What a great podcast! When this got assigned by our department training officer I rolled my eyes. Now? I am recommending this to every cop I know. As a former sailor (Gunners Mate) and a 18 year cop? This hit hard. There is so much TRUTH in this podcast.

Very helpful Thank You very very very much

wait so we cant use this faucet for the hose???

How can you tell what system it is? Does the panel say addressable on it?

Incredible

Well done 👍

here is a question for you as you probably know in new installations anti freeze is frowned upon it seems possilbe that a fire hose can be attached to the sprinkler system so my question to you is could a dry sprinkler system be attached to a fire hose valve to function as a dry hose valve?

do you know how to reset a over the tally limit on a Symplex 4005? Thx

Time to upgrade systems to Honeywell EBI life safety with our addressable panels.

Good video

Do you have to notify fire department when you do main drain test?

Definitely struck a chord. Been at it since '87 and some of the memories are hard. Thank you sir!

I liked when he put trouble on the fire alarm 1:42

Excellent I met Griff years ago and was so impressed i just seen him again at a seminar in Ulster County it was Great

Where we are, valve switches, supervisory on the panel, are latching, in that they do not clear when the valve is reopened.

🙏💯 great story

Thank you for your time doing this video. More or less, how many sprinklers could be installed by alarm check valve like that ? for K=16 3/4" sprinklerc type? Thank you in advance

Very articulate, detailed and to the point. Thanks for the upload, earned a sub.

Good video

I want one or two days classes of fire alarm installation

Thanks for the video

Of course, if you wire multiple detectors on a "zone", they are not gonna know which one tripped it. But if you have a conventional system, and you wire only ONE detector per zone, you get no problems. If you want to reduce wiring, you can use "zone expanders", which are devices that usually communicate via RS485, that will reduce wiring. Another way to wire it, is room-based. Wire zones so all detectors and pull stations in a room is on one zone. It makes it easy for everyone including firemen, to know where something happened, and once you have visual sight with that room, it will be easy to find out what triggered the alarm. I actually prefer conventional systems for 3 reasons: They are easier to troubleshoot, because anything you do will have an instant effect on the system. As you saw, that detector you removed took a whole minute or two before the panel even knew about it. The conventional reacted in a instant, thats because the current flow in the loop ceased and kinda instantly woke up the system. The second reason, is that its easy to integrate non-firealarm-equipment into zones. For example burgular alarm, you might want to interconnect it with a burgular alarm, either to share reporting channel, or to switch between "Remote mode" and "Local mode" depending on if the burgular alarm is armed or not. With that, I mean, when people are present, it might be stupid to send the alarm instantly to the fire department, since the fire could be dealt with locally. It could just be some failed cooking that wasn't even a fire, someone already at the stove that reacted immidiately when that pot started to smoke. So thats why it could be good to have a system that is "local" when people are present, and "remote" (send a instant alarm to fire department) when the burgular system is armed and the building is clearly empty. the third reason is the vendor lockin. A conventional system can accept fire detectors from any other conventional system. You aren't locked in to one manufacturer of detectors. If you choose a adressable system, you need to purchase everything from the manufacturer of your panel. That could be advantageous in some cases, so you know everything works together, but the disadvantage is that you might have a duct detector that is shipped along with a HVAC system nicely integrated, and then you can't use it because you don't have THAT vendor of panel.

Insightful

Great talk. Can't wait to read the book.

whats that test show? i would think the way u test a sprinkler system is to get smoke near a sprinkler head and see if it goes off? im not understanding

I like your video ❤❤❤❤❤

Excellent, excellent, excellent!

ok.if you wanted to rearrange some piping ( usually around ac unit ) where we shut water off and drain pipe? Sprinkler people really need to get their pipes up and out of the way. You trying to tell me there is no shut off anywhere?

Great conversation.

Courageous

We recently had an inspection done by a local company and they said our Gauges needed to be replaced because they were older than 5 years. Can you make a video on how to replace the gauges?

This is how test and practice should be done and explain, thanks....

zone system device hs to be returned to normal before reset

Why can't the water pressure drop down to zero

Very well done.

Thanks in a million. Great content. Awesome. Very well explained. I couldn't find this explanation--simply put anywhere else. Great teachers are hard to find. Grade: A++💥

Very useful video thankyou sir 🙏

Hi im an electrician from NJ just got my license and really want to learm these sytems and wouldlike your input. I sthere a way I can PM you so we can talk? Thanks

Short and sweet, thank you!

Very good explained. Thank you and, Regards

Can be the conventional be integrated to addressable? Please advise
