Fire Alarm Test #49

Wow I never realized Simplex had chime versions for most of its series

Yes, they mostly do. But I think the chimes in the old building are CH70-24-Rs.

[@alexandersalarms5380]

@EthanBlaisAlarms yeah he knows

[@ZakWolf]

It's fairly obvious those Wheelock chimes on Simplex 4903 light plates are replacing older bells or chimes that were flush-mounted. The school I went to for kindergarten had 6" Simplex 4090 school bells (that sound just like that stock "Premiere Edition" school bell you always hear on TV) flush-mounted behind grilles just like that.

[@exoticcar5482]

The original system has to have been installed at least in the 70s, if not older

[@IceBotYT]

I never heard a TrueAlert do chimes before!

[@susansorrentino6130]

Wow 😲 really super quiet alarms!Those simplex truealert and wheelock chimes are not severely loud at all!

[@XxGG_the_HackerxX]

Chimes are usually pretty quiet

[@ryguy2006]

Sounds like everything in the old building is conventional due to the "zone" chime, and since the channel and device are the same.

[@siphonralarms9411]

I find it odd how there are grates the older chime lights are mounted on. Wonder if they had some older system with bells at one point??

[@michaelgrahamwongacutemadness]

this happens a lot

[@CraigBaker96837]

I didn't know that TrueAlert chimes could have that high of a pitch. Damn.

[@GaryBeltz]

I wasn't even aware that Simplex made a chime version of the TrueAlert.

[@CraigBaker96837]

Gary Beltz They have for quite a while. 4906-9133 (red wall, seen in video), 4906-9144 (white wall), 4906-9135 (red ceiling), and 4906-9136 (white ceiling). They also have the 49CMTV and the 49MTV in the TrueAlert ES line (yes, those have a chime sound setting, and frankly, it sounds like shit).

I think the original building had bells under the flush mount grill plates, then when the 4020 was installed the bells were replaced with 4903 light plates with mechanical chimes, then when the 4007es came along the mechanical chimes were replaced with Wheelock CH70 chimes.

[@michellebertrand7702]

That sounds about right.

[@sirenfreak57]

Nice video! I’ve yet to see a 4007ES in the wild in my area.

[@safetech]

Thanks for viewing!

[@hunterduncan362]

I saw one in Stanford

[@ZakWolf]

I am betting that the Art Center at my friend's university has a Simplex 4007ES panel now. They used to have a Simplex 4002 system (installed next to a gutted Simplex 4208 used for terminal wiring). Some time back they removed the old Simplex 4051 horns and slapped TrueAlert horn/strobes onto the 4050-80 light plates, which suggests the 4002 panel was replaced as well.

[@ZakWolf]

UPDATE: Yes, the Art Center indeed has a Simplex 4007ES, the red cabinet version.

[@armaniwilliams5752]

I'd Usually See this Combo(Wheelock CH-70's and CH-90 Remote Chimes), On Either Older 2903 Plates, Or On Wheelock RSS Plates. A few Times, I've seen these Devices on 4904 plates and 4903-9101 Strobe Plates, But the more common Install(At least in my area, Are CH-70's on 2903-9101 Strobe plates That are Installed in Hospitals in my area, Most of the Systems In hospitals are Coded by Zone(Ex. Zone 1 = 1 Chime, Zone 2 = 2 Chimes), So these Installs Are Typical, But Some Places Use Voice EVAC Nowdays, Although Eaton Still makes Wheelock Remote Chimes/Speakers and The CH-70 Devices for Future and Cost-Effective Installs

[@midnightclubshow4332]

Looks like the Wheelock Chimes replaced some old bells. Also, what’s the model number for the TrueAlert chimes?

[@alamorailfan]

Wow! How many 4007ES panels have you tested in your career? and wow! That is rare to find those chimes? What are the model numbers?

[@safetech]

Those newer panels are beginning to become more prominent in my service area. If your referring to the chimes in the old building they are Wheelock on 4903 incandescent plates. The others are TruAlerts

[@Loganetics1]

How bright is that first TrueAlert’s strobe? Looks pretty dim and it flashes pretty fast.

[@FireAlarmTech7.]

Why are the old chimes mounted behind those grey flush plates?

[@exoticcar5482]

Because they replaced older flush mounted bell alarms that would ring behind those flush plates, which made up the grille for those signals

[@Faraday1056]

how loud was it? i know chimes are not that loud.

[@CJWJR]

Why can't more fire alarms be this quiet!?...especially those in quieter buildings like these!

[@achannelwithnopurpose1977]

Because, the purpose of the alarms are to get your attention and louder devices are much more effective at doing so. You wouldn’t be able to hear these devices if you were wearing headphones or were hard of hearing, so thats why they need to be loud.

[@CJWJR]

@@achannelwithnopurpose1977 I know that, but that's also why there are strobe lights.

[@achannelwithnopurpose1977]

@@CJWJR My point was that they were loud for a reason. Unfortunately, the NFPA is very specific on which devices go where so most can’t even be quiet to begin with.

SAFETECH no I agree with Conor you are the best fire alarm tech out there

[@CJ9899]

SAFETECH I meant on KZbin, as there are no other techs who have 49 fire alarm inspection videos in real buildings. Another thing is that you do a good job keeping the places you visit private. There was a KZbinr named twoplyboy a few years back who had great fire alarm inspection videos, but they got privated because if privacy violation. One last thing, if you have a fire alarm collection, you should make a video on it.

[@safetech]

The 4903-9102/Wheelock chimes shown in this vid were in the old building. So no. Also that horn was likely there as part of the original system so as to why it was left there I’m not sure. Regardless, it gets the job done.
