Wheelock/Cooper notification has some relationships with the German siren manufacturer SiRcom. So this gave me a hypothetical question. What if SiRcom started rebranding Wheelock and Siemens fire alarms?
Probably not likely to happen unless they decided to get into the “smaller” side of the life safety industry (since of course outdoor warning siren systems are meant for alerting large areas while fire detection & alarm systems usually only alert one building), & right now something tells me that they’re only interested & invested in the larger side of it (sirens). They would likely also choose one brand or the other given that all Siemens did was rebrand devices from Wheelock, & nowdays they have their own line of notification appliances again & thus don’t need to rebrand Wheelock’s anymore (for the most part. Cooper’s also not in the picture anymore thanks to Eaton’s purchase of them).
Bosch, Fire Lite, and Notifier did rebrand Wheelock Devices. Was wondering of an Eluxa rebranded by Fire Lite.
I know Bosch did, but as far as I know Notifier & Fire-Lite have used System Sensor devices with their systems (& without rebranding them) instead (especially after all three of the latter companies came under ownership of Honeywell).
Not sure what military bases use SiRcom sirens and Wheelock alarms as part of their giant voice systems. But SER filmed a giant voice system that had an ATI HPSS-16 (or few more) with Wheelock alarms. The HPSS-16 and the E70s were connected to the giant voice system. Oceana’s military base (the one I usually go to at times) had Federal Signal sirens, but I didn’t find any MN alarms. Just Spectralert advances, Simplex pull stations and alarms, Wheelock alarms, and BG12s. Hurlburt AFB has upgraded their giant voice system, which features new SiRcom sirens, but I’m not sure if new Wheelock MN alarms were installed. BTW, Eaton owns Wheelock, though HQE systems owns SiRcom and Eaton. I was planning on making SiRcom rebrands of Wheelock devices on Roblox and upload them to the public for Roblox fire alarm fans to use. Hopefully my plan will go into full effect.
One more thing, SiRcom sirens playing the Star Spangled Banner is just cursed.
