can't u also put a pull station into fire drill mode to test it as well?

+LTCWM1 These smoke detectors have relays that are connected to the elevator controls.

something I haven't learned about, I'll have to look at it, cause that's something I haven't learned.

pull stations should not recall elevators, only devices (smokes/heats) associated with the elevator, elevator lobbies, machine rooms, hoistway etc...some jurisdictions require waterflow to recall elevators as well

Nice video, gents. Be careful with the "bucket tester" as shown in the video (Solo 330?). While it will conserve aerosol smoke during required smoke entry testing, it will not allow the natural air movements of the building to influence the smoke migration. So, if there is a potential environmental issue with smoke being directed away from the detector, the "bucket" will shield the ambient airflow, preventing the inspector from being alerted to a potential concern with detector placement.
