I’d enjoy seeing you continue to kill the main breaker instead of the 3 emergency light breakers for that test. Seems cool when it’s all dark and just the emergency lights.

[@Flamenmagic]

That would have been my request, appreciate it Nic, love from the states

[@That_2_guy2T]

Cool video as always! I really love the layout of the beginning of the video.

[@ResetTheFireAlarm]

Great video, as always. I just have an idea/suggestion for an addition to the house fire alarm system; a strobe in the bathroom. Just a thought I had.

[@nics-systems-electric]

Well there is 3 bathrooms and I had bought some months ago however it's not possible for them to all be installed due to the location so if it's not possible for all of them I won't do any of them

[@AbandonedTech]

In all this is really awesome!

[@NewEnglandAviaton987]

Next text hit some pulls. The house pull station (main one) and one in thr garage

[@Harper_DobniYT]

For June testing can you do the pull station under the deck for the house and the pull station by the bathroom for the garage?

[@jkashs8297]

Next test. For the garage the pull station at the top of the tower. In the house, the pull station by the panel

[@lutinogamesofficial4347]

Watching this one day after my 15th birthday. Still the best content as always! My suggestions for june testing: for the garage: One of the smokes in the main garage room for the house: The heat in the Garage Keep up the good work!

[@nics-systems-electric]

Thank you happy birthday

[@lutinogamesofficial4347]

@@nics-systems-electric thanks :)

[@michaelclark2022]

Instead of pulling the fuse, does the detached garage have a breaker switch you can flip? Up until you put in the toggle switch...

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes but it's in the house

[@IanGSully]

In the Garage I'd say do the smokie by your projector. As for the house maybe one of the heat detectors in the attic or the pull station by the panel. Also, what would be pretty cool is if you had a monitor module that would put the garage panel into supervisory when the generator is running. I guess one way that would work is taking a relay with a 120-volt coil and when the 120 volts from the generator energizes the relay coil, it would close the relay, tripping the module.

[@pilotboy]

dang you got a nice stereo system? it would be cool to see a video with the projector going as well! i was wearing the headphones and that sub was pumping!

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yeah I should probably do a video on this set up

1:54 What are those cool RGB strips that you use? What brand/model are they and how do they work with your system? Really love the white flash startup sequence of those LEDs! 😊

[@nics-systems-electric]

They have nothing to do with my systems but they are Govee M1 light strips and they are quite good compared to the other products I've used previously

[@geomerdash630]

would you try set your fire alarm systems to continuous in june?

[@nics-systems-electric]

That would require changing the settings on 11 different devices

[@JMWtrainsnstuff]

Whoa!!! "Hue G Rection?!?!?" Lmao nice video as always

[@washingmachinelad356]

Nice video Nic! I think you should install running man exit signs to your house building that don't have them for going outside

[@nics-systems-electric]

I talked about that in my video of installing the one in my bedroom. I cannot install them in the house due to the aesthetics of bright green exit signs do not look good in a residential setting.

[@Williams_elektronik]

Do smoke/heat (i dont rememberd) in the garage in the house. And bathroom in garage

[@Eric_Rosen]

what if for a generator test switch you cut in a box next to transfer switch to put it and run wire into transfer switch? maybe a key switch

[@nics-systems-electric]

It's still the same problem of having to drill a hole into the side of the transfer switch which is difficult when it's inside the wall and it's a total pain in the ass to try and take it out if I could get some sort of really short 90° drillbit that might be my only option

[@t8pguw8ejbwgp9e2]

hi nick whats difference between isolator board I think its called vs a bunch of FDM-1 in a row? when do you use board instead?

[@nics-systems-electric]

FDM-1 is a dual monitor module and is the same form factor as the ISO-X

[@t8pguw8ejbwgp9e2]

​@@nics-systems-electricis there a board that can be used instead of installing say 6 FDM-1? if you need over 10 conventional

Do you have to do monthly testing at the schools too? Or is it just something you do?

[@nics-systems-electric]

Yes every system is supposed to be tested monthly

[@Justarubberduck]

Why don't you have a voice evac system? I think if you were to add it it would make it seem more like a commercial building. I've seen little modules you can add to your panel to make them work and wiring speakers w strobes. I just thought of it because my school has a voice EVAC system

[@nics-systems-electric]

In my entire life in Canada I've only seen half a dozen buildings with Voise evacuation it is not common and definitely not necessary the building is not wired for it and it is extremely expensive and unless you're using custom messages it's pointless in my opinion

you always say that EST is bad, but i see so many newly constructed buildings with EST systems so it cant be that bad, right? what makes EST systems bad, especially newer ones?

[@ESTedwards]

EST systems actually aren’t that bad, but their older systems like the QuickStart and the EST2 were really glitchy and bad

[@nics-systems-electric]

You see lots installed not necessarily because it's a good product. mostly the products that are installed in the building depends on who the contractor works with. if they have deals with certain companies and often times electrical contractors have a go to company for fire alarm that will install one product only. sometimes depending on your actual area they're only is a few options for install. cost a factor if EST is cheap to install

Did you not watch the previous video from 7 days ago? Having the systems trigger each other would require nic to run around to reset both systems before the other is finished initializing.

Clearly haven't watched it… monthly testing videos would be over if I had to deal with that too much of a pain. no system should ever be set up that way. I've worked with them in the field it's not fun requires a person at each panel with communication with each other at all time. And resets have to be coordinated.
