Fire Alarm Tour of my Apartment

[TheJakeman789]

awesome video though!

[TheJakeman789]

the reason that one was not going off during those fire alarm videos is beacause that one is most likely the sprinkler alarm!

[SpecializedChild462]

luckily no one saw you activate the emergency lights.

[NLind]

@SpecializedChild462 It's a test feature, just like testing a smoke alarm.

[SpecializedChild462]

@NLind I'd still think someone wouldn't like that.

[MW2fatcats]

I noticed that some Wheelock MT horn/strobes like in your apartment and various Wheelock strobes have VFR in the model. What does VFR mean?

[NLind]

@MW2fatcats That was Wheelock's designation for 15/75 strobes.

[hyperbaricchicken101]

Some of the Gamewell pulls had breakbars but some didn't.

[NLind]

I'd say around '96 or so.

[phillies4100]

what code???????

[MNsportsnut]

How loud are those alarms? Are they loud enough you'll need earplugs? They don't sound as loud as 1 video I saw @ a UND dorm room with Simplex 9838 horns.

[NLind]

They're set to High Volume, so yes they're loud. (Wheelock rates the MT's High Volume Horn tone at 99dB)

[MNsportsnut]

How come the real fire video had the horns in continuous but the carpet installer fire alarm video had them on a code-3?

[NLind]

because when we had the real fire the panel had the original Zans400 motherboard. When the board was changed, they put it in Code 3.

[Tabby266]

Wheres the strobe on the horn outside? I dont see strobe on it. Btw, you said you noticed it was sounding, does that mean it works on and off?

[NLind]

It's not a strobe, it's a regular clear incandescent light bulb. As you see in the clip, it has a flasher circuit.

[Tabby266]

So basicaly somebody stuck a christmas light on it.

[NewAgeServerAlarm]

The hose connection is called an FDC.

[alarm776]

whatever happened to you getting a exceeder

[NLind]

Unsure. The seller sent them so they must have gotten lost in the mail, or maybe stolen from my building. I had that happen with 2 BG-10s that I'd ordered a few years back. Someone swiped 'em right out from in front of my door.
