The 2903-9002 (The one you are using) was designed for bells. Particularly the 2901-9333 10” Bell

[@BlackLightning4547]

It's actually a 2903-9102, surface mount strobe plate. The 9002 is the light plate variant. 9101 - flush mount strobe plate, 9001 - flush mount light plate

[@jorgeburgos3405]

The Wheelock EHS sounds like a simplex truealert

[@BlackLightning4547]

Not the first time I've heard that

[@jdrs4214]

If they were all mechanical horns, and set to continuous, instead of having these new crickets on steroids, the fire alarm system would sound lovely, scarier, harmonious, and bring back the good old days of my childhoods 80’s and 90s school days. Good video tho; and understandable, that those old Simplex horns are hard to come by.

[@BlackLightning4547]

Thank you. Yeah, the evolution of fire alarms and fire alarm systems is mindboggling. Going from AC mechanical horns and bells, to DC mechanical/electro-mechanical horns and bells, to electronic horns, to piezoelectric horns, to speakers. Also went from unsynchronized non-ADA 1.5cd(or less)strobes to ADA synchronized multi-candela(capable of 185cd)strobes; an open-close circuit, to conventional FACPs to intelligent/addressable FACPs. Yes, we all know that old-school was the best time of fire alarms as they were built with higher quality, sounded amazing together, cooler looking, and now hard to come by nowadays.

[@RJARRRPCGP]

The Wheelock AES-DL1-RH-24-VFR is much like a True Alert in sound.

[@BlackLightning4547]

Quite similar

[@Turbo-guy-alex]

The background in the bottom right looks like a wheelock rss-24mcw eating chicken for dinner.

[@BlackLightning4547]

Yes, it's fried chicken on a RSS, it's an inside joke as someone commented that I should mount fried chicken on a RSS on a requested system test video.

That amseco sounds like a simplex 9838

[@BlackLightning4547]

I'll say, and it's hard to explain, but the Amseco BZ-51-PC2 is not as harsh or bold on how it delivers its sound compared to the Simplex 2901-9838 mechanical horn. They're different but similar

[@BlackLightning4547]

To me actually, it has a hint of a Wheelock 34-24 sound to it

I love your vids

[@BlackLightning4547]

Thank you, glad you like 'em

[@jewelofortune]

My 5 year old watches your videos. I now have random alarms, strobe, pull stations in my house. I have to figure out how to set it up.

[@BlackLightning4547]

That's awesome! It's pretty simple to setup. You'll need some wiring(preferably 18 gage, solid or stranded works) to connect the devices with and a power source to power them. The power source can be an AC to DC wall adapter, three 9 volt batteries put in series, or a power supply. I'm assuming the alarms used are 24 volts DC, so you want to get a power source that provides that. Depending on how many alarms there are, and the kind of horn strobes(mechanical, electronic, etc.), the 9 volt batteries may not be sufficient for the task due to their low amperage, plus you'll have to get new ones overtime as they get used, so a wall adapter or power supply is your best bet. Now, as far as wiring, here's a video that I did years ago of how to wire a pullstation to an alarm. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGOklGyLbcZrmpo Hope this is enough information for you to get started, please comment here if you have anymore questions.

@@BlackLightning4547 yay :D

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

That sounds like safetech's fire alarm test 62! Although you got the same pitches, but different horns. There were the same pitches and 4051 horns. And the electronic horn was a wheelock AS set in code 3 while the rest were in continuous. The EHS-DL1 doesn't have a jumper for code 3 or continuous probably.

[@BlackLightning4547]

The Faraday 6020 IS lower pitched than the BZ-51-PC2 and the AES-DL1-RH-24-VFR cannot be self-coded, but that's cool though

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

@@BlackLightning4547 yeah you have a cooler system! I didn't know that an AES-DL1-RH-24-VFR can't be coded. I was correct on my guess though. And the alarm in the hallway looks old. Did you get that in an antique store? Oh and btw i might get a wheelock MT-24-LSM. And i wonder what the LSM stands for

[@BlackLightning4547]

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL Thank you, and the cool thing about the AES-DL1-RH-24-VFR is not only that it has 3 tones, but it can be switched from 4-wire to 2-wire on the fly by a dip switch, and it also has a high and low volume control too. The alarm in the hallway was bought from Ebay and it originally had a Wheelock AES-EL1 3-tone surface mount horn behind the plate but that stopped working for some reason. I have a Wheelock MT-24-LSM(rebranded by Cerberus Pyrotronics) LSM might mean Lens Strobe Modern basically Modern Strobe Lens but backwards

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

@@BlackLightning4547 oh i think if u have an MT rebranded by Pyrotronics, did you do all tones on it for a video? I think i saw it. And it seems like you work for a fire alarm technician. Oh and what are the 3 tones of a Wheelock AES-DL1-RH-24-VFR?

[@BlackLightning4547]

@@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL I don't know if I particularly made a video of that alarm but I know I did an all tones test on my Wheelock MT-24-MCW which has the same tones as the MT-24-LSM.

Im terrified of fire alarms how can u live with them

[@BlackLightning4547]

I used to be the same way in elementary school, but now I'm not because first of all, they're not loud to me anymore, secondly, I find them quite interesting

[@Mostignoredvideos]

Yoo same

[@BlackLightning4547]

Fire alarms are nothing to be scared of. Sure, some can be very loud, but that's the point. The point is to notify you effectively that's there's a fire emergency in the building and that you should evacuate. My suggestion is to listen to fire alarm videos on low volume, then slowly build up, and/or, purchase one. Start with a strobe, then a chime strobe or speaker strobe, then a horn strobe or bell strobe. Get comfortable and get a feel for it, and who knows, you might find it interesting.
