Fire Alarm Generator Emergency Shutdown | Wiring and Installation Part 1

[@wibwabz]

IDEA FOR GARAGE FIRE ALARM TESTING: maybe try the fog machine in the attic of the garage to see how long it takes for the fog to go down to a smoke detector. Also, if you're looking for an auto extinguishing solution for your generator building that's not sprinklers, you should look at the AFO Fire Ball things. When there is fire, they explode and launch powder everywhere, extinguishing a small fire.

[@nics-systems-electric]

I'm thinking it probably wouldn't ever make it down to a smoke detector the front area might but I doubt the back area would as it is sealed off and I may look into that type of extinguisher

[@kimcorradini]

Have a google for stat-x they do fire extinguishers

[@kimcorradini]

@@nics-systems-electric stat-x is a good Fire extinguisher

What about the September fire ALARM test

You’re filming job is getting really good

0:02 - Yes, Nic, we all know you have one of the coolest garages in North America, stop rubbing it in. 🤣 Seriously, though, your garage is a physical representation of your career progression. A hands-on résumé instead of a paper résumé. It's OK to flex a bit. 2:36 - I was going to suggest this very thing, but it seems you'd thought of it as well. 11:14 - LOL ...can't wait for Part 2!

[@nics-systems-electric]

Physical resume, I like it!

[@iiileoniii1572]

Very nice to see my feedback implemented this Quick :D Can´t wait to see this in action.

[@noxious_nights]

As soon as I saw this video I was like, hey, didn't someone just comment about doing this?

[@Sparky-joystick.1308]

That's great idea the case of a fire generator shed shut down automatic that's pretty smart 👌

[@hkprogram837]

really like this new "style" of videos !!

[@TheFirePanel]

Damn you got this one up pretty quick! Nice to see it coming together. Regarding that module, if it were me I'd just keep the Notifier one on there. As long as it works, it's great for a system in your home.. And not paying extra $60 for a module? Very worth it.

[@Γιωργος-ι3ξ]

Nice addition to the fire alarm system!

[@kc0eks]

Always love seeing your next project.

[@Dilsonalarmsandelectric]

Nic if you wanna make all your systems on your property notifier for the garage system I recommend the notifier nfw2-100 it’s basically the same thing as a fire light panel, but it notifier version. I think those panels look nicer, but nobody got time for that

[@kc0eks]

You should do some networking stuff, wireless p2p, cameras connected to relays and security system, etc etc. bet you could come up with some wild automations

[@All_ConsumingBandu]

You're my favorite KZbinr! Keep up the great work 👍

[@bread_cat__]

Awesome job Nic!!

[@MaxShaw-243]

For September testing you should do the pull station in the tower

[@FireGuy1500]

Maybe test the generator heat detector for a fire alarm test sometime, and is the tone on the garage fire alert alarm in the house ever going to be changed

[@iashbanen]

Nice very nice video!

[@COSMIC_SECRET]

I suggest making the low/high temp monitor shut the generator down if it’s above a certain temperature like 93°C+ so the generator doesn’t overheat

[@nics-systems-electric]

It's not necessary really as it just to give me a heads up that the generator will exceed its maximum temperature soon because it will shut down by itself at high temperature. And 93 Celsius would be way too high that would be 199 Fahrenheit

[@InstrumentFan2510]

What back box do you use for Pull stations and horn strobes?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Pull stations go on single device boxes and most notification devices can go on device box or 4 in.² or octagon.

[@InstrumentFan2510]

@@nics-systems-electric I meant, what model is the back box you use for Pull stations and notification appliances?

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@InstrumentFan2510 there's probably 30 different boxes depending on what your doing

[@robertbeyers1308]

Nic great idea. On setting the fire alarm to turn off the generator. But I do have a on your particular setup. I do you know you have said that you do not have natural gas. But this question I think this is a valid question for those who have natural gas setup. Is it possible to put a electronic shut-off valve on a natural gas line for the system to close the gas valve when it is not running. And to open when the generator is running? And I mean with the auto controller.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes it has auxiliary relays that can be programmed

[@keithpierce8458]

Nice addition

Hi! Tomorrow, I'm starting high school. I'm excited and nervous.

your camera was out of focus for a lot of the video, maybe try use a smaller aperture size! other than that, great video keep up the good work

[@nics-systems-electric]

When you say a lot of the video how much do you mean? I know there was a specific section where the auto focus was tracking me as I didn't lock it off to manual focus?

[@Dilsonalarmsandelectric]

Nick, you should put a outdoor advance outside the front door of your house if the house catches on fire and call 911 to report the fire the fire department can see the flashing strobe as they arrive

[@DozIT]

I don’t think auto-dialers to 911 are legal anymore, or if they are it’s not best practice. Which is where the whole 24/7 monitoring services came from. He does have SMS notifiers which are the next best thing (aka self-monitor)

[@Dilsonalarmsandelectric]

@@DozIT I don’t mean the system is monitored. I mean, he calls 911.

[@DozIT]

@@Dilsonalarmsandelectric ahh okay! That’s how commercial fire systems in my area work (strobe to notify dept which building - and to help find the CACF room)

[@ebelray6890]

Is this the first time the generator is out of its home since you bought it?

[@nics-systems-electric]

No every time I service it I take it out

[@RossTheGenMan]

Great video. Just wondering if the generator is shut off but not by the module... if the module will try to restart it.

[@nics-systems-electric]

No it will send an error email that the generator has shut down

[@eDoc2020]

Even if the module tries to restart it won't be able to. As long as the alarm relay is closed the ignition will be killed. It would just crank but not fire.

[@kimcorradini]

I think you should add a CO2 detector to the generator building

[@nics-systems-electric]

I don't really see the purpose it's not a occupied space

[@Dani8lYT]

Disable autofocus on your new camcorder? It only blurs out the background.

[@nics-systems-electric]

That's normal and desired for blurred background with wider aperture

[@Dani8lYT]

@@nics-systems-electric It’s troubling to me; but it shouldn’t be doing that for when you’re present in the foreground. Seems strange to have it change automatically.

[@benrodriguez4905]

Hi nic how is it going

[@kevinbradt835]

Would it be better to remove all wires from terminal 3 on the control box and connect terminal 3 of to control box to com on the fire alarm relay and the. Connect the wire that returns to the control box enclosure to the normally closed terminal on the alarm relay and then the other end to the generator and add a negative wire to the normaly open of the alarm relay to turn off the generator and to prevent the generator controller from trying to start the generator again

[@nics-systems-electric]

Not sure why that would be necessary sounds more complex

[@hotbytesB]

Where is Wednesday video at?

[@mircomamsecosirensnalarms]

how about you make he generator also shut off when the hi temp alarm sounds

[@nics-systems-electric]

Not necessary the generator will do that by itself the high temp supervisor is just meant to give me a warning that the generator is getting near its automatic shut off temperature
