Fire alarm drill at elementary school. Last Edwards 6500 fire drill

[@nics-systems-electric]

I apologize for my seemingly grumpiness in this video it would appear the locked doors were frustrating me as there are some annoying locks that are difficult to operate one handed lol

[@connorcosgrove2240]

Is it getting upgraded?

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@connorcosgrove2240 yes

[@IanGSully]

Trust me, Nic. I would have been in the same way lol.

[@NyxKemo]

That annunciator buzzer sounds cool and creepy at the same time

I love the responsiveness of the system. There was no noticeable lag in the system. Edward: What Fire? Bet I got this. Notifier: Ohh? fire? Ok hold on, let me find out where and I'll sound the horns.

[@eDoc2020]

I found the service manual online and it's all "dumb" electronics, no microprocessor in sight.

[@willbill808]

What a lovely old Edwards system. Glad you took a video before it went away.

[@RASpitzer23]

I kinda like the sound that buzzer on the front door annunciator panel made. It really gives that old panel some personality. The buzzer on the main panel sounds like it's crying for mercy, though...

[@mikeross880]

Kinda a sad day, this was a system I really enjoyed. None the less some great memories here and wouldn’t it be just awesome if you could keep the annunciator once they replace it. That and some 70’s Durabels

[@adamk9652]

2:35 Clifford the Big Red Dog. Yeah remember those books and the show as a kid.

[@IanGSully]

Hey, are you putting a NFS2-640C in this school or NFS-320C? To my understanding it is going to be a full addressable upgrade?

[@CWM030]

5:26 lol at the "défectuosité" or DEFECT light blinking. I guess " TROUBLE" in Francais is défectuosité?

[@Tommybouchard2007]

i remember my old elementary school in stony plain Alberta i went there from 1997 to 1999 it had a similer system like this it did have mix of Edwards 439d but instead of mb10,24's it was wheelock bells and a couple of Edwards 6 inch bells hanging around but from what i heard it was replaced by new adressable devices during modernization and expansion but i dont know what the new devices are though

[@SodiumInduction-hv]

putting in a nfs-320?

[@thetoffeetable]

Thanks for another excellent video. Good thing you're replacing that system soon. The panel and annunciator piezo sounds horrible. Question, do you think you could ever get permission to actually pull the alarm for one of the fire drills instead of just opening it and flipping the switch? That would be cool to see even if you remove the glass rod first to avoid wasting it.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Thanks. The piezo sounds different because it isn't really one but it's a buzzer so they do sound different. I think I have removed the glass in the past if I've felt like it. It just takes a bit longer to put back together before walking around.

[@mikeross880]

The sounders in the panel and annunciator are the exact same Edwards horns that Honeywell used as the alarm component in their TC49A household smoke detectors (The AC powered types) between 1974-1977. If you look up Honeywell TC49A smoke across KZbin you will see several demo videos of them and you’ll know what I mean.

[@canadianemergencylights]

just wondering if you guys will test the emergency lights there?

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@canadianemergencylights yes all schools are required to have the emergency lighting testing annually for 30 minutes and once a month for a quick test

[@canadianemergencylights]

are you going to make a vid about it?

[@splatoongigi2523]

To be honest, I would also be annoyed if doors were locked if I am inspecting the rooms to see if the alarms are working

[@kansasstatealerting2874]

Unfortunate that it’s being replaced, those bells sound awesome! Although it’s for the best since some of them aren’t working. Is a System Sensor system going in?

[@dylanchalmers3011]

@NIC'S SYSTEMS & ELECTRIC what system is this being upgraded to? wheelock? system sensor? gentex?

[@ticearpey3235]

Likely Notifier with System Sensor

[@DanTDMJace]

His school district uses Notifier/System Sensor.

[@ryancrooks123]

Will You Be Making A Video Of The Fire Alarm System Replacement Will The New Fire Alarm System Be Notifier nfs 640 With System Sensor L Series P2RLS Oops Never Mind The Was Uploaded 4 Hours Ago

[@nics-systems-electric]

The video is already out

[@ryancrooks123]

​@@nics-systems-electricWell I Should Of Check Your Channel For The Video To Watch Before Asking

[@godstenrules]

In some of your videos, you act like kids when pulling the fire alarms. I have a question: When you were in school, did you pull the fire alarms a lot?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Not really sure what you mean. I still am a student in the school district and yes of course I've pulled many alarms doing years of testing and drills etc.

[@godstenrules]

@nics-systems-electric didn't know that you were still a student. I was thinking like when you were a little kid or like a teen or preteen

[@dedricyeotzehao]

If the drill bell need but is locked in the school but I go wrong in the school:l commands

[@ehtransit1306]

Did this happen the first day after winter break?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Was like two months ago

[@BRISTOLFORCE2009]

Was it me or was there an electronic bell? I could hear one

[@DanTDMJace]

No not in Canada, that's not allowed

RIP Bell Edwards Fire Alarms

[@bertythebullyoutubechannel5690]

Hey a nother panel that still works for your collection

[@keithpierce8458]

Which fire alarm system is it going to get replaced into

[@jacobflanigan6343]

Notifier NFS-320 series most likely

[@Harper_DobniYT]

Where can I get pull stations and stuff like that?

[@nics-systems-electric]

eBay and online wholesalers

[@Harper_DobniYT]

Ok thanks

[@GriffEisfelder]

What does die mean

[@stephaniesobetski8786]

Awesome Video😊

[@dedricyeotzehao]

I expected -_-

[@notifiersystemsensor3030rl]

Idk why im asking this may sound dumb but do the durabels use the same gong as the 439d and mb10-24 because they sound alot like those 2 bells even tho those came out before those 2

[@nics-systems-electric]

Each of those have their own gong specific to them

Why is it the last 6500 drill? Is it up for replacement?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes

[@AschTheWolf]

@nics-systems-electric That sucks. It's a nice panel, too.

[@therobloxplayer226]

I love the instant activation systems

[@GaryBeltz]

The buzzer in both the fire alarm control panel and the annunciator are annoying LO. L

[@nics-systems-electric]

I like them better than the electronic piezos on the new ones

[@midnightclubshow4332]

They are pretty interesting though

[@whelenvortexr4]

When is it getting an upgrade?

[@hobbesip1]

Probably when it is no longer cost effective to maintain an already working system.

[@nics-systems-electric]

It's done now

[@ticearpey3235]

The panel and annunciator buzzers sound like plant meltdown alarms.

[@jesseylarkin6606]

What was that noise after the bells were silenced?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Trouble buzzer
