Must be a 1990s Simplex system, judging by the sound! Nowadays a new Simplex system installation would typically be addressable, unless they are just replacing an old hard-wired Simplex panel (like the 4207/8, 2001 or 4002), when in that case a 4005 or 4006 would do the trick nicely while leaving everything else intact (I saw a 2001 panel that was gutted and had a 4006 installed in the cabinet!)

Electronic piezoelectric horn with ADA compliant strobes have been widely used since 1993. The Wheelock MT is first introduced in 1993 and the AS and NS in 1995. Those first 3 notification appliances popularized the code 3 tone. The 4903 has been around since 1990ish in both speaker and mechanical horn flavors. Simplex stopped making mechanical horns in 1998.

@ZakWolf

@@davidperry4013 I know back in 1993 there was also a non-ADA version of the Wheelock MT horn/strobe, and before that there was the Wheelock EH horn and horn/strobe series. In fact, during the late 80s and early 90s Simplex sometimes used Wheelock EH horns; SafeTech has a video of a Simplex 4001 system with those horns on older 4903 light and strobe plates. I also recall Simplex first began making those ADA-compliant rectangular 4903 horn/strobes and speaker/strobes in 1993, maybe 1994, and they still make the speaker/strobe version and one that uses the TrueAlert horn's sounder, largely for replacing failed 4903 alarm signals on systems from the 90s.

I suppose that this system was installed between 1994 and 1998 because the Simplex 4004 was introduced in the first year mentioned, and the 4903 electronic horn-strobe was released during the latter. I suspect the electromechanical version was discontinued after that, so assuming that's the case, this particular system had to be installed between then.

All of the notes of every alarm in each Hallway 1st Hallway 1. C 2. E 3. Ab 2nd Hallway 4. Ab 5. G 6. G 3rd Hallway 7. F# 8. Ab 9. F# 4th Hallway 10. G 11. G 12. F# 5th Hallway 13. G 14. G 15. Ab It appears that each Hallway has 2 alarms on the same horn pitch and 1 is on a different pitch, except the first Hallway as the 1st alarm in the first Hallway has a pitch of C and its a 4903-9252 as it most likely replaced a dysfunctional 4903-9219 making this Hallway unique. If the 1st 4903-9219 still worked to this day or it sounded before it got replaced with a 4903-9252 then it could've sounded in the key of E or Ab which would look like this: 1. E 2. E 3. Ab Or 1. Ab 2. E 3. Ab

Sounds like a music chorus!

are they already tested in female dorm too? since its tested in male dorm
