Breaking a Glassplate in a Simplex 2099-9785 Pull Station

[@sirenfreak57]

Nice! These were the early MAPNET versions of the 4251 series from 1991 right before they were discontinued but these were either for the 2120 or for the 4100 Classic or 4100 Legacy.

[@ZakWolf]

Late 80s, actually. Simplex began making the "newer" 2099 pulls in 1991.

[@ZakWolf]

Those older Simplex break-glass pulls had a neat design, with the way the frame flips down after the glass is broken, making it easier to access the lever without worry of broken glass shards. My first elementary school had the conventional 4251-30 version, installed with the building's original Simplex 4208 fire alarm system in 1974. I've also seen several of those older-style break-glass pulls with the much newer Simplex glass panes that just read "BREAK GLASS", too.

Why do fire doors close? Wouldn't it make it harder to evacuate from a fire?

[@mrnorthwestohiodude7758]

That’s what fire doors are designed to do. Most modern fire doors close because they are designed to contain fire for a set time, anywhere from as low as 30 minutes to up to an hour and a half. Most fire doors are designed to open outward in the direction of people evacuating.

[@maddixodaniel4018]

During fire drills my school has one of these pull station but they wouldn’t let me pull one these instead they let me pull the regular simplex 4251-20?

[@deleteddeleted172]

The end I should have known that would happen

[@railroadelevators9258]

It is actually a Simplex 4251-30

[@FireAlarmsandSuch]

Due to the MAPNET card and mounting bracket on the back, it is listed as a 2099-9785

[@nicodo123]

Isn't that a simplex 4251-30?

[@FireAlarmsandSuch]

This is the MAPNET version of it

[@nickm5911]

Awesome video! I liked it

[@victorcloos]

3:09 PARONORMAL ACTIVTY THE DOOR!!

[@railroadelevators9258]

slake y There is an electromagnet connected to the panel which released the door

[@SytenixRBX]

that glass is rare

[@ZakWolf]

That's the glass style used from the 80s until the mid-90s.

[@alyssaleary2534]

Simplex panel has a glass breaker

[@carterkoning1214]

That pull station is a 4251-30

[@ZakWolf]

Nope; it's the addressable version!

[@carterkoning1214]

Then why does it have the old Symplex logo Logo

[@carterkoning1214]

I know it’s conventional

[@ZakWolf]

@@carterkoning1214 Because it's an early addressable Simplex pull station from the late 1980s or very early 1990s. Simplex switched to the newer logo on those pulls in 1991.

[@FireAlarmsandSuch]

This pull station is the same base as the 4251-30, but has a different backplate design to accommodate the MAPNETII card on the back. MAPNETII was the predecessor to Simplex’s IDNET communications line.

[@mgferri]

Did that door just close by itself??

[@CascadiaFA]

Yeah he has a door holder that lets go when an alarm goes kff

[@nicodo123]

I think this is actually a simplex 4251-30

[@FireAlarmsandSuch]

Yes and no. It is the addressable version so it has a different backplate to hold the MAPNET card

[@pleasedont7948]

Neat! I'm new to this hobby, does anyone have any recommendations for a good website to buy cheap alarms and panels? Thanks!

[@FireAlarmsandSuch]

eBay will be your best friend!

[@mariadeliaroblescardenas2578]

Thats the wrong mobel S.E.R SAFETY SAID THE MODEL IS 4251-30?🙄

[@WilmingtonOHProductions]

That's not a 2099-9785 that's a 4251-30

[@WilmingtonOHProductions]

Note: it may be called a 2099-9785 bc it once was addressable from the looks of the back

[@carterkoning1214]

He read the wrong model number

[@evanbart4109]

Great video 😀👍👍

[@West_Kootenay_railfan]

Is that a 4251 30 ???

[@ZakWolf]

It's the addressable version.

nice

[@kadenr6]

First try, nice!

[@iatif1995]

That'd a 4251-30 Not a 2099

[@harri7773]

nope, it’s addressable

[@greatdanelover4461]

The simplex truealert fire alarm is not even loud

[@ShockValue500]

Well that’s because the alarms sounding are not Truealerts, they are Gentex Commander 2s or 3s, which are still loud but not as loud as the Truealert.
