Adding a fire alarm pull station to my lookout tower

[@Fallenrespect32Gaming]

Just a tip, I would remove the silicone on the bottom of the pull, keeping it like that will allow the water to build up in there, if you open that up it will allow the water (if any gets inside) to drain, or even if you remove a little section of the silicone on the bottom. Just an idea, thought i'd share.

[@nics-systems-electric]

The silicone ended up washing away anyways because it was raining LOL

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@NewEnglandAviaton987 yes, however this part is actually unchanged

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@NewEnglandAviaton987 yes if you were to watch my annual video you could see that for the last few years nothing has changed it's conventional it doesn't have to be Honeywell

[@Flanks719]

It looks like a real system, nice job

[@sebastiansanchis8795]

you may want to leave an opening on the bottom of the pull station instead of caulking it, so that the water can run off. clear silicone is stronger than white or black.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Don’t worry the silicone never dried anyways lol

[@RyansColoradoRailProductions]

You could have gotten a Simplex 2099-9138 or equivalent rebrand because they're weatherproof

[@iluvsooubway8008]

What do your neighbors think about all the noise from your fire alarms?

[@nics-systems-electric]

They don’t care we live by a school so there’s lots that’s way worse

[@TexasRailfan2008]

So, are there 24 volts going through the pull station circuits or is it less?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes 24v

Yo that’s sick if u ever move to a different house in the city ima miss the shed n stuff

[@Flanks719]

When wiring up pull stations on panels. Do they need End of line resistors or only the N/A's do

[@nics-systems-electric]

If it's conventional than the zone needs an EOLR

[@FourtyFiftyEighty]

Yo I think I commented about this a long time ago. Cool to see that you did it! Any plans on putting a strobe up too?

[@nics-systems-electric]

No should’ve ran a four conductor probably

[@FloridaRailfanKid803]

Great Video Nick

[@KanoaDeCastro]

I believe an STI Stopper would do fairly well for concerns of water causing issues.

[@mrexitsign2024]

You could put a pull station stopper over the est edwards

[@nics-systems-electric]

If I needed it to last then for sure

[@blossomutonium8985]

That is not up to code, the pull station will be stuck closed if you use that glue, if the glue gets on one of the wires, a zone fault will be shown on the fire alarm control panel.

[@zacharyb9418]

He knows that.he did this for fun also he made sure that the silicone will not make the pull station get stuck

[@nics-systems-electric]

That’s not glue it’s silicone and it won’t keep it shut

[@Aaronproductions]

Of course it’s not up to code, it’s a low voltage system and he did it just for fun. no water will ingress since 1) it’s sealed with silicone and 2) the end was pitched downwards. also, it’s not conductive.

[@FireAlarm33]

Does the Pull Station still work? Nice video!

Haven’t tested it in a couple weeks as far as I know it’s still OK

How are you doing nic

[@relevanteaglealarms109]

Add a fire alarm stopper.

[@nics-systems-electric]

That’s a good idea but it wouldn’t really help because the stopper would be too tall for the railing and water could just come in behind the stopper but it would still probably help

[@relevanteaglealarms109]
