Simplex Fire Alarm Testing

Posted by admin on March 3rd, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 25 Comments »

Clip while testing signals from a Simplex 2001 and a Simplex 4020 fire panel that are tied together. Some of the old horns are not working properly.
If for some reason you can’t get the video to load, that’s not my problem so don’t bother leaving a comment whining about it.
