Thank you! An alarm station at our Makerspace was knocked open last year, and we couldn't figure out how to reset it. We just taped it shut and that's been ok. Today someone accidentally pulled one, and I found this reset video, and you had one of ours (the Simplex at 5:10) and I got them both fixed today.
Great video. FYI, the Gamewell/FCI pull station at 10:48 is actually made by Signal Communications (SigCom) in Woburn, MA. These can be branded under many different names as is the one you have, and can be single or dual action, toggle or momentary switch and can include a glass bar visible through the open window below the T-handle.
This saves me a lot of money, for I don't have to call an alarm guy, who will charge me a minimum of $250.00 to reset my pull station and then reset the fire panel. Your examples missed the the ones I've seen the most, They are the 'Mirtone' or 'Edwards' model, where it has a glass rod. Anyway, great video!
I recognize the notifier pull. They used it in the elementary and middle schools in my old district. The simplex “push in and pull down” they had in the middle school when I moved to a new district, and then the T pull they used in the junior high and high school.
Hello I’m a 11 year old kid and I wanted your opinion on something so I love fire alarms and I’m going to be buying a pull station here soon and I wanted to know what you think would be better so these are the 2 I like The Honeywell FireLite BG-12S And The 2099-9759 SIMPLEX What do you think is better out of those two??
Hey! Your an amazing youtuber, after i watched a few of your videos, now im obbsesed with them! I so far have a wheelock fire alarm strobe, and a simplex. Im pretty young, but still this is an amazing hobby, you taught we a lot!
If you want more fire alarms run through the fire alarm store to buy your own fire alarms so I'm going to get an FCI MS2 it's dual action okay you need a lift it just said left pole fire alarm and it's a life safety Ms 51 and it's just so far like bg6 and it's because it's just an f c i m s 6 and it's a Notifier obituaries it's a Notifier bg12lx it's because they have a game well I'm 69 that's a game well M60 9 it's because that's how you need to hold down too hard and use a little hex can just push it and it just slide to cover down and otherwise all of them has any buttons and this one at the Starbucks Legend This one sure doesn't this one does and this one
6:37 i have that at my elementary school and its the same brand and the same look so its kind of cool to hear the words “its becoming pretty uncommon” and i can see
does fire light have the same model as notifier or did notifier company later rebrand, also for the cover are you saying the pull station itself makes noise too or is it just cause an alarm is close to it typically
The west wing at my middle school has these 2:31, i believe its an addressable system. And the east wing has these 6:34, its a conventional system. Fun Fact: The west wing has Seimens (I believe rebranded) LED horn/strobes, and the east wing has Vibratone horn onlys and a grey 7002 horn. Seimens system is on code 3 and the FCI system is on continuous. Funny enough the east wing doesent have many smokies given its unsprinklered, though the 2 kitchens have Edwards recalled heat detectors every like 5 feet, XD. West campus has smoke detectors virtually EVERYWHERE which is actually suprising given that its sprinklered. Althoug the east campus was built in 1962 and was originally used as a high school, and the west campus was built in I believe 2014 maybe 2015, could be entirely different years for as far as i know. Just has to be within 2010 - 2020. One of the MS-2's at the front door is in the dual action variant but is missing the lift part, XD. Unsure what happened to it, it probably got stolen or something. (TO UA-cam: I DO NOT COMMIT CRIMES, DO NOT COME AFTER ME.) Not so suprising that the pull at the entrance got accidentally pulled TWICE, its a crowded area, they put an STI Stopper on it, after they did it it WENT OFF AGAIN. Either a duct smoke or the stopper did no good.
Good morning. We have 3 Fire-Lite BG12LO manual fire alarm boxes. The locks cannot open because of corrosion. Our alarm company wants $700.00 to replace them. Is there any way we could use something to loosen the lock? Thank you.
I know this is not a topic on the video, but the older Radionics fire alarm system at my Walmart had Edwards Integerties, but the system got upgraded and now they are all L-Series. However, there is one General Notification integerty by an employee door, but I’m not sure what it’s for. It has a blue strobe btw.
I have simplex 4903 alarms at my school. We also have 2 truealerts. And a few vintage horns. Pull stations: Simplex t bar. Every area of your school you see simplex t bars. In the first grade area there is a simplex chevron. It may or may not work. Also at our firehouse subs there is a vintage pull box.
@@jamesmccrackyn9160nope. Not even then. Pulling a fire alarm pull station will notify the fire department. Drills use a command that only sets off the fire bell.
That alarm that is in the cover is actually not nearly as loud as you think. The one in my school next to the classroom which is near an exit door is always coming loose for some reason, but It just sounds like a faint siren in the background.
@S.E.R. Safety do insurance bonds cover accidents over fire alarm systems that are caused by people who are supervised by a nicet certified person. Like say an inspector gives me the authorization to pull the fire alarm for a test or drill (like for an inspection job shadow) but the hardware (like the sti stopper) falls to pieces. Does insurance cover that? Apparently my school used to let me pull the fire alarm for a drill. Now they claim they cant let me do so anymore yet im competent and other people around the us (like you) get to pull the alarm for a drill (how this means anything is nfpa is a national code). Nfpa states as long as a competent certified person supervises, people can work on the system if needed (i assume thats for apprentices with master electricians). Im not even trying to login to the panel (Panel is a 4100u).
I feel this should be made known. I recognize this Gamewell-FCI Pull Station. About 7 years ago I had got one similar to this brand new in box for christmas. (Ademco branded with Model number 5140-MPS1) The inside was different in which mine had a button. Please be observant about the pull station. It could be a button or it could be a switch (as seen here).
10:23 those fire alarm pull stations are in the apartment building my sister and grandma live in. The notification appliances are a large Faraday bell (I don't know the model number). What's interesting is it's a 3 story building, one pull station and one bell on each floor, no panel either. The pull stations serve as simple on/off switches for the system
As a junior firefighter myself our high school has had a few situations where kids, some I know have pulled the fire alarm. I was at our firehouse because I can’t run with them yet but a friend of mine got himself in huge trouble

At my moms shop there is a fire riser room with a wheelock alarm outside
Keep in mind, Do not tape it again that's illegal.
Bg 10 I actually have one of those to my hand right now as I speak
Fun fact for those who didn’t know: the BG-10 was released in 1983, and the BG-12 was released in 1999.
Another fun fact: The BG12 series has been in production longer then the BG10 series.
what about? every pull station
boi what the hell boi
@@thatonekidsencere you have my humor
I knew that as well-these alarms never get old! I personally thought the Fire-Lite BG-12 came out in the late-2000s after I was born…

12:42 if you pause at the time mark on that alarm when pulled is says operated.
Does the Bg-10 have a special key hex key? I've tried both standard and metric and it's bigger than 3mm but smaller than 4
Where can I get a BG10 pull Station with a key? For whatever reason I cannot find it on the Internet.

Without the "i" and The last "S" in SIEMENS, I'll give the comment a like.

Did you have a simplex 4051 no strobe light
Ahhhh ur vids are sooooo good
I noticed some people just Key Activate Fire Alarm Systems while testing the System sometimes.
Quick question for you show me the storm chasing One time this is just a question .
Remember to never pull the fire alarm unless there's a fire
Or if you have permission to do it for a fire drill

Just open it with the key or tool and flip the switch and close it. If it’s a button then just close it again. Kinda like a simplex t bar

I have both the fire Lite version plus Notifier bg-12 and quick question can you get the fire-lite bg-12 as white I'm so darn curious
The bg-12 does not have a white/grey version. Only the bg-8 can have a white/grey or red color
