I own an extremely old 7002T-24 that was taken out of a middle school many many years ago. It actually has the Wheelock tag on the back of the strobe is actully stamped on instead of being a sticker, it also says it's rated at 0.5 cd. They had them paired with Edwards (gs) rebranded BG-10s (aka the 279A). I own one one of these from the school and it is is remarkably good condition after sitting in my grandfather's shed for probably 20 years, although both of the wires have come off the switch.

I have a 34T-24+WS-24 that has the label stamped back on the strobe, as opposed to the commonly used sticker. Mine was made in 1986. Not too sure when they introduced the sticker, could have been a year later.
@ironmatic18 жыл бұрын
How do you know when it was made?
@NewEnglandElevators8 жыл бұрын
Somewhere on the back of the horn, there should be a 4-digit code. The first two digits dictate which week the device was made, and the last two dictate the year. The "3790" on mine dictates that this was made the 37th week of 1990. My 34T-24+WS-24 has a code of "3186," essentially, the 31st week of 1986.

That skipping is a reason why we don't see electromechanical horns used on new fire alarm systems anymore, due to the current draw. Electronic horns draw way less current, and thus eliminates the "skipping."
@ZakWolf5 жыл бұрын
@Nathan Delaplaine Nope, some companies still made them. But yeah, by the late 1990s, electronic horns were more common, and it was easier for them to be 2-wire than electromechanical horns (this is why the 7002Ts skip.) Wheelock continued making the 7002T until around the mid-90s, and the MT-24-LSM became their signature alarm signal (nowadays it's the Exceder.) Even Faraday was making electromechanical horns for fire alarm usage up until 2007 with the Wheelock lawsuit that pretty much killed Faraday.

nice, I have the one with the black on the transformer, I wanted to get a look under that cardboard cover that is fastened with that nut and found that there is one more nut that holds down what looks like some sort of relay with an adjustable plastic screw that kinda just rides the metal horn material , I adjusted it a little because the horn was sounding funky but I removed the thing off the mount all together and all that happens is the horn pops backwards (no strobe either) like it would lift the relay maybe causing some sort of mechanical oscillation maybe because a transformer on DC needs an oscillator in line (transistor) with a capacitor to work and the relay is clicking back and forth so quickly it is working with the diode and the capacitor on there like it was some sort of mechanical oscillator instead of using a transistor .. I haven't confirmed this yet but I think that's what makes sense to me.. Keep the videos rolling ! I just started my collection and have some fun plans ahead.
@NewEnglandElevators8 жыл бұрын
+Ryan Szumiesz That area under the cardboard cover is not a relay at all. It's the switch that switches the coil on and off rapidly. I wouldn't recommend messing with that, you must have bent the contacts. Don't think a new diode would fix that, either. Additionally, I do hope to keep the videos rolling!
@ryanjosef8 жыл бұрын
+NewEnglandElevators . Ahh thanks for the second look at the coil, I was thinking of it as a transformer and it didn't quite click in my head that it could be just a coil , the tip off should have been the single wind of wire on it and only two pins lol . I had it apart because it sounded like a sick duck , i'm assuming this is why I found it in a dumpster but some minor cleaning and a small tweak of that plastic screw got it in consistent good working order again .
