Rarely would you ever see Simplex 9833s with Simplex 2903-9001 light plates 😯. It's an interesting look though! Darn shame though the FWR was involved (FWR doesn't usually sound great with mechanical horns. They actually sound not too bad though in this video 😕) Great video good sir 😉!
I meant to say "rarely will you ever see Simplex 9833s and Simplex 2903-9001 light plates *on the ceiling* that is". Probably cuz it violates nowadays fire alarm codes 😉
@@fireandalarm1234 by you saying that "it violates the current fire alarm codes" do you mean because of the light plates on the ceiling, or any ceiling mounted fire alarm in general whether it has a light plate or strobe? I'm asking because the high-school I went to for my freshman year in 2010-11 had alarms that sounded like truealerts but looked like older 4903's but were white on the ceilings of all classrooms and there were white truealerts on the walls in the classrooms and in the halls. This was in the newer freshman wing after a tornado destroyed the original freshman wing in either 2008 or '09. I don't know if fire alarm codes are different by state though.
This Truly reminds me of what it was like in Elementary School Back In The 3rd Grade when Having to do an Earthquake Drill And Where Getting Straight Underneath Of my Desk right next to the 🔥Fire Drill And plugging my ears ever so very tightly !!!! 😟😟😟😟😟
CoolSimasGuy Why is it against code now? Just asking (I’m from Canada, so our code might be different, but the ones at my school are wall mounted strobe/buzzer units)
@@temporalosm Because people may not be able to see the strobes if they're deaf. Having them on the wall would be much easier for people to see. However, once time went on, NFPA required newer devices to placed on walls. So therefore, manufacturers began making ceiling units with better strobe candela.
Wheelove Fire Alarms they reminded me of my old elementary school fire alarms we had true alerts and 2903 strobe plates I don’t know what horn the 2903s had
Cause. Inspectors and contractors don’t care about nothing. Hell, they even installed a pull station on the ceiling, and a horn/strobe at shoulder level once. They’re supposed to mount them where they are, cuz the “FIRE” lettering ain’t oriented properly, but they just wanna get it over with and go home… 😒
I don't mean to bother you about the placement of the alarms, but were they always like that? Or were they moved to the ceiling? I'd imagine they were moved to the ceiling, as if those are in their original place then simplex would have given ceiling mount devices, either that or when the did move the alarms, the code wasn't that strict
Problems happen when ordering parts for fire alarms so they realize the only spot for a wall unit is the ceiling, and time is money so they can’t wait for a new replacement to come
DownsLife&Safety No, the filtering capacitors on the 4001s were not the best and are notorious for dying out after awhile causing the FWR power, similar to certain 2001 panels that output FWR. The design was either improved or they started using a better capacitor with the 4002 and everything afterward.
@@sirenfreak57 Yeah and when the capacitor for the filter on the 2001 dies it sounds terrible and you can see that in one of Newageserveralarm's mini system test videos
Craig Baker Yes. I have a 2904-9101 with said lettering, but I have a 2903-9101 that came NIB with instructions and according to the instruction sheet, the ceiling lenses were an option but had to be specifically ordered. Hence why we don’t see ceiling mount older Simplex visuals with correct lettering often, although ceiling mounted older Simplex devices aren’t that common, but I’ve seen an older LifeAlarm system in a building in Cleveland with them before. That was three years ago and I’ve never been back in that building so I have no idea if the system has since been upgraded; they oddly had wall mounted LifeAlarm speakers on 4903-9101 strobe plates and those rare beige ceiling mount LifeAlarm speakers. They also oddly enough had ceiling mount 4904 remote lights (some were Strobes and others were lights, even more odd).
Hey. Please help me. At my school. We have a Cheap Telecenter/Rauland Communication system. I used it once to help with a Lockdown Drill. But we pressed a button that was mounted on the wall and the button lit blue. When pressed, the system will activate and Sound a Hi/Lo tone and a message will play after it. But what i found confusing was that the wired phones stated on the Caller Screen, NNHS in Lockdown. Press Details for More info. We only can call inside of the school. Is this normal for a system like this. I found out that the buttons are from Rauland. They are mounted under Stopper covers and have a sign that says " for emergency Lockdown only The doors close automatically as well when the system is active.
I think these horns dont like to be ceiling mounted which explains the raspiness, Simplex Guy had the same issues on his old system. Also dust collects at the bottom of every lens which is kinda gross tbh.
Should do test on battery only the 4001 panel may not reset on battery only properly I am Private Alarm Contactor. In Illinois had That problem with that model with good battery's even.
These are wall mount fire alarms. They are not up to code anymore. If there is going to be a new system, these alarms will need to be replaced with the proper ceiling mount alarms.

I think these horns dont like to be ceiling mounted which explains the raspiness, Simplex Guy had the same issues on his old system. Also dust collects at the bottom of every lens which is kinda gross tbh.
I believe the raspiness is because the horns are being run off of FWR. I could be wrong though, it could also be the age of the horns.
Some of the horns do a blast with no rasp so I don't think it's fwr related
