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.
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!
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.
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.
@@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. Edit: please guys stop replying this comment is two years old
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!
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
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.
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 RUclips: 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.
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).
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.
I actually have seen a sti push station in a building my mom used to work at a YMCA and in the indoor pool room there was a general emergency button on the wall
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.
On the MS-2, you’re not supposed to just open it and then close it because it can cause damage to the pull station. That’s why it’s recommended at all times to just open it, manually flip the switch, and then close it.
Also, the MS-6 you showed actually is much more like a BG-8, and I think you should have demonstrated that. On another note, I think the Gamewell-FCI t-bar you showed is an MS-95T. I do know they're originally made by SigCom, marketed as the Sentry series. Most of those I've seen are branded by Bosch. Great video! Keep up the great work and thanks for your service to the community!
The push station!!! I have one of them at my school only it’s a lockdown alarm and it’s yellow. Thanks for your service grant! You are so helpful to me!!!!!!!! And I subscribed
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
When she was a kid, my great aunt mistook a pull station for a gum ball machine and woke up everyone in a hotel early in the morning. The fire marshal was not happy to hear what had happened!
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??
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

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…
Thank you for serving as a firefighter sir.

Keep in mind, Do not tape it again that's illegal.

Wait that last one is in my school the🤯🤯🤯🤯😮😯🤯🤯 one with the two lines
I REALLY like the dual action T-bars. Just ordered one today. I think they look nice and they are for no reason SUPER satisfying to pull.
These videos have to be loved
This is my favorite
I think you are the better fire alarm collector
Example. fire alarms only go off when there’s a test or there’s a fire
12:00 have these in my school (so common oml)
Thanks for these tutorials grant I think they are important for people new to learning fire alarm systems
Hi
@@SillyRock4 hi???
I collect fire alarms too and I love fire alarms and other kinds of alarms
13:29 that pull station is somewhat often featured on pickle700s channel. Usually they have English and French lettering

Remember to never pull the fire alarm unless there's a fire

This video saved the day today at a big chain gym.
14:04 that is the model they use in my church.
The brand “SIEMENS” gets me every time 😂
Without the "i" and The last "S" in SIEMENS, I'll give the comment a like.
This is my favorite video this is safety Aiden
I've never seen the STI push stations in buildings before, so I guess we can say those things a pretty rare to find in a building.
WowLove pool stations and fire alarms they are so cool and I like to protect my family with it
Pretty cool
12:42 if you pause at the time mark on that alarm when pulled is says operated.
Very radical! My favorite pull station out of all of them would be the Msi\20b.
It’s FCI
@@FaFromCastle nope
The msi20b was at my elementary school
@@wcentralflweather same here
@@FaFromCastle no its made by siemens and the model is msi-20b

I noticed some people just Key Activate Fire Alarm Systems while testing the System sometimes.
This was helpful fire alarm collecting is my hobby I just got a simplex t-bar
This is my new favorite video
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
I am going to get a t bar pull station soon, I will make a video on it when I get it🙂
Edit, I got the pull station!
I Got A BG-10
1:00 oh I love that pull station
I’m starting my fire alarm collection pretty soon I just got my first pull station now I need a fire alarm
Nice Video 🙂
Getting to emergencies is very important
Good vidéo !
Great vid Grant!!! I found the pull station at 6:00 really interesting and really neat tbh!
For the STI push station ive seen them at my local gas station for the emergency shutoff and they are yellow
Yeah ive seen those too
@Silvia Centeno Same here but I seen a yellow stopper over it
@@wcentralflweather the ones i see also have a yellow stopper over them
Could you show the reset procedure for on of the prison fire pull stations that are key activated?
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
love this vid
Same ❤❤🎉🎉😊

Probably for notifying police as yellow strobes would be used to notify hospital staff while blue strobes would notify police.
@@brinegamersproductionsmedia yellow strobe is amber/alert
Thanks for the warning at the start😊
4:47 you need to clean that pull station.
Notifier BG’s are the easiest pull stations to reset
10:51 they should call it the gamewell T-bar!
14:48 My school has that but it says lockdown and it’s blue with a cover

I know a building near me with Fire-Lite BG-6 pull stations
14:01 those are very common here, but they’re going out. All my schools currently use them, but they’re going to BG12s
Like that pull from top pull station
I have seen the sti push station before but only on a specific building I used to go to
I just got like 30 Siemens rebranded zns / zrs and unboxing it felt like one of your massive unboxing vids lol
some of the simplex T-Bar pull stations use a hex key

In the music building at MTSU, I found BG-6's still in use.
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.
I have one of those gamewell metal pulls but its rebranded by ademco and it has a button instead.
On the MS-2, you’re not supposed to just open it and then close it because it can cause damage to the pull station. That’s why it’s recommended at all times to just open it, manually flip the switch, and then close it.
