I had a Service call at the State Highway Maintenance Facility and when I arrived I saw they had covered ALL the Strobe lights with blue painters tape and I could see them flashing. They told me they could get the horns to stop but couldn't get the lights to stop. So I got their crew to come back to the panel, I had 1 guy video me showing them what to do in this situation to get the strobes to ...
How To Reset A Fire Alarm Pull Station

I had a service call to reset a pull station. At this school, the Maintance Director left and the secretary inherited many of his responsibilities. For us technicians, resetting a pull station is easy but for this secertary, she had never encountered these situations not to mention all the other responsibilities for the facility. It can be very stressful if the alarm is sounding and everyone is...

Service Call for False Alarm but panel normal
Просмотров 561Год назад
This a typical service call where the customer explains they've had multible false alarms and can't tell you what it was and kept resetting their panel leaving us with very little to go off of. Her I explain some ways to identify the faulty device. Keep in mind this may not always work especially if the Peak values were never reset after an inspection.
Earth Fault Detect Feature, Simplex 4100U and ES
Просмотров 9 тыс.Год назад
This is a quick demonstration on how to use the built in Earth Fault Detect feature on a Simplex 4100U and ES. It doesn't work in all situations but it's worth a try before tearing the panel apart. Please note, this will only work with 4100U ans ES components. 4100Classic and Plus components do not have this feature incorporated so even if you have a 4100U or ES head end and the feature exist, ...

This is another "LIVE" service call. When you get a call and all you get for the description is "Trouble on the panel" and you walk into this. This shows the approach taken to analyze and prioritize in order to attempt to clean up the troubles. It focuses on audio adjustments and amplifier replacement.
4100U TO ES UPGRADE
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.2 года назад
In this video I will upgrade a 4100U to an ES. The customer took a lightning hit, It knocked out 3 4009 IDNAC panels and put an internal ground on the IDNET card. The IDNET card is now obsolete and the replacement is not compatable with the 4100U 12.05.06 software currently running in this panel therefore we need to change the CPU board that supports the version software that supports the repla...

Once again I turned on the camera and did a service call. I like doing this because it's not the "Picture Perfect" classroom instructional video but a live unrehearsed lesson of how it is in the real world when things unexpectedly go wrong and we have to deal with it to get the job done. In this vedio I try to remember how to burn a chip but some glitches with the Wondows 7 machine make it a bi...

