Fire Alarm Test #13 | Simplex vs. Edwards

Hope you guys enjoy! Lots of mechanical horns in these buildings

That’s rare to see old horns like that still used today they sound extremely healthy

[FireTech]

I like how the Edwards horns are on boosters with sync protocols on lol

2:15 That alarm with a Simplex 2903 scared me to death when I was a little boy.

the quote on quote edwards “adaptahorns”

Seeing how rare these edward horns are.

[loren]

Now those edwards horns are extremely rare

I like the old horns, they aren’t too loud and they kind of sound like music.

The ones at my school aren’t Simplex or Edwards but they sound like this:
1:46

My Primary School in the UK had fire alarms similar to the Edwards system. Absolutely scared the living daylights out of me as a kid!!

Made worse by the fact we had a Headteacher who was obsessed with making us repeat the drills because we either weren’t quick enough…or we weren’t quiet enough!! 😢😢

Is that Notifier filtered DC because most of the Simplex horns sound fine.

[Luke-zb]

awesome video!! LOVE those edwards horns

[michaelgrahamwongacutemadness]

2:15 is this horn a slightly different model

[siphonralarms]

Those Edwards horns are pretty much 895s without the strobe

[HeadsetGuy]

I don't know why, but for some reason 3:48 cracks me up.

[Goldenrod]

I wonder if the second building was built with the Edwards horns or if the Edwards horns replaced the Simplex horns in the second building.

[Nicsou]

Simplex is clearly better. Edwards needs to be replaced with a Simplex 4100ES.

[GaryBeltz]

No strobes? That is an ADA violation tsk tsk tsk
