Home Fire Alarm System Expansion. Adding An Addressable Smoke Detector to Notifier NFS-320C

[@Firealarmperson902]

Jaxon was angry but my dog wasn’t , good work Nic have a good day

[@MatterRBX]

Hey Nic! American here, older NFPA codes state that they don't *technically* need to be bonded to pass inspections but if I recall newer installations AND retrofits MUST be bonded. Also, great work on another vid! Keep it up!

Nice install Nic 😊❤, Good to see the loop isolators work as they should 😄

I agree about the smoke bases. They're a pain to mount, especially on single-gang boxes. I actually broke a couple of bases yesterday during an install just by trying to tighten the screws.

[@IanGSully]

One suggestion to where I would add a smoke or heat detector is directly above the main electrical panel inside that cavity, I mean I know there is a space where smoke can travel from that cavity to the furnace room to trip the smoke detector in there but who knows how long it would take for smoke to get from that cavity to the furnace room. Got that idea from some of schools have a smoke or heat detector in those small electrical rooms.

[@thelifeaofyoutuberday5822]

Hey Nic there's thing called thread locker, it helps with issues like this, it goes on the threads of the screws and helps make sure the screws are tight in place, Red thread locker can only be removed with heat, I'd recommend blue thread locker

[@nics-systems-electric]

I didn't have any problems with machine screws backing out

[@lightsfansmore6619]

I like seeing your videos because I am an electricity enthusiast

[@FI-TECH-250]

Nice! I accually bought my own control panel. Its not a notifier, as they are not common in germany. So i got a Bosch UEZ 2000 LSN. It good enough.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Right on 👍

@@chaoszombie9995 Yeah. But i have a different system now. The one i bought got destroyed in shipping, so i said f it and just bought a better one lol

[@CGray1234]

Yooo the new camera looks awesome! I've got the Sony a7III, and making the switch to full-frame was totally worth it. The image out of yours looks incredible, but I'd suggest not doing any digital stabilization/tracking as it looks a bit weird. The camera should have built-in image stabilization, I suggest using that. Other than that, it looks amazing!

[@nics-systems-electric]

Built in stabilization isn't enough alone not nearly as good as iPhone unfortunately. Not sure if it didn't render properly on all clips as I know there was an error but I had to force it anyway. I didn't have time to review the whole edited footage only took a look at the first part with stabilization applied and it looked fine.

[@Aliwff]

Fire alarm expansion wonderful

[@nekolivegaming]

9:49, the thing i find interesting is that, in the case of a plastic box, granted this is more 230v not 24v but in the case of a plastic box that box is not able to transmit current, which means technically grounding the box would be useless. now idk how these boxes are designed as far as screw inserts if they are bonded to the ground screw, and as far as ground fault in an SLC loop I can see why it would be ideal. (there again most of our connection boxes here in Europe / Norway is plastic and as far as electrical we would feed it to the socket / device connected itself, althou metal light fittings etc on the other hand is required to be bonded and on an RCD)

[@nics-systems-electric]

The bonding screw in plastic boxes is threaded into a metal strap which the device screws make contact with therefore bonding any metal devices

[@nekolivegaming]

Will add it next time I reprint the list

Why did you not use that smoke pen to make the alarm go off?

[@SodiumInduction-hv]

Nice

[@Aero-ko5ex]

Have you ever tried alarm detector bases?

[@ZT_1234]

How expensive was this entire system?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Around $3600 Canadian not considering wire and boxes and the panel itself there are also some other things not considered

[@achannelwithnopurpose1977]

You sure that detector is listed to be mounted diagonally like that?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Why wouldn't it? They can be installed horizontal and vertical and on sloped ceilings what's the difference?

[@zachlecave3906]

You should add a heat detector in the garage's attic (if possible)

[@nics-systems-electric]

There is essentially three 68°C heat detectors up there in the form of sprinkler heads

[@FireAlarm.Dude2011]

Ayyy it’s twenty three 33! Less goo.. So it’s that one dude who’s always commenting about wiring pull stations and being traumatized by a fire alarm and stuff. Kingsley kyleen person- Anyway. This is a pretty cool video. Never even knew that area existed.! Have you ever gotten electrocuted by going wiring?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Not electrocuted I would be dead. Being electrocuted is being killed by electricity. Shocked is different though I have been shocked many times.

[@FireAlarm.Dude2011]

@@nics-systems-electricahh okay, my bad. Thanks for the correction. Did you learn all this by yourself? Or through KZbin or a person?

@@FireAlarm.Dude2011 fire alarm and electrical was different. Electrical was learned through work and myself as well as KZbin. However Fire pretty much just working and myself very little out there on KZbin.

[@apctech1]

if you get shocked most of the time you live if you get truly electrocuted you die from it

[@calebmorand4604]

Great video! I installed a wired home security and fire alarm system in my house. I have an outbuilding that I would like to run a smoke detector to. Will running the wire in conduit underground from the main house to the outbuilding create a bigger hazard for a nearby lightning strike to damage my wired system? Will this underground conduit/wire run pick up more stray voltage or a difference in potential voltage from a lightning strike? Thanks!

[@nics-systems-electric]

Wouldn't worried about it. chances are things are going to be destroyed if lightning hits that close regardless

[@alrmfire1]

9:42 My Dad is an Electrician and he has done MANY Fire alarm installs, You do not have to bond / ground Fire Alarm in U.S.

[@nics-systems-electric]

That seems pretty ridiculous what stops your equipment from being energized unintentionally and how do you get ground fault recognition

[@alrmfire1]

@@nics-systems-electric I Dont know, lol I Dont agree with them not being grounded

[@gamerboy12970]

Can you do a power outage in your house and test the systems or if you can’t can you to it in your garage without your generator please.

[@whelen_vortex]

Put in a smoke exhaust fan in your house in honor of the high school's smoke control system

[@nics-systems-electric]

Unfortunately it would be more dangerous in a house than good. It's a non-sprinklered building unlike the high school and made of combustible construction. The house would not benefit from the smoke control system for atrium walkways open stairwell evacuation.

[@whelen_vortex]

Well I guess its only useful when you have a open basement stairwell and a high ceiling with a balcony

Which panel do you think better the garage one or the house one?

The house system is definitely a more capable panel but for hobbyists and collectors I think the 9200 is an easier panel to work on

Nick, I live in New York usa and I have seen fire alarm systems grounded, and I’ve seen some fire. Alarm systems are not grounded. I googled and New York State doesn’t require a fire alarm system to be grounded
