10:37 - When I first watch this, I was not expecting that alarm to be a 4901-9822 electronic horn (I had assumed it was a 4903 series electronic horn/strobe). Also, that part of the school building (where the pull station was) reminds me of one of the stairway exits at my middle school.

It’s an interesting looking one and it’s really cool to see work btw my advice is to use headphones or something when there’s a test at your school so it doesn’t damage your hearing

[@joepho5148]

Wow. That just took me back to preschool (I'm 24 now). I hate fire alarms (being startled by them at least) and I remember the rush of anxiety any time I had to walk past those dual horns in the hallway. We used to run past them in the fear they'd go off, haha. They were effective as we used to hear them from our rowdy preschool classroom.

[@ZakWolf]

@@alexandersalarms5380 Yeah, that's what I hear, but I like them anyways. I recall the Simplex 4001 panel had FWR output, and was likely their only panel to do so. But I am aware of how FWR output can make electromechanical horns sound kind of raspy, like the Student Center at my college when they still had some of the original Standard Electric Time 450 horns in use; they had a fairly raspy sound due to running off a Notifier AFP-200 panel, which used FWR output.

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

When I was little, I was at a summer camp where there was a kid who pulled the alarms literally every other day. They had all of these same alarms from what I could tell from the sound.

[@valrabellkeys9867]

Judging by the way you are testing each pull by sounding and silencing the system, there was no walk mode feature on this panel?

[@safetech]

Valtonus There was however I had multiple areas to cover within the facility therefore I needed it to sound for longer periods.

The sound isn't as bad as how dark that room is. You've kinda led me to a nightmare I had one time. Combine that alarm from 1:33 with the darkness of the room at 8:52 and you'll actually witness my nightmare. I have a bad phobia of certain set-frequency alarms. The rest of the lower frequency alarms just irritate me, which I'd rather have and listen to a trillion times over total fear of what sounds like many screeches and howls of demons and angry lost souls wanting to attack me in a taunting rhythm.

Im guessing this system is exact to my elementary schools. Retrofitted 4100, 2901-9838s 4903-9101s, 2098-9201s on the mapnet base, and mapnet 4251s. The school also has an addition with true alerts but they're set to continues. The annunciator was a 4602-9102

[@GaryBeltz]

Why were the TrueAlerts in the one section doing code-3/temporal 3 while the rest of the system was in continuous?

[@trainerred2063]

Gary Beltz those TrueAlerts were on a smartsync circuit, while I assume the one in the middle of all the 4903/2901s was free run.

[@safetech]

trainerred206 You are correct. NFPA 72 dictates a temporal (code 3) signaling pattern. These were in a new addition recently added to the school therefore the notification appliances in this area needed to reflect current code.

[@kylelundmark7897]

Go find out

[@firealarmveteran15]

Better answer: The TrueAlerts doing code-3 are SmartSync TrueAlerts wired to the SmartSync circuit, whereas the TrueAlerts doing continuous were 4-wire TrueAlerts, which were wired to the same circuit as the older horns.

[@ZakWolf]

Reminds me of the Student Union at my college, which has a Notifier AFP-200 system. The areas renovated in 2013-2014 have SpectrAlert Advance horn/strobes that do Code 3, while the rest of the building has older electromechanical horns (Standard 450s with 90s-style Faraday strobes added, a few Faraday U-HN-MCSs and a Simplex 2901-9833 horn on a 2903 light plate) that sound on Continuous. Many of the other buildings had fire alarm system upgrades (mostly Notifier and a bit of Fire-Lite) that all do Code 3 now (SpectrAlert Advances and Wheelock Exceders.)

[@andrewriel2321]

0:40 Those were the fire alarms i had at my old elementary school, and they were also on continuous mode! My school didn’t have that type of fire alarm at 1:02. Few years ago, my elementary school did some remodeling when I was in middle school.

Nope, wrong. Those pull stations are 2099-9784 addressable pull stations. They’re not 4251-20s

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

There are both 2 Wire SmartSync and 4 Wire Free Run TrueAlert Horn Strobes in this building, quite interestingly. Hence the different pitches and coding options.
