Jumping on the bandwagon and sharing fire alarm test and inspections.
This is a local high school with a Simplex 4005 Panel and a NAC extender whose manufacture escapes me at the moment; 229 Smokes, 22 Pulls, 20 Heats, 23 (!) Duct Detectors. 46 A/Vs, 14 Strobes, 30+ Door Holders and several fan shutdowns.
No idea of model numbers of any of the devices - not something I really care about unless they break. It's all Simplex except for one System Sensor A/V we used to replace a bad horn and the upgraded Edwards stuff in the Auditorium.
Couple of the A/Vs are on their way out but smacking them seems to help.
For some inexplicable reason it trips a Silent Knight 5207 which is used as the dialer...my theory is that the original Standard Electric system had a leased line dialer direct to the local PSAP which they stopped using and added the 5207 to use the PSTN instead. Why Simplex didn't off it and add a dialer module to their fancy panel I don't know - as all it trips into us is "Fire Alarm" or "Trouble"...no other info.
One day I'll get into it and maybe do some reprogramming....after climbing into 10 different penthouses to test duct detectors and walking the whole school countless times I'd had enough for the day. Also on the list is reprogramming it for temporal code but that's another can of worms since the auditorium bells do it internally and I'd have to isolate them on a continuous loop or see if they can be set to continuous...blah blah blah boring techno-babble lol.
I did my best to conceal the identity of the high school for numerous reasons, if you recognize it please keep it to yourself.

Mechanical horns are for sure no joke. My 7002T is louder than the SpectrAlert Advance as one going off in a room won’t make me cover my ears unless I were to be right under it. My 7002T however makes me cover my ears from across the room and even vibrates my body a bit when I go near it. Even in this video, the mechanical horns basically drown out that advance. Those must be as loud if not louder than a 7002T

I know where that school is. Took the SAT at this school and went to high school two towns over. Nice to see that they haven't yet replaced everything with an EST 3 system and Genesis horns like so many places in the area have done. My former district ripped out the Simplex systems in most of the buildings and gave everything EST 3s. Heck, the local large university, once almost exclusively Simplex, is going to EST when they upgrade buildings.

I guess in their books, not bad enough to put some random piezo horn in the 2901/2903 strobe plates...

Interesting; I'm surprised they didn't just use a Simplex 4100-series panel or whatever when they initially installed the system. This also kind of reminds me of the campus center at my friend's university. They apparently used to have a Standard system, but in the mid-90s they replaced most of it (except a few heat sensors) with a Simplex 4100 system initially set up with zone adapter modules for use as a conventional system (though some addressable devices were added over the years), and they have similar electromechanical Simplex 4903 horn/strobes, along with TrueAlert horn/strobes in the renovated areas.

Simple answer to this: Simplex is insanely expensive . Beyond insane actually. Taxpayers buy fire alarms for schools, and Panels can be replaced with equivalent without upgrading. That is not the first Simplex Panel that building had.

I suspect that's Tyco's fault... Because they seemed to be more popular in the 1990s... At least since the 2010s, it looks like they're more likely to go to Notifier or Silent Knight, especially Vermont... But, I dunno if Simplex was ever as popular in Vermont? Vermont and western New Hampshire were more likely to have FCi and Wheelock. Except for maybe the True Alert, it looks like Simplex jumped the shark! :(

My freaking elementary school had that fire alarm up until I was in fourth grade and that thing was probably my greatest fear. At least my school now has an alarm that isn’t continuous and flashes about three times before it decides to destroy your ears. But seriously that thing was so loud and without warning and so unnecessary. Going to the bathroom was terrifying because it would mean I would be stuck in the stall with that demon screeching in my ear if the alarm went off.

This system sounds better than the modernized system at my high school. Notifer FACP, already has issues. Several notification appliances squeal in continuous, half the strobes don't flash in sync, stairwell horns are bugging out, the sprinkler system isn't in good shape after a few years (pipe leaks, some having to be removed from classrooms, only half the school has sprinklers), half the pulls are smashed, damaged, drawn on, scratched, etc., and worst of all the panel tends to crash when tests are conducted because the annunciators will go from the standard temporal buzz to a continous buzz with the LCD's reading SYSTEM CRASH (something along those lines). When the Notifier guy was there, all he did was run a standard test, let it cycle a few times, reset system (crashed during reset), rebooted it, and scanned it for viruses and bugs. He left right after, didn't inform the custodians or administrators. The system is still acting up, and with it getting warmer, tests are going to be more common so we meet state requirements for drills.

