When you’re trying to identify cables you should try using a tone generator. I use the Tempo PTS 200 and it comes in really handy for tracing circuits and sorting out big bunches of cables if they’re not labelled.

Hi Jordan, I really enjoy your video's. I like the way you leave your mistakes unedited, no one is perfect, mistakes come easy when your tired. Your professional standards are high. Keep your videos coming look forward to them. The only criticism is the sound is too soft and muffled sometimes because you are not facing the mike, us old cretins can't hear the full sound spectrum. Good work thanks.

@B3CK377 4 года назад

The MCP next to the panel looks like it was fitted so that you keep it in the same zone as the rest of the devices in the zone. Cable from zone 1, down to MCP back to the outgoing cable (jointed) of zone 1..... Those Apollo bases that were initially installed will work with that CTec panel......For reference those panels have a 1 man walk test function... Saves running around silencing

@cantbelieveimhere2935 4 года назад

The existing apollo detectors wouldnt have worked as they were standard conventional, the new Ctec panel was the 2 wire alarmsense which has conventional sounder outputs, but the zones are only compatible with alarmsense detectors.

@andrewswift4894 Месяц назад

@adamdavis2068 4 года назад

Just a tip for fire alarms, make sure you tape the fp that is coming into the panel. Just some reg that is constantly drilled into us fire alarm boys heads. Good work, first sparky I’ve seen that hasn’t actually done a shit job that someone will have to go back to correct

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Thanks 😊

@daveblake6407 3 года назад

Bit late to the party but a tip with conventional/two wire fire systems, make sure you note in the panel or on the zone chart where the end of lines are, trust me at 3AM it is greatly appreciated! Thankfully i traded my cutters for a calculator so not an issue for me anymore :) I think you picked up most of the problems i spotted on the 1st video, I believe you are also correct that it should be FP back to the distribution board, i did find in the past that BAFE inspectors tended to have slightly different interpretations of the exact point at which the supply feed needs to be FP, but I have been out of the industry for quite a while so they have probably further clarified the requirements now

@_chrisr_ 3 года назад

I've never seen the construction of a fire alarm system so this was really interesting. but I did just want to get some nice fine filler on the gap under the panel as the caulk didn't seem to leave a nice finish!

@peternewman4365 3 года назад

Classic, the wholesaler supplied some series 65 detectors, together with alarmsense detectors. I find this issue so regularly when tech supporting fire engineers, who are servicing systems. Electricians often don’t have smoke to fully test system when installing & don’t realise the system they have installed does not work. Fire alarms should be supplied & I installed by fully trained individuals.

@bryceonyoutube 4 года назад

I cannot believe that someone who "Installed" this fire alarm in the sound mind and concious left it in that state! Just imagine if a fire did happen and all the kids could of died!!!! Beyond gross neglience!!!! The "installer" should be reported and all of their work audited!!!! I think all fire alarm installers no matter which country your from should have a regulatory body like Gas Safe Register where they must register and be constantly monitored and aduited!

@michaelcox4081 4 года назад

I agree but i also think there should be an Electrical Register (like Gas Safe). NOT ran by the NIC or the likes.

@feelingtardy 4 года назад

i'm from the u.s. but work in the industry. if i signed off and certified that system, it's my ass on the line. not sure how it is in the u.k., probably more strict. obviously they could go after my employer, but i'm personally responsible as well. also, it's a felony what that "installer" did

@cocoino2307 4 года назад

@@feelingtardy correct me if im wrong but in the US after a normal house rewire you get an Inspector to look at the jobs right? how often is that? in Uk we almost never get them if its one house , only if its a big job 3+ houses they come and they only look at each house/flat 5 mins. the amount of illegal work in uk is stupid and the worse thing is that if the installation has been made for a couple years they dont really procecute them

@anthonybragg 4 года назад

There must have been a fire alarm certificate issued for the building to be put into use?

@acelectricalsecurity 4 года назад

But really, if that building required a fire alarm, they should not have been using it , so had something happened the scouts would have been in hot water as well as the original installer.

