Ooh SafeTech’s back! And Judging by the thumbnail us fans of electromechanical alarm horns will have a symphony. Even a MASS on a rare ADA Strobe plate.
For a small panel I gotta say the 4007es is one of the most versatile units I’ve ever seen. I have experience working with these and programming these as I own one and es.exe unlicensed version 6.01.03. Not only that, I got accepted at Lincoln tech trade school which is a direct way into JCI academy which will get me a job at SimplexGrinnell.
My middle school has a system with all of the same devices, maybe except for the panel. The school’s last addition was added on in 1989/1990, and it still had the 2903 combos, 4251-20s, and the 2098-9636 smokes (2 wire). My best guess is that the original panel is/was a 4100 classic with a bunch of zone cards.
Yep, the Simplex 4007ES is a popular choice for replacing older hardwired conventional Simplex panels. My therapist's office even recently had their Silent Knight IFP-100 panel recently replaced with an Autocall-branded 4007ES panel (the system is mostly conventional, with the only addressable device being the smoke detector near the panel). The System Sensor MA horn on the strobe plate is pretty unique. I don't see installs like those often; usually they just go with a regular horn/strobe on an adapter plate.
Based on my experience of actually setting up one for a demonstration board, its a very powerful little unit with a lot of capabilities for a system that size. It can do everything from pure conventional to full addressable with addressable notification.
@@achannelwithnopurpose1977, yep. And with IDnet address expansion to 250 devices, a Simplex 4007ES could make a decent Simplex 4010 replacement. (The 4010ES would too, but it doesn't have a touchscreen, and it would likely also be better for replacing a Simplex 4020 panel.)
@@ZakWolf I could go either way with the touchscreen. Its cool and has many things that i prefer over button style displays but theres still plenty of things button displays do better like survivability even though Simplex still has the best touchscreen options on the market by far. As for your remark on the 4010es, the 4010es is definitely a next of kin to the 4020 especially when you look at its internal parts. Also, you can have a touchscreen on the 4010es as it is compatible with the ESTSD (ES touch screen display) like the 4100ES. The ESTSD is better than the 4007ES touchscreen in many ways in my opinion.

There’s a museum I visited two and a half years ago and they had (and still have) 2903’s with 9838’s paired with 4251-20’s, 2098-9636’s (I think) and a 4602-9102! Others include a pair of Wheelock RSSP’s each with an NH.
Nice SafeTech is back with another cool fire alarm video!🤩 And the new intro is Amazing!😁 But I would definitely like to see more videos with Simplex 9838s like the alarms from Fire alarm test 45.😗
I know a bunch of stores at my local mall that have the 4007ES (some of them have voice evacuation systems, which might indicate they're networked together).
Hey SafeTech, nice to see another video from you! Hope you're doing okay! (cool new intro too!) Nice to see that 80s-era Simplex system still working great! (even if the panel's been replaced & some of the horns sound a bit off) It almost seems like some of the 2903-9001s (like the one at 8:06) have red bulbs in them! ("I found a red light bulb & I just had to try this!") I do believe this video has some SafeTech firsts in it: dropping your keys, talking during a normally silent (voice-wise at least) walk test video, & sounding the system off normally before _then_ putting it in walk test. 6:58 Huh, now _there's_ a combo you don't see every day! Wonder how that came to be... 9:16 Door holders huh? Kinda unusual for such an old system (unless they were added when the 4007ES was). Are they de-energized during walk tests or only during non-walk test alarms? (since I can't imagine how long it would take to then have to go & re-open all of the doors held open by them, though you _do_ only go & enable the panel's "door holder disable" function _after_ you finish the walk test) 13:29 That MA-12/24 on a _very_ rare RP24-series strobe plate is _quite_ neat! (probably doesn't flash at the required 1FPS/60FPM thanks to both the visual & audible signals likely being on one circuit though) 17:46 Is there a reason some Simplex systems do that: sound the signals after walk test is turned off? I don't really see a reason for that. 20:58 As proprietary as the ES-series is, I'm at least glad that the 4007ES (for one at least) silences the signals _immediately_ upon pressing "Alarm Silence", since some panels seem to take a _ridiculous_ amount of time to do so (still takes forever to reset afterwards though).
Walk-test often disables door holders & programmed control points. DH were tested separately in full alarm. Also unless you set the walk-test to silent signaling it will sound the signals briefly when you turn it off.
@@safetech Ah okay. Well that makes no sense to me: what's the point of that? (heck it seems like they kept sounding until you set walk test to "silent")
@@trainknightt I know, that's how walk test works on Simplex panels: what I can't understand is why they would sound when walk test is _turned off/disabled._
Always nice to see another SafeTech video! The random ADA MASS and the random BG-12 were an odd.. Obviously they replaced original devices but I always tried to replace with same brand when I'd have to replace a piece in the field. Just an interesting choice.
Welcome back Billy! Just out of curiosity, was this a quarterly inspection? I only saw pull stations being tested. Or did you test the smokes off camera, I know that can be difficult to film. I know it is for me when I have to carry a solo pole and record😂
Sometimes I wish you would upload the full and uncut versions. While you might think it is boring there are a lot of hidden details and moments that could interest enthusiasts
Hi SafeTech! I just subscribed and I've almost watched all your videos! I'm just curious, what's your favorite fire alarm brand/company and your favorite model or models from that brand/company? Mine would be Simplex TrueAlerts! Love those things to death cuz in my opinion, they sound a lot better than Wheelock MT's and Wheelock AS's as I hate Wheelock and those Wheelock models i just mentioned!
My middle school I think still has Simplex TrueAlerts on code 3 thank god for that! And my high school used to have older/vintage Simplex fire alarms that beeped on code 3 (not sure the model number) and some Simplex TrueAlerts on code 3! But now my high school and the college I work at which is Johnson County Community College in Overland Park Kansas both have Simplex TrueAlert ES's (at least I think that's what the model is)
My elementary school used to have Wheelock MT's on continuous in every fucking room but thank God they're gone now! I think they're Simplex TrueAlerts ES now which is a lot better in my opinion!

