, they sound so angry xD

@@FrostedStrobes Yea, especially when it has the 4050-80 light plate on it.

@@FrostedStrobes they actually mean SCRAM!

@@FrostedStrobes that’s why I love them too

Things are going well! I wish I could work faster but I don't have a lot of money to go around Lol

@@FrostedStrobes money gets in the way of things, but it will calm down eventually

Thanks! I'm very pleased with how everything came out

Right? I like how it descends in pitch, really neat.

Nope, the 4050s came from Wisconsin.

The one NewAgeServerAlarm used in ST28 was actually a 4051 but he took the diode and capacitor off to make it a 4050…

TRUE.

Heck yeah, frosted lights are cool, I'll take it xD I would love to use 4-4 on electronic horns more since literally nobody does that for some reason Lol also System Test 26 will be coming out sometime around 2091

@@FrostedStrobes Omg hearing 4-4 on unusual devices like something a MT on bell/siren/slow whoop/march time would be wacky, same with a 7002 series device. Also you never see vibrating bells on 4-4 code. I'm excited to see what you end up doing. Also ayyy 2091 isn't THAT far away lmao. It'll be worth it.

I do have a separate channel for EAS logging: ru-vid.com/show-UCVd23wSurtwkN6zoGiUUM6g I haven't uploaded in a while though, thinking about starting it back up again, but I just haven't had the motivation.

I used a 24vDC relay, powered by the panel's horn NAC, with a 20vAC power supply running through the contacts (the 4050s are 12vAC, but they should be fine since there's four of them). Be very careful not to get anything mixed up, that's how you end up with broken alarms. Essentially the same with the lights, only difference is each relay is located at the base of the lights (except upstairs, where it's positioned between the two since I bought one fewer relays than I ended up needing). The golden rule that I have followed from the beginning is that anything and everything can be fixed or rigged to work using relays.

(Remote light)

Thanks! I love the badass vibe too, those mid 20th century systems really knew how to scare people out of buildings Lol

😂😂

❤❤❤

Glad to hear 4050s still float around in the real world! Very cool system in that video, I had originally intended to get dual projectors for mine as well, just didn't end up happening Lol I bought them from some random eBay seller, I don't know if they have any roots in the community or not though.

@@FrostedStrobes You were trying to imitate my high school? You would've needed more 70s 4251-20s 4255s and a 4240 series panel.

Wasn't trying to imitate your high school in particular, just vintage systems with big red lights and aggressive AC horns in general. Especially since I can't afford any of that stuff Lol

@@FrostedStrobes Sorry for the late reply. My high school may be demolished in a few years. I now go to a high school on the west side of Akron, which is more up-to-date. The fire alarm system will be going to a fire museum; I may be getting that painted over signal setup by door #7 and the broken 4050 in the basketball locker room. Yes, I did share that video with old school fire alarms. I can't afford any vintage fire alarm hardware either as I'm a broke high school junior

Thanks! :D

@@FrostedStrobes your very welcome

I'm getting Whelen.

Definitely, I'm a big fan of the aggressive vibe of AC horns!

No swearing

Being patient is the only real advice I can think of. If you get too excited and blow all your money on an overpriced fire alarm (which, it would seem, there's a lot of nowadays), you end up missing out when it shows up again three months later for half the price. You overpay for one alarm, you can't afford other alarms.

The wall-mounted ones are Lithonia Lighting VW150I M12 lights. The ceiling mounted one by the garage door is whatever equivalent to that is currently available at Lowes, and the one by the panel is actually one that was already installed in the house.

Thanks :D

Because I've been given the legal right to do so.

He needs an Amplifier to do that. plus, He doesn't even have any speaker/strobes.

I actually do have plenty of speakers I can use, along with plenty of amplifiers. What I don't have currently is the circuitry for voice evac but perhaps that can be in the playbook soon!

Aiming for the March/April window at the moment, will have to see how that develops though

It shouuuuld be out by the end of the month, but I'll have to see if I can actually afford the materials for it first.

SAME HERE WOOOO!

The only thing that is missing now is the loud 4030 Also funnily enough in NewAgeServerAlarm’s OG system test 28, the march time actually perfectly matches the one in this video

Unfortunately I cannot do that as I no longer own the WGMS. System Test 29 is going to have a wheelock-centric theme, but with electronic horns rather than mechanical.

@@FrostedStrobes okay that sounds fun did you know that there's a Wheelock 7001t & 7001t-24

@@Noahcastaneda8862 I have heard of those! I actually do have a 7001t-24, but I need to replace the horn, if I get around to that I may find a spot for it in system test 29.

@@FrostedStrobes place the Wheelock 7001t-24 where the stairs is

@@FrostedStrobes oh do you have to fix it is the horn broken or what after you completely fix the horn make sure to put it in the system test 29

That was completely unintentional.
