Ok. At my work, which is this awesome youth magazine Downtown, it is actually located inside a high school called City High School (a charter school). They have a Gamewell panel :shock:, the old-style Gamewell half-moon pulls, and Wheelock NS’s for the NA’s. The Gamewell panel is located upstairs, but next to it is this box that says Altronix on it. Don’t know what that’s for…
Oh. I forgot. There’s one more place I went in 1999.
In a learning center for special needs has SpectrAlerts (you would know what I’m talking about because the Advances were not made, thank heavens that they weren’t made and installed) and I think Ademco generic T-bar pulls. When I first came, they were not covered, but in December, they put Stopper IIs over them.
The high school that my boyfriend goes to:
1. BRK MA/SS-24 (hallways and some classrooms)
2. 2DCD (Science Labs, Psychology Room, ESL Room, Special Needs, Home Economics Room, Guidance Room, Office)
3. 9422s (bathrooms and locker rooms; which are about the size of a kitchen)
4. EST alarms (woodworking, technical drawing, TV station, radio stations, computer rooms, cafeteria, gymnasium, library, meeting rooms)
5. Simplex 4051 (teacher’s room, art room, nurse’s room, principals office)
Can you find out what the MA/SS were set to? Thnx
I do believe it was continuous. He said something about a couple of alarms being Code-3, but that’s it.
Ah… I just found out what my HS alarm system is! It is a Notifier NFS2-3030 intelligent FACP with Notifier addressable NP-100 smokes. There are also key-reset BG-10s.
I just started another job…
Which is in a school, by the way. The alarms (even in the classrooms) are some type of Gentex Commander Horn/Strobes (yes, horns in the rooms). The smokes are a mixture of different types. I don’t know the brand/model of the pulls, but they are rectangular, with a big open white circle in the middle. A red circular lever is in the middle, making it look like a bullseye.
My other job, at a sub sandwich shop, has no visible alarms, pulls, or smokes
…
At Symonds School (K and Pre-1): Edwards bells with 270 pull stations. Changed in 1973 to buzzers with round Standard pulls.
St. Joe’s (1st grade): unknown horns on march-time with “break glass” type pulls (changed to Kidde B5 the next year and Space Age horns). Jonathan Daniels: Probably either General Signal or Wheelock buzzers with round Standard pulls. Junior High: Same as Jonathan Daniels, with a different-sounding buzzer/horn, but identical-looking. High School Main Building: Odler version of Wheelock 34-24 buzzer continuous with Standard pulls. CVC portion of building: Simplex 4051 beepers with T-Bar pulls. Steel building: Wheelock 34-24 with strobe or 7002 with Couch “chevron-type” pulls. Annex: Space Age horns and Gamewell “Full-Moon” pulls. One other note: Edwards 270 in boys’ gym, replaced in 1981 with round Standard pull. System change in 2000: Wheelock beepers with Edwards 278 pulls.

Those sound like the Gamewell Century pull stations.
My high school has Spectra-alerts. Last year when the building was renovated they replaced all the old Simplex electromechanical horns. The old system only had horns in the hallway, but they were loud. The new system has horn/strobes in each room. I liked the sound of the old horns.
As I said, SpectrAlerts are often used to replace old Simplex fire alarms, even though my college chose to replace the old Simplex horns with SpaceAge Electronics horn/strobes.
Recap of my Schools:
High School:
-
Simplex 2901-9838s on a 4904-9501 strobe plate. These alarms are in most areas.
-
Space Age Electronic 2DCD horns on the V33 lamp plate. These alarms are in the freshman wing, near graphics, in guidance and the school to career suite, next to a walkway, near cosmo and in the assessment center.
-
Simplex 4903-9219s in the biotechnology wing, special education wing and in the old aquaculture hydroponics building.
-
Edwards 892-2B alarms out in the modular building.
-
One Spectra Alert in the lecture hall.
-
One Wheelock ASWP outside on the aquaculture building.
Middle School:
-
Simplex 4050s on the 4050-85 light plate in the areas except where noted.
-
Simplex 4051s in the first floor wing and technical drawing room.
Elementry School:
-
Simplex 4903-9219s in the hallways
-
Simplex 4903-9138 strobes in the bathrooms
-
Simplex 2901-9838 on 4904-9501 strobe plates near the gym, in the gym and elevator room.
-
Two Gentex SHGs in the Enrichment Room and ELT Room.
-
One Older Wheelock AS in classroom that used to be a kitchen
Even though your middle school had Edwards 270-SPO pulls, I am sure your high school has Simplex T-bar pulls, right?
Everywhere except the Modular Building, which has 270-SPO pulls
At the school I work at:
Panel: Mircom FX2000 (installed at the end of December 2002).
Signals: Halls, Enrichment, Band hall, library, weight room and T-building= EST 892 (buzzing tone)
Office and Restroom signals: Mircom Select-a-horn/strobes. Office signals are set to code-3 and the almost all of the restrooms are on continuous.
Old Gym: CP speaker/strobes that make a whooping sound.
New Gym: 1 spectralert that doesn’t work and an Integrity set to code-3. In the store-room and locker rooms, Mircoms on code-3.
Pull Stations: A mixture of Edwards Break-glass rods and Mircom pull stations.
Here is a video explaining all the alarms at all my schools.
Now I know some of these pictures are from various users here.
We have at our middle school a brand new Siemens system:: the pulls are ms-50 or 50-1 dual action and some single action pulls :: the notifictation appliances are siemens u-nh-mcs inside doing code three in all areas except the gym which is doing continious. u-mcs remote strobes in bathrooms and some newer classrooms. and u-mmt’s doing code three as well on the outside of the school
Having moved to the new office recently, we have Wheelock 34 horns (open grille, black sounder plate) with Space Age light plates in the hallway. Then in our suite, we have Wheelock RSS strobes. Then we have Cerberus Pyrotronics MS-51 pulls in the hallway.
Why was the video removed? :?
