Vintage Fire Alarms my Mom found at a hospital

My Mom found these. I’m kinda surprised they haven’t been replaced considering they aren’t ADA Strobes.

They’re probably grandfathered in, that’s likely why those VALS strobes are still there. Neat for sure though: I don’t believe you see many systems with that Vibratone 450 + VALS combination!

This may be a Dumb Question, but are the FS VALS Strobes still in production?

They are actually, though mainly for general signaling purposes.

That makes sense due to them not being ADA Compliant.

Carson-Newman University in Jefferson City, TN also has the FS 450+VALS combo in one of their buildings.

I also know Walters State in Morristown has a building full of 2903s, and the College Square mall has some as well.
