Standard Electric Time Bell on 4050-85

A video of my Standard Electric Time bell mounted on a Simplex 4050-85 light plate. Not sure why my camera made the pitch change at the beginning.

I get most of them from eBay, trades, and alarms left over from renovations or abandoned buildings. I've also found a few on Craigslist.

Looks like a Faraday bell. I'd do this with my Simplex bell, but it's an AC bell and the 4050-85 is DC.

Yep, it is a Faraday bell. It's actually on a Simplex 4080 base since I don't have the original Standard one.

@tornadosirens100 The camera tripped out for a bit.

I may be eleven, but I collect fire alarms. My friends call me weird for collecting them, but I say to them every time: "Maybe one day, I can save your lives with these panels."

Doesn't the bell just ring during non-alarm conditions?

I figured it was Faraday. The Simplex bells at the school I attended for kindergarten sounded exactly like this.

Do you have a Kodak Zi6? By the sounds of this, it's a yes.
