Upon request, here are the devices in my collection with pictures, as you can see I particularly like Simplex devices from the 70’s and 80’s. I do welcome newer, non-Simplex devices to my collection, but I usually won’t go out of my way to buy them, because there will probably be an opportunity to get some on a job site. Of the non-Simplex devices I have, I got all of them for free except the Exide 969-R, and the FCI MS-2.
Notification Appliances
Simplex 2901-9838 Horn + Simplex 2903-9001 Light Plate
Simplex 2902-9735 Speaker Light Plate
Simplex 2903-9002 + Simplex 4090-91 Speaker. I found the horn that came with it in storage.
Simplex 2903-9101 2nd Generation (Didn’t come with a horn)
x2 Simplex 2901-9833 Horn + Simplex 2903-9102 Strobe Plates w/1 backbox. I got these for free from the electrical program I attended in HS, I was told they were donated to the program by a security company over 20 years ago.
Simplex 4050-80 Light Plate w/white “FIRE” lettering. Didn’t come with a horn, or the original light components.
Simplex 4050-81 Light Plate w/black “FIRE” lettering. Didn’t come with a horn.
Simplex 4904-9426 True Alert
Simplex 4903-9217 Also found in my storage unit
Wheelock 7002T-24
Wheelock 7002T-12 My first ever fire alarm that I got back in 2017. It worked when I got it but it sounded like crap, a very deep, raspy growl but I since haven’t gotten either the horn nor the strobe to work at all.
x2 Space Age 2DCD Horns + Space Age AV-32 Light Plates w/backboxes
Exide 969-R “4050-80 Remote” Light Plate w/black “FIRE” text. Didn’t come with the original light components.
Pull Stations
Simplex 4251-20
Simplex 4251-41 Dual Stage pull station. Anyone know how this device would be used in a system, it has a SPDT button, and a key switch in it?
Simplex 4251-2K Institutional pull station. I already have a post on this device so go check it out if you haven’t seen it yet.
Simplex 4251-1 Chevron pull station. I collaborated with the precision machine class at our local vocational school (which also has these same pull stations in it), to fix the hex key lock on this. It had been stripped out from years of resetting, so we drilled and threaded a new hole and installed a 6-32 set screw to be able to function as it once did.
x3 Simplex 2099-9754
FCI MS-2 Later Model
Notifier BG-10
Notifier BNG-1R
Smoke/Heat Detectors
Simplex 4255-1
Simplex 2098-9209
System Sensor 2400
ESL 429CT
System Sensor i3
Fire Panels/Annunciators
Simplex 4001 Complete unit
Simplex 4601-9102 “4001” Annunciator
Simplex 4001 Board and transformer. This is the 4001 that I bench tested with before I got my complete 4001.
Note: I used to have a Fire Lite MS-5024UD panel that had suffered water damage in its installation, so I got rid of it when it started going into alarm by itself, and would not silence until you disconnect power.
Bells
Simplex 4017-62. This came from our local vocational school and was placed above the suspended ceiling when the building was undergoing renovations, there is another one like it in the building thats still in place but has been disconnected.
I also have added devices from a full FCI FC-72 replacement I made on another post, so go check it out if you haven’t seen it yet. FCI FC-72 System Replacement Complete
That is the state of my collection as of 6/24/22. I could’ve had a Simplex 2001 in here if I had acted faster, and with be helping out with several fire alarm upgrades in the coming weeks, so my collection will more than quadruple in the coming weeks if all goes well, more on that later.
