Fire Alarms in Buildings (2.0)

good question! I really dont know.

i dont know either

it looks like they flipped and reuse the actual strobe “plate,” and removed the seperate strobes and horns

I WISH I ASKED cause i knew i coulda made a good shot but i was busy with an online class at the time :sob:

should mention colleges tend to keep those kinds of stuff, so i emailed a contact a week ago and no response. i should check up on that

not all hope is lost :folded_hands:

Very sussy and outright terrible ̶u̶p̶g̶r̶a̶d̶e̶ downgrade, and quite a drag that it couldn’t be saved yet. Wanna join The Anti-Fire Alarm Trashing Police? My faction kinda wants to keep that stuff from happening.

Also, I’m tryna save an entire 2001-8001 system from Walters State Community College which they plan on replacing I don’t know when (the fire marshal said it was on the list of things to do). Hopefully after I move out and am still in college cause I wanna have room for it. I already posted what it looks like in this topic.

Did someone say Sussy?

Yes, and an outright terrible ̶u̶p̶g̶r̶a̶d̶e̶ downgrade.

no thanks, and gl with the 2001 twin

Thanks! Hopefully I can have it, but if I don’t have room for it, I just give it away.




Pretty uncommon, A NFC-50/100!

Alright, alright! Not too shabby!

Well, 30 years after that medial center was built, they’ve finally replaced their original Simplex 4020 system, and they went with a logical upgrade path:


An Autocall-branded 4010ES system! This is the first 4010ES I’ve seen in person, and I always felt it’d be a sensible upgrade from a 4020, even if it means replacing all the initiating devices (no matter if it’s Simplex or Autocall). They also kept the existing Simplex 4009 IDnet NAC booster panels, which were installed with those Autocall-branded multitone TrueAlert horn/strobes last year (replacing 4903-9219 horn/strobes, likely so they could still have low-frequency sounders).

Same area I photographed last year, but now with an A4099-9006 pull station in place of the original Simplex 2099-9761. The older Simplex smoke detectors (largely 4098-9701 TrueAlarms and at least one replacement 4098-9714) were, not surprisingly, replaced with A4098-9714 TrueAlarm detectors.

That outdoor 2904-9XXX is amazing! I have no idea how one of the ones outdoors could possibly still work, they don’t seem like a device that would hold up well outdoors

I don’t know if it does, there’s only 2 of the neighborhood complexes buildings that still have mechanical horns in use

Not only are the very close-together 278-series station & Integrity odd (why is that section of the room seemingly so short compared to the rest?), but the logo on top of the annunciator is interesting too, as it greatly resembles EST’s.

Mircom FX-2000 in a New York State service area. Looks to be voice-equipped, with Wheelock WM speaker/strobes.

Fire-Lite MS-5UD in a New Jersey restaurant. Has System Sensor SpectrAlert Advances and L-Series.

Simplex 4100ES at Garden State Plaza mall. Was a 4100U many years ago. This 4100ES presumably covers the movie theater. There’s likely more 4100s in other parts of this very large mall, all voice-evac on a 4120 network most likely.

Edwards/EST IO64 next to the above Simplex 4100ES panel. Not too sure what this is here for, my guess is suppression/agent release or for a nearby store.

Fire-Lite MS-9050UD at a rest area in Massachussetts. Has System Sensor SpectrAlert Advances, Fire-Lite SD355 smoke detectors, and Fire-Lite BG-12LX pull stations.

Fire-Lite MS-4824 at an Olive Garden near my place. Decommissioned and replaced with a Fire-Lite ES series panel with ceiling-mount L-series. I recently got parts to an MS-4824 and hope to get a cabinet for it (maybe get this one).

Also, is that a Siemens rebranded pull station? And what is that “SDT” label on the annunciator?

No: the label appears to say “Honeywell”: as far as I know Siemens never rebranded Edwards’ 277/278-series (unless you count the Landis & Gyr version (as Landis & Gyr is part of Siemens).

That’s the logo of Security and Data Technologies, Inc., who were an EST distributor at one time (hence why their logo is on part of that Edwards/EST system & why it resembles the EST logo): today it appears that they’re either a company called “Everon Solutions” or that they were acquired by said company (as “sdtinc.net” redirects to their website).

I was thinking about this video when I wrote that comment: https://youtube.com/shorts/iEEu6Gzk8oA?si=TTj5grqdnvBYG_UR

Looking at it again, I think you are right about it being a Honeywell label.
