This system is looking awesome! Honestly, you have an amazing career ahead of you with your talent. When I was younger, I had fire alarms wired up in our old townhome. I actually made a homemade panel with a lot of help but my setup was always just for fun, not actually for life safety. What you have done in both your garage and now in your house is 100% professional. The people you work with must be so impressed with your skill. Keep up the good work. I love your videos and I'm sure they will inspire many as they have definitely inspired me. They are also a nice to reminder of my old hobby. I still do like fire alarms and electrical stuff in general though. I'm also very much into tracking power outages so I really appreciate those videos you have done as well. Looking forward to your future videos and projects.

For the duct detector, you can install it in both return and supply, just if you're doing a single it's got to be on supply. There's some arbitrary CFM number (US) where it is required to be on both and I think that also applies if a single unit supplies for more than one story.

@embeddedgirl 10 ай бұрын

Hey Nick, their is a significant difference between the two detector types. The A suffix on the FSP-951a denotes the detector having a ULC listing instead of a UL listing. The detectors without the A suffix are not ULC listed therefore depending on your AHJ, may not be used in your system. Hope this helps!

@@embeddedgirl yeah I get what you're saying the system won't be used in a way to try and get lower insurance it'll just be like having a security fire combo where it's not a CAN/ULC s537 verified system our insurance seems to be extremely laid back here they never come out for any visual assessments or ask what is there it should go to show how concerned they are since they don't care that almost every home built between 1970s to early 2000s have federal pioneer panels which should be a much bigger concern than UL and not ULC listed detectors just my thoughts 50% of the houses I've been in don't have any working smoke alarms so I feel pretty good about my set up don't know what it is here maybe it is because insurance doesn't care but there are some pretty scary stuff around here

@QuentinRichardsthe2012brony 10 ай бұрын

Looks to me like the difference between the detectors has to do with manufacture location. Some of your detectors were manufactured in Mexico, while some were manufactured in India. All in all, nice work! This is shaping up to be a pretty neat system.

Thank you very much I appreciate the support as many don't like what I have done here. Though I think it is a good thing some don't but oh well. Cost is right around $3000 Canadian that excludes boxes and wire as I already had all the wire and some of the boxes I also already had the panel guts the 320 which is probably another $2000 to $4000 so already having that saved a lot of money

Make use of the feedback, and thank them for it, it makes you better at your job. Home Safety should never be underestimated, that's the reason i installed co2 and smoke detectors in my parents house recently, the dutch law has a obligation for smoke detectors now, i've added co2 as extra. 4000 is a lot of money for a residential project, i hope you had some help financing it.

Hey, I do have a suggestion as far as your garage goes that is built on to your house (if you keep a car or decide to keep a car in that garage at some point) I would install a CO detector in that garage so if the car is left running or unexpectedly fired up, or I guess if something happens in general, because since those L-Series Low-Frequency Sounders have Temp. 4, you would be alerted of a CO condition in that garage. I don't know, just an idea.

You cannot physically fit a car in the garage the temp4 on the sounders is only one or the other you can't use one device to do both codings so it would require separate sounders
