Fire alarm testing at a 1964 middle school code 3 bells (my old school school)

[@mikeross880]

Savouring the moment of hearing the mighty Durabels one last time before they get replaced.

[@MR33EE]

Had a fire drill today at school, for some reason all the gentex commander 4’s and threes were out of sync, also a weird code, also when we were done, they didn’t turn off the fire alarms right so when we went back in the building the fire alarms were still going off. Than we thought it turned off, it turned back on because they couldent reset the fire alarm so everyone was freaking out and we all went back outside XD pretty much the funniest fire drill

Alarm: Edwards 439D-10AWC's Notifier Bells (Newer Models) Edwards MB-10-24's Simplex bells

[@nics-systems-electric]

The original bells are durabells

[@mircomamsecosirensnalarms]

Press F to pay respects for the QuickStart in December

[@ticearpey3235]

I’ve said it before, but I wish there were more systems with bells in the States like with Canada. Horns can get annoying and repetitive. I know your area has quite a lot of systems with L-Series, but still.

[@Wlikescountywx07]

I agree with you

[@dutchwolf2675]

Great video! I am gonna miss annual testing. Your portable was great, unfortunately it didn’t get many views. It’s good when that shitstart gets thrown out. Is the alarm company replacing the system or taking over monitoring. If it is monitoring, will they also change the monitoring for fire? keep up the great work! I love your videos!

[@dutchwolf2675]

⁠@nics-systems-electric Nic, what used to be the old monitoring provider and with who is it getting switched to. Are they also replacing devices? And also are they gonna do fire alarm aswell? Great video!

[@mircomamsecosirensnalarms]

my parents were born in 1974 so there for they were born 10 years after that building was built

[@mykabeinortas9270]

R.I.P fire alarms 1964 - 2023 Hopefully the new system is even better😢

[@nics-systems-electric]

Well yeah some of the devices are from 64 but the panel is from 2015 even the panel it replaced an Edward and 6500 I don't think was original

[@mykabeinortas9270]

​@@nics-systems-electric oh alright I'm really going to miss seeing videos of this school Thanks for replying

[@noahfurry4146]

This video was awesome

[@Firealarmcollectorpeople_1]

Yesssss new testing video!!!!!!!!!!

[@IanGSully]

Hey, what do you think of making a goodbye video for this panel when it gets decommissioned? Sure, this thing has been a piece of crap the whole time it's been in service, but then again it has made some great content when it makes a fool out of itself!

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yeah I will probably make a last test video if we are doing the final fire drill before the replacement

[@wilson9hern]

A Can Of Air Would Work Better Then Waving The Solar Kit.

[@nics-systems-electric]

It would but you would need one long enough to reach to the detector leaf blower would be good too but it is an extra thing to carry around

[@nics-systems-electric]

It used to be Telus and no they don't replace devices

[@SomeGuyWithInternet]

Can't wait to see that QuickStart system go! I think the only things that will be missed are the bells... Do you think any of them will be kept when the Notifier system is installed or will they all have to be swapped to horn strobes to comply with code? Great video as always!

[@nics-systems-electric]

The bell will be changed to L- series horns for listed compatibility with the new panel

[@Shark-cc9ck]

Man if only i knew where to get the systems to make my own fire alarm system at home

Is this the school that had the system malfunction a couple of months back

[@nics-systems-electric]

This system has had lots of malfunctions at lots of different times

[@bencoatesworth7731]

Why did you hold the bells while testing in the portables

[@nics-systems-electric]

Because they're loud and hurt your ears

[@alarmsandamtrak]

Not exactly related to this, but I'm wondering, when are you going to begin building your home fire alarm system?

Did you guys finally fix those Wonky Relays heading out to the portables? This is that school isnt it? The School of Hells Bells goof ups in the wiring.

We fixed some stuff in the portables but then new problems showed up with the lights not lighting up for the correct portable

replace the not healthy Edwards 439D 10 awc with a 6 inch 439D

[@nics-systems-electric]

No all the 439s are fine only durabells are giving out I don't believe they manufacture the 439 series anymore anyways. And even if they did this entire system is getting replaced

No we won't be doing the work it gets contracted out this time

Hey Nic, you want to know why that system went into alarm?

[@nics-systems-electric]

The only thing we can come up with is that smoke can was left screwed in in the bag and leaked into the hallway

If the fire alarm panel gets replaced, will it still do the code 3, or will it be continues? And also are the bells going away too? And get replaced with horn strobes?

It would be temp 3 horn strobes

Because residential smoke alarms are terrible and beep when the batteries get low and are annoying and may have been needed at a different school
