I wonder if Colombia counts too since I found Wheelock speaker strobes at a grand Hyatt in Bogota with a Siemens pull station.



SIMPLEX 4010 suppression panel & Tyco firefighter’s telephone & some sort of Classic or Notifier horn strobe (not knockoff) in a Chinese subway station

They also have the 4100U and ES in china

The classic looks to be a knock off since they never made one with a bracket that big and a grill with that many lines for the horn and theres no tabs on the side of the device like real ones

bg12’s and i3’s. Am I right?

It also looks like it has a EST Siga 278

I only see european call points in there.

I find it interesting that Esser, a German manufacturer, rebranded EST SIGA smoke detectors (unless I’m mistaken and it’s the opposite). It isn’t a direct rebrand, however, as the Esser models are slightly different in appearance: they have a narrower base and only feature one LED. I assume that the addressable protocol is different, and I’m unsure if there are any other internal differences between the EST and Esser versions. I’ve seen these detectors on three occasions, the one pictured below being from Austria:

Here are a few other interesting examples I found online of North American panels and devices in Europe:

Wouldn’t surprise me that Simplex and EST3 panels were in the UK where I live

Do they also have TrueAlert and Genesis NA’s where you live?