@busman2000 4 года назад

With the toilets, I have found through personal experience that motion activated light switches are inconvenient, as when you are seated and about your business, you tend to be out of the range of detection and or moving very little. A sound activated switch would be much better as you can clap your hands to switch the lights back on. Should you be plunged into darkness whilst your trousers are around your ankles, and you have a potentially messy job to take care of in the dark.

@rattlehead85 4 года назад

Great Video as always Jordan...your content is always interesting to watch. Learnt something here to about the end of line capacitors and resistors...never thought about why they had to be different. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@tomorichard 4 года назад

What certification will you issue on completion of these works? I would be check to see if your insurance covers you to carry out fire alarm system works as it’s not something you would think of but also very often a higher level of cover.

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Yes I issued a Fire Alarm Certificate

@scottterrell33 4 года назад

You could have fitted sounder bases on the zones if you used an alarm sense panel and done away with the sounder circuit

@yeety1208 3 года назад

This is an alarmsense panel

@ajmelectricalcontractors 3 года назад

Do the integrated sounder bases on the smoke detectors require 4 core cable or do they just work on the 2 core cable straight from the zone wiring panel?

@acelectricalsecurity 4 года назад

I have watched all the videos on this job, and it looks like it's had some kind of refurb done on it maybe a grant, and if that was the case I wouldn't be surprised if the electrical work was done by the builder as well, it just has all the signs of jobs I have come across where a builder has had a go and been out of their depth. Because none of the stuff in that place is rocket science its everyday stuff to an electrician.

@stephenmartin8665 2 года назад

I would definitely surface mount for a swift and clean installation. Seal all gaps with fire rated sealant. Jobs a goodun 👍

@imark7777777 4 года назад

Nice job on that floor outlet, for a floor outlet you would think that it would have been designed to sit in the floor more than just on it. makes me wonder if that was just a hinged flap outlet and not actually a floor outlet. Either way it looks nice and it looks flush with the floor.

@xylo66 4 года назад

Another good one Jordan.

@williamcross3904 4 года назад

Interesting video, atleast it's all working know.! You would of thought the owner would have asked for the system to be monitored through to an alarm receiving centre as it's a building? I had a fire alarm fault years ago in a nightclub, there was basically water pouring through the ceiling into a smoke head. The ceiling collapsed hours later from the weight of the water etc. I always get the good jobs!!!

@crazyboy2006cashier 4 года назад

nice video, however with closed doors, personally i would have added extra wires and used the zones to split the "area" to save time in activation... or better still fitted an addressable... i realise multiple ways to do things... just the way i would have done it....... open comment... is there enough DB for that area... am sure there is far to few detection devices in that hut too.

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Thanks for your input

@KrisHudsonLee 4 года назад

I tend to go addressable too. If there's only a couple of zones and the wiring integrity is good it's just a case of linking the ends. You can often use the sounder circuits as your cross path as the sounder circuits will tend to follow the zone circuits.

@philipshaw8180 3 года назад

well done Jordan very impressive work , I think a big help to working is working neat and tidy , keep em coming most enjoyable

@adejupe8308 4 года назад

... and judging by the state of the other bodge jobs that you uncovered previously, I hope you checked that those FP cables weren't live!!! I'd imagine one labelled 'call point' may have actually been terminated into an FCU somewhere else in the building!!!!!

@rossmcghie576 4 года назад

What was the need to replace the exsisting panel? Was it not more expensive to change to a new panel?

@jonathanstephens7804 4 года назад

much better to replace the panel with a decent quality one with compatible accessories imo.

@HenryLoenwind 4 года назад

@@jonathanstephens7804 It wasn't about quality, the issue is trust. Seeing what second-hand rubbish was installed in other areas, the existing panel and sensors were just not trustworthy.

@LSUBMX 2 года назад

That existing panel was a cb200, at least 20 years old now, the standard recommends a 10 year lifespan for fire panels.

@angusbrown8707 4 года назад

I hope you renewed the mains cable in fp 200 whilst you had the fire alarm panel out.

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

Not a chance it wasn't possible i'm afraid

@cjkokay 4 года назад

I laugh at using fire proof cable. Why? Cause the cable to the switch board won't be fire proof so negates the effectiveness of it.

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

True

@angusbrown8707 4 года назад

Carl Kokay well on commercial sites we always run a fire tuff (fp 200) from the section board to a fire alarm isolation switch then to the fire alarm panel normally below in fp as well. Then the cable is fire rated from basically point of entry to building to the panel.

