[weatherdan882002]

yeah, the system could use some more speakers.

i saw those before in a movie theater, but the idiots put them in wrong, so the lights were on the wrong side. plus, 1/3 of them sounded in code 3, another 1/3 continuous, last 1/3 in march time.

that is soooooo wrong in soooooo many ways

@pivotous If you are saying the movie theater has them in Code-3, continuous and march time then those are not speaker strobes they are horn/strobes. Sounds like the installers didn't set the horns to be coded by the panel and they sound to whatever setting the jumper on the back of the horn is set to.

[D6D24R94]

yeah thats definitely 4903--theyre always a speaker w/ a strobe on the right, right?

[SubaruB4RSK]

Looks like a Simplex 4903 but can't tell for sure a bit dark.

[BJ4HAGA]

was it a false??

[weatherdan882002]

?: were you able to see the candela rating stickers on the signals (if any). If you did, can you tell me what kind they were (shapes or an actual label)? Because I can then definately determine the model signals installed.

[weatherdan882002]

It is believed to have been an HVAC problem. Also, the alarm model should be Simplex 4903-9168.

[cmarlow330]

HVAC?
