@@omgmyspleen3582well they’re required in newer big buildings like airports and high rises. In schools however, mechanical horns like these for sure get your attention better than anything else.

My 7002T is a good example of that as it never broke and it doesn’t drain my batteries very quickly at all
@@omgmyspleen3582at my school the mechanical horns were outside and on the courtyard and outside the bathrooms, and the speaker horns that were insanely loud was indoors, outside was a Siemens u-hn, and inside was Siemens umhu

Sounds like the systems that have since been replaced with TrueAlert voice evac systems that have been nothing but trouble, most are old enough to have had multiple different systems over the years as advancements were made, their largest campus even had one of the first Simplex Multiplex systems until it was replaced by 2 smaller panels which are setup to trip the other when one is activated
They're on the same system. The Simplex 4903-9219 and EST Genesis have to go off at the same time to alert people of an emergency that may occur in the building.
I can only imagine how those people react when those fire alarms goes off i remember fire alarms like these on here but the some of the schools i use to go to they didn't have strobe lights in the class rooms they were only out in the hallways but the intercom carried the louder noise or more scary sound or unusual sound but everybody don't know about those i only experienced one school that have strobe lights in the classrooms and they weren't horns or wheelocks they sounded like car alarms they weren't ear piercing but they had an outstanding loud sound they most of the time flashed before going straight into the sound but goodness gracious these horn alarms are louder than they use to be in the past OMG
The building is nothing short of awesome, there are fallout shelters, giant crawl spaces, huge incinerators, massive 20 foot squirrel-cage blower fans...
The first horn sounded like a duck that's losing its voice. LOL! This was the model of horn/strobe that was in my high school. It scared the crap out of me every time it went off.
+KyoRedBladeZR1 It's the anti-shake processing toy Google has. Works pretty well, but if you saw the original you'd understand; I was in a hurry and that friggin place is enormous.
Interesting that horn strobes in the cafeteria seem to be the only ones that are actually EST all the rest of the horns sound like Simplex 9838's. I'm guessing the panel is code-3 and the 9838's are in continuous from an older Simplex panel that was taken out at some point.
+Gary Beltz That's an addition; the EST panel was added when it was built, replacing a simplex 40-something. They cheaped out and left the existing Simplex stuff in. The third floor - where my coworker was - also has them.
***** I understand why they do that it's interesting though to see some doing code-3, some doing continuous, and sometimes in some places (not in this case) some doing voice.
My elementry school fire drill is loud and put in every classrooms. Middle school not bad. Those fire alarms are not in classrooms. Only outside and not even.
Spectralerts actually aren't that loud. They just go off at an awkward pitch that sounds loud to the human ear. EST Integrities are much louder maxing out an 103 decibels.
Spectralert Advances on low volume top out almost at 90 DB... I know the Wheelock NS and AS Are the same DB, but the NS Has a lower pitch so it doesn't seem as loud.
Assuming that's the school I think it is, nice video and cool to see that the district has kept their old system. How many districts in the area do you do inspections for? I ask because I went to middle school a couple towns north at a school of similar age and would love to see an inspection video that went into the bowels of it.
@@trainerred2063 Thx for the Correction. So the 9217 series does free run while the 9405 models can be synced(which is current coding). So, the 9405 can still be used as part of current coding(even though simplex only makes the piezo and speaker strobe devices
Funny you should mention that; I intentionally picked a different one assuming it wouldn't sound so bad....they're all getting old I guess. Also the pool area was under construction when I made the first video so I needed to go in there anyway.
To answer your question. The strobes are not synced because these are free run horn strobes. They go under the model numbers of 4903-9219 (15CD), 4903-9215 (30CD), and 4903-9217 (110CD). There are however sync models of these electromechanical horns such as the Simplex 4903-9401 (15CD), 4903-9403 (30CD), and 4903-9405 (110CD).
No, Simplex 4903-9217's in the Semi New portion of this School(The ones on Continuous), and EST Genesis horn/Strobes in the newer portion(Expansion/Cafe)
