One time, I saw a video on here with one of the enthusiasts who did his home system. He went to test the heat detector and accidentally permanently activated it. When he swore and used the alarm sounds to censor himself, I couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes.
Whoa that disc popped fast. Always wondered growing up though; if I pulled on the disc of one of these detectors to the point where the disc actually broke off would that also latch the unit into alarm?
I'm really curious about the "Leave on, do not turn off" written on the light switch in the cupboard just next to the FAP in the house. By chance, is this feeding power to the panel?
The fire alarm panel is a dedicated circuit the switch is switching a receptacle that use to be power for the furnace would've been a disconnect now is just powering condensate pump and fire door magnet and furnace shut down control but it can and likely will be removed at some point
I'm guessing you are referring to addressable units. the fact they aren't one time use fixed temperature is nice however even on brand new installs we will often go for mechanical conventional units due to better reliability if they are being installed in a harsh environment such as an attic or crawlspace
This video was great for reasearch purposes now I don't have to set of the fire sprinkler or something congratulations please keep up the videos I think I said before I wanted to major in fire protection but had trouble taking classes I am moving glad that I am elpoyjyed a grocery store for a short time I sold smoke alarms and fire extinguishers but it was month highly successful but my bussin essence successes were possible because I did manage to have good consultant I actually made a custom fire alarm math ought you can bet it's illegal to sell!
Hey Nic, love your vids on your garage system, but I have a question. When are you and Hayden gonna post another Durability Testing video? Those videos you and Hayden do are just pure comedy and makes me laugh. I was hoping you would test a device that doesn't work or that you don't use.
- I have seen sometimes a Notifier smoke detector will randomly poll green very rapidly for 1-2 seconds. Why is this? I see some detectors in a building do it more than others.
we use a heat gun and just keep it moveing works well in the building my system is in you arnt allowed to use any device that makes a flame we now have to propress pluming etc
@@nics-systems-electric why not? I know there are many reasons that could be the reason but what are the reason(s) that apply to your circumstances. Can you reupload the ones that were taken down?
@@nics-systems-electric so demographics have changed. Interesting. As for fire alarm field content, you plan to work for a bigger company that covers bigger places? I love watching those kinds of vids as they help me prepare for work in the field. I’m going to trade school soon myself.
@@achannelwithnopurpose1977 I've got 3 years of electrical apprenticeship first before I go more specific into specific area of the electrical field not sure at the moment where I'm planning to go
At 1: 17 The rise in temperature of 8.3°C or 15°F will trip the rate of rise not fix temperature my apologies for the misspoken explanation.
wasnt that on your old system from 3 years ago
"I don't think it's cooked enough" is crazy 💀
Classic Nic doing Nic things got to love seeing what will happen next lol!!!

Was it NewAgeServerAlarm?
" I don't think it's cooked enough " Nic Durability Testing 🗿🗿🗿
Yes I have waited for a video like this
I love watching nic’s video’s
Great real testing video! Definitely a neat video!
Lets gooooooo 🤩 Nic's out with another new vid 🤩
Loved it 😊
I love this channel
Nic thank you for this video. Now I'll buy the residential version for my home garage. And I'll tie into the main system at home.
That fixed temp disk popped off quick. That’s one hot torch.
Best channel ever
Nice video. I just got a red door for my red cabinet with my NFS2-640.
Very cool as always
Please keep up the videos thank you to you is am getting a great er appreciation of how the alarms work !!
Nice Phantom
Love your channel
Very intresting, nice Video Btw!
Very interesting bc i wanna lern fire alarms
Whoa that disc popped fast. Always wondered growing up though; if I pulled on the disc of one of these detectors to the point where the disc actually broke off would that also latch the unit into alarm?
It seems like that can do it from what I've seen with the Edwards ones at least
Used up a bit of my mobile Data but I couldnt wait till I got home..
*Accidentally lights the wood above the detector on fire*
That wasn't supposed to happen
I know you have a fire extinguisher, but. COMMON SENSE, dude.
Wait till you see how plumbers have to solder copper...
You went full marshmallow on it!

I subscribed to your TH-cam channel
Thank you
June test idea:
House: master bedroom smoke
Garage: Main area smoke
This isn't on the June testing video so I won't see the comment when I look back in a month
What’s the controls active light for on the 320C?
I believe it's used when you have an annunciator where the controls can be enabled or disabled
Do you have to always call local FD when you do tests like these or are they not programmed to get notified?
It’s a local alarm only, it does not dial 911
Hey nic wen you activated the detector when you went to the panel screen it said pull station is that a problem
I'd suggest you look at it a little closer. it says pull station/heat tower/shed.
Everyone has those forgetful times
ours are 194 F for the attic sensors but ours are the new resettable units the one you show are no longer code in my area and they are replaced:)

That was supposed to say manual
Please pardon typos
The only way to test a heat
I was at a metal concert in Calgary at the front door, they had something called fire alarm, sub panel

Probably won't do any anymore
😢 Aw man, they were awesome. RIP Durability Testing 2022 - 2024 😢
I had a lockdown drill at school today
Interesting, I just assumed they were all just thermistor based detectors
It seems building need to install fire alarms to detect when the fire alarm is on fire
EHH thats resetable
when the heat detecttor fixed tem pops it can catch you off by suprise if your not expecting it
time for durability test LoL
Is that a heat detector I sold? I recognize that dent
I didn't buy it
- I have seen sometimes a Notifier smoke detector will randomly poll green very rapidly for 1-2 seconds. Why is this? I see some detectors in a building do it more than others.
They just do that every so often not sure why
@@nics-systems-electric hmm, interesting.
Now do a fire alarm
I like my heat detector medium rare :)
I like mines burnt
Do a train gate video Please Nick
Maybe one day
wow
I haven't gotten a shoutout yet man
Can you burn a house smoke alarm? Kidde kn cope ic? I41618ac?
I think you should put a CO detector in the generator building
Why? You don't really install detectors where there isn't human occupancy.
@@nics-systems-electric I think he means like if there's a co2 leak
we use a heat gun and just keep it moveing works well in the building my system is in you arnt allowed to use any device that makes a flame we now have to propress pluming etc
That sounds like a huge pain to not be allowed flame for anything
@@nics-systems-electric its do to it being built in 1979 and is an all wood structure and the fire dept does not want it to go up
6:30 lol
Why did you activate that heat protector neck?
What?
"heat protector neck" 😂😂😂 what does that mean
@@MutedFireSafetyAlarmsOfficial that's what I'm wondering
Same @@nics-systems-electric
@@MutedFireSafetyAlarmsOfficial idk
The closest we have gotten to durability testing. What happened to durability testing?
Probably won't happen again
@@nics-systems-electric why not? I know there are many reasons that could be the reason but what are the reason(s) that apply to your circumstances. Can you reupload the ones that were taken down?

nic... nic..nic.. you are under cooking your detector its supposed to be in 230c for 10 mins!
It should actually be 320c for 640 seconds!
charred detector 😋😋😋😋
Love these videos nic. its so funny when you destroy things especially that 270-spo durability test video 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. you should set an mb1024 on fire 🔥.
