Nah, Siemens U-MHU-MCS horn strobes are louder. Don’t believe me, go watch my most recent video called “Summer fire alarm test at a school” those Siemens alarms are ear shatteringly loud.

Their louder than the speaker strobes.

@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554 Ай бұрын

Cool Siemens system! Sounds like Siemens U-MHU-MCS Horn Strobes and U-MHT-MCS Smoke Alarm sounder Horn Strobes. The candela on these horn strobes is not very noticeable so it's hard to tell whether it's on 15 (15/75), 30 (30/75), 75 or 110CD. I am wondering why the schools in your area look almost the same

@Gentex_Commander_2 Ай бұрын

Because they were all built within 5 years of each other and they were designed and constructed by the same architect and construction company.

That’s the benefit of EST fire alarms. They automatically sync without the need for a synchronization module. Just about every other make and model of fire alarm device requires some sort of sync protocol in order to sync up fire alarms.

i'm not a fan of the pull station cover, cause if someone threw a ball, the cover will open and a loud siren will activate. That's why i like the stopper better because 1. it's at the bottom and 2. it prevents false alarms from opening the stopper, plus it will have a siren inside the stopper.

@Gentex_Commander_2 7 ай бұрын

If you replay the video you will briefly see me struggle to open the cover. Don’t worry, they are plenty secure. But yes I also prefer STI 2 stoppers with horn over the Sigcom stoppers.

@@Gentex_Commander_2the stoppers with the siren is much way better because of better protection against false alarms and again it’s easy to open the cover from the bottom

@ZakWolf 5 ай бұрын

@@Gentex_Commander_2, it seems for a while in the early-to-mid 2000s Simplex had a preference for the Sigcom Sentry covers. There was a middle school near my old house that had a Simplex 4100U voice-evac system installed in 2003 with those covers, and I remember the piercing sound they made. Even after the 4100U got replaced with a Notifier NFS2-640 system, they kept the Sigcom covers. But since the late 2000s Simplex seems to have gone back to mostly using STI's Stopper covers, even if it's just for protecting pull stations in a gymnasium.

Looks like part of the system is missing sync. Could be a simple programming issue or a card/module is bad. I’d consider checking the configuration on every A/V and making sure everything is set to Gentex Sync. If everything is synced and it was evident it is the card/module that is the problem rather than a configuration issue, I’d move everything to power supplies and set those power supplies to slave sync off the panel which I would set to Gentex Sync to ensure 100% everything will sync up. I wouldn’t use selective silence as it is no longer allowed according to code.

@@tkprod19 they’re supposed to sync regardless. Drill function doesn’t make a difference as it’s mainly up to NAC settings what is synced. Plus, it’s part of the fire code that all notification appliances sync up when activated.
