I remember when I was having a continental breakfast at a hotel, this alarm went off, and it was soo f00king loud I had to cover my ears until the alarm was silenced.
how many tones do these fire alarms have? most places i found them going off it was just code 3, is that the only type of tone they are equipped with?
We have this fire alarm at my Elementary School, Junior High, and High. I always think the teacher is blowing a whistle when I hear it, not that bad though. My Junior High, though, is when they had those full blast.
@hyperbaricchicken101 Yes, the Spectralerts and Spectralert Advances are a product line of System Sensor which is owned by Pittway Corporation which is owned by Honeywell Life Safety which is a division of Honeywell Corporation.
Thats the same one that is used in the Fire Control Room that I'm working at.. I see this everyday at work mounted on the console panel. The sound it makes is very very loud during a fire alarm..
At school today, they were uninstalling these alarms (and the old pull stations) because they were being replaced. One of the Security Guys told the other something like, "We need to uninstall the old horn/strobes." THEY ARE CALLED SPEAKER/STROBES!
The goodwill in Saint Joseph, Missouri, has a single one of these. These are also the Notification Appliances for the fire alarm system at the Days Inn, in Aimes, Iowa.
My school just got these installed in all of the classrooms. Yes, my school is from the 60s and just now got dedicated fire alarms. How epic fail is that? Haha.
Do realize, my school used an outdated and old intercom system for years and years.
Finally, during my Junior and Senior years, my school has undergone a modernization project including new computers, intercoms, networks, and of course, safety systems. Lol.
With a higher current consumption... and the light from the clear lens distributes itself better. That is at a fixed distance. For example my 4906-9101 multi-candela truealert strobe only pulls 60mA at 15cd. My 4904-9001 pulls 45mA to produce 4.75cd... and that's not even a white strobe.
Yep. About 50 miles. I have actually visited Lebanon a few times before and recorded (and had the honor to set off) a siren once. Check my videos for "Denver Siren" to see it.
@soccerdude7330 in that case you were actually close to Cracker Barrel headquarters...they don't franchise any of their stores and they are all company owned and their headquarters are somewhere in Lebanon
Cool! Got any MT's? My new school has them that do continuous, unless the High School sets ours off with their code-3, with a connected system of two 4020 Panels with One for each school.
This same model is used in only one wing of our HS. The others are a different SpectrAlert set to the steady siren. And I'm not sure what model it is

this video is the best example of the flash of the strobe that I've seen.
Thanks for posting.
Our school uses these as their fire alarm system.
for whatever reason, they have the horn/siren sound full blast in every one of the rooms.
Makes me jump every time. The ones in the hall are quite sufficient for the sound.

Well I think the way they say you need transparent strobes is BS, translucent strobes can be 15, 30, and even 75 CD!
