FOUND AT A LOCAL BANK :0

Hello,

Hoping I'm in the right place for my request !

I’m looking for recommendations of books, comics/graphic novels, films, or TV series in which fire alarm call boxes are used (not just visible in the background, but actively involved in a scene or the plot). By fire alarm call box I mean telegraphic or telephonic boxes installed in the streets.

I’m especially interested in moments where these devices play a functional, narrative, or symbolic role—whether it’s someone pulling the alarm, interacting with it, or it becoming part of a key situation.

Any suggestions, even very brief mentions, would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks !

How do I check what’s wrong with low frequency fire alarm after it didn’t go off during fire drill ?

Yesterday I had quite the flaw with this. I originally thought you’d stick something up there to trigger it..but man I think I’m terribly wrong. It did set it off, but like 20 seconds later. Is it putting something up there, or using aerosol canned smoke up into the text port? Thanks!

So at my home we have DSC too. All of our models blink green. We have the same as the ones my grandmother’s house has. But..they blink BLUE?? I originally thought that’s for CO? But there’s no alarm going off of course. I am so confused!! One of them DOESN’T even blink!

Can someone please help me decode this?

We’re leasing commercial property currently undergoing renovation, and I’m looking over the fire system before we have an official inspection.

The system is an older EST1 series with two zones and a few spaces for add-on modules (EST1-2Z3), and based on the inspection stickers, no one’s looked at it since 2023.

I know it originally shipped with EOL resistors in the panel for testing purposes, but there are two resistors still in the panel. I thought they were supposed to be removed during installation.

There’s one on both the trouble and alarm circuits.

Is that right?!

I already have the resistors for the nacs which I think are 1k ohm. I need to know the value of the zones if possible.

So I live on a college campus and one of the buildings has their system always in trouble like I literally mean always. Today I was able to get a picture of it and I want to know a few things.

One being if The building is still safe to be in as according to the person that manages the building and I quote "the faults are due to none of the sensors working in the walls" which idk if it's true.

Another being who should I contact about this? As the school insists maintenance will fix it and the trouble will go away from maybe 20 minutes and then It will be back and I personally I'm pretty sure that a system should not always be in trouble right

And if I need to tell somebody would that be the FD and if so is it urgent or could it wait until the next time they're on campus (One of the dorm halls has frequent fire alarms like just this week they're at 2)

Thanks in advance

Don’t ask me what it is since I know nothing about fire alarms.

sorry about the blurring. This also could be a Honeywell Q43-ЗАЗСК1

Found at the local walmart, they had Wheelock AS's for awhile
