Pyrotronics SYSTEM 3!

Holy crap that’s a huge System 3! Also funny how that tiny Silent Knight SK-5104/SK-5104B is next to it: a small panel that can actually do less than the big panel that’s beside it!

itty bitty blue panel

Wow! The only other panel that big that I’ve seen pictures of was the panel at the WTC.

That was actually several panels networked together, several Cerberus Pyrotronics MXLs specifically.

It’s probably an after-market dialer

I know for a fact that it’s a Silent Knight SK-5104(B) (especially given the Silent Knight 5230 annunciator hooked to it), take a look for yourself if you don’t believe me:

That’s a huge panel! Why is there a chair next to the panel? Does someone sit there and stare at it and get paid to just stare at a panel 24/7?

No need to be so condescending, Carson. It was probably added as a dialer much later because maybe the original system didn’t have one

I was just surprised that you didn’t recognize it as an SK-5104(B), but yeah, you’re probably right about that.

Start looking for fire museums to donate the system to. Is the system up for replacement anytime soon?

I love working on system 3 panels.

do you crawl around on the inevitable tangle of wires inside like a spider?

the 5104 is just a communicator with a bell output and keypad bus. The one in the picture is a 5104B, given the smaller black square decal around the window instead of the black stripe going down the middle of the panel on the older 5104.

Oh, right, forgot about that, thanks for the correction.

What’s your obsession with telling people to donate stuff to fire museums? Enthusiasts like to keep stuff y’know lol

I know, but if they die, they most likely would end up in a scrap yard

Ok but your obsession is getting way out of hand. I feel like 90% of your comments are related to museums, you even told me on YouTube that my rare smoke alarm would be a good museum piece. chill bro :skull:

Well even besides that: if they don’t want a particular device (or even multiple) I for one would like seeing it preserved in a museum for everyone to enjoy rather than unceremoniously thrown out/away (& thus essentially wasted).

Yeah admittedly maybe NEO is being a bit too “aggressive” with that (still, sorta can’t blame him just the same: very rarely does seemingly anyone in this community actually try to get things salvaged/saved, & even when they do things have sometimes gone wrong that have undermined their efforts).

If I didn’t want something, I’d just give it away to one of my close friends or sell it to them for a low price. Otherwise, I’d sell it to someone else who actually wants it.
