Testing Both My Fire Alarm Systems, Emergency Lighting And Backup Generator And UPS's | May testing

[@KadenStenka]

Next system test I think for the Garage system do the sprinkler overflow. And the house system do the pull station by the panel.

Cool video as always! I really love the layout of the beginning of the video.

[@ResetTheFireAlarm]

Great video, as always. I just have an idea/suggestion for an addition to the house fire alarm system; a strobe in the bathroom. Just a thought I had.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Well there is 3 bathrooms and I had bought some months ago however it's not possible for them to all be installed due to the location so if it's not possible for all of them I won't do any of them

[@chrisgamecave]

You should expand the 9200 in the garage building to protect the little wood building partially visible at 2:27.

[@sirensofsoutheasternlouisiana]

Nice to see a new video! Good job!

[@jkashs8297]

Next test. For the garage the pull station at the top of the tower. In the house, the pull station by the panel

[@Harper_DobniYT]

For June testing can you do the pull station under the deck for the house and the pull station by the bathroom for the garage?

[@IanGSully]

In the Garage I'd say do the smokie by your projector. As for the house maybe one of the heat detectors in the attic or the pull station by the panel. Also, what would be pretty cool is if you had a monitor module that would put the garage panel into supervisory when the generator is running. I guess one way that would work is taking a relay with a 120-volt coil and when the 120 volts from the generator energizes the relay coil, it would close the relay, tripping the module.

[@TechnologyUnhinged]

In all this is really awesome!

[@lutinogamesofficial4347]

Watching this one day after my 15th birthday. Still the best content as always! My suggestions for june testing: for the garage: One of the smokes in the main garage room for the house: The heat in the Garage Keep up the good work!

[@michaelclark2022]

Instead of pulling the fuse, does the detached garage have a breaker switch you can flip? Up until you put in the toggle switch...

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes but it's in the house

[@benrodriguez4905]

For the next test do the lower outside ahead for the house pull

[@washingmachinelad356]

Nice video Nic! I think you should install running man exit signs to your house building that don't have them for going outside

[@nics-systems-electric]

I talked about that in my video of installing the one in my bedroom. I cannot install them in the house due to the aesthetics of bright green exit signs do not look good in a residential setting.

[@Eric_Rosen]

what if for a generator test switch you cut in a box next to transfer switch to put it and run wire into transfer switch? maybe a key switch

[@nics-systems-electric]

It's still the same problem of having to drill a hole into the side of the transfer switch which is difficult when it's inside the wall and it's a total pain in the ass to try and take it out if I could get some sort of really short 90° drillbit that might be my only option

[@nickguzman2865]

[@GamerB_YT]

Is your house system monitored by a company like a commercial building?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Self monitored

[@ComputersandOtherStuff]

Do you have to do monthly testing at the schools too? Or is it just something you do?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes every system is supposed to be tested monthly

[@keithpierce8458]

Yes a new video

[@Justarubberduck]

Why don't you have a voice evac system? I think if you were to add it it would make it seem more like a commercial building. I've seen little modules you can add to your panel to make them work and wiring speakers w strobes. I just thought of it because my school has a voice EVAC system

[@nics-systems-electric]

In my entire life in Canada I've only seen half a dozen buildings with Voise evacuation it is not common and definitely not necessary the building is not wired for it and it is extremely expensive and unless you're using custom messages it's pointless in my opinion

[@ComputersandOtherStuff]

20:35 you should add a key switch and put it next to the first door

[@nics-systems-electric]

As I said I intend to install a switch at some point but is difficult to do with it being mounted in the wall

EST systems actually aren’t that bad, but their older systems like the QuickStart and the EST2 were really glitchy and bad

You see lots installed not necessarily because it's a good product. mostly the products that are installed in the building depends on who the contractor works with. if they have deals with certain companies and often times electrical contractors have a go to company for fire alarm that will install one product only. sometimes depending on your actual area they're only is a few options for install. cost a factor if EST is cheap to install
