Wheelock fire alarm test

Posted by admin on May 28th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | No Comments »

Testing my Wheelock 34T-24+WS-24 fire alarm horn/strobe using 2 12 volt lead acid batteries. This horn looks exactly like the 7002T series but the horn and strobe are wired separately giving the horn an uninterrupted sound instead of the infamous skipping the 7002T is known for. NOTE: these are audio and visual devices using flashing strobes. Even though the camera didn’t pick up the strobe flashing very well if you have light sensitive Epilepsy, or if you have any ill effect from viewing flashing strobes please don’t watch this video. I will not be responsible for any ill effects you may experience. with that said enjoy.

Fire Alarm Testing – Old IBM/Simplex System

Posted by admin on May 24th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 25 Comments »

This is a pull station test at the same school as shown with the “Old School” IBM fire panel. You will see when the pull station is opened the alarm rings four rounds and then stops. The 8″ tan bell is the one you hear ringing.

The bell to the left still works but does not sound with the building alarm. To ring it, you have to yank down on the pole with force and it will “ding” once (and very loud.) There is a plunger mounted right above the bell that is spring loaded; when yanking on the pole, it releases the spring’s tension which then makes the plunger smack the bell. The pole goes down through the floor which connects to a bell in the same location in the hall underneath it and will make that bell “ding” as well. This was how they did it in the early days when they were starting to input “fire gongs” in school buildings.

Ignore the screaming little kid; he was due for an beating.

Portland Fire and Rescue Truck 13 Medic Run #2 From Station 13

Posted by admin on May 8th, 2010 and filed under fire rescue | 11 Comments »

Portland Fire and Rescue Truck 13 responding with Medic 312 on a TR3 to the Lloyd Center Ice Center at 1529 on 12/29/08. A TR3 is a traumatic injury to a non critical area. The whoop-whoop sound you hear at the beginning is the station alert tone for Trucks. Engines have a slightly different tone. This lets station personnel know which company is being dispatched before the verbal description of the call comes in.

“Old School” IBM Fire Alarm System

Posted by admin on May 8th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | 25 Comments »

This is literally an “Old School” fire alarm system. It is the original fire alarm system that was installed when the school was built in 1955. This thing is a workhorse.

This is an IBM 4201-4 fire alarm panel. It operates only when a pull station is activated, and the system will continue to run until the station is reset. Through the relays and the coded wheel, the system clacks out pulses to the single stroke bells.

The system has a Simplex 4004 panel tied to it that operates pull stations and horns in a modular. You will hear the 4004 go into alarm first which then trips the IBM system. Notice the wheel at the bottom that turns and fires the bell circuits (watch closely and you’ll see some tiny sparks). Once the pull station is reset, it continues to do 4 more rounds until it times out.

IBM sold it’s fire alarm line to Simplex in 1958.

The system is up for replacement next summer with a Simplex 4100U.

fire alarm system demo

Posted by admin on May 5th, 2010 and filed under fire alarm | No Comments »

a demo of my mini fire alarm system. Devices hooked up are a Fire-Lite MS-4424B alarm control panel, Simplex 4251-20 pull, Simplex 4904-9101 remote strobe (4.5 Cd) and BRK 2824 smoke detector. This demo shows how a fire alarm system is activated by smoke. The beeping you hear is not the smoke detector, it’s the panel’s piezo indicating there’s an alarm condition. I used a burning insense stick to activate the smoke detector. The reason why I blew into it torwards the end was to make sure there was no smoke inside the detector so it would not trigger a false alarm. This system set up is a work in progress. Also what you see here is a privately owned set up, do not attempt on a public system.

enjoy
