Dude has backup lights and a monitored fire alarm system and strobe in the shed. Man we should all be this protected.

No kidding. But it is major overkill lol so much redundancy

@nics-systems-electric 3 ай бұрын

The only redundancy is emergency lighting as it's not needed when the generator is there however it's still nice to still have light during the 20 seconds before the generator starts as it allows me to still move around and stop whatever I'm doing safely

@@nics-systems-electricI have a demo system in my room - one board , messy and two systems in my house one basement and one my bedroom and the one in my bedroom is the P2R/W L on code 3 no sync module but the P2R/Wls don’t need sync modules on 2 devices

@officer_potato9118 3 ай бұрын

Some people would say having commercial-grade safety systems installed in a residential structure is redundant and unnecessary. Way i see it as thats probably the most fire safe house in your county, and its your house, you do what you want with it. I would love to do something like this myself to my house honestly. Problem is i dont own one yet 😂. At the bare minimum if that equipment never really helps you in an incident [though I know at least the power backup and emergency lighting systems have], the experience and knowledge gained from doing all that work - very clean and professionally done by the way - is more valuable than all of the equipment monetary costs combined. Love to see it. Be back for the next one.

09:25 For a second I thought your Garage Building B fire alarm system went off again from a detector that randomly activated like from last time but it turns out it's from the System Sensor P2W horn strobe installed in some sort of storage room of your house where that exit sign is as it kinda creates confusion when you're outside and the fire alarm goes in in the garage or in the house as it's confusing of which system activated as to better avoid that confusion replace the P2W with an L-Series set on the 3K tone because it allows you to tell the difference of which System activated but in a minor part of your house when you're outside as the 3K tone isn't needed on the garage System because they're a major part of the building. And this can be useful to tell the difference if both systems activated at the same time

@eDoc2020 3 ай бұрын

@@nics-systems-electric Almost all openers (except some of the latest models) just use dry contacts for the wall button. Add a magnetic reed switch (to tell if the door is closed or not) and then a relay could activate the button. That should be reliable enough but won't work if the door is only partially open. A more reliable way could be to hold the safety sensor circuit open while the alarm is active and pulse the button. That should only fail if the door is already moving the moment the alarm comes in.

Yeah it's a requirement for generators supplying life safety power for a fully legal generator it needs to be supervised for running as well as low fuel and other trouble conditions in order for it to be considered a legal power source that will change your fire alarm battery calculations

And what I found on Page 12 of the manual, it says that when it is flashing "Signals Silenced" like that it means that there are some outputs that are off and some that are on. And that's due to the fact that you have the NAC 3 set on something else so right now it is not energized with an Alarm state like NAC 1 & 2 are.
