2024 annual home fire alarm system testing/verification. Entire system test.

[@joeycaridi3030]

The panel's green LCD screen at the beginning zoomed in kinda looks like a Minecraft world with 2024 being built with dark blocks on grass

It actually does

[@CGray1234]

It’s weird how the alarms are synced so well that you can’t really tell which alarm you’re hearing until you're right at it

[@nics-systems-electric]

It is supposed to be synchronized

[@All_ConsumingBandu]

I think every house should come with a commercial fire alarm system.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Would add a lot of expense and most don't know how to operate them or maintain them

[@the_1drummajor]

hey man i'm thinking ab putting one in my parents place but idk if theyd be ok w it since it involves putting more holes in th walls

[@UKsystems]

Greate video like the detail and the content is always great

[@owensanders7432]

Nic, you should get one of system sensor’s more rare PC2R/WL-LF and install it somewhere

[@Fire_Alarm_And_Safety_AU]

Nice video, I love it 💯🔥.

[@owenhickey13]

What is the purpose of the green and white wires inside the duct detector?

[@Ohiokidmrrabbit123]

I LOVE UR VIDS

[@johnnyb1040]

To verify everyting is in alarm, if you go into read point status it will tell you each device in order if its in alarm or normal.

[@user-bm1ly9zv5o]

When the fire panel goes into an alarm what is the decibels for it

[@Kinboy471]

Great video! Hey, Nic, what device was this video recorded with? iPhone? Do you even have an iPhone?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes this was recorded on IPhone

[@busdriver1247RigsofRods]

i love how the cardbord notifier logo on the annunciator can't fit lol

[@user-ny1rv4ib9c]

Do you pull it for fun? Also how much does the panel cost?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Panels are worth a couple thousand

[@ConnorH_NZ]

Does the attachment on the firealarm's breaker still allow the circuit breaker to trip under fault conditions, or does it force the breaker to remain on?

[@nics-systems-electric]

The handle cannot move but the breaker still trips. It's a common misconception that holding the handle on stop the breaker from tripping however that's not true as I have a video showing that. Same reason why when a breaker is tripped you can still push the handle on but it won't actually turn on unless you turn it off first.

[@Harper_DobniYT]

You should do a lamp test to make sure the LEDs are working.

[@nics-systems-electric]

I have done those I guess I didn't get one on camera

[@Harper_DobniYT]

@@nics-systems-electriccan you get one on camera next system test?

A chime strobe would've been perfect for the garage due to nosy neighbors. Also I like your CN shirt, didn't know you liked railroad stuff

[@nics-systems-electric]

Chime strobes are meant to be quiet I want it to be loud neighbours could care less as we live right beside an elementary school if you were worried about noise this would not be a great neighbourhood to live in

Hey Nic with the garage sounder why does it have a different soun too all the others?

[@mykabeinortas9270]

Sound

[@firealarmexpert25]

@@mykabeinortas9270different horns. The ones in the hallways/bedrooms are specifically made to awaken a person up much faster than a normal horn which is in the garage. That’s why

[@firealarm421]

Amazing video. How many AH in the batteries

[@nics-systems-electric]

18 which is the minimum size the 320 can have

[@EYL8902]

I like the low frequency sounders that you have on your system. Nice.

[@TheMcGeeTwins]

My school district uses wheelock, notifier, and system sensor

[@RediblesQWQ]

Cool.

[@B9L3_Official]

Nice test

[@adventuresquadofficial]

What does the d Mean? Ex: D003 Does it mean detector?

[@Dilsonalarmsandelectrics]

Nick instead of replacing the door, how about you spring loaded hinges for the door I’ll probably make it latch

[@nics-systems-electric]

Because spring hinges perform worse than door closers. That would make the door struggle to close more. The door doesn't latch because it's bent, changing the closing hardware would not fix that. Especially not installing spring hinges which have less power than a hydraulic door closer and is why multiple are required for a legal residential fire door.

[@Redbird45]

I feel the Solo spray works better in a detector tester rather than spraying it directly into the detector from watching system test videos

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes that is with any brand that will work better when contained just have found the solo stuff in general does not work as quickly as other brands

[@An_Official_Scratcher]

Fun Fact: In the UK, Instead of Monthly fire alarm tests, they do their fire alarm tests WEEKLY. If you have a commercial fire alarm system in your home and you live in the UK, I honestly feel bad for you. IDEA: 30 Second lamp test for Monthly tests and 60 second lamp test for Annual tests

[@nics-systems-electric]

Seems strange that you would require a lamp test that long that would not prove any additional information and on many panels will give firmware panel ID and other system information

[@firetruckstrainsandroblox]

Would it be possible to have it so that if one system goes of once(like you currently have) it goes into supervisory,but if another device gets pulled/set off it puts the other one into alarm,that way it would verify that there is an actual fire

[@nics-systems-electric]

Not with the current set up of two wires going either way being monitored once the monitor module activates from a closed circuit it can't activate again

[@Earth_Number_12]

Are you gonna install a remote L series Strobe in the Panel room and I keep thinking you gonna add a carbon monoxide System to the house

I didn't have any plans for it. The house does not require CO detection as there is no risk.

[@wibwabz]

PLEASE READ ENTIRE COMMENT (you don't have to answer everything if you don't want to): 1. what is the total home fire alarm system cost in USD? 2. do you plan on creating a discord server for your viewers? 3. what does your family think of your videos? 4. do you think anyone working at Notifier watches your videos? 5. you should maybe try the LTT screw driver. 6. is electrician apprentice your only job? is that how you afford everything? 7. I have a UPS that I bought just over a year ago and havent set it up yet. The battery has been disconnected for all that time. Is it okay to set it up now or is the battery too old or too low voltage?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Fire alarm system was around $3400 CAD which is around $2500 USD that is not including the panel itself wire and boxes. And no I don't currently have discord.

[@NWIEA]

For #7, usually the batteries should be replaced every 3 years, so yeah you'll be fine

[@wibwabz]

@@NWIEA The lead acid battery won't have too low of a voltage and not charge correctly or something?

[@NWIEA]

@@wibwabzNope. Especially since it hasn’t been used so no deep discharging has occurred

Why do you love making fire alarm video?

LOL SPED UOP IS SCARY

[@Dilsonalarmsandelectrics]

Nic you might not believe me, but in America EST is royal liable because my grandma‘s work has an EST system in it and it’s not like the crappy systems in Canada. It’s actually really liable my work has EST Sega and some sort of heat detectors I don’t know which one they are and we haveEST Genesis horn, strobes and strobes. It’s a really reliable system.

[@nics-systems-electric]

It's the same shit in Canada and the US

[@Dilsonalarmsandelectrics]

Some of those EST systems I’ve seen sometimes they’re really good systems and most the times they’re bad systems but my grandma system at her work it’s so reliable

[@xnizonyt]

@nics-systems-electric not outside my expectations. From Manitoba myself, been watching a few of your videos lately. Some cool stuff. Should take a look into homeassistant and esphome if you haven't already. Would be interesting to see if you could safely integrate a lot of those system outputs into homeassistant.