Code 3 mechanical horns are SUPER underrated
It's been a while since he tested system with Mechanical horns on code 3
Just when you think the legend has retired he comes back with a masterpiece like this
Those long hallway shots are super sick

Thanks for going back to that MA/SS, I like hearing those 800HZ tones.

Best video ever, the fire alarms are awesome, and the different fire alarm at the end, and the fluorescent exit signs are really cool and great.
Glad to see you’re back!
Welcome back. Loving the test as always
Glad to see you back!

The legend.. has returned.
finally a good fire alarm inspection consisting of simplex 2903s!! my holy grail fire alarm
Great Video, Billy! Hope you are well!
Yo safe tech is back!!! I really love your videos, and nice intro! I miss the old one though
Legend returning missed you❤
Holy MOTHER of God!!! He’s Back!!!!!!
Whoa it’s good to see your back bro it’s been a good minute since your videos been on here an what good with a old Simplex 2903s bro
Love the new intro.
Nice SafeTech is back with another cool fire alarm video!🤩 And the new intro is Amazing!😁 But I would definitely like to see more videos with Simplex 9838s like the alarms from Fire alarm test 45.😗

See everyone tomorrow 11ET !
woo hoo!
Keep the vids coming
Thanks 😊
Yes I'm a fan! Please keep the videos coming!
Especially Simplex TrueAlerts AKA always my favorite fire alarm!
Another great vid from you!
Absolutely beautiful system! Long live mechanical horns!! haha
8:30 car locked
8:07 car unlocked

Welcome back dude
It’s also rare you find 9833s now a days
This must be a fun job for you!
Aye that's a W system right there!
He has uploaded again!
20:45 that 2901-9833 sounds so goofy!

Bro couldn’t even read the description without running out of breath 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Only recorded the signal portion.

Happy New Year and great fire alarm test Can’t wait for the next one Fire Alarm Test 76 in 2025 Enjoy your day
Nice to see you back! I wonder what all those “zeros” in between were for.

When SafeTech walks into your place, you KNOW it's gonna get loud XD

Wow he’s still alive
I find it interesting that there is one MASS mixed in with these mechanical horns
HE'S BACK AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS.
Cool video!!!!
looks like a senior citizens facility
da king
Later model horn at 8:04.
Cool
Safetech can you do a paperwork video XD for the authentic inspection experience
HES BACK BRAddah! WE THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!
System Sensor strobe plate!
I bet this system was in continuous on the original panel
Long time no see. Cool system. The Notifier NBG12 is a bit odd.
I think they replaced it in house several years back
Woop woop cool
Billy what good been so long 😊
Is that a new system or old
4:52 yes
6:25 dropped his keys
19:52 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
This video kinda reminds me of Fire Alarm Test #46.
Hi!! How can I get in touch with you for a potential collaboration? Thank you.
I’d really really prefer the 2903’s to be on either Continuous or March Time
Finally
My elementary school used to have Wheelock MT's on continuous in every fucking room but thank God they're gone now!
I think they're Simplex TrueAlerts ES now which is a lot better in my opinion!
How many 2903s did each hallway have
2-3 per
Can anyone tell me how much a 2903 fire alarm cost back then?, how much for just 1 alarm. :)
No more ad
Never seen in my life 6:26
It Ben a long time since you made a video
I know. Im trying my best but extremely busy as always.
@@safetech i konw you are so busy
more fire alarm test