@j.w2000 4 года назад

@@cjkokay true its a waste of requirements, paper and time if you ask me , because your ring main/lighting circut cable isn't fp, its like that the glass on MCPs have to be saftey glass as pepole have cut themselves on the glass, i've had training on how to operate a call point what takes non saftey glass, i've even got a mcp what takes real glass and you can still get the glass for it and the hammer, but chances are of you breaking the glass with your elbow is quite high as pepole nick the hammers.

@lewistempleman9752 4 года назад

Question, is it possible to do damage to the panel by either using a capacitor in place of a resistor or vice versa, or by shorting out L1 and L2 completely etc.

@ickipoo 3 года назад

I don't think so, it just messes up the signalling. A bigger question would be whether the panel would survive one of those zones getting connected to 240V! A well designed panel should have some protection, as nearby lightning strikes will induce large transients in the zone wiring, but probably not enough to survive direct connection to the mains.

@RJSFIREALARMS Год назад

fun fact did you now that in the us by code you are not aloud to have a low voltege fa or fire alarm wires next to high voltige wire they have to be at a min of 5 feet away due to if one of the wires is on fire it does not damige the wire next to it . and did you now that fa or fire alarm wire is fire prof and that is why fa wire is red .and i am a fire alarm expert that is why i now this. KEEP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!

@Skidmark1974 Год назад

When you took the checkpoint panel off you should have realised it was a bi-wire and that you needed a bi-wire with alarmsense detection ya sausage

@ecelectrical2004 3 года назад

great video but did you tape up the ends?

@acelectricalsecurity 4 года назад

its hard to imagine anyone doing work like that, but there are several scenarios, i cant imagine a proper electrician doing that no matter how rough they are, and i am sure if it was a registered installer an organisation like the scouts would have been in touch with whoever they were or are registered with. Really there should have been detectors in the loft as well, and i guess if the place needed a working fire alarm they shouldn't have been using the building.

@bryankeane2971 4 года назад

Just so you know you need to wire the l1 out terminal also. If you connect the heads incorrectly each head on the next link of wire loses power. Therefore if 1 head is removed all the rest no longer work

@alexanderbuckland 4 года назад

He demonstrated in the video that when he removed the heads in the hall, the end call point still functioned. Therefore he correctly tested the polarity and this point has been addressed.

@j.k.5370 3 года назад

@dangraves7808 4 года назад

I once went to a job to check a fire alarm system which had not operated After a small chip pan fire in a kitchen none of the call points worked and when I opened the panel there was one call point hidden inside it and all the zones had been disconnected! It would have never worked luckily no one was hurt but it just shows you how many cowboys are about installing fire alarms I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing I’d left a job in that condition

@paulescott4789 4 года назад

@pauljones908 4 года назад

Ive not done these in a while so correct me if im wrong but the supply was never required to be in FP if it had a battery backup as the batteries keep the supply to the alarm but all the outgoing circuits did to maintain the sounder circuits during the event of a fire? Also the non switched fuse spur was ok as it required a tool to isolate it? Unless regs have changed since.. like i said it has been a while 😂. Like others have said on here i would have left the original sounders and put an addition above the board on a seporate circuit. Still loving the work though, keep them coming and yet again another professional install. Take care and stay safe 👍😁

@paulescott4789 4 года назад

It is a requirement for it to be fire rated cable

@pauljones908 4 года назад

Ive just found it. Below is an extract from BS 5839. Thanks for the info 👍😁 Recommendations for mains power supplies The following recommendations are applicable to the low voltage mains supply to the system. NOTE 1 This supply should be regarded as an integral part of the fire alarm system, particularly for the purpose of certification of the system (see Clause 41), regardless of whether the electrical installation within the building is provided by the organization responsible for installation of the fire alarm system. "All fire alarm cables should be of a single, common colour that is not used for cables of general electrical services in the building, to enable these cables to be distinguished from those of other circuits." NOTE 13 The colour red is preferred. Source URL: www.electriciansforums.net/threads/main-supply-to-fire-alarm-panel.120451/

@Ragnar8504 4 года назад

Interesting to see you're using 1.5 mm2 for the zones and sounder circuits! In Austria it's something like 2-core phone wire, very small cross-section and red and black cores, as it's DC. Don't think the only system I've ever looked at (Schrack) has Lin and Lout terminals, it detects missing detector heads by the change of circuit resistance, at least that's what I've been told. All I did was remove one base for about a minute to thread the wires through a hole as the old suspended ceiling was demolished and reconnect it exactly as it'd been before. All work on the system is done by manufacturer service techs. As the loop resistance is stored in the panel you can't even alter the length of any cables without reprogramming the panel.

