Fire Alarm System - Tamper Switch Alarm (Episode F109)

An alarm has activated due to a sprinkler tamper switch. I searched and replaced the faulty tamper.

This guy know for years strata is very knowledgeable his staff are very professional

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Thanks Peter. Cheers.

[@edisonschrader4046]

Thank you, very helpful !

[@sebastiannielsen]

you should really do something about the root cause too. Like, they don't corrode out of the blue. Either that valve have a tiny tiny tiny pinhole leak, or the area itself where that tamper switch may be too humid. I would suggest improving sealing between switch casing and switch base too with some bathroom silicon. Just do something so that switch doesn't fail in a year or two again.

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Thanks.. I found a leak just above it and it's all fixed.

Boss thankyou.

[@stephenhart6158]

What you didn't mention was the Product name Potter, (USA) you also didn't explain that there is a groove in the OS &Y spindle and the arm which comes out of the tamper switch must sit in this groove, once the valve begins to shut, this arm comes out of the groove onto the round part of the spindle and its this action which sends an error message to the fire panel. In Australia we have both a class B supervisory tamper switch and a Class A anti tamper switch . How about doing a story about a class A - how it works and under what circumstances must you use it- relates to an Australian/NZ standard. I've a class A in the pump room in another one of your videos Have you done anything about supervisory switches in butterfly valves? Like your videos Steve

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Thanks Steve, I did supervisory switches before for tamper switches and valve monitoring as well. I will try to do videos for them once I came across. Thanks a lot.

[@user-ot6ic8ob1v]

Any idea what would cause a Main floor pre action tamper supervisory abnormal trouble code? This would be sprinkler related, right?

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Misalignment... it can not read the monitoring resistor

Hi sir very informative ung video and willing po maglearn more, mayroon po ba kayong mga trainings na available? Btw im here po sa sydney

[@ryanvaldez4197]

Now I know how tamper switch are for. Thank you! I have a question sir, tamper and flow Switch can be connected to a FACP? right?

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Both of them are connected to the FACP for monitoring. However, flow switch, once activated, will activate the evacuation system of a particular level or zone where sprinkler water flow occurred. Then, the evacuation sound will cascade until the building is totally evacuated. In Australia, it's called EWIS (Evacuation Warning Intercommunication System).

[@Bilal-ki6pp]

Sir You have explained very well where do you work Do you have any information about Fer Diesel Engine Pump control panel 12 v

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Hi Mate. Thanks. I am running my own fire protection company here in sydney. For that type of pump control panel, I have not encountered that. Mostly here are locally made control 12v system such as A Line, All Pumps, APC to suit the Australian standard 2941. Wish I can help.

[@LingidCSL]

Ilng years po inabot nung tamper tito bago napalitan? Sobrang layo na sa brandnew di na po nakilala. Haha

[@haroldabbot7763]

if you close the valve then reopen is the panel still in alarm and has to be reset or not? if the tamper switches are in series how do you know which one if not the whole four has been tampered with?

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

If the tamper is fully open, the alarm shall reset itself automatically. Most of them are program to be non-latching or resting once normalised itself. If they are in series and indicate an alarm, it's a trial and error which among them (valves) was moved or failed normal setting.

[@renzencasas]

Hi sir. Nice video. I just wanna ask if fire alam monitor module is required to connect the tamper switch to FDAS?

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Hi Renzen, monitor modules are connected to each tamper switch for FDAS monitoring. But these tamper switches are not meant to call the fire brigade but only to alert the building manager. Thnxs for asking.

[@miguelcasipe8876]

Hello sir good day in the suction line there is a check if the pipe is in vertical position in the cistern thank?

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

If you are referring to the check valve, that line is the by-pass if engine is not operational.

[@reymundoleones6932]

Sir have a nice day,yon po bang suction O.S. &Y gatevalve kailangan pa bang lagyan ng Tamper switch? At pati yong Control O.S.&y gatevalve ng Flowmeter guage?

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

I have to clear. Ang purpose of tamper switch is for monitoring. If there's no rules or standard about tamper monitoring...magiging optional yan.

[@chrischilders7498]

Local 281….. watching….

[@mdtutulhasan9079]

Shall we need any monitor or input module to get information from temper switch?

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Tamper switches are monitored to an input module. Your output will be based on your requirement. It could be a separate zone for a conventional circuit. In addressable, just a monitor module or single input device will do.

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Nice to know that. We only use metal conduits for fire stairs and areas where cables may be damaged. All cables used must be 1 - 2 hrs fire rated depends if its for detection or monitoring. Cheers.

How To Land Wire On 3 Parelle OS&Y Tamper And Do Resister Volume Change

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Running cables in parallel for 3 tamper switches is a cheap way to monitor all existing main isolating valves. The monitoring resistor of 10K remained the same in parallel connection.

[@justinmyname7734]

can we connect tamper switch to pump control panel or just in FDAS panel only

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

The purpose is to monitor the tamper switch as it is part of the fire system. Pump controls are for pumps only but any abnormality in the pump control such as failed pump, no power in the controls ...should be monitored as well by the FDAS.

[@reymundoleones6932]

Sir saan dapat ilagay ang tamper switch? Sa discharge valve ba?

[@reymundoleones6932]

Sir Yon po bang Jockey pump discharge O.S.&Y GV kailangan din po bang lagyan ng Tamper switch?

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

@@reymundoleones6932 ...sorry for the late reply. Tamper switches are mostly installed in the supply side. Ang jockey pump don't need a tamper monitoring.

[@MusikBoks18]

sir paano po magreset ng tamper switch? naka bypass kc sa fdas, and naka marked as closed. paano ibalik sa normally open? kailangan pa ba baklasin? maraming salamat

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

Tamper switch are program as non-latching. It should rest itself once the short circuit alarm is cleared. If it was in a conventional set-up, you just reset the zone after clearing the short circuit sa tamper switch. Salamat.

[@vinztv5641]

Master paano ibalik ang setting ng fire pump at jockey pump kung sakaling tapos na Ang sunod

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

If the pumps pressure switches are not affected, it good to go. Otherwise, kailangang palitan ang pressure switch that runs the pumps and set it again sa required starting pressure.

[@hardworkingpinoy5763]

Sir pwedi po makahungi Ng wiring diagram

[@vincentjayanzures4400]

sir question lang po. Need pa ba natin maglagay ng monitor module sa flow switch para sa fire alarm or direct na sa flow switch to fire alarm. okay lang na hindi na for monitoring?

[@fireprotectionguy7943]

For tamper switch, we use a monitor module that is non-latching. Yung automatic to reset after the problem clears- either an alarm or a fault. For flow switch, a relay module or can be a monitor module depends sa gamit mo. Sample, flow switch. Level 1 to level 20 had a sprinkler . Each level has a flow switch to identify switch level has a flow of water. Flow switch should not activate an alarm but activate an evacuation system in that level where water is flowing. The trigger for an alarm activation is the loss in pressure hence the pressure switch. So, if level 10 where the fire is, flow switch triggered level 10 EVAC/EWIS and cascade 1 or 2 level up and 1 or 2 level down.
