System Test 11 | Board 1 - No Power! 

Thanks! Haha yeah that’s just a funny coincidence. I’ve had the devices planned for this system test for a few weeks now.

We had a bad storm to

Haha, usually they don’t!

Great us system!! The netherlands.

I subscribed to you

Yep. Fire alarm systems are required to remain functional in a power outage for a minimum of 24 hours. (At least in the US)

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Lovely to me

Wait, I’m subscribe to him that one. RU-vidr you have all the fire alarms and security systems ¿right?

Thanks! Yeah I wanted to try out something new. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks. I currently have Smoke Saber and Smoke Centurion and I alternate between them from test to test. Also I ended up blowing out the detector with canned air but it wasn’t shown in the video for time reasons.

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Batteries are chad

Thank you! I wanted to experiment and try something different.

Thank you very much! I’m glad you liked it!

That's my favorite alarm!

Thank you!

Good question. I’m not sure of that information on the top of my head, and it varies depending on what devices are installed. Fire alarm code requires alarms to sound and flash for a minimum of 15 minutes if the system is operating on the backup batteries. So in theory it should at least last around that time.

Both the AS and NS are two wire alarms. They are able to be audibly silenced with Wheelock’s sync protocol; which the Fire-Lite MS-9200UDLS is capable of and was set to in this video.

@@ExitSign250 Very cool! Thanks for the quick response :) ! I'll look into how this works, I think it's pretty interesting! I think your videos are great, keep up the good work!

Thank you very much! I’m always happy to answer any questions!

@@ExitSign250 Sorry for bothering you, but I have one more question. I recently purchased a Wheelock 31T, which, if I recall correctly, is an AC horn. I have a DC panel, so I'm not exactly sure how I would make that work with my DC panel. Do you have any idea on how I could do that?

@CrappyPastry99 Hey again! No worries, you aren’t bothering me at all. Unfortunately with an AC horn it cannot be used with panels with DC outputs. However, if your panel has an alarm relay, you can connect your horn to it with an AC power supply if the relay is rated for it. While this method will allow the horn to sound when the panel is in alarm, you cannot silence or change the coding as the alarm relay is triggered when the panel is in alarm and resets when the panel resets. I hope this makes a bit of sense and feel free to ask anymore questions!

I live in Colorado, USA. Fire central

its exitsign250 not s.e.r safety..

Yep! Those batteries power the entirety of the system.

@@ExitSign250 Cool! Nice video by the way

That's actually true, and that's facts.

And 7:35 sounds like the ones at the mall I go to (the white one does)

Not sure. I don’t remember making one before, but I might’ve.

@@ExitSign250 link to power outage video you made:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J_jp4eHLbG4.html

In North America most smoke detectors on fire alarm systems do not have any built in sounders. However you can get some with a sounder base or internal sounder. These are mostly common in hotel, dorm, or other sleeping rooms.

@@ExitSign250 cheers mate

@@ExitSign250 ok mate, we get sounders in ours quite a lot (Apollo, Gent, Roshni to name a few, (fire alarm brands we have in the UK) Pull stations (aka call points) (idk the actual names) KAC Call Point, Apollo XP95 Call Point, and this one old one I forgot the name of, it’s the old push to break glass one, while the first two are push to activate but u can reset them

Most of the time the only thing that will happen is the control panel will beep in trouble indicating an AC fault. Older systems can have issues where the alarms will sound in a power failure which isn’t by design.

My audio levels are fine. The issue must be on your end.

External power box battery

It by the emergency lights and the fire panel battery 🔋
