Super crazy yet super cool system and test. This system harkens back to the days when Mirtone was bought out by Edwards in 1990. They kept producing the original Mirtone stations til 1994 or so while using Edwards for everything else. (Not sure why) Those Mirtone pulls were a pain to reset and would often break unless you had the right sized screwdriver. Thankfully in 94 they used 270's thereafter.
Very interesting to have notification and trigger appliances in a crawlspace. I don't see a crawlspace a space people use every day. *Crawlspace Chronicles* is a very suiting name for the second half of the video by the way.
the NACs surprise me, but the IDs don't since there are transformers down there... I probably would have used smokes instead of heats (or a combination of the two).
Watching from the UK, it was interesting that you don't use "smoke" to test the detectors ? I appreciate that detectors can be tested with a "magnet", but here in the UK, we are required to use "smoke" to fully test the sensing chamber. Only recently discovered your channel, but really love it ! Keep up the great content. 👍
Architecturally, I feel like this is a pretty modern looking building considering its age...except for the color palette lol. I thought my high school and middle school (also built in 1993) were very modern looking, but this tops them lol
My high school, has notifier Strobes in hallways! Notifier Pull stations at every Outside door! Tons of magnet fire doors in every hallway! Alarms in Classrooms (not Strobes except dance classroom workout room & Music Room & Shop classes!
I'm sure that the Horn strobes in the bathrooms are there for only one purpose other than the life safety aspect and that is to literally scare the shit out of you.
2:31, Apparently, heats in sprinklered buildings are common regardless if the flow is being monitored, because some parts of buildings don't have sprinkler heads, they need heats. But what confuses me is that I saw a thermal heat/smoke detector in my school's kitchen and it does have sprinklers in there, so I don't know if it was an old requirement or something.
Definitely not a requirement anymore this is the only building out of 30 something buildings in my district that has sprinklers and also heats it makes no sense
That's an idea but I don't think so when every other building does not have that and it's not like the zones are broken up anymore specifically than the flow switches
@@nics-systems-electric just took. A thousand subs in under a month. The more you grow the faster. I've been doing it for around 5 years and have 140 subs
Not here most of them don’t. very rarely do they have a key switch they don’t really properly test them anyways if it’s just a key switch but it would be better than nothing
Is that can you spray into the smoke detector a can of smoke. And is it true that if something is close or covering the smoke detector it will set off the alarms
Yes it's test smoke and things covering smoke detectors won't set them off but beam detectors which use lasers to shoot across the room can be affected by things blocking them
Just makes no sense it’s not required since it’s sprinkled even if water was shut off I do believe if the sprinkler head activated it would still trip the flow I could be wrong
@@auggatronicRoblox_official there is still pressure left in the system though so if a sprinkler head opened there could still be a slight bit of flow and push the pedal enough trip
You could try however it would have to be a lot of smoke. We figured it out you just have to take out a couple screws and pull the entire smoke detector head out from the sample chamber
This school might make no sense with heats and sprinklers, but my school is worst, not heats and no sprinklers, just smokes in stairwells, machine rooms and elevator area
if anyone has recess still somehow in middle school reply aslo the reason I miss it is because it was a other talk to Friends area I’m kinda glad it is gone u know why outdoor related injuries I regret just talking on the swings and not useing the time I had it you know what this could give me a bonus points at one of class control c control v time 😎 anyways this is getting long but you guys get the point you know
That's what you would think and what I thought but it seems as though here it's only done for the initial verification and then doesn't have to be afterwards which I don't understand but that's how all the companies do it where I am
