I wanna learn to bend conduit and flush mount all the rough in so I can do a clean job haha. As of right now my demo systems are all surface mount in my hobby room. Your cable management in the panel is clean btw! Very satisfying. Excited to see the programming and testing portion!

@CG-1000-T 10 ай бұрын

The system you are installing is very similar to what replaced the old system at my school only my school has a conventional system since that is what used to be there and my school is flipping tiny. The panel is an FCI S3 that is in the worst location for a panel, a high traffic hallway that is as wide as a non walk in closet, the panel is a flush mount but had a surface mount install. The old panel was the rare FCI FC-72 which worked perfectly and could be easily expanded if they could get an extra zone cards. The old system had a ton of character but it lost it all when it got replaced. It was quite scary when it went off but now it sounds lame. It was a mix and match but not anymore, the only signs of what it was is the very old simplex heat detectors.

if you wanted to link to the garage you could use two conventional monitor modules triggered by relays on each panel then use a keyswitch to disable for testing that changes over to an eol resistor when off so no faults.

@nics-systems-electric 10 ай бұрын

Yes you could do that the problem is that fire alarm condition is always latching so you'd need to silence and reset both systems and that is why I'd do supervisory set as resettable so it would not require both systems to be reset

No carbon monoxide detectors as there is no danger of it and there is no security system and no dialler because there are no phone lines in the house nor do monitoring companies except residential customers other than self monitored where they will tell you your system is an alarm with a text message but I already do that with my own set up in the garage system

Again I don't know Canadian but I don't think the incoming Lumex ground going straight into the panel is proper. If the panel is removed now the enclosure and all your devices lose their ground bond. I believe best practice would be running the incoming ground to a dedicated point on the enclosure like you would do for any other electrical box.

@nics-systems-electric 10 ай бұрын

Yes the Can should be bonded before going into the power supply it wasn't at the time of the video as I didn't have the nut for the stud or a ground bar I've sense have added a ground bar threaded into the can where all the bonds come to and the ground conductor from the Lummex goes through first

Yes it's a Canadian requirement where if there is more than one device requiring end of line supervision the end of line device is supposed to be in its own box and cover. end of line resistor should not hurt the panel it should not be left there but when doing swap overs it's pretty common for the SLC to be powered up with end of lines still in place

It is not illegal at all in fact it's very common for multiple buildings to be tied to the same system. If it's one system for multiple buildings SLC Hass to be isolated at each building and each building needs its own NAC circuit and if it's a networked system with each building having its own it Hass to be capable of providing full function for the building even in the event the network fails it has to operate as the local system still. As far as what I'm doing I will not be tying it in for alarm but may tie it in for supervisory eventually.
