Found them on floors 1 to 14 at a 30-story Hyatt Regency Chaseville/Santa Angela Piccadilly in Chaseville. Alongside them are the rectangular 4903 speaker strobes on floors 15 to 19 and TrueAlert ES Ceiling Mount Speaker Strobes on the rest of the floors with Simplex Dual Action Pull Stations with covers on a Simplex 4100 Voice Evac System. The Simplex LifeAlarm Speaker, model unknown, is in our hotel room, which is 2311. Me, Bree, Patter, Sage and Danessa are in that room. 8 nights of Hanukkah. $1,176 plus expenses, rental car, and round-trip flight on Southwest. Very expensive Chaseville/Santa Angela trip!
+Craig Baker Sounds like an interesting system! Do you know if these were part of a retrofit install (along with the addition of the ceiling mount devices) or an original installation? If it is a retrofit install, they probably replaced some sort of 2903 device. If it's an original installation, interesting to see that these were the devices of choice.
+NewEnglandElevators I think the speakers in the mall itself are original, and the ceiling-mount strobes and speaker/strobes in the stores are retrofits. In some of the big stores (Barnes & Noble, Target, etc.) are basic horn/strobes.
I at last extracted the Edwards system technology voice evac and customized with simplex or Edwards signaling alarms and I also have some fire light silent knight notifier by honeywell voice evac and simplex voice evac as well but I need more all types of speaker strobe fire alarms and strobe only too. because we are about to build our new home condo apartment campus or somthing as well.
Ccs4646 It's interesting, the strobe my -9220 flashes slightly faster than the required 60hz (sometimes, TWICE a second!). It's a little strange considering mine was made in 1996, quite a while after the ADA code for strobes was introduced! Maybe that's why I anticipated this one was going to flash slightly faster. I actually might have made a slight mistake here, I somehow thought the 60hz part of the code for strobes was introduced in 1996, alongside the temporal coding for horns. I do know that the part where strobes had to be at least 15cd was introduced in 1992. Maybe I'm right, I'm not sure.
Yes. That came out in the later 1990's, though I'm not sure what year. I have a -9238, which is like the mentioned, but with a 110CD strobe. I made a video of it a long time ago, although, not that great of a video.
@@Canticuentos7035 That could make sense, except it says “date code” above the letters on the alarm, so they have to do something about the date. But I understand how difficult it is to know that.
+CN railfan The speaker is wired to an amplifier, which is connected to an MP3 device. Mine is a Pyle Home 40w PCM20A, which has a 25v, 70v, and even an 8-ohm output. Wiring the speaker to the amp is no different than wiring a strobe.
+NewEnglandElevators so I could just take a pair of earbuds and take the ear parts apart and use those wires on the alarm and the plug to plug into my phone or device will that work
+CN railfan No, it will not. For one, you will get a very soft output from the device. Furthermore, powering the speaker directly from the phone will not work, as it is not designed to do so (may actually damage the device. You will need the amplifier, and hook the device to the amp, and the speaker to the amp.
+CN railfan Just get an amplifier, wire the speaker terminals on the fire alarm to the terminals on the amplifier. Then take an audio "Y" adaptor, put the white and the red sides on the AUX part of the amplifier if it has the AUX mine is a really old amplifier so mine does, then, plug the single other end of the y adaptor in the audio jack of your computer, that is the way I do it, I use a touch screen windows computer, but like new England elevators said, there are ways to do it other than the computer like the mp3 player, then after you plugged in the audio jack to the single end of the adapter into the computer, if you have a computer, or if you want to use one, then play something on the computer and the sound will come out of the speaker! Make sure you have plugged in the amplifier, turned it on, and set it on aux if you can, but the newer amplifiers, unlike the one I have which is old that my dad gave me. That is the way I get the voice evacuation message to play on my speaker strobe(s). Check out my channel: "Casey Anderson". If you want I will do a tutorial on how to wire up a speaker, to an amplifier, to a computer. I will do MY best to help you. New England elevators helped me out a lot. At first I didn't know how to wire it up. I bought one a while back and tried to wire it using a regular adapter and it didn't work so I returned it when the whole time it DID work and I just wasn't doing it right. If you keep trying, you will get it. :) So check out the video and my channel! :) P.S. Don't use a regular adapter on the speaker because that could destroy the speaker. It didn't destroy mine luckily but that was just my luck. So I don't recommend you try that out and take a chance. :)
This is same fire alarm at my middle school. Same alarm, Same noise, Same everything! But ours are very, very, very quiet. Does anybody here know why our alarms are so quiet? Cause IDK! Also ours are Horizontal, not Vertical. 10:16
+immakidbruh Simplex's voice evac systems don't seem very loud, interestingly enough. This video actually makes the speaker seem louder than it actually is. Also, you must have the 4903-9146 at your school (15cd version, may differ for different candela strobes).
The best thing about all this is that it's amazing what this guy does.
Is this alarm connected to a panel in this video? If so what panel is it?
I actually don't have this connected to a panel, rather, a power supply and an amplifier which I have off-camera.

