So, i saw a FOS 6120 rebranded by FCI. Also, i remember seeing a Faraday multi tone horn with an FCI logo on it.
Yeah, I’ve seen FCI rebrand products from Faraday (“FOS” is Faraday’s “generic” brand name). I have an FCI-rebranded Faraday speaker/strobe in fact.
I’m not sure what the original Faraday model number is, but mine is model “2607-N + 5526-W” (I got that from adding together the model numbers of the speaker & strobe, which for some reason appear to be separate rather than all one number). Mine looks identical to that one except it’s a darker shade of red & has the FCI logo in place of the Faraday one.
I actually saw a FCI rebranded 6120 on ebay. I thought of getting it, but it sold out.
Ah well, you might always get another chance to do so.
well i ended up getting one:)
Congratulations! Almost exactly a year later too! I hope you enjoy it!
What does “fos” stand for
It’s theorized that “FOS” stands for “Faraday OutSourced”, which as I said was supposedly Faraday’s “generic” brand name, intended to be used on products manufactured for other companies to use with theirs (or on systems needing such “generic” devices).

Hence the FOS 6120 being identical to a simplex 2901-9838. Not sure why a system would need generic devices.
Ohhh that’s what that means
Faraday is technically the original maker of the 6120, with FOS as stated being the generic name for it; Simplex rebranded the 6120 as the 2901-9838.
There are applications where such devices might be needed, such as a system installed by a local service company or not by one of the big brand names (i.e. Radionics).
Just said it wrong. Knew fos was the original creator of the 6120
