Fire alarms at my school

Do both systems go off during drills?

Indeed they do. For like the first half of the year it was only the simplex 4100u, then it was was both. We’ll see what it’s like next year. I’ll keep this thread updated

That seems really weird to me. It kind of defeats the purpose of installing a new system.

They’re doing remodeling. The previous 4100u doesn’t have voice, but now it’s required by code. And since the name got changed, it’s getting remodeled, and the fire alarm is getting updated

why is in one of the pictures it hanging out of the ceiling?

is that normal or a fail?

This was done because of the renovation. While not normal, I wouldn’t call it a fail either

What happened to the key switch?

Also, is that even on the wall?

that is a nice fire panel

@googleuser3212 idk what happened to the keyswitch. Also, the commander 3 isn’t on the wall. The reason has been previously discussed.

Sorry, didn’t see that originally.

@Alex_Wilkinson In all likelihood, since this is in a school, it could have been gouged out by a student or something.
