One time, I saw a video on here with one of the enthusiasts who did his home system. He went to test the heat detector and accidentally permanently activated it. When he swore and used the alarm sounds to censor himself, I couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes.
Whoa that disc popped fast. Always wondered growing up though; if I pulled on the disc of one of these detectors to the point where the disc actually broke off would that also latch the unit into alarm?
I'm really curious about the "Leave on, do not turn off" written on the light switch in the cupboard just next to the FAP in the house. By chance, is this feeding power to the panel?
The fire alarm panel is a dedicated circuit the switch is switching a receptacle that use to be power for the furnace would've been a disconnect now is just powering condensate pump and fire door magnet and furnace shut down control but it can and likely will be removed at some point
I'm guessing you are referring to addressable units. the fact they aren't one time use fixed temperature is nice however even on brand new installs we will often go for mechanical conventional units due to better reliability if they are being installed in a harsh environment such as an attic or crawlspace
Hey Nic, love your vids on your garage system, but I have a question. When are you and Hayden gonna post another Durability Testing video? Those videos you and Hayden do are just pure comedy and makes me laugh. I was hoping you would test a device that doesn't work or that you don't use.
This video was great for reasearch purposes now I don't have to set of the fire sprinkler or something congratulations please keep up the videos I think I said before I wanted to major in fire protection but had trouble taking classes I am moving glad that I am elpoyjyed a grocery store for a short time I sold smoke alarms and fire extinguishers but it was month highly successful but my bussin essence successes were possible because I did manage to have good consultant I actually made a custom fire alarm math ought you can bet it's illegal to sell!
- I have seen sometimes a Notifier smoke detector will randomly poll green very rapidly for 1-2 seconds. Why is this? I see some detectors in a building do it more than others.
@@nics-systems-electric why not? I know there are many reasons that could be the reason but what are the reason(s) that apply to your circumstances. Can you reupload the ones that were taken down?
@@nics-systems-electric so demographics have changed. Interesting. As for fire alarm field content, you plan to work for a bigger company that covers bigger places? I love watching those kinds of vids as they help me prepare for work in the field. I’m going to trade school soon myself.
@@achannelwithnopurpose1977 I've got 3 years of electrical apprenticeship first before I go more specific into specific area of the electrical field not sure at the moment where I'm planning to go
we use a heat gun and just keep it moveing works well in the building my system is in you arnt allowed to use any device that makes a flame we now have to propress pluming etc
