YOUR homemade fire safety devices/diagrams

[SpectrAlert]

Post YOUR circuit diagrams/sketches or photos of homemade life safety equipment here.

IMPORTANT: Please remember NOT to use homemade devices as your sole means of protection. For that, look to large, UL listed brands, like First Alert or Kidde. (Unless you can find a way to get it UL listed and NFPA certified.)

Looks like it would give excellent strobe coverage, but it looks like Simplex might sue you.

Not sure it would if both strobes face straight up & down, which is why pretty much all newer NAs have the strobe on the front facing forward. Good point about a potential plagiarism lawsuit from Simplex too.

I don’t see the simplex plagiarism. wheelock may have something to say though.

Delhoogatectrobe: A combination of sprinkler, smoke/heat detector, and horn strobe. Also work in “deluge mode” in which the glass bulbs can be knocked off and release the water under the control of a release panel - A tiny heat element does the job.

The “FIRE” lettering & horn grille being where they are greatly resemble the way that Simplex’s 4903-series devices look. And yes, maybe Wheelock too (even though they stopped making the alarms that have that kind of strobe decades ago).

I know Simplex once made a combination TrueAlarm/sprinkler as a joke that they called the “TrueSquirt”, complete with a fake data sheet for it:

Here’s mine: the C-Series Multi-signal Horn. It can be used in residential or commercial applications when paired with the Alterator I-71 conventional FACP.
