oh my white 2903s are incredibly rare

[@La01781]

My school has them, should I grab them before they destroy the school ? It’s abandoned but I went as a child

[@KyokoKirigirie]

sounds like a beautiful official soundtrack to a movie around 2:23 up to 3:00

[@SirensAndAlarmsOfNorthernIL]

So white 2903s are real??? I made a model out of one ages ago and used it on a homemade system and all that time until now I thought 2903 light/strobe plates only came in red. Good to know that I learn new stuff everyday

[@piktureit]

I hope somebody fixes up the 4050-80 instead of replacing it entirely. Congrats on finding white 2903s btw!

[@LinkterOfficial]

Very good video like always but this time a wheelock system that rare in the canada so i really enjoy it

[@TheCarson116]

Heck of a system right there! I sure hope all the devices _(especially_ the 4050-80-series & 2903-series plates) are saved someday.

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

Very cool White 2903s! Why put a bright Wheelock AS on some? They're still kind of cool though. I think I also heard a Wheelock NS or System Sensor SpectrAlert Classic and Gentex Commander 2 or 3

[@TheCarson116]

You sort of answered your own question: because ASes have strobes that are far brighter than those on 2903-series strobe plates & thus meet current ADA requirements for brightness.

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

@@TheCarson116 Yeah for sure. These Wheelock AS horn strobes were even set on 110CD (according to the pictures) which is super bright! It's still pretty bright on 75CD.

[@TheCarson116]

@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 Honestly I'd say that modern fire alarm strobes are plenty bright on just 15CD! Keep in mind though that not all of them may have been set on that candela: there are specific candela settings for specific applications & locations.

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

@@TheCarson116 Yeah, it is plenty bright on 15CD, it's just kind of hard to see the strobe from far away in a large room at that setting. It's also very hard to see if say the alarm was mounted way too high above the ground. It's probably still plenty of light at 30CD.

[@TheCarson116]

@@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 Exactly why modern alarms are multi-candela: in some cases the strobe has to be brighter than just 15CD.

[@mackdoyle8673]

6:17 Simplex 2901-9806 that really sounds like Simplex 2901-9838

[@The-creator-of-good-videos-15]

2:44: If somebody stands in that position, I think the horns would sound like one chord, like, a mix of different notes put together or something. Idk. If they don’t mention (Idk) the screeching alarm that is currently doing a “Code-3”. I think.

[@loren4777]

Great system I prefer the old horns

[@burnoutteamclubbtcp7283]

Alarms: Simplex 2901-9806's Wheelock AS's Simplex 4051 (heard but not seen) Gentex Commander 3 Wheelock NS or HSR

[@alexandersfirealarms]

Or maybe a ZNS

[@cherryhuang2626]

Where Wheelock MT?

[@alphawolffurry-t8r]

this system seen better days

[@The09creeper]

2:37 what smoke detector was that?

[@FourtyFiftyEighty]

An old fenwall one that’s probably rebranded by simplex. I regret not recording the testing of those

[@lorenlorenzen4309]

How many of the old horns where left

[@samanthashafer1742]

Quite the Frankenstein system. I guess that's what happens when a building does upgrades bit by bit instead of one massive upgrade. That and when the programming is suboptimal

[@RJARRRPCGP]

Looks like they are the older "B2" version. Looks like the older version at 6:08.

[@ImarisYT]

White 2903 light or strobe plates? Pretty rare!

[@cherryhuang2626]

Where is wheelock NS? 2:55 And Gextex fire alarm 3:25

[@Percexus]

I think I heard either an NS/Exeeder or maybe a spectralert classic there. 3:10

[@Percexus]

And then after that was a Gentex Commander?

[@STR2K6-2]

6:33 was the strobe even flashing?

[@FourtyFiftyEighty]

Yea it was very slow and my camera missed it like 3 times lol

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

Strobe is very dim and unnoticeable.

[@centurionempire4180]

I swore one of the alarms is from the Gentex commander series, either the commander 2, 3 or 4.

[@FourtyFiftyEighty]

There were a few commander 4s in the weight room

[@TheSimplex4903]

Hmm, a retrofit plate would do wonders instead of the old 2903s what do you say bogi?

[@cherryhuang2626]

Where Wheelock MT?

[@NissanGTR958]

What the f*** how’s the fire alarm go dead?💀

[@LeoThePool]

I dont understand. Why did they replace half the system with wheelock crap and not truealerts. Would sound alot better. Or would also work with est genesis

[@FourtyFiftyEighty]

see theres this thing called a distributorship and in this case the company that one the bid for the replacement had a wheelock distributorship and used what wheelock had at the time which was the AS

[@LeoThePool]

​@@FourtyFiftyEighty kinda makes sense

[@sheagoff6009]

Why are some on continuous and some on code 3?

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

I think the panel was set to continuous. Some alarms were self coding themselves to code 3.

[@user-Calebculwell]

Are those 2903’s “ factory painted “ like the 2902’s?

[@FourtyFiftyEighty]

Ye

[@user-Calebculwell]

@@FourtyFiftyEighty oh my! Imagine if you saved those

[@Thebigdipper23]

7:15 he has one in his hand.

[@Earth_Number_12]

What did the dead fire alarms get replaced by

[@Alwaysdoinit112]

Wheelock AS's.

[@JayS-l6f]

Some of these damn things would wake the fkn dead!!!!! May not be installed right but the noise alone holy fk

[@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440]

Ik fix the 80 and horn new bulb and turn nut on horn and 4903 9102s are the best

[@Calebs_clocks]

My school has the same system but with the as horn strobes

[@Goldenrod636]

Looks like you are the new SafeTech then when it comes to doing inspection videos since I am pretty sure he isn't gonna post his videos anymore since it's been a while but it is what it is. Any chance you could go back to that school with the 4051s and do a more in-depth video of it with the horns in full alarm rather than them just being in test mode and go around the school? No? Worth a shot.

[@theplaneeditorstjpoharyant3107]

Wheelock as retrofits.. WHY

[@The-creator-of-good-videos-15]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a color mix before, like… red speaker-strobe fire alarms being placed onto white strobe-only plates… I mean… who even does that… I think it’s interesting… or something… Idk. Also, I think you mean “Truly”. Idk.

someones gotta reorogram the pannel

[@GreenESTAlarm]

Yknow, I might buy myself one of these, and spray paint the whole thing green and sell it on eBay for 1200. I think it will sell eh?

[@achannelwithnopurpose1977]

Definitely a very interesting system retrofit. No idea why they have two big panels for just covering one wing per panel or why they decided to paint the 2903 plates white. As for the panel situation, why was a silent knight panel installed when a 4100ES was there and perfectly capable of handling everything? Was a different company there at one point? Was it supposed to be the real master panel and the 4100ES was just installed as the school switched providers? Also, i refuse to believe simplex retrofitted that system. Simplex forces anyone who wants to be a tech for them to get factory training for the hardware and programmer.

[@vintagesimplexfirealarmsof6440]

Imagine if the 2803s flashed when had as on it

[@IH3t4sch00L]

I wish I'd would work
