Fire Suppression Test #5

[@FireAlarmGuy13]

Hahaha! So halal!

[@alexgilbert2]

LMAO

[@a.r.aproductions1569]

Much Halal Yes!

[@willbill808]

Time to vamoose when the dying duck quacks for Halon.

[@EYL8902]

Nice, I love it. Those 7002Ts with the halon wording are rare and cool!

[@ElCalamardo69]

Old school Fenwal! I've only seen one such panel but that one had a big Halon ball hanging from the ceiling

[@a.r.aproductions1569]

Wait till you gotta remove a bunch of those old Fenwal Spheres. Pain in the butt man. Spent a whole week doing it back in October.

[@aidanthetoiletelevatorfire7554]

I love the system!

[@burnoutteamclubbtcp7283]

Yep, there are some Halon systems that will automatically activate the Main Fire Alarm System.

[@alexgilbert2]

I heard about that before, it makes sense honestly

[@samanthashafer1742]

Without even reading the description I heard the sound of a cold head and I thought, this is either a radiology floor or a magnetic laboratory. Been through enough MRIs to know the sound of a chugging helium tank

[@IndustryAndMusic]

Awesome video. Suppression systems are some of the coolest alarm systems, especially Halon. Is Halon 1301 the only variant of Halon that is still used this day or is Halon 1211 still used?

[@a.r.aproductions1569]

1211 is only used in extinguishers. It has a higher concentration and drops the oxygen content down way lower than 1301 does. The whole point of Halon 1301 was to have a rapid suppression agent with minimal damage to equipment and to people.

[@IndustryAndMusic]

@@a.r.aproductions1569 that's what I thought. I have been trying to find more about Halon because there have been so many variations and most of them are dangerous for humans, it's just been hard to find videos like that because Halon is not something that you can just go out and discharge, but now I know a little bit more. Thanks!

[@vrryan6]

Very cool. I love suppression systems, they’re so cool!

[@user-Calebculwell]

Those are some cool devices

[@GaryBeltz]

I thought Halon systems had to be replaced with FM200 or some other suppression systems because of risk of suffocation for anyone stuck in the room and other regulations.

[@GaryBeltz]

@MBTA Fan they are generally tied to the buildings fire alarm system but they are meant to protect server rooms, labs and other sensitive areas

[@a.r.aproductions1569]

Halon is non toxic to humans. It was deemed unsafe for the environment because of its effects on global warming. You could be in a room with halon dumping and you will be fine. CO2 on the other hand, it can kill you.

[@firealarm2903_]

So cool!!!

[@alexgilbert2]

where do you keep finding halon systems with their own alarms? this is still awesome though!!

[@a.r.aproductions1569]

Im a Halon/ Clean Agent Suppression Technician. These systems are actually in more places than you would think. So I do these more often than fire alarm now. I try to film all these old ones because there isn’t much documentation or many videos of them existing. Im glad you enjoyed!

[@alexgilbert2]

@@a.r.aproductions1569 thanks a lot man, you really got me interested in halon systems now. hopefully you can show us more, never knew you were a halon technician

[@a.r.aproductions1569]

@@alexgilbert2 I will try and do as many as possible. I’m glad you enjoy them! They really are awesome!

[@alexgilbert2]

@@a.r.aproductions1569one question, when you mentioned the horns outside do they also have halon lettering or just general fire

[@a.r.aproductions1569]

@@alexgilbert2 when I walk out the door and show the other 7002T, that’s what I am referring to. The one outside the protected area.

[@noahfurry4146]

I thought all halon was removed along time ago

[@riseandfallchannel2763]

i seen halon alarms like that online, Never in person. Still cool just wondering where this is found lemme take a guess… sensitive areas?

[@a.r.aproductions1569]

Usually areas where there is sensitive data or equipment that if damaged, would cost thousands if not millions in losses.

[@riseandfallchannel2763]

@@a.r.aproductions1569 like a lab?

[@midnightjackolantern1070]

do u have to have A DAEPLOMA TO DO THIS JOB

[@a.r.aproductions1569]

Yes you need a high school diploma to do this job. However, a college education usually isn’t needed to do this. Most of the skills you learn on the job.

[@firealarm2903_]

Were the MS2s added later on?

[@a.r.aproductions1569]

Nope. They are original to the system. These are pretty old models from the 80’s.
