The silent knight panel is also on the system 3 door
Yeah I believe that’s what they used
That’s the best retrofit out of all of them

Oh yeah…actually thought it wasn’t from the sheet of wood over it, but the previous panel is still there.
That is an Awesome looking System 3. Iv’e only seen pictures of system 3’s with the blue cabinet.
Here’s the alarms at a Wyndham in Lake Charles. They have Siemens devices with Siemens rebranded Wheelock notification appliances. The annunciator is a SSD-C, probably for a Firefinder panel.

That’s The First Time I Saw A Picture Of A 4904 Strobe+Bullseye Speaker
Huh I never knew they made panels and pull stations
I think they rebranded the pull station and smoke detector. The smoke detector looks like a SD505-APS
No silent night rebranded hoticki

Oh really? Didn’t know that
The panel is Kentec-designed, as the Hochiki Corporation has owned Kentec Electronics for some time now, & the pull station is a rebranded RSG RMS-1T-KL-LP, but the smoke detector I’m pretty sure is one made by Hochiki themselves, as Hochiki has made detectors for other companies (Simplex most prominently).
Hothiki manufactured smoke detectors for silent night and Simplex

Well, TIL. Didn’t know that
This is a sad sight. This is my district’s old high school. As you can see, it’s clearly being demolished. This Auditorium was the second-to last part of the building to be built, and it was also the second-to last part of the building to be demolished. They started at the opposite end of the building. If you look to the left of the door on the left side of the photo, you can see three devices on the wall. That’s a Pyrotronics rebranded Wheelock 7002T, a 120v Wheelock sprinkler bell, and what is likely a 24vAC Simplex class-change bell. Here is a better view from the 2021 Google Street View:
The Wheelock bell looks much newer than the other two devices, and it looks almost brand new on the 2011 Street View, so it was likely replaced around 15-20 years ago. The Simplex(?) bell was installed in 1986 when this addition was built, and the existing Standard Electric Time master clock was replaced with a Simplex model. This was the only bell in this addition, as the indoor S.E.T. bells from the original areas could be heard throughout the addition, and it was supplemented by a tone over the intercom system (that had admittedly very limited speaker coverage). The 7002T rebrand was tied into the Pyrotronics XL3 addressable system that was installed in 1986 as part of the addition project to replace the school’s aging Standard Electric Time AC coded system, and it acted as an outdoor notification appliance. There was another rebranded 7002T on the other side of the wall that acted as one of two notification appliances in the auditorium, and there was one straight across from it on the opposite wall of the auditorium that acted as the other NA in the auditorium.
It’s still crazy that this building doesn’t exist anymore. It’s now essentially all gone. I had a hard time writing this post, as I kept accidentally writing everything in present tense.

Incidents like that really drive home why it’s so important for us collectors & enthusiasts to make sure all of a building’s life safety devices are removed/salvaged/saved before it’s demolished (or “do our part” one could say).
