  • Not sure if this has ever been posted, as it’s an old vid, but I don’t recall seeing it. A church burns down and you can hear the electromechanical alarms in march time going off.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSPclU4IksQ - (EXPLICIT LANGUAGE, AND A LOT OF IT) For most of the video, you will hear some annunciator/panel sounding a trouble tone.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2viISwUc9oY - (EXPLICIT LANGUAGE) SpectrAlert classic horn/strobes (along with heat detectors) in code-3; it does sound low-pitched, so it may be coming from the heat detectors, but the quality is not the best out there…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDip9Ro-vdY - Briefly at the beginning, are MT horn/strobes in continuous.

149

It is a smoke. It’s a Gentex 7000/8000/9000 series unit.

150

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2MMixc1u6A - (EXPLICIT LANGUAGE, skip to 7:31) Faintly-heard hi-lo sounders.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XB-pXgYPRGE – See video description; this is an interesting hi-lo-hi tone that pauses, then repeats. Does anyone know what kind of alarms these are?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75_gSYr9MbA – Fire alarm tone in code-3 followed by a voice-evacuation message.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t-GSwTw1qs – (bad quality) What I am guessing is an older EST panel w/ 892 speaker/strobes; signal coding is slow whoop.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4QmQblIQTI – (mild language) TrueAlert alarms in code-3.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aaaUUFfViA – (bad quality) Wheelock 6” bells in continuous and SpectrAlert classic horn/strobes in code-3.

152

The signals in the hospital fire alarm test video are the white, speaker version of the 792. I’m not sure what the actual model number is, though.

153

Actually, it’s a 4903-9255 - the horizontal revised version of the 4903 series.

[quote] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oLPfzWyvUA – 9806 or 9838 horns on some sort of Simplex strobe plates in continuous. [/quote]

Given the flash rate, I’d say they’re 4903-9105-style plates.

154

Dual Action 2099/4099 is pulled. Then we hear what is probably PA400s, then they go out into a smoky hallway (drill w/ what I assume is a fog machine) and a strange Simplex EVAC message with a slow and long 500Hz Code-3 like sound, and message:

[quote] May I have your attention! May I have your attention please. An emergency has been discovered in the building. Responsible personnel are responding. You are instructed to remain calm and orderly and to leave the building by way of the nearest exit. Look for the nearest exit sign, and proceed to leave the building. [/quote]
155

Always so hard to tell when the alarm is just so far away, or the quality is bad…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3b5grRXXoY - The third part of this video; after some more brief activations, you will see the alarm; a Faraday 6020 horn on a Simplex 2903 non-ADA strobe plate.

159

I think they’re all -9833’s.

160

True, but since the 9833 and 6020 horn are basically the same alarm, I don’t think the model numbers make too much of a difference…
