What is the model of this horn? I see these all the time on smoke alarms but I don’t know what model they are or what brand.
I have no honest clue, though a lot of American Sensors & Dicon detectors use them (Ten-Tek & BRK/First Alert Dicon-style units too I think).
Fyrnetics used a very similar one too
I’ve found a bunch of those over the course of my homesearching timeline but still haven’t figured out what they are either lol. I’d thought I heard at one point that these are just some weird system smoke detectors rather than alarms though.
Oh, also…
Ultra-rare Fyrnetics thing
SmokeGard 907A2
What’s that? Not sure if it should go here because I don’t know if it’s smoke alarm or detector related
Dicon (fail as well)
?!
BRK equivalent of the 9120B (These are rarer than you might think!)
8201-301?
Eh I don’t think so
I think that’s probably just a speaker
It looks like an inverted Kwikset 911.
Undiscovered Kwikset 119 lol!!!
JK.
What is that? Is this even a smoke alarm? It definitely looks thick enough to fit smoke alarm internals in it, that’s for sure. Spotted these two at my ortho office along with like 10 other ones.
Those look like vents to me
It could be something else besides from Vents but I don’t think it’s a smoke alarm because it has those knobs on them
That knob could be a test switch like those Gentex smoke alarms have. Also similar to the SmokeGard 700A.
Diamond horn Kidde 0918 or 0918K I think.
Could be the 907B2 as well, which is the interconnect model (obviously there’s no way of telling without seeing the wiring harness).
Could be a piezo horn going by the design.
If the unit still has power & still works it’s technically not, though it is well over 10 years old just the same. Odd how it appears to have either no test button or a jammed-in test button though.
Huh, not sure I’ve ever seen anything like that before! (the closest detector I know of is the Halo/Halo+/Halo WX by Halo Smart Labs)
Yeah: basically all the ones I’ve seen are the First Alert-branded versions instead (possibly because at some point BRK opted to quit making two differently-branded versions of all their detector models & just brand everything as “First Alert”).
That is a General Electric Home Sentry 8201-1, 8201-2, 8201-3, 8201-001, 8201-101, 8201-201, or 8201-301 (as all of these models have the same exterior appearance).
That is a Bogen Easy Install-series ceiling speaker according to Google.

Just so you know you quoted Dicon twice
Oh? No idea how I managed that, but thanks for letting me know, heh. I’ll fix that real quick…
The sears is a rebrand of the 401 lol

That makes total sense and it’s actually what I initially thought
Also when was FireX created?
I remember hearing that it was created in the late 70s but I can’t find where I found that information from
Fairly certain that’s an American Fire Alarm Co. AF-S-135 C commercial heat detector.
Honeywell 5800COMBO according to Google.
I for one have no clue, but their detectors go back as far as the 80s at least.
