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 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
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'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 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.
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!
@@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
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
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
Classic Nic doing Nic things got to love seeing what will happen next lol!!!

"I don't think it's cooked enough" is crazy 💀

Was it NewAgeServerAlarm?
" I don't think it's cooked enough " Nic Durability Testing 🗿🗿🗿
Yes I have waited for a video like this
*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...
That fixed temp disk popped off quick. That’s one hot torch.
Lets gooooooo 🤩 Nic's out with another new vid 🤩
Loved it 😊
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
5:28 that was so fast
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.
How I test my heat detector: rub hands together fast and hit the detector
You went full marshmallow on it!
5:20 Okay that got me to laugh out loud LOL
Nice video. I just got a red door for my red cabinet with my NFS2-640.
Please keep up the videos thank you to you is am getting a great er appreciation of how the alarms work !!
Nice Phantom
Great real testing video! Definitely a neat video!
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
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.
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:)

Can you do more durability testing videos and durability test a fire alarm strobe/horn combo?
Probably not
@@nics-systems-electric Ok, so were there any problems with those videos?

Probably won't do any anymore
😢 Aw man, they were awesome. RIP Durability Testing 2022 - 2024 😢
Used up a bit of my mobile Data but I couldnt wait till I got home..
Is that a heat detector I sold? I recognize that dent
I didn't buy it
Very interesting bc i wanna lern fire alarms
Best channel ever
I had a lockdown drill at school today

It seems building need to install fire alarms to detect when the fire alarm is on fire
I like my heat detector medium rare :)
I like mines burnt
Lol
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
time for durability test LoL
Very intresting, nice Video Btw!
Love your channel
when the heat detecttor fixed tem pops it can catch you off by suprise if your not expecting it
Interesting, I just assumed they were all just thermistor based detectors
- 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.
Everyone has those forgetful times
Very cool as always

The closest we have gotten to durability testing. What happened to durability testing?
Probably won't happen again

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 🔥.
EHH thats resetable

This is dumb
Just like your channel...
Why does nic get so much hate?? What did he do??
@@nics-systems-electricfr his videos have barely any views and what does "hilofiopf" mean 😂😂😂😂
don't watch it then
@@nics-systems-electric ?
That is will blow out the disk ?
How I test, put in camp fire
I love this channel
Could you do a video of setting a smoke alarm and pull station on fire and see if those active?
"Don't Try this at Home!" *Proceeds to try at home*
Can you burn a house smoke alarm? Kidde kn cope ic? I41618ac?
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!
Now do a fire alarm
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
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
I love this channel
6:30 lol
charred detector 😋😋😋😋
The only way to test a heat
Do a train gate video Please Nick
Maybe one day
I subscribed to your RUclips channel
Thank you
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
First
no ur not
cringe, no ur not
Why did you activate that heat protector neck?
What?
"heat protector neck" 😂😂😂 what does that mean
