This is the coolest system I’ve seen on this channel. Seeing that Simplex 2901-9838 on the 4050-80 light plate at 7:41 reminds me of what my high school mainly has now, except the 4050-80s do 120 bpm March time while the horns and horn strobes do Code 3. They also have 4041s and 9822s in the main hallways and one 4051 in the gymnasium. In the huge mix, there’s also 4903 horn strobes, (9252s, 9219s, and 9236s) an NS in the cafeteria, and a 7002T in the library. But I don’t know what the panel is though, but the pulls are 4251-20s and 2099-9756s. Odd combinations I must say.
My old junior high school, R.T. Alderman, in Calgary, was the first Canadian school to get Truealert ES Horn/Strobes, back in December 2015 when they were installed.
Definitely not a fan of the new ES TrueAlerts, too shrill and don’t blend together and demand attention as well as the traditional SmartSync ones with the crisp and uniform tone. I believe the free run TrueAlerts also had a slightly lower pitch than the SmartSync ones
That's a pretty cool mix of Simplex fire alarm devices from the 1970s to the present! Interesting seeing those old Simplex 4251-series "Chevron" pulls used with 4051+4050-80 horn/lights. The superior courthouse in my city has that combination, except it was most likely a Simplex 4208 system that appears to have been installed around 1971 or 1972, as the 4050-80 light plates are the earlier recessed version with no "FIRE" lettering on the lens, compared to the kind seen in this video.
UPDATE: The Simplex 4051+4050-80s were unfortunately removed and replaced with Gentex Commander 3 horn/strobes, installed on adapter plates that would be painted to match the wall color. Probably a Notifier or Silent Knight system now or something, but they kept the Simplex "Chevron" pulls. (At least they didn't go with SpectrAlert Advances, like my college and my first elementary school did!)
Great video! I have a small question however, do you have any idea what the deal is with the first 4050-80 shown? it's mounted on a simplex back box that's mounted on another box
I noticed something different about at least one of those True Alerts as well! At least one of them, have a resemblance to a Honeywell/System Sensor horn, LOL.
Awesome video! Also when you when to the true alert ES for a second I thought they had system sensor classics installed. Also for battery backup does that panel really only need those two 12v 7AH batteries?
@SAFETECH, can u tell me how the alarm app works and the compatible devices? Can u also tell me if it's compatible with Android TV (For testing and alarm purposes at home or business especially if u own or work at a home business such as California Mentor Family Home Agency Fresno, California, USA)? @California Mentor FHA and Central Valley Regional Center, Inc Staff, if ur reading this, I would like to suggest this app for ur homes or group homes that has fire alarms like this. Pwease note, this app may not be compatible with any of the following devices: Android TV, Amazon TV, Apple TV.
Sounds like a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance and a System Sensor L-series, LOL. I thought the True Alert ES-es were supposed to sound like the one at 7:09 and 7:21
Some ES hornstrobes sound different. I guess this is the newest thing. That sucks now they sound like an MT almost. The 4903-2425s are my favorite because of their perfect pitch.
The pitch sounds different depending on how far are you from the alarm. If you’re far away from the alarm, it has a higher pitch, and when you’re closer to the alarm it sounds like a regular trueAlert, like the older 4903 smart sync horn strobes
How can a fire alarm system be activated by an Ipod/tablet? I thought the panels and pull station could be the only source to activate a fire alarm system.
It’s an in house app Simplex uses to help inspections. Also I think you forgot the many types of smoke and heat detection, waterflow detection, activation from suppression systems.
all old signals from what I can tell were: - 4050-80s w/ 4051 horns - 4903-9101 w/ 2901-9838s - one 4050-80 w/ 2901-9838 the older pulls seen In a few clips are Simplex chevrons
here's what the system consists of: Simplex Truealerts and TruealertES's Simplex 4051's on 4050-80 light plates Simplex 2901-9838's on 4903-9101's and 4050-80 light plates Simplex Chevrons Simplex Dual Action pull station Simplex 4100ES coded to Code 3
They have to use the regular ones to be on the conventional signal lines while the high pitched ES addressable units can be on the addressable signal circuit. For a new install on simplex you would likely see addressable devices, however older non-addressable devices can be grandfathered into the system via. modifications to the nac signaling and supported cards and systems.
The app he uses is very proprietary and not available to the general public. I wouldn’t ask simplex what the name of the app is because they most likely won’t tell you nor send it to you.
All that's missing from the system are 2901-9806 or -9833 horns on 2903 light or strobe plates (with the wedge-shaped "FIRE" lens), to represent the 1980s!
You may wish to review the beginning of the video. The shot of your phone shows a Simplex account number as well as the address of the panel. Not sure if that's what I'm seeing, but that's what it looks to be.
Off topic, but I'll never get use to Siri's robotic voice. Apple should think about giving Siri a more natural voice like Google's Google Assistant and Amazon's Alexa. Nice video nonetheless.

