Hey there’s one of my old TrueAlerts (BTW, it’s not a quick alert. The quick alerts had a different grill design, that’s just an early true alert.) ! Actually really cool that you ended up with it. I actually got that 4903 from One of Western Michigan universities academic buildings. They were doing construction and they gave me 5. I ended up giving one to Zach from BSS, and that’s how you got it. I still have 3 left of my own, and I did a short review video on it.
Great video 😀👍👍 I couldn’t tell whether it was the Simplex Alarms on FWR, my headphones, and/or something audio related on your end, but the alarms sounded really scratchy. Keep up the great work and thank you!😉
can you do a upside down system?, where everything (pull stations and fire alarms) are upside down, and swap the pull stations with the smoke detectors?!?!? that would be amazing!!
To wire conventional initiating devices to addressable panels, you must use a monitor module. My monitor modules are above the MS-9200UDLS panel. They look like square plates with a blinking light on it. Some other brands may have different looking ones but they all have the same general function.
Yep, they are directly wired to the panel’s NACs. (FWR) I don’t personally believe in the whole “don’t run Simplex devices on FWR” stuff because I’ve done it for years and nothing has ever happened.
@@ExitSign250 how you wired it was wiring resettable power to the resettable power terminals of the module, the smoke detector to the zone on of the module, and the SLC to the slc terminals? Thanks
It directs the air away from the smoke/heat detectors. The air from the vent can make it difficult to test the detectors so the vent cover redirects it away from them.
The iPhone/iPad or whatever that he’s using that is connected to his microphone can only handle a very low level line input, so it’s probably that the level is too high and the internals on the device start to clip. I use a TRS to TRRS converter to use the mic input to play music via a 3.5mm cable while I’m streaming and if the volume on the other phone playing the music is over half then the mic input will start clipping and causing the audio to have the same effect. I think it has to do more with the levels and that his microphone is completely fine.
Actually, the issue with the sound is due to I face my shotgun microphone away from the devices and facing me. If I were to face it towards the alarms, you wouldn’t be able to hear me much. I’m in the process of getting a mic to attach to me, then have the shotgun mic faced towards the alarms. That way audio from both ways is equal.
