Installing a fire alarm pull station on my home fire alarm system

[@AJP1O9]

I have learned so much from watching nic. Before I started watching I used to think that the notification devices detected the smoke but then I learned that you have to a smoke detector hooked up to the system.

[@tristanajohnson6925]

Great video. Those pull stations remind me of Radionics pull stations every time.

[@mikeross880]

Honestly I like the look of these pull stations best as they use that classic T-bar styling like Simplex plus they’re metal so they’d last forever. Now if only Honeywell could get the rear setup exactly like the NBG12s I bet they’d be far more popularly used for sure.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes I like them to but the back side is indeed a terrible design not sure how someone came up with that lol

[@That_2_guy2T]

Yeah i can see how those pull stations can be a pain, but as a collector they are one of my favorite pull stations. Nice video!!

[@Siren_StrObE]

Nic just found out that my high school is getting its system replaced. The old system was Sherlock mt horns strobes with notifier bg 10s and is now a system with notifier bg12lxs and system sensor speaker strobes with a notifier panel. It also has a custom-led map of the school that shows the zones. I believe the school was broken up into seven zones. Interestingly, they are doing an entire voice evac system.

[@HenBasketFireAlarms]

I do like those RSG pull stations. Only thing I dislike is that Honeywell didn’t order them with key reset, but instead the regular hex reset

[@nics-systems-electric]

I hate trying to set the address on them and where the resistor is placed

[@CGray1234]

@@nics-systems-electric genuinely who thought placing the address module like that was a good idea? Probably could've flipped it or something

[@HenBasketFireAlarms]

@@nics-systems-electricthat is a pain too. Hochiki did better with making the module a lot less bulky, but then again those aren’t hard addressed like Honeywell modules are.

[@All_ConsumingBandu]

There's something I need to tell you. I was walking to my next class and someone pulled the fire alarm in my high school. If you want to know my high school system, they're fire bells, and I find those easier on the ears and that's why I like fire bells more, and don't care how much current draw they are.

I love pull station installs I have that my house mock system of my school

[@SodiumInduction-hv]

nice!! keep making these awesome videos

[@skiffi7488]

i always whatch your vids love em

[@EASsirenVids01]

If you wanna erase the old address you can use any hand sanitizer with alcohol in it, or you could just use isopropyl alcohol itself but the hand sanitizer is a bit easier because it stays in place.

[@CGray1234]

I’ve tried doing that before but if the marker is really old, it won’t work that well. Paint thinner works better if it’s older but it really depends on how old the mark is.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yeah hand sanitizer is good for a lot of things but I've not had good success with marker.

YEAH I love these pull station installations

[@SomeGuyWithInternet]

I just noticed that the text on the MPS is off-center and I can't unsee that. I still love the pull station's exterior design-looks very nice and the dual action covers are very helpful too. You aren't going to accidentally pull one of those, and you won't need a stopper either. As for questions, though: would you some day be able to do a demo of the security part of the 320? I've only seen one video on it and that video never explained its purpose or anything else about it. I'm guessing it requires Verifire tools, but I'll have my fingers crossed that it doesn't... Also, I get that this system is only meant to be a life safety system so if you're not willing to do that, no complaints here.

[@nics-systems-electric]

The security function is not what a lot of people think. There seems to be a misconception that it's to be connected to a security system however that's not the case. It's meant to be a function where if you have annunciator cabinets or fire hose cabinets or any similar fire equipment in some sort of enclosure it can have a door contact/tamper switch on it to create a security trouble basically.

[@SomeGuyWithInternet]

@@nics-systems-electric I had been wondering if that was the case (security of the FA system itself or something else). It sounds like a useful feature but it's one that you'd rarely see in action on a real system since people seldom tamper with that equipment. Pretty much never on a demo system because people don't have a need for it and probably don't know what it's for, either. Thank you for clearing that up, it's interesting to know!

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@SomeGuyWithInternet yeah I've never seen it used personally

[@keithpierce8458]

That’s a cool pull station installed

[@lightsfansmore6619]

You should make an intercom system in your house so you can alert the people in the house that you are doing a fire alarm test.

[@nics-systems-electric]

If somebody wanted to give give me one then maybe but otherwise those systems are thousands of dollars

[@cutechrissyvrc]

Hey Nic, when your home fire alarm system is completely finished. (When you run out of ideas on it), can you just mash up the videos on the whole build as one video? Including connecting it to the garage fire alarm system.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Could possibly do that would be pretty long video

[@cutechrissyvrc]

@@nics-systems-electric true but we could see the entire build from start to finish in one video. Also, maybe can you include Hayden or the guests in last video in a school fire alarm test?

[@Starlight_Emergency_Light]

You should put a emergency Light in the Furnaces room. Incase you need to get to the Fire Alarm panel during a power outage because i saw the last video it went out is was pretty dark in there.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Maybe one day

[@WNYEAS]

On Conventional Panels like the SFP10UD, you can actually disable the zone.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes you can

[@WNYEAS]

@@nics-systems-electric Where did you get the multi Driver?

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@WNYEAS You can get them lots of places I probably got it from Amazon or Home Depot of one of the electrical wholesalers or a tool store.

[@SPCAlbanycounty536]

Nic when you were mounting the box to the wall I was wondering where you can buy that drillbit

[@michaelloving8004]

just watched your blue strobe video in future expansion will you add a blue remote strobe for the house near the annunciator or closer to the panel ?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Not at the panel that is not how they are used. Probably not on the house as it's a residential single family home which the fire department wouldn't be looking for.

[@jakobharris2719]

Hopefully you start your next monthly fire alarm test with the new pull station.

[@wibwabz]

So do you still have the microphone system set up? (The one in your garage that goes through the fire alarms) you said that its on your bike now as a siren but i dont think we were talking about the same thing.

[@nics-systems-electric]

There is nothing and never has been anything that goes through the fire alarms it's not a voice evacuation system

[@wibwabz]

@@nics-systems-electric in a durability test video, you started the video by talking through it. in another durability testing video, you said through it "SHUT UP MOM!" when she was calling you and your friend said "she is probably calling telling us to shut up.". how does this system work? i thought it went through the outside fire alarms.

[@IanGSully]

Another good reason to have a pull station in that room is lets say you or someone else was working on the furnace and something went very wrong and it resulted in a fire

[@Fire-Lite457]

I would’ve used a flathead precision screwdriver to set the address on that pull station.

[@nics-systems-electric]

I used a very small screwdriver you can't use one too small or it will slip in the rotary dial

[@brandonkonicki2177]

You should wire the security system to the panel since it has that function

The function of that is meant for annunciators fire hose cabinets and other fire related cabinets that can have a tamper switch. Not for a security system which I do not have in the house.

That whole system is a complete over kill for a home. You would have to add 20 more stories to that home before you came even came close to using that panels capacity. Remote annunciator, manual pull stations, 12ga. Cable for initiating devices😮 Stay in your lane there harry home owner.😂😂

[@nics-systems-electric]

No need to be negative. I can install whatever I want in the house whether the panel is large or small. I don't use 12 gauge for initiating devices. This system is not just for protection but also for educational reasons as well as content for my KZbin channel which if you commented on this video it was successful at that. Your math is incorrect you could not add 20 more stories with the same configuration as what is seen here.
