Great as always. I always enjoy a new video from you. I love the way you explain exactly what you are doing and you always do your best to give me the how and why things work like they do.
Thank you I am glad you enjoy. Some don't like that I explain things the way I do but I would rather give more information than less. Thanks for watching
I did some research, and I think Simplex is the best system because not only do they have horns and detectors, but also have voice Evac for not only fire but weather, medic, etc. Many things that has that system sensor doesn't. That's why Simplex is my favorite.
You can get all of the same things with system sensor (aka Honeywell), they just are under a different name like fire lite for notifier. They also make messages for medic alert and make blank speaker/ horn strobes that you can put custom lettering and a colored strobe lens on. My personal favorite is Honeywell/ fire lite because I think that they have some good quality products.
Yeah everything you just described other companies can do simplex does not have great reliability especially on their newer networked systems. The biggest issue is their service.
@@Notmh4byyy2.0and its technically not "tecknecly" and he is right simplex isnt just the only producer who produces that stuff. just because system sensor doesnt sell it doesnt mean that the honeywell panels cant have voice evac. the voice and alarm does not be inputted into the speaker it only plays it the panel inputs the voice and makes the speaker play the voice and alarm so he is technically right. in for all, honeywell is better than simplex and he is right and nic is too.
I appreciate your videos and how you make your video's by testing your devices. I really appreciate what you do for us. Thanks for making great videos and i really enjoy your channel. I I wish you good luck bud and god bless you bud. Your the best RU-vidr bud. Keep up the good work bud.
If the garage door is electric, you could command it to close upon the fire alarm being triggered, that could also help prevent oxygen getting to a fire inside, as well as making the sprinkler functional (keep the one you tested in this video though, so at least it can trigger the alarm).
Hello I love fire alarm systems thats the reason why I love your channel I wish I could get a fire alarm system in my own home or something but I cant but I might in the future we just have to wait and see but I'm going to ask promotion to see if I can set of the fire alarm at my school for a good video but if there say yes I think it should be after school time or there might want a fire drill so there might let me do it and record it for content. I love your videos and I hope to see you again soon have a great day or night from Liam [your biggest fan]
Considering your door looks to only cover about an 8x7ft area, that sidewall sprinkler pretty much makes up for the area lost in terms of coverage from the sprinkler overhead.
hi Nick got a question for you isn't an industry trend that ion alarms are being increasingly frowned upon in favor of photo electric?does that sound right thoughts ( I mean doesnt updated info state that photos are better for both smoldering and flaming phase fires ? ) thoughts please thank you
I If am understanding correctly its incrasingly being recongnize I had a friend who was a firefighter that said this newest product lines usually discontinue ion's as photo electric is being found to be more effective during both smoldering and flaming fires does that sound right?
@@Fredengle yes Honeywell does not make any ionization detectors anymore due to the reasons as photo electric is more effective usually and not causing as many false alarms not sure if the slight amount of radiation in ionization also has an effect on discontinuing manufacturing of them
@@nics-systems-electric Most of the standard residential smoke alarms sold in the US big box stores appear to still be ionization-based. I'm not sure if you're only taking about commercial systems or if it's a Canada-only rule.
I live in an HOA and I installed a fire alarm system in my house. It's not a sprinkler system, but they can't tell you what you can do in your house, only the outside. They also aren't able to look in your house.
Now, this isn’t about the video… however it’s fire alarm related…. So my school has a fire shield plus panel, Edward’s 270 pull stations, EST Edward’s genesis horn strobes, and the drills only go for about 2 minutes, how come drills you do last for close to 10 sometimes
Is there three types of sprinkler systems like the sprinkler head is facing up when you install the sprinkler head and the sprinkler head facing down when installing in the ceiling and the side sprinkler head and I really want you show me the sprinkler riser in your school that you go in because we want to have a virtual tour of the sprinkler riser room.
Nic dont lie today was a rainy day today it was not sunny. So did pre record if yes ill like if no ill like Also can i attack a sprinkler head to a garden hose connection?
A smoke detector at my school trigged the alarm to go off for an odor of smoke there was no smoke we rest the alarm how come something like this would happen
Odor? It could’ve been someone in a lab using a Bunsen burner or something and it was the odor from it, or maybe it was smoke that was almost invisible
Well it can't pick up odors considering they can't smell, but it could have been something like a bug that crawled in if you're absolutely sure there was no smoke.
smoke detectors work by looking for a deflection of light in a dark chamber, the intent is that smoke deflecting light indicates smoke, however physics says its not exclussive to smoke, anything that can get in the chamber refracts light and can trigger it which is the detailed explanation for why false triggers occur
Not really sure how that could be implemented on a quarter turn valve. If they made a half inch tamper valved for a reasonable price I would've used it.
@@nics-systems-electric mount the switch on the wall or pipe small hole on the end of the handle loop the wire through it. monitor the switch as a supervisory. when someone pulls the leaver to shutoff the water to your sprinkler you will be notified of it.
@@nics-systems-electric Also they do have shut off valves with the switch mounted in them but im not sure how thick your pipe is. "butter fly valve with tamper switch." you can look it up online. be about $200.00