@imark7777777 4 года назад

Sounds like that might have been an older system apparently the newer ones can detect head removals. Yes I think the UK decided to go with the same size stuff that simplifies installs as it can bounce between low voltage and high voltage and then they only have to stock one kind of cabling. I'm in the US and again telephone wire or similar smaller gauge wire is the tendency here I think that might be to fall under the low voltage requirement and to prevent Mix-Ups.

@imark7777777 4 года назад

Although it is easier to install after the fact so maybe it has to do with when the regulation was written into a requirement to make it easier for after installs

@Amir58852 2 года назад

@bongopongo6206 2 года назад

A plastic fire alarm installed by an electrician- Mains in PVC, no zone chart, back boxes absent on the detection, batteries appear undated. There is a current reading taken my applying power to the controls, the the battery is then connected in series with probes on multi meter / clamp meter thing This is reading will is the current taken to charge the just of CEF's shelf batteries, you need to be measuring the quiescent current & current in alarm There is a 4mm earth stud in the control panel, it's designed for a ring crimped onto the CPC, personally I'd remove it & splash out £1.50 on brass earth block

@G0ogs 4 года назад

The alarm sense/ twin wire base sounder usually requires a link on the base if there is no head installed , I’m sure that might of caught you out, easy mistake , plus did you print the date on the batteries?. You mentioned the zone polarity but should check the head removal fault works, thus will concur polarity . On some twin wire systems the sounders need to be wire in reverse polarity 👍🏼

Hi Guys, after watching this I have a question. I work with roller shutter and also Fire roller shutter, from a fire test, how often would you recommend the client carrys out a full fire drop test on the roller shutter?

@Liberator975 3 года назад

I guess that should be done in consideration of testing the alarm and where it is in the building. Different areas require different regulation 😊

@davidirvine6035 3 года назад

@@Liberator975 Thanks , we have always said to our clients that they must check the fire shutter under fire conditions, but they always seem to bypass the shutters.

Is the floor socket permanent live or was there a switch on the wall.(maybe i missed that ) ??

@HeresMo 3 года назад

I'm glad you found the call points, could have been some serious loss of life if there was a fire. Tragic install, really hate cowboy sparks, unless they were wireless call points which I doubt.

Great series. Just binge watched the lot and enjoyed your trials and tribulations from start to finish. Thanks for explaining everything so well as you went along too. :-)

Lol Yes although when I first started reading I was thinking you were going to talk about the installer who did the previous work?

The easiest way to do a battery load test: grab a multi-meter, connect + of multi-meter to + of battery, then connect - of multi-meter and connect to - of battery. Make sure the multi-meter is set on DC VOLTAGE, It may not work on AC Voltage. Also, Put zone labels next to each device, It'll make it easier to point out which device goes to what zone in future maintenance.

Has Dan Jackson seen this? If so, he must be having nightmares over the bodge job from the previous spark 😱😱😱

Does the fire alarm dial out to the Fire Brigade?

@fst1775 4 года назад

With some panels you can get a dialler on it.

Is there no devices in the roof space?

@artisanelectrics 4 года назад

No, not needed. Its just a loft.

@M16iVeNoM 4 года назад

Artisan Electrics , no worries dude thought I’d ask as when I’ve installed full systems myself previously (F/A designed by others) roof voids above I think 600mm have always needed them if there’s a detector below ceiling

@KrisHudsonLee 4 года назад

@@artisanelectrics not technically your judgement call. Careful with that! Only a fire risk assessment can make that call, and if you decide it doesn't need them then it's on your neck if something goes wrong. This is why so many of my electrician friends are totally backing out of doing fire alarms. Too much at stake.