I had no idea those were EST Genesis and the ones on continuous were Simplex 4903-9217 mechanical horn/strobes and last time I was watching the video those horns are very loud. When I was in elementary school, we had Simplex 2901-9838 mechanical horns on a Simplex 2903 strobe plate that were on continuous. Then when I went to middle school we had Simplex Truealerts also on continuous. Then when I attended high school back in 2009, we had Simplex 4901-9816 mechanical horns on Simplex 4903 strobe plates that were surprise, surprise on continuous. If I had a fire alarm system, I set it to code-3 instead of continuous.
@@iangilldjsuperdude From the understanding of this Video, The System was Upgraded from a Older Simplex Panel to a GE EST3 Control panel. The EST3 was for a High-Rise Type Building. As for the Semi-New Portion, The 4903's Were working perfectly, so that Stayed. But The Cafe area got EST Genesis Horn/Strobes after an Expansion of this building Now, The system May have been Set to Continuous for the general fact that they may have been already installed and set to Non-Temporal(No coding - Continuous). And when the GE panel was Installed, The EST Genesis were Installed and they Did Code 3, while the sort of new wing Kept the 4903's On Continuous.(That was done because The 4903 models can sync, but will need a Module and If not, could slow the flash rate down by a ton). So it was just left to do Continuous. A residential I did an Internship at had System Sensor Spectralert advances(Both P2R models and The Celing Mount ones, which I assume is the P4R versions). The Campus was Built in 2016. The Panel was a Notifier NFS-320 model(From Honeywell), and the Pulls were Fire-Lite BG12 Adressable pulls, with some Honeywell BG12 Adressable pulls. Both were by Honeywell. The System was Set on Continuous(Non-Temporal). Which I was shocked when they went off(Because It was a newly built campus). All of the buildings have the same devices and are also Set on Continuous as well
All Mechanical horns do that. They sadly (not from what i’m aware can be tuned to the same note) Pitch changes depending how old they are and how many times they have sounded over the years
Cesar Blanco Not that I recall; however, if any of the existing AVs die I'd replace them with Spectralert. The godawful noise they produce makes my ears bleed but they are reliable. Simplex gets a mind-numbing amount of money for replacement parts. $250-$300 a pop for AVs, and I'm not an EST fan.
+NJMoo3652 Correct. I am hesitant to call it a piece of crap, but I'm definitely not a fan. A little bit too much panel for a building that size in my opinion.
@@zingarify The old heap of junk EST3 that was there can handle enough points to cover a building much larger than this one. It was just poorly implemented in my opinion, that thing is very customizable and was left mostly in a default state. To be fair, I haven't done that inspection in about 4 years so the system may have since been updated. Probably with newer EST junk unfortunately.
some kid from band maky they are old and have been used a lot so the vibrating horn are louder than they should be because the vibrating plate is warped or very loose
They sound like some kind of Motorola ones due to the chirping sounds when he's calling the helper or vice versa with have Motorolas at the Walmart where I work which are in ruggedized casings and they make similar tones.

Correct. As it was a school using public money, it would have been put out for open bid when they added the addition which necessitated the panel upgrade and some company that installed EST must've won the bid. It's not really a secret, I don't work for that company any more and schools are public property... The school is in East Aurora NY. Two elementaries, a middle and a high school. I did all but one elementary which was newer and still under contract with simplex. Twice per year inspections, one in February during mid winter break, one in August right before school started.
The recording quality and camera is probably the reason - I have no idea what I used at the time - probably my phone. The building is also significantly different and it' s acoustics are likely different as well.
+Blue Lives Matter The Simplex pull stations have a button that is normally pressed in by the backside of the pull handle. When you pull the handle or open the pull station, the handle moves away from its normal position and the button pops out, and that's what activates the alarm. The Fire Lite BG-8 and BG-10 pull stations work similarly.
These days, most kids will never understand the anxiety of walking to the restroom during class and having dead silence turn into this sound.

Jacob Bogner how does opening the pull station activate the alarm
+Blue Lives Matter The Simplex pull stations have a button that is normally pressed in by the backside of the pull handle. When you pull the handle or open the pull station, the handle moves away from its normal position and the button pops out, and that's what activates the alarm. The Fire Lite BG-8 and BG-10 pull stations work similarly.