Thanks for viewing. Sounds like that system was part of a few different projects over the years.
question for you, do the wheelock alarms sync with the simplex alarms?
Simsfanatic1997 is back BTCP AVBC Idk who you’re asking this question to, but I think Wheelock does sync with Simplex
As I've said, I'm pretty sure your high school now uses a Simplex 4100-series panel of some kind.
wileyk209zback It’s most likely possible.
My old junior high school, R.T. Alderman, in Calgary, was the first Canadian school to get Truealert ES Horn/Strobes, back in December 2015 when they were installed.
That’s cool!
It's pretty incredible! Even more incredible, I managed to save some devices from the old system!
Yes! I like those simplex systems and the panel
I find it very cool that you can silence and reset the panel from your phone.
while this is nice. I think its not advisable to do so going by NFPA 72.
Definitely not a fan of the new ES TrueAlerts, too shrill and don’t blend together and demand attention as well as the traditional SmartSync ones with the crisp and uniform tone. I believe the free run TrueAlerts also had a slightly lower pitch than the SmartSync ones
I am a fan and sub
But you gotta understand that the original TrueAlert devices that are addressable sound the same way.
I love ur pfp. Lmao. I might’ve used that pic in a fire drill video. Not really sure tho.

Why are those TrueAlert ES horn strobes suddenly acting like remote horns???
What app is used to communicate with the fire panel
It’s a private in-house app I use to manually link to the panel via a remote communicator.
Do you like using the app more than walktest in larger buildings?
Or do you only use it when told?
Mostly depends on what I am testing at the time. The software is only fully compatible on 4100 series panels.
Does anyone know the model numbers of the Simplex TrueAlertES’s?
49AV
49AV-WRF
are the ES series more high pitched?
Yes
Why does that truealert sound like that at 3:20?
Itz_MrDuck those higher pitched truealearts are truealertes’s they are new and have a new horn I think
Sounds like a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance and a System Sensor L-series, LOL. I thought the True Alert ES-es were supposed to sound like the one at 7:09 and 7:21
Itz_MrDuck Its a TruealertES

Oh, I'm kinda behind with the whole tech upgrading.
9:54 I have the horn not the strobe
A have 2 9838s now and a strobe plate
What kind of models are the older ones?
all old signals from what I can tell were:
- 4050-80s w/ 4051 horns
- 4903-9101 w/ 2901-9838s
- one 4050-80 w/ 2901-9838
the older pulls seen In a few clips are Simplex chevrons
3:39 Does the strobe not work or something?? Or is it so bright it doesn’t catch it on camera
I wonder why they combined the 2901-9138 horn with the 4050-80 light plates.
There was probably a Simplex 4051 horn originally on that 4050-80 light plate, but then the 4051 failed and they replaced it with the 2901-9838.
i love that u can control it on phone
Nice to see the TrueAlert ES!
Mike Graham you mean Wheelock as/mt
here's what the system consists of:
Simplex Truealerts and TruealertES's
Simplex 4051's on 4050-80 light plates
Simplex 2901-9838's on 4903-9101's and 4050-80 light plates
Simplex Chevrons
Simplex Dual Action pull station
Simplex 4100ES coded to Code 3
Think there are all 3 different kinds of the TrueAlert in this school. The 4 Wire Selectables, 2 Wire SmartSync and Addressable
5:34
??
Remember guys there are two types of simplex true alert horns there are high pitch ones and regular ones that go off
They have to use the regular ones to be on the conventional signal lines while the high pitched ES addressable units can be on the addressable signal circuit. For a new install on simplex you would likely see addressable devices, however older non-addressable devices can be grandfathered into the system via. modifications to the nac signaling and supported cards and systems.
Mix of old and new fire alarms
these TrueAlert's almost sound like Wheelocks, weird but interesting

How come the TrueAlert's at 2:58 sound like MT's?
They are TrueAlert ESs
I didn't realize the TrueAlertES devices were so high pitched! They almost sound like Wheelocks!
I agree, the sound does remind me of a Wheelock MT set to Horn or an AS.
The bass of the sound sounds like a regular TrueAlert. It could be high pitch sounding because of the piezo they use.
@@FireAlarmTech7.Not quite the piezo is the same as most normal TrueAlert devices the Kingstate KPE-182.
When you activated the Chevron, the 4051 above it sounded weird. Do you know why?

how many old mechanical horns did the place have left standing
the alarm at 8:42 has the same glitch as the ones at my old school
They also have 4050-80 light plates with true alerts on them!

7:41 that is a rare combo

it’s likely vibrating off the backbox

Good Combo I never seen a 4050-80 in Person
I’ve seen 2901-9838s which are my favorite alarms it’s annoying that they replaced them with true alerts
