What was your first Alarm for your collection?

[Starshadow_folf]

My first alarm was an EST Genisus Horn strobe. Getting that thing was the happiest day of my life! That thing is amazing.

First pull station: Fire Lite bg12
First NA: Est g1rf-hdvm

[Caleb_Culwell (Locks and alarms)]

I think my first NA was a knock off spectralert classic
My first pull station was a fire-lite bg-12

[Alexis_T (Alexis C. R. Trinquet)]

First device I ever got was a older Legrand manual call point, which I still have but unfortunately broken (two tabs on the bottom that hold the front have snapped), so out of sentimental value, I kept it.

First NA I got is a Klaxon Sonos sounder, in fact I got two of 'em and gave one to a friend.

These are my very first devices.

Simplex 4903-9101 strobe, 2901-9838 horn, backbox combo
Standard Electric Time MAJ-6 class change bell

My first real fire alarm was an Edwards 6" 333-D Fire Bell. My mom got it from her work for me, which was a nursing home with an Edwards 6500 and 6700 fire panel.

My First pull station was a FireLite BG-12, and my first alarm was. a red Gentex Commander 3 strobe.

It’s funny to see that most people’s first Pull Station was a BG-12.

My Edwards 17 vibrating bell was the very first piece I ever acquired for my collection, which was roughly ten years ago from a garage sale. I still have it today as a static display for an alarm board my stepdad built for me. I’m hoping I can wire this up someday.

[Alex_Wilkinson (Organham4903)]

Is it dc or ac? What voltage?

[Simplex4100es]

My first alarm was the rip off Spectralert Classic

[Caleb_Culwell (Locks and alarms)]

What was your first pull station

[BigKayCea]

I don’t have an answer, unfortunately. There are no markings on the device that indicate the voltage.

[Simplex4100es]

The rip-off BG12, the first one I wired up was a 4099 by simplex

[Starshadow_folf]

My first pull was a EST Siga

[Kai_Bannon]

I remember havng an vintage Edwards pull station with a missing break rod, inside was a basic metal switch and had 8 screw on wire terminals on the back.

[Alex_Wilkinson (Organham4903)]

Lol. I just realized I picked that twice

[Starshadow_folf]
