Setting Off Fire Alarm System HVAC Duct Detector With Smoke Machine Into Air Duct!

[@fire-and-alarm1]

nice vid Nic maybe next time fill the whole house with smoke from the room that has no smoke detectors or a room that you think might take longest and see how long it takes

[@Neptunesalad12]

Just watched the security video and then get that notification for this video . Great videos nick

[@ClearlyDigital]

@@All_ConsumingBandumine didn’t either. I read books, tried things at home, and mostly taught myself. As I got older, I met electricians and HVAC guys and asked them questions and learned more. Now I work in a career where I use all of that knowledge.

[@alarmtechmaster]

thank you nic for existing and teaching us about fire alarms!

[@sirensofsoutheasternlouisiana]

Awesome! Nice to see another test!

[@Fredengle]

you will be happy to know I just linked your video to my fb page !!! I dont know if I said it before I wanted to major in fire protection engineering but had trouble taking classess you seem to be doing all the things I would have wanted to accomplish !!!! and you seem like you are good at handling stressful situations I dont think I could do some of the things you do !!! please keep up the videos you do seem to be one of the few people who takes the time to explain how things works many building seem to have systems like this throughout the world but I think few actually understand how they work when you explain it people get greater appreciation of how the system work please keep up the videos !!!

[@Fredengle]

and of course I asked people to subcrbe if they like your videos !!!!

Great functional test of the duct detector!

I was fortunate to be able to start getting working experience and apprenticeship hours early it's definitely something you can do in high school but is more difficult

@@nics-systems-electric what does the slc isolatior do?

[@CEO_von_L_und_M_3D]

@@Lolzkey When there`s a short in the SLC, it detects it and isolates the sircuit from the panel, so it doesent kill the whole panel.

Thats smart

[@mommyelizabeth9316]

if you have enough money you can add auto duct doors to prevent smoke moving itself

[@nics-systems-electric]

Do you mean a damper? Not something that's typically done in a long duct run

[@pandaspelar7377]

yea great channel

[@Clip_It1]

hey nic, was just wondering if your fire alarm system has ever been set off for a real reason such as an actual fire you did not know about until the alarm wet off

[@nics-systems-electric]

No, there has been smoke from cooking. That is all.

[@Steven-systems-and-electric]

Good video

[@Fredengle]

Hi Nick wanted to ask you your opinion on something I found a fire protection engineer he stated based on hi resarcher he suggested co alarms as as addtional fire sensor in a smoldering fire scenario I know the manf will not state to use in such a fashion but I did seem to find 2 cases where Ithe I stated that a was able to provide an alarm during a smoldering fire any thoughts?

[@Fredengle]

Please pardon typos

[@westernwagal9493]

What is that port in your hallway next to the outlet where the fog machine was plugged in

[@nics-systems-electric]

One of the Vacuum system connections

[@wibwabz]

- this is a stupid question that i haven't been able to find an answer to: i have a 60 watt led moving head dj spot light. i am always worried that if it shines light directly at a fire sprinkler head, it might set it off. but if i put my hand in front of the light, the light on my hand is only slightly warm. so there is not really a possibility of it being hot enough to pop a sprinkler, right?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Depends on the distance if it's within a couple feet probably not good but if it keeps moving around I doubt it would have a problem

[@wibwabz]

@@nics-systems-electric so if the light is on the floor with 9 foot ceilings, it's likely not a problem?

[@nics-systems-electric]

@@wibwabz unless it's getting the sprinkler head over 68° most likely it's not going to be a problem

[@wibwabz]

@@nics-systems-electric cool, thanks!

What video editing software do you use

We had multiple power loss lately quickly surges of power. I was at the front of my school when one happened and i could hear the horn on the annunciator. Our school is from the 1970s and it has an old simplex system with mechanical horns. I watched the emergency lights turn off then the panel went into trouble. Probably AC fault or something.

[@Fredengle]

If I misseD it doesn't the duct alarm shut off the hvac system which should prevent smoke from spread ing ? Does that sound right?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yup

[@Hani-Vr]

How long did it take you to install the whole system I watched your video when you installed it

[@nics-systems-electric]

It was spread out throughout a couple weeks and later additions done after the fact, as I was doing it around my schedule of working, but if it was all condensed into one timeline probably a week or two

[@Hani-Vr]

You must be a pro. I thought way longer.

[@mutedelevators785]

is the heat pump condensor unit on the roof? btw nice video

[@nics-systems-electric]

No, it's beside the house.

Duct deteter of smoke!!!!!

[@Fredengle]

any way did you have any thoughts on my previous comment in case you did not see it I said a fire protection engineer stated he recommended co alarms in addtion to photo elecric alarms the manf does not say to use it that way but that what he suggested in case you are unclear the title of his report was experimental use of co alarmd for detection of smoldering fires any ideas? he suggested co alarm in the same places as photo electric alarms Any ideas ? All I can say is I did find 2 cases where it seemed a co alarm did provide a warning of a smoldering fire !!! ( but I guess the true answer is its one of those things it might work if your lucky ??? So the idea I came up with in my home was put a combined photo electric co alarm which one will alert first in a fire well all I can say is a manf stated that in a combined alarm its an international standard that smoke takes priority over co could co provide an early alarm I don't think we can be 100 % certain it seems it does provide alarm sometimes but certainaly that manf will not say to use it that way but its my thinking it cant hurt to have an extra alarm ?) anyway ideas please thank you!!!

[@nics-systems-electric]

I don't have any experience with that so I'm not sure but I'm sure some gases can be released from fires creating carbon monoxide

[@Fredengle]

Ps this seem to be an advanced concept hink I am going to add it to my Fb page!

[@techguyft]

Nice video! Btw, HVAC is spelled HAVC on the system.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yup

[@JayPlayz152]

Whats a spot detector?

[@nics-systems-electric]

A detector mounted in a specific spot in a room or hallway or area

[@LOL1234_6]

One thing that I noticed about the display, it said “HAVC DUCT” instead of “HVAC DUCT”

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yep it's fixed

[@cyberlight22]

They were working on our fire alarm sprinklers and didn't bypass the flow sensor so we had a false alarm. Our system is a notifier.
