Wow does this ever bring back memories! I had the privilege of growing up with at least 3 buildings back in the 90’s that had this exact system - 2 malls plus a movie theatre. I also worked in a nursing home which used this as well and got to see a full demonstration back then as to how this worked. Exactly as you have here with one exception; they all employed Adaptabel single-stroke bells instead of vibrating. When first stage was activated they sounded like this; “Ding (pause) ding (pause) ding.” Then once the system entered second stage the bells would all sound in a march time pattern like this; “DIng Ding Ding Ding Ding” until system silenced or 2 stage acknowledged button pushed(back to first stage) If you listen to the 800% sped up part of the video it sounds exactly like the Adatabels in second stage. Not sure exactly when Edwards stopped making the 10” Adatabels but I can confirm that after 1964 they were available in Canada as single-stroke only.

Cool FACP! It's very customizable & very awesome! 😮😊

I’ve never heard of a two stage fire alarm panel, good to know!😊

It was fun getting this thing all initially built and working! I remember us trying to lift that thing onto the table to bench test it lmao. I believe actually that these panels (at least the Mark IIs) were still around when the ESA-2000 was in production, so there was a brief period where both were still being sold at the same time!

I love the clunking when it resets

We just pulled this panel out of my building last year to bad i didnt know you wanted one . the simplex system i told you about is what replaced it. We only changed it out because the old one the bords were starting to fail and we wanted a more state of the art system

Very nice demonstration!

Great explanation. Loved it.

Ahh, I knew a longer key must exist for those 270s with the keyswitch! The regular arrowhart key is definitely a bit too short. Now I need to track one of those down...

Well explained Nic!

Oh cool, never seen this fire alarm system like this 1 I like da video, keep it up..

Wow that a nice system Nic 😊❤🤩😍

As I live in the UK, we don't have such cool fire alarms. The equivalent of the term "Annunciator" over here it is called a repeater panel. We do have more compact sounder bases though.

Neat vid, I have a few 2-stage pulls myself; the UL version of yours, a Cerberus-Pyrotronics MS-53, and a (pre-Honeywell acquisition) Gamewell M46-30. I haven’t seen many 2-stage systems here in the states, but the one I did see was a Johnson Controls branded Notifier system. It had 2-stage addressable JBG-10L pull stations. I’m not sure if they were custom or not since the only proof of a 2-stage device was a mention on the Fire-Lite data sheet, but that indicates the 2-stage devices are hex reset.

I like that old steam

Intresting i must say... Keep it up my guy...

Yaaaaaay keep up the good work my friend 👊

I love these panels! They're soo dated & kistchy 70s looking, and such a cool, modular and simple design. But not many exist in the US anymore since they all broke down, since their manufacture quality sadly lacks from it's competitors...

I like that old Stum

Good system

Have you seen a system where the audible signal is coded. I'm not talking about a coded system, I'm talking about an addressable system, but each zone has it's own code on the horns. If the alarm sounded occupants were instructed to listen to the code. If the code was for your zone, you were to evacuate. If the code was for another zone, you were to await instructions. In the event of an actual fire you would be instructed to evacuate...possibly to another location inside the large building. I was in that building when there was an actual fire. Fire alarm sounded, I woke up and awaited instructions, a bit later a PA announcement was made to evacuate to the opposite side of the building from the fire.

cool system love the videos

As i said, still a great upload schedule

I love your video and I support you

Cool video, thanks!

In the rec centre that twenty three 33 filmed in bell test 7 monitoring gets called in 1st stage

my JR high school and high school both had the 2 stage but they were set up to have full alarm with pull stations and only go into stage one if there was an issue in the mechanical room

Do a train gate video

Maybe make a tornado system in your house for safety if there's a tornado weather

in the US typically we dont have 2 stage but for highrises and hospitals we have area by area or floor by floor evac typically, so its a similar concept, done for the same reasons.

nice herdio speakers btw

- Video idea: how easy it is to accidentally pull an BG-12

Now what is the difference between pre-signal and pre-alarm

Does this 6500 use parts from the one you pulled out of that elementary school? In fact, what happened to that unit? Is this one still that unit?

I like that long two stage key! Where did you get it? I’ve been looking for one like that

got a question for you nic what is worse dealing with a ground fault or dealing with the portables problems on the est quickstart?

Have a look at the fire alarms we have hete in aus just about all them are 2 satge but instead of bells we have speekers that play a beep beep beep for how ever long is neded then gose into a up sweep alarm tone and can play voice messages if neded

"It looks like they are ran off the same zone initiating currents." If it looks like they run _off_ those same currents then what does it look like they run *ON?*

Growing up in Canada god I hated the bells. Although seeing it now I still hate it.

"...That you think myself or others could take away..." I don't think _yourself_ could take something away from it, because I'm not you. However, if I come up with any more information that I think *you* ("I") could take something away from it, I'll let you know.

can you make a video about the railroad crossing?

"Hence why..." You can save effort by just saying "hence..." and then the next thing, since "hence" already includes the idea of why.

it looks like a server rack for me idk how/

What happens if you connect an l series to a 2 stage 6500?

"As best as I can." With "best" being the extreme good, is there really any way that it can be on a scale, with "as" for variability up and down that scale? * *"...The* best I can."

You know how your house alarm has a garage alarm put a house alarm in the garage alarm for supervisory

Hello l love you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ am first

I green screen your shorts 🎉

The uk fire alarm system don’t use two stage not that I know of

"Still... still"?

Right, of course computers had been invented years before the 80s. They came out in the 1940s when you claimed that fire alarms did, but then fire alarms came out in the 1850s.

Third comment

I just wanna say I hate system sensor now because I don't know if you've noticed but I think you've installed advances, and nobody likes those because they are bleeding loud, especially for the hard of hearing school. Where I got this from, this video below is how I found out about these system sensor advances. Watch the whole video to get my point. Please don't install advances, if you haven't, please reply specifically. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gtpdlbFz0d7XfIU.htmlsi=UalHoZwFAyq1umh5
