Alarm Vids 10.0

This’ll be the last of the “series”. No, that doesn’t mean we’ll stop posting vids, it’s just I don’t get the reason why we started doing the volume thing in the first place. So, this thread will always remain open, and have much more posts than previously.

“Cheers” to the first of many videos to come! :smiley:

That’s Providence Place Mall in RI. That place has a knack for false alarms. The system’s a CP MXL system with I-SM speaker/strobes. Some have been replaced with S-HP-MCSs and others with Wheelock E70s. Lots of remote strobes in the stores too. Pulls are the “Lift and Pull” type.

Pretty unusual indeed! I remember seeing a speaker like that (made by Federal Signal) branded as a Simplex 4090-91 or something, it must be from at least the early 1980s. Probably it was a 2001 or even a 2100 with voice-evacuation, but then they replaced it with a 4100U.
