Thanks. I currently have Smoke Saber and Smoke Centurion and I alternate between them from test to test. Also I ended up blowing out the detector with canned air but it wasn’t shown in the video for time reasons.
The system in my area that is common (other than firelite/notifier and system sensor) is a firelite addressable system with wheelock notification appliances
My setup is set up though when there's no power. This my box actually it's the lights and brings a bell my room to tell me there's no power. It sort of works or doesn't work but it worked great the last time I used it. May 2021 because there was a tornado warning issued. I'm a heavy sleeper that Bell is only going to wake me up. And the weather where you go off crazy it's a good thing to have.
That video was taking on my birthday! By the way, your MTL is 110CD? What's the model No. for the 110CD models? I've never seen any other youtuber with an 110CD Cerberus Pyrotronics MTL.
Cool video man! Do you have the LED on your 2098-9806 key switch directly wired to a NAC on your ms5ud? Have you had it wired like that for a while on your old house system test series? Thank you for your help!
At my grandparents house 🏠.The exit sign was on.not the emergency lights. The power lines got strucked by lightning ⚡ and the exit sign combo stays on when the power goes out
Both the AS and NS are two wire alarms. They are able to be audibly silenced with Wheelock’s sync protocol; which the Fire-Lite MS-9200UDLS is capable of and was set to in this video.
@@ExitSign250 Very cool! Thanks for the quick response :) ! I'll look into how this works, I think it's pretty interesting! I think your videos are great, keep up the good work!
@@ExitSign250 Sorry for bothering you, but I have one more question. I recently purchased a Wheelock 31T, which, if I recall correctly, is an AC horn. I have a DC panel, so I'm not exactly sure how I would make that work with my DC panel. Do you have any idea on how I could do that?
@CrappyPastry99 Hey again! No worries, you aren’t bothering me at all. Unfortunately with an AC horn it cannot be used with panels with DC outputs. However, if your panel has an alarm relay, you can connect your horn to it with an AC power supply if the relay is rated for it. While this method will allow the horn to sound when the panel is in alarm, you cannot silence or change the coding as the alarm relay is triggered when the panel is in alarm and resets when the panel resets. I hope this makes a bit of sense and feel free to ask anymore questions!
In North America most smoke detectors on fire alarm systems do not have any built in sounders. However you can get some with a sounder base or internal sounder. These are mostly common in hotel, dorm, or other sleeping rooms.
@@ExitSign250 ok mate, we get sounders in ours quite a lot (Apollo, Gent, Roshni to name a few, (fire alarm brands we have in the UK) Pull stations (aka call points) (idk the actual names) KAC Call Point, Apollo XP95 Call Point, and this one old one I forgot the name of, it’s the old push to break glass one, while the first two are push to activate but u can reset them
Surprised the alarms didn't freak out after the power outage... I did a whoopsie when I was doing work on a locker box and pulled the power cord for a power cycle... Didn't realize it was also powering the firelite system. First thing I notice is beeping which I thought was weird for the locker and the alarms go off. Plugged it back in but no one said anything... I'm guessing I'm not the first person to fuck that up.
Most of the time the only thing that will happen is the control panel will beep in trouble indicating an AC fault. Older systems can have issues where the alarms will sound in a power failure which isn’t by design.
How much current does the system draw when it’s in alarm? I imagine the batteries would drain quite a bit while the fire alarms are going off compared to a normal state.
Good question. I’m not sure of that information on the top of my head, and it varies depending on what devices are installed. Fire alarm code requires alarms to sound and flash for a minimum of 15 minutes if the system is operating on the backup batteries. So in theory it should at least last around that time.
i have a house and i want to install a fire alarm system but im not a profesional and i dont know what things i need so its not gonna be easy to install
Fire alarm can still go off because when I was at school the power went out then a few mins later the fire alarm go off then they say disregard the fire alarm and every since the power when out the fire alarm kept turn on and they have to keep say disregard the fire alarm and it only happened in the morning when we are waiting outside
2:07
“It’s currently installed in the pull station.... location on my demo system”
Idk why but I thought this was hilarious
Looks like so many people are doing tests with Wheelock Ns’s this weekend. Nice video!
Thanks! Haha yeah that’s just a funny coincidence. I’ve had the devices planned for this system test for a few weeks now.
We had a bad storm to
Very nice! I loved the small clips in the beginning and end.
Thanks! Yeah I wanted to try out something new. Thanks for the feedback!
I've always wondered how fire alarm systems would operate during a power outage. Got this idea when one of my schools lost power
Yep. Fire alarm systems are required to remain functional in a power outage for a minimum of 24 hours. (At least in the US)
Cool. It’s neat to see a system function with no power and no way to restore power. Great video! The intro and ending was cool! :)
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Batteries are chad
Great no power test. I have different kinds of smoke detector testers including smoke sabre. I also use compressed gas duster to blow the smoke out
Thanks. I currently have Smoke Saber and Smoke Centurion and I alternate between them from test to test. Also I ended up blowing out the detector with canned air but it wasn’t shown in the video for time reasons.
Great video as always that intro was really cool 👍
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Lovely to me
Wait, I’m subscribe to him that one. TH-camr you have all the fire alarms and security systems ¿right?
You’re awesome at fire alarm videos!
Probably one of the coolest tests I’ve seen
Do your neighbors get mad!?
Haha, usually they don’t!
Great us system!! The netherlands.
@@ExitSign250 hi
THAT INTRO WAS SO SICK
I think the AS and the NS sound amazing together.
Very nice. I think this is one of the best tests you’ve made, well done.
Great test! Love the neat editing!
Thank you! I wanted to experiment and try something different.
The system in my area that is common (other than firelite/notifier and system sensor) is a firelite addressable system with wheelock notification appliances
That cerberus pyrotronics sounds like a siemens UMMT! Interesting
That's my favorite alarm!
I'm impressed you're able to operate a fire alarm system in no power!
Awesome system test! I enjoyed this one!
Thank you very much! I’m glad you liked it!
That’s some quality stock footage there in the beginning.
We had a tornado warning 4 days ago while I was in a different house for the weekend. The Power didn’t cut though but it did start flickering
My setup is set up though when there's no power. This my box actually it's the lights and brings a bell my room to tell me there's no power. It sort of works or doesn't work but it worked great the last time I used it. May 2021 because there was a tornado warning issued. I'm a heavy sleeper that Bell is only going to wake me up. And the weather where you go off crazy it's a good thing to have.
Great test! I did really like the intro!
I hear the AS more than the NS. I wish they were seperated. then you could hear it better.
Hey. What happened to your old power outage videos?
question was this a real power outage or did you use the shutoff sergeant at the breaker
That video was taking on my birthday! By the way, your MTL is 110CD? What's the model No. for the 110CD models? I've never seen any other youtuber with an 110CD Cerberus Pyrotronics MTL.
lol this vid was taken on my 20th bday! Great video!

