This is a test of an ancient system. The panel is a Notifier System 5000. Most Horn/strobes are Federal Signal 450D + VALS however there are some surprises throughout the video. The smokes are the following:
BRK 1800
BRK 2800
System Sensor 2400
System Sensor 2W-B
System Sensor 2WT-B
Pulls are all FireLite BG-12’s.
This system is fully operational and there is zero plans of it being removed. This system could easily go on for another 2 decades! Next year I will be replacing that 7002T if I return for the next inspection. I hope you enjoy!

The only reason I didn’t swap it out was cause 3x BRK 1800 died and I had to replaced them. We usually don’t replace stuff the first inspection but we had to. I’ll make sure I swap it out next year.

That FWR is gonna kill those horns. I think its about time the system had an upgrade to full system sensor and a newer notifer panel considering the permanent damage being those horns have and the newer system sensor A/Vs that already exist anyway. I’m sure that eventually all the old horns are gonna end up like that 7002t because mechanical horns hate FWR DC.
