FireAlarmGuy12's New (to me) and (not really) Exciting Things. And Statitrol A-404 repair progress

I’m tired of making a new post every time I get something new, so I’m make a post for them all.

Anyways, here’s the first of many images to come

Interesting Fenwal models indeed! I’ve personally never seen that keyswitch. What kind of key does it take?

I honestly don’t know what key it takes (which sucks for me because I’d really like it)

Simplex 2098-9544 + 2098-9536 Base

Siemens RL-40 (only got for my DI-4A)

A.K.A, the whiffle ball detector.

Nice, I’m in a building right now that is loaded with those smokes!
Are they photo or ion?

This specific model is ion, but there are similar looking photo ones

Edit: I’ve realized you where talking about the Fenwal detectors. Those are Photo, not Ion.

What other alarms are there in that building, 2903s? 4251s?

this is the system







I’m friends with the people who own the place, so I will hopefully be getting the system when it’s removed

Way to mount a 7002T on a flush plate :skull:



Statitrol A-404. Now I’ve gotta find the A-403 detector

Just wow. So cool. Rare in fact.

Currently on trying to get the A-404 working as the previous owner cut all of the internal wires. Doesn’t help that there’s nearly no information on this.

I’ve managed to get the reset button to reset the meter in the center. Had to confirm the power supply worked first (it does) and I only managed to shock myself once.

Ouch! Hope it wasn’t as bad as a Genesis would do. I’ve heard the cheap build of those have exposed circuitry, and collectors have had a history of being shocked pretty badly by their flash capacitors. I fortunately haven’t had that happen to me cause I don’t own a Genesis.

It was only 120, so wouldn’t be as bad as the (I think) 300V cap on the Genesis

Okay, if you ever get a Genesis, my advice, do not do anything with it when it’s internals are exposed, unless there’s no power being applied to it.

Already got a few of them. I’m always afraid of doing that

Well please just heed my advice and everything will be aight.

NIB Simplex 4262-4. I never thought I’d get one of these. Now I have both the -4 and -5
