Unimode (ADT) Addressable Fire Alarm System Test 20

[@ExitSign250]

Nice! Great test

[@SimplexEAS2019]

You should get a mass notification strobe (blue, amber, etc), so that you won't have to see the white strobe off while it's doing mass notification.

+Hunter Cullen (ilovepolice1) I have been thinking about doing that, but it may be some time before I do. I was thinking about system sensor speaker strobes

[@CraigBaker96837]

Well, at least we now know that the messages have a priority index.

The voice Evac sounds good

[@nesmanmain0001]

I have an NFW-50 (MS-9050UD) and cannot get my NGB-12LX to activate the panel after being programmed. Do you know why this might be happening? Also, does the Johnson controls BG101X or whatever it is (adressable bg-10 rebrand) work with the 9050?

[@tor94]

I could not get the Johnson Controls module to work with the MS-9050UD or the ES-50X. Only FireLite or Notifier branded modules (from my experience).

[@AlarmSystemTech]

Nice!

[@FireAlarmNZ]

Do you have any idea how i could run a 12v voice evac amplifier of a 24v panel? i'm thinking of using a buck converter but I think that might affect the supervisory circuit.

[@tor94]

+FireAlarmNZ How much current do you expect is going to that? I would say use a voltage regulator but many of those have a 1.5 amp limit

[@FireAlarmNZ]

+tornadofreak1994 I'm only drawing a 10w load so that's 0.7 amps @13VDC will the voltage regulator cause a trouble on the panel?

[@tor94]

+FireAlarmNZ it should not. but if you use a voltage regulator, if you draw above the rated amps, the regulator might explode (its happened to me lol)

[@FireAlarmNZ]

oh goodness, i bet you almost had a heart attack when you smelled something burning inside the fire alarm panel haha. I just ended up powering it from a separate power supply and just used the panel to monitor the circuit.

[@tor94]

+FireAlarmNZ nice! thats the safer way. and it actually made my panel 100% stop working. I replaced it and it works again!

[@radiosnmore1225]

When it says attention it sounds like the simplex voice

[@williamripepi8710]

Because it is. He put two of them together.

[@SafetySecurityAlert]

did you really hook it up to the fire department?

[@tor94]

yes I did

[@SafetySecurityAlert]

wow that's very professional!! and cool!

[@Dave-ji1hv]

Nice! Subbed!

[@Brandon_Jarvis]

Hey i am a long time viewer and was wanting to know if its possible for me to run a small system off of a ademco vista 20 security panel and if so how?

[@HenBasketFireAlarms]

Is it connected to a monitoring station? If so, you shouldn't.

[@Brandon_Jarvis]

no its not connected to a monitoring station.

[@Dave-ji1hv]

Yes a youtuber by the name DoverDucy has a system running off of a security panel. Go see some of his video's on it. They are a little older.

[@HawkinsWX]

The security system voice it Siri
