  • At 4:02, those r not Simplex 2901-9332 bells. Those are 2901-9047.

  • @elevatortimes My mistake. The -9047 uses AC voltage, and the -9333 uses DC voltage. These bells obviously used AC, as they were replacing really old Edwards bells from 1957

  • @wileyk209zback Ok, so I got the bell today. Problem is that I tried my 18v converter, and it never worked. Only put the metal thing on the gong down once and it stayed like that. It has the 2 black wires on back. I think it is DC. Where can I get a DC converter from?

  • @elevatortimes What model number is yours? If it is DC, you can just use a couple of regular old 9-volt batteries! That's how I test my alarms

  • @elevatortimes Or maybe it is really a SINGLE-STROKE bell; not a vibrating one. The Single-stroke bells make one ding, and are often used for really old coded systems. Vibrating bells are the loud ringing kind

  • 0:46 I had that Fire Alarm in 1st grade I hated it I felt the Sound on the Floor to loud :(

  • @MVRTA108 You're telling me! I have one of those in my alarm collection and it's the loudest fire alarm in my collection as of now!

    At least it's not as bad as the 4040

see all

  • @wjrshepherd10 A cross between a horn and a buzzer. Look up "Wheelock 7002T" on YouTube and you'll see what I mean.

  • @TimothyOnline R they bells or buzzers.

  • I know how you feel I used to be terrified of the fire alarm at my elementary school! :/

  • My school had Wheelock 7002Ts; by the time I was in the fourth grade, I was absolutely terrified of school fire drills. Those horns would send an intense pang of fear that would rip through my chest.

  • @wjrshepherd10 I hear you. My school had Wheelock 7002Ts, and I used to be absolutely terrified of them going off during the school day. It was so bad that in fourth grade I would actually cry about it from time to time.

  • Luckily, all I have to deal with during school fire drills were 10" Standard single-stroke fire bells and Standard 6" time bells, and a Federal Signal STL-10 tornado siren which is on school property.

  • I also have my watch synced up with my high schools "bell" system. It is tied in with the p a system. We have a all simplex system. Unfortunately the school is being torn down, but I might get one of the panels from one of the 8 buildings. The panel is either a simplex 4002 or 4005.

  • I am a lot like you. I have autism and I have been TERRIFIED of the noise ever since kindergarten. The bells anyway. My high school isn't as bad. We have pulsing buzzer alarms. I still need to be notified about drills, but these alarms don't scare me nearly as much as the bells.

  • I dint hear any thing

  • @wileyk209zback our bells ring on a timer at random times 7:50 8:00 10:00 10:10 11:20 11:55 12:30 2:20 2:30 Dissmissal 3:30
