Home Smoke Detector Testing - 11/14/18

[@Alwaysdoinit112]

That is an interesting setup you have. At my house the basement, kitchen area, upstairs hallway, and master bedroom have those Kidde smoke alarms (that's 4) but my bedroom and guest bedroom only have Gentex GX-93 remote horns. That's because those rooms are small enough that a smoke alarm wasn't needed (2010) but an audible signaling device was still a requirement. Everything is interconnected just like with yours, and yes the horns are too and they are very loud.

[@WhelenWPS3000]

The Test button: “am I a joke to you?” (But I’m all seriousness pretty cool seeing the smoke Sabre just whip out like that.)

[@Alwaysdoinit112]

It was a speed test to see how well they would actually react with smoke, but they will always sound if they are receving AC power.

[@HSETM]

The test button only tests the alarm circuitry and not the sensors, that's why I test mine with incense smoke.

[@dragonicankh]

The red solid means it was previously activated and is on silent mode. it will go off again if theres still smoke in its chamber

[@elevatorswithESH]

This just shows how much FireX i4618’s can age. I have these in my house and two of them the sensors failed and the one in my room was one of them and the interconnecting didn’t work either. Also that red light staying on like that means that either it previously detected smoke and it can also mean somebody pressed the test button. But the ones that the sensors worked went off pretty fast when I sprayed them with smoke

[@elevatorswithESH]

@random-tech-productionsThose and i12060A’s tend to have that really fast code three pulse. One of my BRK 4120B’s in my collection has that too

[@kaifox8668]

PI9010 was the dual sensor ones and the smoke and co one is a Kidde KN-COPE-IC

[@carmenrodriguez755]

And the solid red alarm is a Kidde i4618ac

[@linnysprojects]

It wasn’t a PI 9010 it was a PI 2010

[@Photoelectric_Elevators]

3:23 to 4:46 Exactly why I absolutely DO NOT recommend i4618AC’s. Also 8:30 That indicates that the alarm is in hush mode. These FireX units can be weird. Most homeowners don’t realize this.

[@Jdss22]

Yes might as well buy an i12040 or i12060. Heck even an i12080. But the rest of the alarms were god choices

[@Alwaysdoinit112]

I realize this. I'm using i12010SCOs as replacements because I've had very good luck with them (unlike the very similar P3010 series)

[@Alwaysdoinit112]

​@@Jdss22i12080s are great for people hard of hearing. The light can alert a deaf person of the fire.

[@joeyraupp4290]

10:30 that means it is in "hush" mode. Just press the button quickly to stop it. Edit: it does that because it knows it isn't a fire. idk how it knows.

[@vichetmeng2015]

Got no idea but I'm somehow super scared or shocked when my smoke detectors goes off

[@AA-777-]

same

[@bjlarman3]

I love smoke alarms

[@jeremyboyd3607]

They are to keep you safe

[@Alexander02168]

I do love smoke alarms but mine goes off at midnight like 4:30

[@forkidzbykidz2024]

I think the blinking light means that it has detected smoke and when it blinks, it tells you that that individual alarm detected smoke

[@carmenrodriguez755]

the kidde i4618ac is in hush mode my kidde i12040a does that too

[@Alarmo05221]

It blinks solid because it is telling you it tripped an alarm

[@Alarmo05221]

@A-200OnYt it means that, though it also means it was recently active because hush mode has a timer

[@Alarmo05221]

@A-200OnYt it’s fine. I don’t toy with smoke alarms but I do know simple stuff about them

[@MisterBrownJack]

8:04 that's how you say it

[@ContresOfficial]

926 it means smoke was previously detected

[@ayansiddiqui1394]

I rmbr my little brother 5 yrs ago he was scared of the smoke alarm going to go off

[@channelinactive2053]

i wonder what weird stuff causes the green hardwire indication light on the firex i4618 to be on the top?

[@vitaltech5048]

That’s how it’s made

[@michellebertrand7702]

9:26 that means it is in hush mode

[@edinkulasic8390]

😅😅😅😅no where are they going on a date

[@Liftmaster-sw2zy]

the long red flash on the alarm you were talking about, that means it was in hush mode

[@channelinactive2053]

Liftmaster1280 It always happens at my aunties because she’s bad at cooking and the detector is 6 feet away

[@transitbusfan869]

I have one of those

[@Garvey-Ave]

2:33 there’s a hush button

[@squdineycarolsims4825]

I was in my kitchen I thought my smoke alarms were going off
