Since Monday (08/16) we've been testing at a Jr./Sr. High School. Today we went in extra early at 6 AM to conduct the bell test. This building is unique as it was originally constructed in 1969 but was added onto multiple times throughout the years, the most time being in 2009. As such, the alarm system for the building has gone through quite a few changes. The original system was a Simplex system, most likely a 4207 or 4208. In June 1988, the 4207/4208 was replaced with a Simplex 4002 and the old signals (which were probably bells) were replaced with 2901-9838 horns on 2903-9001 light plates. The school was added onto a couple of times since then and somewhere along the way the 4002 was ripped out and replaced with an EST3X, however they kept the -9838 horns and 2903 light plates. Areas that were renovated or added onto the first time (such as the science wing seen later in the video) had Genesis horn/strobes installed. In 2009, the junior high was added onto the building and again, Genesis signals were installed, however the science wing Genesis signals are white with no "FIRE" lettering and although not seen, the 2009 era signals are red with the "FIRE" lettering. Also not seen in this video are 6" Wheelock bells in the boys' locker room and the weight room. We found two defective signals during this test, one being the Wheelock 46T-G6-24-WS bell/strobe in the boys' locker room, and the second being a -9838/2903 combo in the gym that was damaged. A couple of the 2903 light plates had failed prior and the -9838 horn was kept and the 2903 plate was replaced with a 4905-9921 plate with a 4904 ADA strobe (you can briefly see one of them at :16). I'm not sure if that's what will be installed to replace the damaged signal in the gym, but it is a possibility. As you can see at the end, some of the 4207/4208 equipment was retained and is still functional (fan shut downs). The 4002 has been gutted and is now used as a junction box and it also houses a NAC booster. Pretty unique system!

That school looks creepy in the dark, especially with the fire alarm, and that light on the alarms. Also the fact that there were no people around for most of the walk through made it creepy.

I must say, you have undoubtedly been putting out some of the best "from the field" content since the early days of KZfaq with SimplexTech and twoplyboy. It's really refreshing to actually be able to see and hear the devices doing a full activation rather than watching a 10 minute walk test video while looking at a tile floor. Seems like you've seen a fair share of neat systems too in your time as an inspector so far. Keep up the good work man, your videos are scratching me right where I itch!

I honestly will never understand why often technicians slap newer alarms onto bell grilles instead of removing the bell & grille completely, putting a huge trim plate over the hole (provided such a huge trim plate exists), & then mounting the new alarm to that (other than lazyness of course). I see that in this case they must have had to cut holes in the grilles for the 9838 horns to fit through. Good thing there's no audible signals in the stairwells with how reverberant the average stairwell can be. I have no idea why Edwards/EST makes Genesises *without* "FIRE" lettering that are meant for fire alarm applications: how do you know what it's indicating if it doesn't clearly say so on the device? I take it that there were once much larger pull stations where the current ones are going by the large trim plates behind them. Well of _course_ the 4002 was gutted, because technicians these days just plain don't have any respect for preserving fire protection history/are just plain lazy. Odd how at 2:04 that horn/light briefly stopped sounding. At 1:19 & 2:08 I hear weird buzzing sounds, any idea what that was? 4:56 Nice to see there's at least one 2903-9001 + 2901-9838 that's _not_ mounted on a bell grille.

Regarding the Genesis "FIRE" lettering, the purpose of the "running man" was to illustrate it was a fire alarm. I guess either some people were still confused, or codes frequently require fire alarm signals to be labeled with "FIRE". The brief stop at 2:04 happens randomly with all EST equipment/panels. I'm not sure why. That brief pause happened 3 or 4 times during this test.

Update: the reason for the brief stop at 2:04 is because of the EST sync protocol. EST signals are so accurate that they can go minutes without becoming out of sync. The sync protocol simply interrupts the circuit once every couple of minutes to keep the EST signals in sync, and it appears these Simplex signals are hooked up to a NAC booster set up for EST sync protocol. I actually just learned about this yesterday!

not 9838, These are 9833's on 2903-9002 Plates. If You look at a later point of the video(at 4:25) You can see the Grille. And 9838's have a Lower db rating, and a Higher Pitch. The 9833 have the same output sound, so others often get confused on these. Plus these are Much Louder. However there is a 9838 at the beginning on a Newer 4904-9139 Horizonal-Mount Strobe Plate
