Testing Both My Fire Alarm Systems And Back-up Generator/Emergency Lighting | October Testing

[@FireAlarm.Dude2011]

Letsss goooo!! It’s even my testing day for my grandparents apartment building, got 1 hour exactly (12:30pm) to go.. great job man 👍. Can’t wait to watch this

[@pythongaming7526]

the sidequest goes crazy and that high-vis vest absolutely got me lmao

The spider web was hysterical! Put the damn switch in already! 🤣 Give Jackson a treat and a head scratch for me. 🐶

[@peterfairlie2296]

Bagpipe guy is just trying to annoy you because of all the Fire Alarm buzzing you do disturbing him LOL!

[@sawyerquinnclocks8596]

Here is what you could do for next month. For the house system you could do the laundry room smoke detector. And the garage system you can do the common space pull station.

[@MisterBroadnax]

Jackson sounded like he was trying to bark in temporal for a minute there

[@FI-TECH-250]

Nice! Just chilling at a military meeting rn, and this was a relief if all the boredom. THANK YOU!

[@VenomBlazer]

you should install co detectors in the shed under the deck because of all the flammable materials in there that may cause carbon monoxide and you should install one near the fireplace because it is basically fire and is also a co hazard

[@nics-systems-electric]

The shed is unheated and the fireplace is not used.

[@SILASTHEFURORRIGINAL]

Pretty neat nick! You should add to the system a reset pull station that resets the system on a fire alarm

[@mrtech2026]

Having that fire alarm system is going to make the value of the house be insane if you sell the house someday!

At some point I’d love to see simplex speaker strobes make an appearance in this channel. Love the system regardless

[@nics-systems-electric]

The only Symplex I would get would be their more simple systems. Have had bad experience with their systems.

[@KPfireSAFETY]

@@nics-systems-electric Interesting. I don’t know how simplex works all the way yet, cause I’m still learning but I’ve heard it’s just a really difficult process to set them up lol

[@achannelwithnopurpose1977]

Simplex really becomes an issue when something like programming comes around where you need an external resource like software to change something like configuration. That’s because simplex is very proprietary. You need to be a simplex tech to access official documentation, programming software and software licenses.

[@safetyzone2962]

@@achannelwithnopurpose1977 That's mainly for their newer stuff. The 4008, 4006 and 4010 can be programmed without software. I think the 4010 also has support for addressable alarms if you use the right 4009 NAC extender iirc.

[@michaeljavert4635]

Awe, CUTE DOG in the yard there, supervising you. Both actually (As the video progresses.) Your dog isn't stupid. You're making him nervous maybe. I think dogs know when their time is ending. A few days before my dog would die, he crawled up in my lap as if to hug me. I held onto him, but I didn't know he would be gone in a few days. I did know he was sick and was planning someone to come here to dispatch him, but I didn't get that far. I suspected the cancer all along. The vet kept telling me no, and on his last night of being alive, that emergency veterinarian said yes. 3 out of 6 dogs I had got the cancer :( No more for me until I get as far away from Coldwater Creek as possible, but I think the cancer already caught me too. The bag pipe guy is wearing high vis so someone doesn't take a shot at him. And with pipes sticking up, they could be mistaken for antlers. But a moose isn't going to be wearing a vest.

[@masonlayne1578]

You should do the generator building heat detector for the garage for the house. You should do pull station beside the fire alarm panel.

[@an_official_scratcher_alt]

I wanna see this be done: Intro: a plane passing by 1st activation point: Sprinkler Flow (Garage) 2nd activation point: Smoke In FACP Room (House)

[@ATK_J.Y.S_I.N.D_Offical]

Awesome test! 😊

[@Aero-ko5ex]

Ah yes aviation and fire alarms what if you combine them?

[@wibwabz]

IDEA: maybe for the next test, you do a power outage in the house and put the fog machine in a closet and run it until the alarm is activated. so its a no power smoke in unideal location (like a closet) simulation. i guess you could also do this in the garage.

[@ArmedBread]

you should install an announcator next to the backdoor in the laundry room

[@cutepaws3859]

Just an idea, you should test the carbon monoxide detectors first with an co2 can

[@techadka]

Nice video! Also next month, can you test the generator emergency shutdown?

[@nics-systems-electric]

No I won't be testing it monthly as I explained in my video where I installed the original shut down relay and programming. It will be something I test once a year.

High pitched “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” when alarms are tripped

Yes it will go into trouble until it's done initializing as the system isn't actually operable during that process

@@WhelenWPS3000 two wire is ideal

[@WhelenWPS3000]

@@nics-systems-electric yeah I sorta agree. But like an enthusiast like me with no actual panel and a homemade one I like using audible silence and using 4 wire devices but I can’t help to agree. 2 wire are much easier to wire and take less time I’d say.
