Rare Simplex Fire Alarms Set to March Time

Fire Alarm Test 175

Before anyone asks: The reason the alarms did march time at the beginning is because I changed the coding purely to take the video of them on march time. As seen in the end of the video it was changed back to what it was when I got there which was continuous.

This is the first of 2 videos filmed at Courthouse buildings. These buildings are both very cool and this is the newer of the two. This building was built with a notifier AFP-200 fire alarm system using Wheelock MT LSM and a few Wheelock MT WM horn strobes. However it seems at some point most of the MT units were replaced with AS units. The entire first and second floor minus a few presumably missed units are all AS. However the 3rd floor remains original with all Wheelock MT LSM units. The initiating devices are all original and the building still features several BGX-101L Pull Stations. These pull stations contrary to popular belief are not recalled and only received a bulletin recommending replacement of the entire unit or replacement rubber washers around the buttons. Due to this if one doesn't work like one seen in this video, I simply remove the washer from the button as that is what caused the issue the released bulletin was a response to.
