Dang you got a lot of great stuff! (especially the rare items like that 4-wire NS4, Honeywell panel, & Honeywell-branded BG-12! (heck you might be the only enthusiast to own whatever Honeywell FACP that is at present!)

A Honeywell W940, my what a find, nearly extinct, good job! The only image of a full W940 intact was on Reddit I’ve ever seen. And now that system is defunct. My TAFATP is working out better than I thought. Does it have EVAC? And yes you’re the only enthusiast to own one of these, how the hell did you even get it? I mean just a single card costs $400-800 some on ebay.
And the reason why the LSM didn’t work is because the current it draws. It took away from the horn. Kinda like what it does when it skips, but on so much of a larger scale that it prevents the horn from sounding.
This W940 is the harbinger of big news! Can I please have permission to make a topic regarding this find?

Sure! I didn’t realize this thing is that rare!
Ohh. So the WS Strobes don’t draw as much Current which allows just enough Power to go to the Horn whereas the LSM Draws too much power and doesn’t give enough to the Horn? That’s really interesting.
Every device has a voltage-current curve. When two devices are connected in parallel, they receive the same voltage, and the total current is the sum of the currents according to the voltage-current curve. This is why NAC current is typically computed by summing the current draws of individual devices. When two devices are connected in series, they draw the same amount of current, and the input voltage is the sum of the two voltages according to the voltage-current curve. This means if you connect two 24-volt devices in series but only supply 24 volts, the two devices will need to share the 24 volts, so each device might receive 12 volts, or it might be split differently depending on the voltage-current curve of each device.
Okay and how did you even obtain that? I wonder. Can you also DM me more pictures in detail of the W940? The post will be a TAFATP one and I will credit you.
Another user named Pilot on the Forums rescued it when it was taken out of Service and along with the other stuff I got from the Lot the W940 was included.
How much was the lot? I’m sorry I have like so many questions about this panel where it’s so rare.
Does an old logo Kidde smoke alarm made in 2022 found in the clearance section at a Walmart count?
I for one would say so: whether old or new any device is worth preserving if you ask me!
My thoughts exactly! Well said, TC116.
I got all of it for free.
That stuff is worth a lot of money, prolly round about $2 or 3K altogether maybe, prolly more, and to think you got it all for free. Then again, I obtained what I have for free for the most part.
Count me in as well. My local Applebees just got torn down, and I attempted to save some of the devices and panel from the dumpster today, but it appeared it had been gutted previously
