Continuing the saga of fire alarm testing and inspections - this is the Middle School in the same district as this video:
• Fire Alarm Test at a L...
System Details:
Panel: EST-3 (GE/Edwards...whatever)
- 211 Smokes (Mixture of Addressable EST and Conv. Simplex)
- 23 Heats (Same Mixture)
- 29 Pulls (Same Mixture)
- 48 A/V (Same Blah Blah...)
- 15 Strobe Only
- 4 NAC Extenders
- 1 Annunciator (Edwards/GE)
- 1 Dialer (DMP Burg Panel)
- 20 Duct Detectors
- A bunch of door holders
I can't put the panel in walk test because it's a proprietary EST-3 that's meant for a high-rise building or giant complex - one has to program everything, including a walk test. The genius that installed it didn't bother - I was able to hack into it but a laptop and time is needed to program it. Maybe this August if I have time.
I had a helper this time - I normally don't despite the fact that I can't put this panel in walk test (explained below) - you'll hear me babbling back and forth on on a radio with him. He needs experience with inspections and he listens, which works for me.
I try to schedule things like this so he can help - this video is the last tip - we're done with the inspection - probably about three hours in or so.The school is enormous - WPA era building, 3 floors, massive catacombs basement, and an addition.
Normally when I have no helper I just kill the bells (buttons programmed for that, fan shutdowns, dialer trip - guess that was their idea of "walk test") and trip 5 or 10 smokes. Eventually they stop tripping and I have to go back to the panel or annunciator and reset. Since about 175 of the 211 smokes are conventional it's a lot of walking - It's amazing that I'm still a fat mess - but I digress. I was happy to have help.
Same deal as the last one: I did my best to conceal the identity of the school for numerous reasons, if you recognize it, shut up; don't ruin it for everyone and make me take it down.
