September testing (Night time) Fire alarm, emergency lighting, back up generator, UPS's

[@UKsystems]

I think the low volume is better as it should prevent hearing loss in a small space, great video it was really well put together. it is interesting to see it tin the dark.

[@SodiumInduction-hv]

Wow, keep up the great work Nic!

[@theromanarmy7488]

I genuinely wish that this guy had more subscribers. I had been watching this guy for 2 years, and I love it. It's the perfect combination of educational and just fun. He knows what he's doing but is still in high school. He's a kid who loves what he's doing, and I love that. I'm 18 and in collage, and I wish I could do the same stuff he does. I know this sounds cringy, but I want him to see that he deserves more credit than he's got. keep it going and have fun.

Nice i have the same Onkyo stereo.. great video boss!! Cant wait for your house setup!!

[@Gav376]

I can’t wait till everything goes off with the house to

[@ZachLayman1320]

Just a recommendation, I would put the horn strobe in the small shed area, on the outside. It would be much more useful outside then inside.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Useful for what on the outside?

[@petra7306]

Fuck

[@elevatingaroundtown]

Your dog is hilarious. She dropping the log down the stairs and you zooming in on her with a dramatic silence stare was funny

[@Time_For_Safety]

Very cool!

[@MisterBroadnax]

The nighttime effect is f-ing epic

[@leafmk]

Next system test make the coding or the fire alarms Halloween themed and maybe do system test on Halloween also do system test on the house. It's a great idea!

[@Dilsonalarmsandelectrics]

For October testing can we do the common space pull with my own KZbin channel I tell my viewers, the same thing when I do monthly testing with my fire alarm system at my house

[@micahpeterson4240]

You should try doing a full fire alarm system test during a simulated power outage

[@nics-systems-electric]

I have done tests on battery backup before however the system is realistically only ever on battery backup for around 20 seconds before the generator starts and then it's no different than running on utility power

[@GaryBeltz]

The LED strobes are actually brighter than the ones on the horn strobes I say if those L-Series go get LED versions to replace them.

[@nics-systems-electric]

They might look like it but definitely not brighter just shows up on camera brighter as they have a longer flash duration which is part of the recall problem I think I will be sticking to xenon strobes the LED ones are the ugliest thing I've ever seen lol

[@marksmith-ew7ir]

Hi nick Leave the sirens at new settings, if there is a fire you know through your text's. Nice testing today. All you need for projector is a flat service as bumps can show up on high colour's well done. Put the spare ups on the house fire alarm as a backup to help prolong battery in firepanel. Have you seen here in UK we have switched plug sockets that will can switched to each one, which you can switch off without pulling plugs in tight spaces.

[@nics-systems-electric]

I have seen that with your receptacles

[@harrymcgill6291]

In my old school at night if the fire alarm went off it would turn all the lights on in the building to light way for evacuation that would be cool if you did something like that.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Easy to integrate if you have lighting control systems however I don't

[@mewing-gawd]

Put all of the strobes to their highest candela setting in the next monthly system test

[@nics-systems-electric]

Maybe could do that

[@petra7306]

Do the co detektor

[@KidderVerse]

Im pretty new to the channel and was wondering how do you have the generator wired for emergency start

[@nics-systems-electric]

I have videos on installing it recently

[@21volts_gaming_official]

Do you plan on disabling the audible silence for legal reasons? Also for next alarm i think 270SPO in shed or tower. Doing great!

[@nics-systems-electric]

Mayb. it isn't legally required in my case as it isn't a CAN/ULC s537 verified system so it doesn't have to be perfectly legal however if I wanted to keep it as legal as possible other than that it would be recommended to turn it off

[@IanGSully]

Hey, do you have an install video on your new projector? Just curious.

[@nics-systems-electric]

I do not

[@onefastslimjim]

LETS GO BOIS 🗣️🗣️💯💯

[@IanGSully]

Hey Nic, I do want to say that the camera picks up the strobes 10x better at night then in the daytime, and the horn strobe in the main building, I think maybe it should be set to Medium volume, so it maybe a little louder in the small rooms but it won't be absolutely painful in the main area where the horn is blasting at, however, I am not sure if that device in particular has that setting, I think it does but correct me if I am wrong, because I know the SpectrAlert Advances have that setting for sure.

[@SodiumInduction-hv]

L series has low and high only

[@IanGSully]

@@SodiumInduction-hv Oh okay, thank you!

[@rayarsenault4774]

16:35 all of the generators I test have a 120-180 sec utility return delay, and a 300 sec cooldown delay.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Those are probably commercially produced generators it's not possible for me to have a separate utility return and cool down delay my only thing I can do is have the transfer switch default to utility to return to utility as soon as power is present and then the generator can run for another set period of time

[@rayarsenault4774]

@@nics-systems-electric many automatic home transfer switches, along with most home backup generators will usually keep the generator running for 120-180 seconds after utility return, then unload them, and keep them running for 2-3 mins for cooldown.

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@rayarsenault4774 I am aware but it's not possible with my set up

[@harrymcgill6291]

Question when you have your system set up in the house would you connect them together?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Maybe for supervisory eventually but not full alarm

[@cameronbyrne7970]

Nope I'm not going to spend all of my own money on something for everyone

i know i shouldn't assume but can i safely assume that you wont include your house in these tests to not disturb your family?

[@nics-systems-electric]

I'm sure it would be easy to find some point during the month when no one is home

[@TrafficSig250]

I have always thought you should pull all the pull stations and set off the smoke/heat detectors and see what all the errors would be😂

[@nics-systems-electric]

Wouldn't cause any errors would just show all three alarms

[@sheagoff6009]

What do your neighbors think of all the lights and alarms?

Can you please install an annunciator and a pull station and carbon monoxide siren detector and carbon monoxide strobe in the shed please and can also install more carbon monoxide siren and detectors in the garage plase.

How about you give him some money to do that?