Strobes rarely fail, lol. The only problem I see is that horns manufactured by Faraday, like these, have contact issues and are more likely to fail when installed near a doorway to outside. Despite several working fine as outdoor horns. I suspect corrosion, oxidation or sticky dust... If multiple ones sound like they're at a low volume and/or a dead strobe, then I would suspect a wiring problem in a wall, if not the panel...

Annunciators are not just there to reset and silence the main reason they are in the front lobby of just about every building is so the fire dept knows where the fire is. Also if the main panel is in a locked room in the basement often people won't see a trouble indication on the system hence why there is an annunciatior by the main entrance so staff can tell if they need to call a service company. Not just reset and silence haha

I believe that the one System Sensor A/V goes with the Silent Knight dialer. Besides, the movie theater I went to see Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice has those kind of appliances by Simplex. No idea if it's a buzzy horn, truck horn, or speaker.

It's simple: you cannot replace any part of a fire alarm with used parts. Ever. And you cannot buy from Simplex. Ever. So if it breaks, it gets replaced with what's available.
@brettman273
@brettman273 8 жыл бұрын
The Silent Knight dialer is ancient; it's what we put in many years ago (and frankly...pretty good stuff, tons of it still in use). So when we took over monitoring the system we put it in because we can't program the Simplex panel. Personally, I Wouldnt have done it that way...all we get at our central station from that giant system is a general fire or trouble trip. Would have been better to recommend paying Simplex to reprogram the internal dialer to call us so we at least get zone info...the panels do Contact ID and several other protocols .

I plan on it; however, the vast majority of the inspection I do are small locations - usually houses or residences owned by the state or nonprofits that care for autistic and similary disabled people. 20-30 smokes, handful of pulls, CO detectors. Usually Fire-Lite or #$^$#% Mircom junk. So they aren't as involved...

Fahrenheit4051 I'm usually pretty nice about it, I have to hear that all of the bells work - doesn't mean I have to trip them a hundred times. I usually do silent walk tests and bang them out once for a longer time at the end. That's the tradeoff I offer the customer. I know them all pretty much because I do the same inspections over and over.

brettman273 Fascinating. Now, I have a question. My college silent walk-tests their fire alarm annually. But they _never_ sound the signals. And they never conduct fire drills either, because of a loophole where they reclassified themselves as a business, even though they're a community college. How is this allowed?
@brettman273
@brettman273 9 жыл бұрын
My guess is that either A) they don't care and get away with it or B) Your state doesn't specify how things are to be tested - essentially leaving a loophole. Businesses here are not exempt from fire inspections although in NY it's all about the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) - Town, City, County, State Entity, etc. They generally dictate what they want with some state oversight. Most of the time major remodels and things like that are usually what generate desperate calls begging for inspections for private businesses because their inspector showed up and demanded they do one. I have my books from the state classes I took for my certification somewhere, I'll try to find them and dig them out; most of my working knowledge is more about the systems themselves and what has to be tested - not so much on the upgrade or install side.

I actually read up on this high school. I know the name but I won't reveal. The land this school is on used to be a farm until the late 60s. Then the farm came down so the town could have a high school which opened for the 1970-1971 school year. So that Standard panel was probably manufactured in the late 60s. And I would guess they remodeled the school sometime between 1994 to 1998 with some new wings and the Simplex system. And it looks as though the contractor in the 60s and 70s then in the 90s cheaped out on getting the school sprinkled. Though I see many unsprinkled buildings, I'd hate to see the 2003 Station Nightclub fire happen again in this school on account of a stunt of poor judgement

Sounds right. Let's see if you are.. It doesn't really matter anymore as the company I worked for at the time no longer exists, it's been years, and schools are public property, the school in this video is East Aurora High School in the small rural suburb of Buffalo, NY of the same name. The middle school video is the same district. There are no legal consequences of filming on public property, and any confidentiality agreement implied by my company evaporated with them. The company that bought them out is a joke in Western New York that just got bought out themselves by some giant crapola companh so I won't bother mentionimg them. So there you go.
