Fire alarm and Carbon monoxide system test

[@gentexguy]

Those Wheelock strobes look really awesome going off! Also, for the tower pull, you could program it as a drill switch and that would set off the alarms but wouldn't activate the alarm relay, so your door would stay locked. You could even set it as an auto-reset drill switch so that the alarms stop sounding when you reset the pull station, just a thought!

Great video!! Love seeing the new demo board using your Notifier!! Stay safe and have fun! ...

[@siphonralarms9411]

Love the new LED strobes! Need to get myself one of them

[@FaFromCastle]

Me to

[@nathanbirnofficial]

I must say this system test is the best one yet

[@taxilthegreenchicken999]

02:08 I like your yellow pull station

[@firealarm421]

You should get a can of dust off spray to spray out the smoke from the detectors after you test them

[@nics-systems-electric]

It’s usually OK this can is just running out

[@trina5648]

Nice video❤ I love it

[@vrryan6]

Demo board is looking good Nic, main system is pretty neat to. Good job

[@nics-systems-electric]

Thanks

[@MisterBrownJack]

Great test!

[@Roxxofoxxo]

Nice vid!!! Pretty cool system btw!!

[@relevanteaglealarms109]

You also have a panel for a carbon monoxide alarm likely.

[@nics-systems-electric]

There is no separate panel it’s still on the fire alarm panel

Just re watched the vid and saw a lot of Sneek a peeks.

Cool I had to wire my fire alarm system up lol

[@firekid1940]

Cool

[@uniteddrones7626]

Can you make a video showing the programming method for CO? I cannot figure out how to program a output as just CO “hazard, supervisory or anything else like that. Co module just sets off my fire alarms = all nacs programmed for fire warnings. Can you please help out with that one, thanks nic

[@nics-systems-electric]

I have videos showing this whole installation and no you can't use the nac's for supervisory you have to use a control module I have videos showing all of that

[@uniteddrones7626]

@@nics-systems-electric which video are you referring too I’d love to give it a viewing, good thing I have a control module on the way already

[@GaryBeltz]

Why does the low frequency sounder make two short blasts and 2 long ones before doing code-3 when the system is first triggered?

[@nics-systems-electric]

It does that when it’s trying to figure out the sync protocol it sounds like a glitch but it’s just the sync protocol working

@Pickle 700 Systems & Electric: Im starting an internship at a fire alarm company in hopes i can install and inspect one day. What can I expect?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Not entirely sure how fire alarm companies are I’ve never worked directly with fire alarm companies just with electricians which work alongside them when installing systems not sure how much installing you will do other than panel programming where I am the fire alarm technician is not allowed to install the system it has to be a third-party installing it at a different person programming

[@TheCarson116]

2:08 A *yellow* 270-SPO? Where'd you get that?

[@nics-systems-electric]

I painted it myself but they do make yellow ones

[@TheCarson116]

@@nics-systems-electric The only factory-painted yellow 270-SPO I know of is the one rebranded by "Gaylord" (which apparently also come in red).

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@TheCarson116 ya that’s probably the one I saw

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

thats obvosly going to go off as you need to clean the detector if you reset the system but not in walktest

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yeah but it was like 20 minutes later and I did blow it out a little

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

@@nics-systems-electric that might not have Ben enough as maybe the testing smoke was all around the place and the panel wants to make sure every inating device is not active

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440 you don’t normally need to clean out the detectors but I had to spray a lot of smoke because the can is running out

[@VOLTRONDEFENDER4440]

@@nics-systems-electric ik but if you use that on a home Smoke detector you need to press the hush button which is just a silent button

[@FourtyFiftyEighty]

did you have to run new wires for the carbon monoxide strobe

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes

[@FourtyFiftyEighty]

@@nics-systems-electric Nice! I was asking because you could do a voice system with the matching speaker strobes. I was just making sure it was even possible to do before I suggested it :)

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@FourtyFiftyEighty I would still need to run more again for audio

[@FourtyFiftyEighty]

[@young-zombie1157]

Pickle 700 can you do a security system test please cuz I have my own security system

[@nics-systems-electric]

Probably will someday

[@dutchwolf2675]

Yes finally!

[@relevanteaglealarms109]

11:52 Spoiler alert

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yeah it’s not done yet I will make a video once it’s done

[@FaFromCastle]

9:21 is that 270 SPO weatherproof?

[@nics-systems-electric]

No it’s not rated for wet locations

[@FaFromCastle]

Then u shall add a cover to protect it with a cover

[@cooperreed254]

How about you put a horn strobe on the outside of your garage

[@LogicDoesStuff]

Neighbors would be mad.

[@IanGSully]

Have you ever done a code upgrade on your panel before?

[@nics-systems-electric]

No I have not

[@michaelloving8004]

I guess the smoke detector still had smoke in it and just went into alarm ?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Ya that’s what happened

[@susansorrentino6130]

Do a walk test next time

[@nics-systems-electric]

For annual test yes not monthly though

I don't know if you said this when you installed the security system, but would you ever link the fire panel to the security system?

I tried but it was being difficult
