One of the things to know about the Siemens HMS-D style pull stations (like the one shown in the vid): even though the pull handle has a spring, the handle can get stuck on older/dirtier pulls. No idea why that’s the case but you may have to manually push the pull handle back up. One thing to know about the Notifier/Fire-lite/Honeywell BG-10 models is that it was recalled due to the screw reset breaking the pull station plastic. One thing to know about the BG12 models of Honeywell pulls is that you don’t need to flip the switch back up. The pull is designed to automatically flip the switch back up by itself (I’m not joking. It’s true!). One thing to know about the Edwards 270 style pulls is that it’s easy to strip the “tamper proof” security screw on top of the newer models.
@@firealarmtech4100 I would also like to know if any more service call vids are coming or if you are gonna show some inspections soon. Even though I have a bunch of knowledge about fire alarm hardware, I’m not yet a tech. I’m still an enthusiast looking to get into the field. I’m still hoping to get into the field one day as I have fun tinkering with fire alarm devices (I bought my own from eBay).
A lot of people say that on the notifier bg12 pull stations you don’t have to many flip the switch from alarm to normal, if you just open and close it, it will automatically flip the switch for you
Nice ! I am CFAA TRAINEE thats big help to me. Thank you

I am working on one that explains how to test CO detectors on a Simplex panel, should be out soon!
Very awesome video!
Thank you
Thank you. This was very helpful

How would you reset the Simplex pull station with your car key ? Is this a trick question ?
I don't know, how? This could help someone who has lost or can't find a "B" key.
Could you insert something like a key or maybe a pocket knife below the t-bar and push the button in letting the t-bar go back up ?@@firealarmtech4100