great editing on the power Failure scene, Really grabs attention
Thank you!
nice bro. I really liked this one
Isn’t this your second power outage test with the ms 5ud
Not sure. I don’t remember making one before, but I might’ve.
@@ExitSign250 link to power outage video you made:th-cam.com/video/J_jp4eHLbG4/w-d-xo.html
4:45 the trouble light with the lights off looks scary
That was one hell of a sweet intro
At my grandparents house 🏠.The exit sign was on.not the emergency lights.
The power lines got strucked by lightning ⚡ and the exit sign combo stays on when the power goes out
Ohh really cool video!! I enjoy your videos!! Stay safe and have fun!! ...
Love Code 3 alarm sound
What if you tried to make almost every spot a strobe and had none of them synchronized so when the system goes off it’s just flashing lights galore
What would you do if you had a air raid siren
How does it work at No power?! I throughly the fire alarm panel was working
Quick question: are the AS and NS alarms the 4 wire variants? If not, how are the strobes still flashing if the alarm is silenced?
Both the AS and NS are two wire alarms. They are able to be audibly silenced with Wheelock’s sync protocol; which the Fire-Lite MS-9200UDLS is capable of and was set to in this video.

How do they still work if there’s no power in just wondering
Ser safety from where did you get that lighter i want one
its exitsign250 not s.e.r safety..
Do the smoke detectors actually make sound?

How did the power go off?
i have a house and i want to install a fire alarm system but im not a profesional and i dont know what things i need
so its not gonna be easy to install
Scary lightning 🌩
That one alarm on the far side sounds like a UMMT horn strobe
And I really like how those panels connected
I wish I could do all this stuff
was the whole system including the fire alarms running off of the battery?
Yep! Those batteries power the entirety of the system.
@@ExitSign250 Cool! Nice video by the way
Hey exitsing250 you are the friend of ser safety.
0:14
Omg when the power went out, it scared me🤯
I have one of the wheelocks but one of them is old
0:16 fire alarms: why is the power out?
was this a stage power outage?
I am adding a new system to my office. What fire devices do you recommend?
I live in Colorado, USA. Fire central
The power went cutoff and my exit sign/emergency light combo turned on and the exit sign stayed on
Stay safe out there my friend!
Fire alarm can still go off because when I was at school the power went out then a few mins later the fire alarm go off then they say disregard the fire alarm and every since the power when out the fire alarm kept turn on and they have to keep say disregard the fire alarm and it only happened in the morning when we are waiting outside
I had a power outage while I was watching this.
How does the fire alarm work in 0 Power
The panels have battery backup.
I got a bg12 lx addressable pull station for my birthday
They sound pretty cool like the ones at my elementary school I believe
And 7:35 sounds like the ones at the mall I go to (the white one does)
The beeping makes me think about that weird beeping at the McDonald's kitchen
That's actually true, and that's facts.
0:15 power went out because it’s thunderstorm
No shit Sherlock
I like how it sounds like a Siemens ummt
10:19 would this scare u?
Wait is this the new vidoe
love it
cool test
Do a new series called: board 3
Where you use both boards
Can i look system test 11
2nd system made me think: vibein during the fire alarm
Well that's cool!
Cool I’ve had bad storms before and lost power
At 7:29 the 2nd is in White and red
Nice Video
The volume of this video was very low. Hard to hear your.
My audio levels are fine. The issue must be on your end.
How dose it work when there's no power
External power box battery
My area had two thunderstorms nothing new just normal, feel really bad towards the west coast where summers get hot and people don't save their power
Damn p yo exercise 250 can you send me do you have a bb8 with the key and the Chipmunks 499 no singplex 499-499l
Last Thursday my power went out because of so many people using the air conditioning
should I make a Instant gram account
Why is there electricity?
It by the emergency lights and the fire panel battery 🔋
What what happen?
Good morning to all
The exit sign one on
Ac power loss
How to light ur room in a power outage: get bigger building fire alarm and pull it
Fire alarm pulled at tornado warning
Yeah, I say so has no Wi-Fi single I know you’re neighbors probably got mad because yeah and pretty much It was calling the cop sometimes I think
I know all about fire alarms that I made want myself by hand
Im traumatized by the genesis
A powder outage happened like that
I’m impressed how much money he gets he literally has 3 panels and an anuncinater that’s like $4,000 like oml
No power
The power went out in my grandparents house
10:07 that is pretty ironic
Panels: what the heck is happen ing?!?!?
