Fire alarm test 60
Hope you guys enjoy!!! This is part two of a 2 part series of tests at a retirement home in my area. This is the second building with a siemens XLS fire alarm panel and ZNS rebrand horn strobes. It also features the crappy siemens pull stations that you can watch me struggle to reset for 10 minutes

Pretty cool! That test was a heck of a test

Remember this: Take your time resetting those next time you do the next inspection.

What a screwed up install! Not to mention badly-designed pulls (def reccomend a T-handled key for those), but the panel can't walktest, the annunciator takes 50 years to do anything, and I don't think the the ZHs were syncing with the LF sounders either... I thought Siemens made their stuff so proprietary to make it harder for crappy installers to use their products, but here we have this! xD

Yikes. I can picture myself resetting a couple of BG-10’s and risk one of them breaking on me, thus replacing it with a 278B-1120.

Yeah those pull stations are a pain in the ass. I have an HMS-S and it’s not always cooperative with me.

No idea why HMS style hex key reset pulls even made it to the Siemens era of Pyrotronics. XMS or the RMS-1T rebrand pulls are way better and resets with spring loaded hex keys or just regular Siemens keys.

it should take a Siemens key on the side like the BG-10L, imo.

I think when you were doing walk test, you had to touch Enable on the panel screen. Thats probably how you Enable is tap on the blue Enable button on the screen instead of the actual buttons.

They should replace all these pull stations with Siemens XMS-D or RMS-1T pull stations because they use a key to reset which is very easy and fast than these slow as heck HMS-D pull stations and that the XMS-D ones work with the FireFinder panels and also I the panel needs a firmware update to allow walktest when there's a trouble condition and easier to navigate to it because that's just dumb to not let you do it when there's a trouble condition with also better responsive interactions with the buttons