Nice!
Grant Bansemer Thank you! Glad to see you enjoyed this video!
hi
There was a 9147 (vertical version) mounted sideways at my old school
Where do you get your voice evac messages?
I think that Coral Ridge Mall in Coralville, IA has these along with ceiling-mount speaker/strobes.
+Craig Baker Sounds like an interesting system! Do you know if these were part of a retrofit install (along with the addition of the ceiling mount devices) or an original installation?

+Craig Baker Didn't think about a retrofit installation that way (the new ceiling mount devices). :D
Sweet keep up the good work
What if I want to wire any alarms up without a panel?
Why is that strobe so loud
I might sound like an idiot asking this but does the default message play on the alarm without a panel
Roganalarms 2004 No, I got an amp with an MP3 player.
NewEnglandElevators ok thank you for telling me
I at last extracted the Edwards system technology voice evac and customized with simplex or Edwards signaling alarms and I also have some fire light silent knight notifier by honeywell voice evac and simplex voice evac as well but I need more all types of speaker strobe fire alarms and strobe only too. because we are about to build our new home condo apartment campus or somthing as well.
Where is the website where you got the silent knight/fire lite voice evac message.
Look for voice evac products on their websites, and you should find some voice samples. That's what I used.
That alarm meets the ADA 60hz requirement.
Ccs4646 It's interesting, the strobe my -9220 flashes slightly faster than the required 60hz (sometimes, TWICE a second!).

they have the same alarm at Rave Cinemas in Ypislanti Township, MI
+Michael “randomvideos” Gatien Nice! Is this setup throughout the whole building?
+NewEnglandElevators yes :D
My school mounted a 9147 sideways like a 9146
Looks like a giant, scary version of a Gentex Commander 1/2/3.
The 4903 series was introduced in 1994 I think.
Makes sense; I have a -9805 from that year.
NewEnglandElevators Also, was there a horn strobe version of this with the -9236 horn? (The one sounding like the TrueAlert, albeit lower pitched)
Yes. That came out in the later 1990's, though I'm not sure what year. I have a -9238, which is like the mentioned, but with a 110CD strobe. I made a video of it a long time ago, although, not that great of a video.
NewEnglandElevators So just 110CD?
Fixed, yes.
How do you decipher the date codes on the back of the alarms?
That is not explainable, the reason why that is is because those alarms are very old and it is not When was the date they were made
@@Canticuentos7035 That could make sense, except it says “date code” above the letters on the alarm, so they have to do something about the date. But I understand how difficult it is to know that.
awesome!, hey, if you don't mind, could you maybe put a spectralert advance and wheelock 7002t together? (its ok if you say no)
+Nathan Keefer Possibly.
What does it sound like
Oh, all speakers have voice evac
+8:13 😂😂 but.
how do you wire a speaker strobe like the sound
+CN railfan The speaker is wired to an amplifier, which is connected to an MP3 device. Mine is a Pyle Home 40w PCM20A, which has a 25v, 70v, and even an 8-ohm output. Wiring the speaker to the amp is no different than wiring a strobe.

ok the simplex fire alarm has a simplex voice evac by default as it was finally intended.
This is same fire alarm at my middle school. Same alarm, Same noise, Same everything! But ours are very, very, very quiet. Does anybody here know why our alarms are so quiet? Cause IDK! Also ours are Horizontal, not Vertical. 10:16

That sounds like a nine a free free and the back of it almost looks like a federal signal and I mean the Simplex 4050 80s black back
These are placed everywhere at my school
you kinda sound like S.E.R Safety...
Hate to say it but that horn strobe is sus
“Walk to the nearest stairway”
I NEED ONE
when the fire alarm sus
I have the exact alarms thats on the test
And pull station
The alarm was east side
School
It looks like a stretched out AS
🤣🤣🤣 You are totally right!!
Where do you get the message from that you put on your mp3 player?
+Casey Anderson Fire-Lite and Silent Knight has sample messages on their websites somewhere. As for the Simplex one, I don't exactly remember.
***** Oh. Okay, cool.
Shut the fuck up
SUSAN SORRENTINO What?
