I never found 7002Ts that loud. Startling when they kick to life in a quiet room- definitely, but really not loud unless your within like 5 feet of the horn.
Ig i am not the only one that notices that, on the outside of my elementary school which has 34Ts, they weren't as loud as the system sensor MASSes used as indoor use
there are a few apartment buildings i would pass by around my area that have an army of 7002Ts, it is really amazing to see although all the strobes were worn as hell
I’m actually not sure. I was wondering that myself. Maybe because the other area I was in didn’t have people in it as often as the side it was facing. It’s been like that for decades
Manual fire alarm activation is typically achieved through the use of a pull station (USA & Canada) or call point (Europe, Australia, and Asia), which then sounds the evacuation alarm for the relevant building or zone. Manual fire alarm activation requires human intervention, as distinct from automatic fire alarm activation such as that provided through the use of heat detectors and smoke detectors. It is, however, possible for call points/pull stations to be used in conjunction with automatic detection as part of the overall fire detection and alarm system. Systems in completed buildings tend to be wired in and include a control panel. Systems for use during construction can also be wireless or mechanical, it is recommended by the Structural Timber Association in the UK that for timber-framed constructions, interconnecting wireless systems be used. A fire alarm pull station is an active fire protection device, usually wall-mounted, that, when activated, initiates an alarm on a fire alarm system. In its simplest form, the user activates the alarm by pulling the handle down, which completes a circuit and locks the handle in the activated position, sending an alarm to the fire alarm control panel. After operation, most fire alarm pull stations must be restored to the ready position using a special tool or key for the panel to be reset. Primitive manual stations, requiring only a single action or hand motion to activate, can be subject to unwanted activation by jarring or accidental contact. Early strategies to cope with this problem included requiring the operator to break a pane of glass to release an internal spring-operated mechanism. Manual pull stations that require two hand motions, such as lift up and pull down, or push in and pull down, have since replaced the break-glass and single-action models in many modern installations. Coded pull stations In the past, pull stations controlled the entire system. These coded pull stations were much bigger than modern pulls and had a code wheel in them. They had a gear mechanism that was wound up when the station was pulled, and (unlike modern pull stations) the handle did not stay down. The gears would turn a small wheel with a specific number of teeth, which determined the coding. The teeth would push up on a contact, which would open and close a circuit, pulsing the code to the bells or horns. This code was used by building security to determine where the alarm was originating from. For example, consider a pull station in the fourth-floor elevator lobby of an office building with a code of 5-3-1. When the station was pulled, the security officers in the building would look up 5-3-1 in a master list of codes. After finding the location of the pull, they would check to see if there is a real fire. If there was, they would evacuate the building and call the fire department. System tests could be conducted in one of two ways: In a coded pull station, there is either a test hole on the front (usually activated with an Allen wrench) or a test switch on the inside. Turning the switch one way causes the notification appliances to sound continuous (or in the case of single-stroke bells, ding once). Turning it the other way and then activating the pull allows a silent test to be done in which the station's mechanical parts are checked to ensure proper function. Once pulled, the station would do at least four rounds of code before resetting itself. Coded pulls were typically used in new fire alarm systems until roughly the 1950s, and then occasionally into the 1970s. Until the early 1990s, some panels were made with an extra zone to accommodate any existing coded pull stations. Nowadays, coded pull stations are rarely seen in working fire alarm systems. Modern pull stations Many modern fire alarm pull stations are single action and only require the user to pull down the handle to sound the alarm. Other fire alarm pull stations are dual-action, and as such require the user to perform a second task before pulling down, such as lifting or pushing in a panel on the station or shattering a glass panel with an attached hammer. Perhaps the most recognizable pull station is the "T-bar"-style pull station, so named because the handle is shaped like the letter "T". This style is manufactured by many companies, most notably SimplexGrinnell. Resetting a fire alarm pull station after it has been operated normally requires building personnel or emergency responders to open the station using a key, which often is either a hex key or a more traditional key. Opening the station causes the handle to go back to its original position, allowing the alarm to be reset from the fire alarm control panel after the station has been closed. In some places, particularly at college dormitories and schools, students set off fire alarms as a prank or simply because they want to (out of anger, curiosity, revenge, or to postpone a test). These false alarms can convey risk to alarm fatigue if they occur repeatedly, causing occupants to dismiss the importance of alarms or ignore them completely. In areas where false alarms are a recurring problem, pull stations may be covered with a clear plastic cover (sold under the "Stopper" trade name) that will cause people to notice the person by sounding an alarm when tinkered with or opened, creating a focus on the fire alarm. Because of these and other issues, setting off a fire alarm when there is no fire or other emergency is illegal in most jurisdictions.
Your videos are awesome! Keep up the good work! Those 7002T-24's must be loud!

always love how mechanical horns are a great source of musical cords
Yes indeed
The Old Central School in Stoneham, MA also had those Wheelock 7002 fire alarms. Same design, sound effect, etc!
Man, I love those 7002Ts! Those are starting to become rare!
why yes they are.
I love those ones to!!! I've always wanted one
My elementary school has them but not the high school
my elementary had rarer 7001ts
@jesuslove2128 We know. Most buildings that have Wheelock 7002ts are 24VDC.
I love these alarms, I know I’m not the only one
yep
I never found 7002Ts that loud. Startling when they kick to life in a quiet room- definitely, but really not loud unless your within like 5 feet of the horn.
Aren’t the 7002Ts from the 1980s early 1990s
Ig i am not the only one that notices that, on the outside of my elementary school which has 34Ts, they weren't as loud as the system sensor MASSes used as indoor use
They sound like angry bees flying around 😂
😂😂😂
some of the horns sound like they ready to give up on life
This is exactly how my old school alarms sounded lol
Omg I love the sound! the 7002t is making a song.
The other 7002t did the low volume and high volume.
Those are some healthy horns
Very cool system
I often see these with FCI-FC-72 FACPs in Vermont.
Now the one in the hall way sounds loud and it sounds like it under power
i like how they had a home smoke detector next to a commercial fire alarm 😂🤣
It was probably a Carbon Monoxide Detector
7002ts are rare nowadays, the only one’s i’ve seen are the ceiling mount ones at a shopping center, and one at a boston market.
there are a few apartment buildings i would pass by around my area that have an army of 7002Ts, it is really amazing to see although all the strobes were worn as hell
When they get replaced make sure to get those!
It sounds like the 7002T is at the end of its life 😅 lol
0:36 Why was the horn mounted like that?
I’m actually not sure. I was wondering that myself. Maybe because the other area I was in didn’t have people in it as often as the side it was facing. It’s been like that for decades
that sounds like a minecraft pillager/illager raid sound in the beginning
my school only has 2 of them im gonna order a 7002t at some point
I definitely recommend getting one. I have several. Really cool devices.
yea for sure
Those horns seem to be having a bipolar pitch issue. Power supply issues?
I’m guessing FWR. aka the mechanical horn’s worst enemy
@@SouthernIndianaRailfan the particular panel installed (Edwards EST-12Z3) actually outputs filtered dc and strangely can also do the coding March 120
Sounds like bees attacking
Nice
put back fire alarm test #1
They are arguing to see who’s the loudest one Comment bellow on which 7002t won
idk
time stamp on which?
No idea maybe the one next to the smoke alarm
