Aldi's fire alarm test.

Just a short video of me testing the fire alarm system. Fire Lite MS9050UD addressable system. 1 smoke, 4 pull stations , 2 duct detectors, 1 waterfowl and 1 supervisory zone. Horn/Strobes are System Sensor.

[@it2044]

I never would have thought that there would be fire alarms in the freezer lol

[@GaryBeltz]

They have to considering the walls in a freezer are a few feet thick in some instances. Cell phones don't always get reception in their either. They were probably installed to make sure that anyone in the freezer is able to hear it should the system go off.

[@josephmartinez3109]

Lol ikr

[@dkelevators3723]

Me too

[@BlueThunderboltsiren]

It makes sense

[@hqgirl567]

Lol I agree

[@ZakWolf]

The Walmart I used to work at had a fire alarm system sounding just like that. It was an addressable Fire-Lite MS-9600UDLS system, with SpectrAlert Advance horn/strobes on Code-3. I remember in the storeroom/receiving/maintenance area, it sure was loud and obnoxious, but in the break room it wasn't as bad, even with a horn/strobe installed right in there (maybe it was set on "low" volume?)

[@EmillioMelendez]

wileyk209zback cool I think it's creepy to have fire drills in buildings with big ceilings like Walmart

[@GaryBeltz]

They don't do drills per se Emilio Melendez they will however, do tests every so often. Usually the alarm company will have an employee get on the PA and say something like "Attention Walmart customers and associates! We are conducting a sprinkler and fire alarm test, please disregard any fire alarms heard until further notice. We apologize for the inconvenience. THIS IS ONLY A TEST!"

0:36 looks like that green display and light that's likely some sort of Honeywell/ADT 6160 or 6160V security keypad (Its above the BG-12)

[@FireTech7]

... No ... That's called a fire alarm Announciator. It's a fire lite Ann-80. And the pull is a fire lite BG-12LX

[@UltimateManager]

No.. If you pause the video at 0:36 that clearly the green LED means that the security system is ready to arm. And that green display on a white housing thats the ADT/honeywell/ademco 6160/6160v security keypad not a fire alarm keypad. Now the ann-80 has a red housing and its clearly visible toward the end

Cool how you started the test with a water flow. That looked like low pleasure though. I am used to seeing higher pressures than that.

[@armorsecsys]

that valve you see me open is supposed to simulate 1 sprinkler head open. When you have just 1 head open, that's about the amount of water that would be coming out. when you see people testing and more water comes out, they are using a normal valve to open it all the way. this new valve actually tests to make sure the flow switch activate with low flow within the allotted time. if you turn the valve on full blast, more water is flowing so the sprinkler flow would activate quicker.

[@NexTech7]

[@ajaugenti1976]

We have the very same unit that was, installed last year at Lowes Foods in Garner, NC. Let me tell you, it's fing loud that it rips everyone elses ears off including mine. Not only that, but it scares the living hell out of my co-workers too as well. We've had our yearly fire alarm testing almost 3 weeks ago on a Thursday morning, the technician guys were there (very kind lads) that took their time to understand my Autism Aspburger disability. To tell you the truth, I couldn't always handle any loud certain noises like the big fire alarm systems. I'm a 40 year old woman with a disability, it's very hard for me to work with loud noises etc. I can handle a smoke detector so, that's not a problem me! Anyways, great work on your video!!!!!!

[@Thomashorsman]

I test the sprinkler system at Sainsbury’s (big supermarket) every week and it takes 2-3 minutes of water flow for the alarm to go off. The test valve is only opened half way, not to the full drain, so that might be why it takes so long for the alarm.

[@jeffc6167]

[@1DeathEater]

That's kinda cool, so do you do other inspections at other stores or places as well?? Or no??

[@armorsecsys]

I do

[@jorgeburgos3405]

The alarms are the advances

[@Toongeek45]

Is the purpose of the waterflow zone specifically for that test valve? If not, what would be a real alarm scenario triggered by water flow?

[@boginator55]

If a sprinkler somewhere in the building activated in response to a fire, water would flow in the sprinkler system. Thus when a "waterflow" detector activates, the fire alarm panel reads this as a sprinkler has activated to suppress a fire somewhere in the building.

[@davidperry4013]

System sensor notification appliances are cheaper, more reliable, and easier to install than Simplex though. Simplex true alerts tend to have horn inductors that fail and they require a special junction box from simplex. However, you can mount simplex, EST, and Wheelock notification appliances in a standard junction box.

[@RaceTrac2020]

Dfordium this might be a stupid question. What's the point of fire alarms on the ceiling?

[@VerifiedNubTM]

There is really no difference. They can be more visible and or people have pictures or something on the wall that they don't want a fire alarm to mess up.

[@Thebustermann]

The drain is actually a test cock, that triggers the alarm after water flow is detected. Or can also be used to drain the system down when performing maintenance, but most sprinkler systems remain charged ready for use. As for strobes on the ceiling, this is more common in the US. Not the UK.

[@radiosnmore1225]

[@Dfordium]

He was testing the sprinkler system activator. In this building it looks like when the sprinkler is drained enough, it will set off the alarm.

[@boginator55]

Actually, he's opening the valve to simulate the activation of a sprinkler head somewhere in the building. Once a sprinkler deploys or the test valve opens, water flows through the central pipe and activates a waterflow detector that sets off the fire alarm.

[@andrewcanterbury880]

what is the water about in the beginning

[@GaryBeltz]

He's testing the flow switch for the sprinkler system. The switch has a delay timer (up to 90 seconds) to avoid false alarms from water surges and so on. If you watch in the video once the alarms sound after he goes back inside you can see him turn the test/inspect switch. It's required that once a year the sprinkler systems are checked for pressure and flushed out.

[@GaryBeltz]

They didn't pull it necessarily Sprinkler systems have to maintain a certain pressure if the water pressure drops below a certain level or if there is a leak in the system the flow switch for the fire alarm triggers the system.