Nice investigation work!
I love the 4005 I would like to own one in thw future
I love how clean that wiring is!
Thank you. This was very helpful
Nice ! I am CFAA TRAINEE thats big help to me. Thank you
Got a bunch of these with 10 inch gongs from a local school recently and there were a few that sounded pretty bad like this one. Glad to see there’s an easy way to get them going back to new again.
Hi Friends i hope you are doing well i post on my channel video for simplex Fire alarm Overview i request to all my viewers to share my knowledge to your friends.ruclips.net/video/AaM1_XNdoRI/видео.html
Nice information 🎉
Very awesome video!
Thank you
you could simulate recurring failures that happen in the field, and teach how to solve troubles
I have other videos that explain troubleshooting tip for technicians but I made this one with intent to help the customer
I have many 4005 in service at my buildings. 2 were put in in 2016, one of the last to be put in im sure. Love the video
1:00 On my panel I have "idnet earth fault" but when I go to the diagnosis and click on find it appears "end of list" as if there was no earth fault
A ground on an ID-NET circuit will not effect the ground reference on the system, but isolated only to that ID-NET circuit. It pretty much tells you what circuit that a ground fault exist.
@@firealarmtech4100 There is an earth fault on loop board 2, so I: Select Earth Fault Search. Select the Idnet M2 and found the M2-39 device, which is an idnet isolator, however in the field I checked the isolator module and the connection is not touching any casing or piping
Hello sir. What does 'master a class trouble' mean? How can I reset it?
A master class A trouble means the fire panel has detected an "open" in a circuit that leaves the panel, then returns. If there's a break anywhere in the loop the panel will switch power/communication to the return side of the loop thus back feeding the broken half to maintain integrity. When the break in the wiring has been located and repaired, resetting the fire panel will switch the power/communication back and resume monitoring of the loop.
The coded pull stations have a spring loaded lever
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
keep up with the great work!
Thank you!
@@firealarmtech4100 you are welcome!
@@firealarmtech4100 quick question: do you have any Older brochures Like from the 50s 90s 80s etc. i am a fan of simplex. i know this may be a weird request to ask. I was trying to get in contact with someone that could help out with this request and I'm hoping that you could help me out.
@@firealarmtech4100 you are very welcome!
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
Hey Ray someone’s smokin in the boys room.
I love your videos ! !
Thank you
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.
Good Information, thanks!
@@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).
I am working on one that explains how to test CO detectors on a Simplex panel, should be out soon!
So you're not making fire alarm videos anymore ? Been a year now.
I've transfered to another area that doesn't have all the interesting and latest equipment and large buildings with networks so finding content is rather challenging. Thank you for reminding me, I've just put a few up and hopefully I will have more time to work on this channel.
Was the 2120 system saved?
Not sure, I'm not in that area anymore but I heard it's still on the wall but not in service
I wonder why the Johnson Control technicians didn’t share this information with me.
Because they don't know either, the company focuses on doing their jobs safely.
I'm having this exact issue, thank you very much.
Bet that was a fun job. The shoddy wiring, the reprogramming, the fact the panel needed to be replaced. I would be having fun with that job and my OCD would make me want to completely re-wire the panel to fix it back to how it was supposed to be. I wouldn’t be surprised if the bad wiring was part of the reason the panel lost its programming. However, i think it may have to do with the flash memory or ram chip being on its way out.
Is it possible to put a TG7 or HWF2COM or any other cell communicator on these 4002's?
There are Alarm and Trouble contacts that can be used
Does the mic still work when the system is in alarm
YES! When you key the mic when the fire alarm system is in alarm the message stops and the mic takes priority. Depending on how the system is programmed, the pre recorded alarm message will resume when the mic is uk keyed.
@@firealarmtech4100 cool!
Hi how to remove ground negative fult
Hello sir I have 4100u and I faced some issues. Will you help me?
Mantaf bro..
Can you make a video for the 4090-9008 switched from the one you have in this video?
The 4090-9008 tells you what the contacts(C NO NC) are on the module where the older control/signal zams just had the terminal strip marked 1-10. The video on the old style zam was made to identify what the terminals represented.
Good stuff! I myself am a high school student looking for a career with SimplexGrinnell. I already have contacts inside simplex and will soon send a video of a 4007ES Demo board i put together to the contact in hopes i can maybe get a summer job with simplex in the field of fire alarm installation, testing, and repair so that I can begin my career while in college.
Cool stuff! The command abbreviation reminds me of the Motorola trunked controllers, lot faster to type the shortened versions, and most were single letters.
thanks for sharing tips for FACP
cooler than the 2001? My city still has atleast, four, simplex 2001 panels left
2001 is bulletproof
@@Rgidhkfel, my city has a few, 2001 panels left too. Why does this 2120 have a march time card for a 2001?
The 2120 used the audio components from the 2001 at the time
@@firealarmtech4100 , so it had the 2001 style march time, same tone generators, different voice tone of the same message, but clearly the same guy who did the message.
@@OrthodoxChristianBeliever yes, it utilized the 2001 tone generators and audio controller and the message was from a tape machine that later was upgraded to a digital box. The messages were custom recorded at the factory
Can you do a video of programming a detectors?
is it possible to extract audio backup from the audio controller?
im from, brazil. I don't have any more backup, it's just running what's on the panel.
No, but you can create your audio files in the programmer.
@@Rgidhkfel As I understand it, I can't use the common .wav audio file. Can I create a file of this format directly in the progammer? Because I don't have any backup with the exact audio I need, I have similar ones.
True, a wav file won’t work. Back in 4100U school, some of the techs that were computer savvy were able to modify wav files and import them. The default library in the programmer should have just about everything you need to create a custom message. You would have to contact a JCI (Simplex) sales rep to order a custom message.
is this an older video? its 144p on my end
I had a wonderful customer who volunteered to take this video with his phone. Don’t know anything about the phone so don’t know the quality.
@@Rgidhkfel ah I see. Still a super cool video! Large simplex panels are awesome!
@@FourtyFiftyEighty i agree
2 vids in one day? Awesome!
Very interesting as always. I would really like to have an internship at Simplex and then turn that into a paying job.
Thanks for video
Thank you sir.
Very cool video. I really wanna become a simplex tech myself so i can learn these panels and mess around with them and make systems work for clients of all types. I do though have a question about es.exe: I was modifying my simplex 4007es demo board and reprogramming it with its matching programmer (6.01.03). One day the computer decided it didn’t want to connect to the 4007es when i decided to dump in a new config. I used an ethernet cable which was connected correctly and the service jumper was in the proper position. A restart of my pc fixed the issue. What exactly could’ve caused es.exe to act up like it did, and have you had the same problem?
Yes, rebooting seems to work for me but most of the newer “hybrid” 4007’s the Ethernet ports don’t work and you have to download using the usb method
This is why I wanna work for JCI Simplex. I wanna learn how all this works. There’s just something about this stuff that just really draws my interest. Gotta ask though: - What caused the dials to get out of whack?
You the man Ray. That’s why I don’t do service calls been there done that.
Great video.
Love when the office gives us the service ticket that only says “trouble on panel”. Never know what you are walking into.
@FireAlarm Tech Did you have to burn another chip to reconfig or can that panel use a port? Can reburning chips also be used on the 2120?
Just the eprom, the exec chip stays the same unless you are upgrading the system rev. That generation did not have port for downloading/uploading. Later models utilized a port and would burn a flash chip.
Always about the big picture. Thats how I would do it. I would always look at everything and do what I can to eliminate future service calls and make life easier for the next tech.
