For a while now i’ve had in the back of my mind an idea to write down what type of alarm device i think each brand is probably best known for. I think for Wheelock, it might be bells.
@@BlackLightning4547 well i mean the generic types of alarm devices. Strobes, bells, horns, chimes, Etc. Which is best at which? But also it was awesome of you to reply. Keep doing what you do man!
Can you either confirm or deny if the bell in this video link is the same as the one in your video? ua-cam.com/video/F-9Mn9kD3MM/v-deo.htmlsi=GuUpKYZiKTEdLojt

Thank you, glad you enjoyed. Bells aren't exclusive to the USA although uncommon. You'll most likely find systems using fire bells generally outside the US.
Ah, well older systems here are usually set to continuous. However, after 1996(I believe), NFPA mandated that fire alarms need to sound in a Temporal 3 pattern to signify fire evacuation.
Bro this is insane I have phobia when it komes to fire alarms I will not go into a building when I see I gotta walk pass them unless I’m with people lmao
I hear ya, I used to be afraid of fire alarms back in elementary school due to the noise they produced as well as the fact that they made me jump every time. However, what made me become a hobbyist and overcome that fear, was my middle school's fire alarm system. Firstly, they weren't loud, but the way the alarms flashed, look, and sound, somehow just made me attached, and I've been a collector ever since.
The strobe plate in the hallway is a Simplex 4903-9101, the rest are Wheelock. WS1T-24 remote strobe in my room, 46T-G10-24-WH bell/strobe in my closet, and a MBS-G10-24 bell/strobe in the gym.
Well if it's professionally installed in a building, then yes as that is tampering. However, if it's yours from your personal collection, doing that will void the UL listing of the device but no big deal
Not illegal to my knowledge, especially since this system is categorized as a demonstration system and not a life safety system since the house's smoke alarms are still in place. If you were to remove those smoke alarms and put a commercial fire alarm system in their place, then that system will need to comply with NFPA as well as approved by your local AHJ.
Nobody:
Not a soul:
Not the universe
You: Loud sounds ain't enough, heyyy lets install 4 bells 🤣🤣
Lmfaoo, did you not see my new years sound off? Now that's different different
@@BlackLightning4547 🤣🤣🤣
THIS WAS AWESOME Bell-strobe combinations are so cool!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bell mounted on a ceiling I think this my first time ever seen a bell mounted on a ceiling
Definitely pretty rare to find them on the ceiling, probably because it's not ideal for the striker assembly.
Love the bells! Great system test.
Thank you
I have severe ptsd from a fire, it's so bad that I can't even remember what happened because my brain memoryholed it and this is strangely comforting.
Sorry to hear that
Me too!
Im no therapist but maybe its comforting because these devices are meant to protect/alert you from fires so your brain associates it with safety
Your typical Canadian fire alarm system.
It sure was
Everybody gangsta till BlackLightning 4547 got 4 bells in 1 system test
Hahahaha, ain't no one like me
Me: *sets off 20 bells*
As of right now, I have ten bells total. Gotta get some more.
One of them sounds like an typical school bell, and one sounds like an bell you hear during an wrestling match of something. Pretty intresting.
Yeah fo'sho
I’m gonna probably get a fire alarm control panel and hook it up to the mains so I can sound off my alarms
Go for it 👍🏼
Beautiful sound
Glad you enjoyed!

Awesome test!
Thank you!

Eccentric bells sounds a little bit harsh and has a shorter decay time than normal concentric bells
Interesting
Got another question, do the wheel lock bells Sound shitty in March time like they do in code 3?
If it's the MB(motor bell) series, then yes, they won't sound good coded. The 43t and 46t vibrating bell series will sound good coded however.
Wow wheelock bells sound good but. Noisy even
Pretty loud for sure
the one near the panel is so loud
Was using a different phone and its mic was super sensitive
Question, why exactly is it on that weird painful code… it’s cool but really weird… and what exactly is that called? What kind of type?
Timestamp?
@@BlackLightning4547sorry forgot I left this comment 3:20. What is it called when the bells do that super fast ring?

This strobe is that faraday or Siemens?

Yo nice video
Thank you
Imagine switch the Wheelock 46T-G10 bell gong to the wheelock MBS bell mechanism motor then that would be cool and what its gonna sound like🤔🤔🤔💭💭💭
It'll sound the same, It'll just not sound right when coded because the motor coast to a stop, it's not instantaneous like the 46t's vibrating circuit
@@BlackLightning4547 ohhhh ok😊👌🏻
Just one question Black lightning is it illegal to erase the fire lettering on a single gang strobe
Well if it's professionally installed in a building, then yes as that is tampering. However, if it's yours from your personal collection, doing that will void the UL listing of the device but no big deal
@@BlackLightning4547 so you can erase it if you have it in your personal collection
Yes if you so desire, you own the device at that point so you can do whatever you want with it

Is it really illegal to install fire alarms in your house? Irdk I’m just curious
Not illegal to my knowledge, especially since this system is categorized as a demonstration system and not a life safety system since the house's smoke alarms are still in place.

Its odd how you said that the bg8 was a bg1 quite odd for u to say that
BNG-1R is its actual model #. I don't make things up. People just call it a BG-8 because where it stands in Honeywell's lineup.
I was mistaken
