“American” fire alarms in other countries

Fire Alarm General Discussion
1

I have noticed Spectralert Advances in Asia & Dubai. What other alarms have you seen from America outside of the US/Mexico?

2

I‘ve seen Simplex T-bar pull stations mounted on ancient architecture in the Palace Museum in China. Wondering if they’re disconnected, because there’re new break-glass MCP’s next to them.

Also, most Chinese individual household smoke alarms use Code-3 temporal signal, so do fire curtain controllers. Probably because you just need a DC buzzer to sound Code-3, while it requires more complicated circuit to sound a fire truck siren tone - typical tone of Chinese horn/strobes.

Australia and New Zealand have Spectralert Classics with a red strobe on it. They oftenly use System Sensor smoke detectors as well.

The resort is in Indonesia and has EST speaker strobes!

Move the camera to the roof if it doesn’t load properly or try this link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/MASyPEgwheTbsG237?g_st=ic

North America from Canada all the way down to Panama uses the same systems that are made in United States/Canada accross central america too. In fact the entire continent uses the same outlets and electricity as well.

Some counties have very lax standards or they have importers from North American counties.
