- Gentex has made several improvements to their alarms over the years. Here's a side-by-side comparison of each fire alarm in the Gentex Commander series (Commander 1, 2, 3, and 4). Each of these horns, horns/strobes, and strobes I see commonly in buildings on a variety of different fire alarm systems in the United States. Thank you for watching, subscribe! :)

Very interesting! Gentex definitely has a nice assortment of alarm devices.
You're right
I never really saw all that much on these. Not how they sounded over time, not design changes over time and even the little details that have been added or changed over time. I do really like the Commander. I see it as a cool, simple device.. thats why I like it. Although its not used where i live, I've seen it before on videos and such. Very nice demonstration and information, Grant!
The Gentex Commander 3 is my all time favorite alarm. I just hope that one day Gentex will create some ceiling mounted outdoor devices. Keep up the good work Grant.
Me to.
Hola

Nice video! The Gentex commanders has always been a unique alarm to me. My elementary school had a few commander 2s and 3s. The 2s were on continuous horn while the 3s were on whoop. The rest were SHG's with one outdoor GMS. My local goodwill has some Gentex commanders 3s. Including an outdoor weatherproof commander 3 and then quite a bit of commander 4s. Another thing to mention about the older commander 2s is that they didn't have the notch on the left side. It told you the strobe rating on the bottom like a commander 1. The trim plate had no ridges and some remote strobe versions dident have the fire symbol. Also they only did horn and 2400hz. There wasn't whoop or chime tones at the time. All in all, the Gentex commanders are awesome.
I like the Gentex Commanders! It seems like they still make the fixed 15/75 and 177 Candela versions of the Commander 2 as well as the multi candela commander 3s and 4s.
I go a commander 3 remote strobe yesterday
Wow nice! Gentex makes pretty high quality stuff and I grew up with commander 1’s. There is no doubt that the Commander 2 is a big step-up in quality from the Commander 1 and ESPECIALLY from the SHG’s with breakable strobes
Also gentex does make strobe only commander 2’s. Model is GES24
2:01 now that is my classroom fire alarm
0:21 is my classroom fire alarm
4:32 This is the Classeoom, Hallways, etc but the Cafeteria and Gymasiums have Gentex Commander 3's with Commander 4 Remote Strobes and Outside are Gentex WGE Devices
I love the commanders because of the chime tone, its so quiet and soft
also cause of the commander 1s
love the old SHG
I didn't know you also liked fire alarms lol. And i agree
Nice video, you should do a video of putting simplisafe or ring in your garage.
Awesome
Also, the commander 1's have some frequency jumpers and pins in the back so you can change from 2/4 wire and continuous/ code 3
I love Gentex Alarms
Cool Video!!!
My elementary school had commander 1s in the first and second buildings but the 3rd had advances. Im pretty sure thou they replaced some of them for 3s later because I think I heard the, during a drill
Hi SER! Nice!
Nice video
I’m getting a Gentex commander three are you able to do a video on how to wire it please?
I saw agreen gentex beacon but white in tesco
I didnt know they were here as well
man i've been watching you since you had that diy ser safety sign and used that news flash song when u reviewed alarms, avsolutely love how you grown to chase ur dreams
Hey Grant loved the video. I have a video suggestion for maybe your SER system using the genteel commander 3 as it would be interesting to see it in action.
Check it out! ruclips.net/video/9jW4bNJJgK0/видео.html
1:01 that is my school fire alarm
The updated strobe on that Commander 3 was actually introduced on later model Commander 3s. I have an old Commander 3 that still has the same "style" strobe as the Commander 2 as well as the horizontal dip switches.
I did not know that actually
My middle school mostly had Commander 1s anda few 3s on a Notifier system, however the school is currently under renovation so the fate of the system is unknown
I think they will replace the commander 1s with 3s
I remember the gentex commander 3 on Milan library.
I have a question how many Gentex commander alarms did you get
Nothing personal, but I think Gentex should definitely release an LED Strobe version of this series.
Do u have a call box/ master box?
Ser safety I got inspired by your realistic fire alarm system at your SER so I made a TikTok video of the installation like yours do you want to see it?
I have seen those commander 1s in the apartment I live in, and I think also comander2/3 as I can’t see if it’s multi candela
THE BEST OF THE BEST
I have a gentex commander 3 and it has got to be one of my favorites from how easy it is to install
question is why was it made in 2009, i would have expected it to be made way way later
Is there a red Gentex speaker strobe with a red lens? Could there be a custom made one where the body is black and the strobe is purple? Idk.
2:21 What tone is this on
It is on its Mechanical Horn Code 3 Tone
THATS WHAT MY SCHOOL HAS!!!😍
We need a Gentex Commander 5
So how do you tell the difference visually between the 2 and the 3?
You cant, its all internal differences
Do Gentex alarms work on a Notifier panel?
Can Gentex Commander 1’s be synced?
I don't know but the Commander 3 actually automatically synchronize the strobes😮
Back here a year later, I now know that Commander 1’s can sync with later Commanders using the AVS44 sync module.
sweet
Cool
Is the tones 1. 2400 HZ Electronic 2. 2400 HZ Mechanical 3. 3000 HZ?
-Code 3 Mechanical

@@ticearpey3235I meant on The Commander 1
The commander 1 only does the 3000Hz tone.
@@ticearpey3235Does the Commander 2 Have all of the Commander 3 tones?
can a commander 4 do a chime tone?
Commander 4 only does Mech-Horn and 2400Hz
They don’t have the chime or whoop tone
You seem to really have a thing for Gentex devices, especially the commanders.
that is so early!
That gentex commander was made on my birthday
I just got a Commander 2 HS and a Commander 4 S!
if you put a wall mount gentex commander upside down, it looks like a system sensor l series!
Gentex is not a hygiene company

I Got a Commander 3! But I accidentally Broke this Tiny Pin on the Side of the Candela thing Off when I was Sliding the Alarm Off the Bracket.
