When I went to visit a high school in my area, I found these two gems in its autoshop. The double-gonged bell (formerly used as a telephone ringer) should be produced by Western Electric, and the regular bell should be a Faraday 2000 series UNI-PACT (credits to @NEOhistoryfan101 for corrections). If anyone’s wondering about the censor on the clock, my district puts their logo on clocks (complete w/ my city’s name).
SpectrAlert Classic remote strobe in the entrance of an apartment complex that houses the management that manages the apartment complex I live in. Complex sentence I just said, I know. The complex is mainly a Notifier system with all the notifying devices being Classics like this one.
And finally, something I own myself: an Edwards Adaptabel (340-4G5). I actually acquired this last year from my school (was chilling on top of a shelf in the main office), though I haven’t powered it even once yet. In this image, I put a bow on it.
I guess that’s it for now, might try to find other pictures on my phone later.
Who knows honestly considering how common such dual-gong bells are & the fact that it’s also not clearly marked with its manufacturer name anywhere on the outside.
That’s new I think: most probably leave the original manufacturer logo alone (if the clock has one at least).
Kinda odd to have a remote strobe instead of a horn/strobe in such a location but alright (there are horn/strobes throughout the building regularly though right?).
Yeah, heh.
Must have been put in sometime between 1997 & 2006 going by the existence of original SpectrAlerts (which were made between those years).
I actually have one of those myself, though mine is the 4N5 (120VAC) model. Well isn’t that interesting: not every day you find a device just like that! You oughta: see if it works as it should! (if you have a source of 24VAC of course) Heh, cute (why though exactly may I ask?).
To answer some of your replies to the various things I’ve put in my original post:
-Yes, there should be horn/strobes throughout the complex (only seen the first floor, had 2 other Classic horn/strobes, including a ceiling mount).
-Don’t really have a source of power for my bell (no power transformer that could convert mains power to suitable power, might wanna try rigging up a few batteries but I do not know how to do that yet), I put a bow on it for a little quote retweet on Twitter (the post in which I was quoting apparently complained about people putting bows on everything?).
1: Ah okay, yeah.
2: Ah alright: I myself have an Edwards transformer that can output 24VAC, & it’s proven perfect for the handful of signals I have that need that exact voltage, so maybe that would work for you (though you’d also need a 120VAC AC power cord to supply the transformer with input power). Batteries would not work since the bell is AC & batteries put out DC.
3: Ah okay, interesting.
Then there’s this. An unmarked, very weathered Advance mounted on the ceiling. Spotted at the T-Mobile my family goes to. No clue why they installed it in this manner. No other FA stuff was found there other than this Advance.
Finally, there’s this old smoke detector found in my school’s hallways. Not even sure if it’s a detector of any kind, nor am I sure of its make and model. Found in places like my robotic’s classroom, main office, library, etc. but not everywhere.
Hopefully I don’t delay any further replies by a decade or so
Very odd…
It’s definitely had a lot of sun exposure! (though from what I remember the last time I was at one T-Mobile stores have a lot of windows on their front so that would explain it)
You know, I think that’s actually a fire suppression system agent release nozzle: from what I’ve seen the agent sprays out of the holes on the little “cap” in the center & is then deflected into the area below the nozzle by the inner sides of the disc surrounding the “cap”.
