- I will show you how to recognise and test different sprinkler system installations that exist in Australia for non-assisted sprinkler system. ( No electric or diesel pump connection.)
Im a 1st year Sprinkler apprentice and this is amazing to learn from! Thanks alot :)
Very useful video for new beginner who want to learn how to do testing in fire service.thank you for sharing your experience
Watching from Al Khafji Saudi Arabia 🙏
Great videos mate !
Wow nakapanood din ng 30sec. Ads 😂... Keep watching and support from Al Khafji Saudi Arabia especially Ads...
Galing! 🙏 🙏 🙏 very big opportunity na ang nae experience ni Kabayan Fire Alarm and Fire Protection 🙏🙏🙏
Bless Friday from Al Khafji Saudi Arabia keep watching and Support Filipino Vlogger
HuWow! Bakit huli na Kita nakilala Kuya Elmer... Deluge System din ang mine maintenance namin sa offshore dati hehe... Thanks po sa very informative vlog! Libre na ito 😂😂😂
Hehehe. Mahirap ibalik ang kahapon. Only me in Australia that shares this information here free of charge.
For hydrants, Are the systems tested at the pump or at the most remote hydrants?
AS 2419.1-2021 now requires the provision of test drains to stormwater and the system would need to take the full design flow for 5 minutes.
In theory, this would be 20l/s as this would be the boosted flow.
still need to be tested at the pump?
and I would like to know how the sprinklers are tested on an AS 2118.6 system where there are no alarm valve.
Many thanks in advance.
For hydrant, it's the most disadvantageous landing valves in the area. For sprinkler without alarm valve- activated thru a flow switch connected to a fire alarm zone, we time the activation from a remote valve as required under AS1851-2012.
Flow requirements are always based on design - 10 l/s or 20l/s.
Elmer great videos why don't you check the operation of the butterfly valves when you do your sprinkler service? Be handy to know in what type of building each fire room was - apartments , warehouse factory etc. If you close the normally open butterfly valve with the standard mini switch in side, an indication would be shown at the alarm panel if you went and inspected it. If you opened the butterfly valve would the indication be removed from the panel without you having to reset the fire panel?
I noticed the second room had a red box on the gate valve what is that?
Hi Steve, butterfly valves (BV) are not all monitored. Once they are, they are programmed to AUTO RESET once normalised to normally open setting. BV are only monitored if an approved design to the building required it. That's why you can see a lot of BV with cables not connected at all. Our practices here is to secure it with a leather strap or a chain with padlock 003. That's more practical that monitoring it as it's always normally open anyway and inaccessible without a ladder. For the red box near the gate valve or main isolation valve, it's a tamper switch to monitor the status of the isolation valve. It sends an alarm ( for alert only) that it's not fully open if tampered. Cheers .
@@fireprotectionguy7943 thanks for your answer Elmer just saw it. if you don't close the OS&Y with the anti tamper switch how do you know if the valve is functioning properly or if the antitamper is working. If you say that the BV that are monitored are programmed to auto reset at the FP what happens with the anti tamper. Whats your understanding of a Class A and B monitor. Have you done any videos on residential sprinkler stop valve assemblies that appear on each floor
thanks
@@stephenhart6158 Each tamper switch is connected to a conventional module - short in alarm and open in fault. If the BV was closed, it will short the monitoring module. Once the BV is normallised ( remain opened) the tamper switch normalised as well, thus auto reset as per programmed. For residential sprinkler, normally it's not monitored unless it was designed base on the year of Building Code used.
Could you test a pre-action system :)
Yes, I can. I have tested pre-action system, gas suppression and VESDA many times. Unfortunately, I don't have any at present so I can not vlog them. I will try to meet a friend who maintained Woolworths Main Building. He'll show it to us in a video. He do it every Friday early morning. Hopefully, we have time. For pre-action, always isolate the discharge valves before any test. Then , drain the discharge after. It's not that complicated. Just scary.
Sanay Naba makarinig ng Alarm yang partner mo Sir Elmer hehe...
May pag-aalinlangan pa.
@@fireprotectionguy7943 ah kapag maging confident na maka rinig at kung ano una gagawain kapag may alarma puwede na talaga bitawan hehe...
