I love the Apollo alarms, suits the property very well, amazing work mate! quick questions, Ever thinking of making a demonstation board of the alarms? And are Chubb branded alarms a good beginner brand?
yeah, i used my board to build something else, i dont really have the space to showcase a demo board currently but when i do i will be sure to build one up. chubb devices are usually not actually made by chubb so if you find out what system its compatible with ie Apollo or hochiki or other it should work without any issues.
Good afternoon ,I have a question i have a kentec synco as 8000 fire panel it has a sounder circuit 2 fualt but the resistor works and is instaled and the sounder circuit outputs 27v like all ways but can't fix the fault should i get new one or send or repair
In loop explorer the voice sounder will work under discovery sounder beacon. The tone selection and message selection can be done by following the data sheet that comes with the voice sounder.
Find a call point without the resistor in series, KAC types with the rounded front have this option then just have the call point break the connection between the supply and sounder. This doesn’t work well with detectors you need a little circuit to make that work right.
@@JC09_lvp I mean bear minimum. Literally wit up the same way as you would a light switch. Use a 12V battery or power supply if your sounder needs more then just up the voltage within its working range
hello test logs , i noticed you put the system into test mode with a emergency test switch? how does that link into the panel? its 10 amp switch correct?
there is a switch monitor in the backbox thats the switch is connected to, i drilled a hole in the front plate and fitted an LED that connects to the remote indicator output of the switch monitor. the switch monitor is set up in non latching to put all zones into test while the switch is on. this is a loop connected device.
@@testlogs9005 Thanks for getting back so fast! while I have you tho , I have bought a emergency light and a emergency light test switch. Wiring it is easy but most of the time when the fire alarms goes of all the emergency lights become active no matter what time it is. I have the same panel as you would you know how it would work? if you do know how it does work do you know how to do it?
Is your panel monitored (idk how to spell it) I’m guessing Test Mode doesn’t notify your local fire department when u set it off via test mode I’m guessing it isn’t anyway
It’s not monitored, I plan on integrating it into a system that sends me what’s app messages when faults and alarms occur. There is a serial port on the back of the panel for the printer I will just use the information from that, format it and send it via a what’s app.
@@TDSWar its either or depending on what brand it could be red or it could be green, there could be models that have two led colours to determine state and condition.
@@testlogs9005 I had one at school, when the lunch halls lights went out due to half (probably it was half idk tho) of the school losing power so I got to see the one in the lunch hall in action (it normally has a green light next to it when it is not active but has charge) it’s the ceiling mounted ones
What happened with the fire alarm not activating (u used the Apollo call point and it didn’t activate first go) Edit: also when u tried to activate the heat detector it took so long to activate and the smoke alarm in the room didn’t actually go off at first (I heard one in the hallway go off and then the one probably downstairs and then it went off) Edit 2: the caravan smoke alarm sounds so basic lol (the Apollo’s sound more good)
It’s addressable, it has a very slow data rate it takes time for the command signal to tell all the sounders to turn on then synchronise hence you hear the sounders switching on in different parts of the house as it turns on and off, you can hear them sync sometimes as they stutter their tones.
@@testlogs9005 I have a big favor to ask if you is there anyway we can contact privately so I can ask a couple questions about my new fire panel because obviously your quit skilled and I’m not if you don’t want to that’s fine it’s your choice but ye massive favor
@@Club_vibes69 look up the RU-vid channel AS systems, on the channel banner there is a link to his discord server. there should be a few people on there willing to give you a hand.
