Cool! My school had old fire bells too! It was replaced with spec alert advances in 2016 when I was in 3rd grade. They had also changed the pulll station to notifier bg12s. And I’m pretty sure there is one classic in the boiler room but I’m not sure. Now I’m in 8th grade and the alarms in that school are old Edwards alarms. With notifier bg12s as the pull station and the newer part of the building and renovated classrooms mostly science has spec alert advances. My preschool also had spec alert advances as well.
How many people were involved with this project? Really nice and cool videos!! Maybe next time they let you be part of the programming phase!! Do they used blue prints for the design and devices addressing? Stay safe and have fun!!!! ...
Most of the replacement there was me and three electricians and one or two fire alarm techs. Not sure how I could show the programming as I’m usually not involved with that because I am usually working on the physical side throughout the school and they create the program a head of time sometimes and then just dump it into the panel and yes there was a map of what Devices had what address throughout the building
@@nics-systems-electric that's really cool I like being involved with every phase but I prefer programming the most!! Cool videos thanks for sharing!! Stay safe and have fun!! ...
@@lumenfirealarms nice I would love to see the programming however if they do it offsite I can’t really see it. Still fun to be part of the system replacements
They are not really needed in this school but we replace what was existing they are only needed above drop ceiling if they are flame rated tiles I believe
In my area the duct detectors technically fall under the jurisdiction of the HVAC/R company, so in an instance like this we would just install a monitor module, and if the unit actually needed replacement, we would notify the HVAC/R company
15:50 That Air handler has a really cool sound at startup! And about that Edwards duct detector in that other supply fan, why is that one not compatible with the system?

Nice work! I'm curious how many addressable detectors per zone, due to the limitations of the ISO6a card. Also your annunciator were in programming mode. Probably one of the dip switches wasn't sitting correctly and was rubbed against in the cabinet.
Not sure what the limit is Per zone not sure about that annunciator The technicians took it down two or three times and looked into it and could not find what was wrong with it
@@nics-systems-electric I know the specs say about 25 detectors per isolated zone. Sometimes after that they start dropping off the loop,hopefully no follow up service calls for your crew
Am I missing something? Obviously the smokes are connected using flex conduit in that drop ceiling, are they in any way marked as fire conduit red markings or not required where this was?
@@nics-systems-electric The thing is, old fire alarm signals (i.e. bells and electromechanical horns) are usually noticeably louder than modern fire alarm signals (including electronic horn/strobes.)
I have a question If I bought a fire alarm and I did nothing to it and there was a fire would it go off or do I have to actually hook it up for it to go off at all
Hi mate how are u OK mate keep up the good work on here mate keep up the good work on here mate keep up the good work on here mate keep up the good work on here mate form Greg bouchard
I don't think schools where I live need push stations or whatever there name is I only see them in offices or maintenance rooms otherwise they will be lock seems safe
This is better than my schools EST Edwards singling technology fire alarm system. My school has no trouble with EST Edwards singling technology surprisingly even though that company has a lot of failures with there fire alarm systems I’m surprised that my school fire alarm system didn’t fail even though it is an EST Edwards singling technology system that tends to fail a lot.
THis brings me back. The building I attended the first half of elementary school and the whole of middle school was built in the fifties. The whole bell and fire-alarm system was upgraded in the mid nineties, but they decided to retain the out door bells. The indoor bells remained , but like much of the old tech in the building, they were only disconnected, never removed. The hallways still had the massive electric air heaters that were made obsolete by HVAC. The building still exists, but has since become the school district's administration building, where as the gyms have been opened up to city use. It saddens me knowing that the unique underground locker rooms have since been bricked over for safety reasons.
Could take months if you were starting in a brand-new building and had to do all the pipework and mount all the boxes run all the wire install all of the devices from nothing could certainly take a while but for retrofit like this it’s not too long depends how many problems you run into
Crazy how strobes have never been a requirement till recently

Is it a Canadian code to put heat detectors above drop ceiling? I’ve never seen it in the US. It definitely makes sense!
They are not really needed in this school but we replace what was existing they are only needed above drop ceiling if they are flame rated tiles I believe
my school has same roof entrance
Now i know how Leo Hayes high school replaced their fire alarms w long time ago
Two spiders is more than one spider 🕷️
the school needs a stop and go system
Great voice there Nic. You should sing more often! 😉
my school has those Same bells
@8:26 2 things one why was ther a lady in the mens restroom? 2 are you scared of spiders?
Because she’s working with us installing the system and I am not afraid of spiders
Spider in a urinal, the new hit song!
Did they ever let you take some of the alarms home?
Yes I take the old stuff that I want

Did They give you the bells??? Pickel 700
I took the ones I wanted and threw out the rest
Out with the old, and in with the new. I hope more full system replacements will be done in the future. 😊
Hopefully you took that bell at 9:58 and used it on something else. It would be sad you disposing it.
I kept it but it’ll probably just sit there until it either gets sold or durability tested or just sits there forever who knows
what did you do with the bells after replaced
I kept most of them
Very cool
