Yes, smoke detectors should not be in the “dead air space” in the immediate corner area.

I don’t know if this is exactly a fail, but is definitely strange.

Unfortunately at the moment I don’t have any images of it, but I did take some images but it’s on another device. I will get a image of it here when possible.
Basically a few months ago there was a fire drill in my apartment. It was a Simplex 4100ES system. They pulled one of the T bars close to the staircase on the ground floor. After the drill ended the pull station remained activated and they didn’t reset it. I don’t know how on earth they did that without either causing the system to reactivate, or disabling that device. It wasn’t until a week later that they finally got it to reset, but they should have reset it in the first place because it being activated would render it unusable.
And by the way, the annunciator close by that pull station had the key in it, which could allow someone to tamper with the system.
It could be a remote strobe, for some reason they didn’t fill in the horn grille on the remote strobes but also, EST.
They may have inadvertently bypassed it. From what I remember, simplex addressable systems will not let you reset them until you make sure that all points are either ready to be returned to normal (smokes and heats not at the trip threshold) and all the modules are clear as well.
They did have it reset though with that pull station left activated, not sure how. I’m not that familiar with Simplex systems so I don’t know how they work to the same extent as other systems.

FSP-851 that has been taped over. At least the room has some sprinklers, and another smoke in it as well.

Why in the world would they need to tape it up like that? It can easilly be remounted onto the ceiling tile in a different position.
I think it’s because the trim ring was falling off or something. Idk.
thy can easilly screw the mounting base on a different spot that doesn’t have holes in it since it’s on a ceiling tile. It’ll hold up better than just tape.

I’m talking about the detector trim ring. Not the base itself. Sorry if that was a bit ambiguous.

At my school some kids thought it would be funny to hit the exit signs. They are going to fall one someone. Especially the first one.
This happened to a Wheelock ZNS at my school.
My school is lucky. Ours never get hit. The ones in the gym were always targeted until cages were put up on them.
I see they also have a seperate backup spotlights right beside the wall. I’m not sure why they didn’t mount the exit sign right on the wall above the exit door where it won’t get ripped off.
That door in the picture is not the exit, it is a classroom. To the left of the door not in the picture is the exit. It just looks like that from the angle in the picture
