System Test SERIES FINALE: Part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- So, it's come to this. This is the series finale for the System Test series at my parents' house. It's one heck of a system, so much in fact that I can't show it all in one part because even part 1 is already nearly 20 minutes.
Also sorry for the autofocus craziness, was using my Olympus camera for the A-roll and I didn't have the AF settings set quite right, it turns out.

This is a big change for the community, but one I feel everyone will embrace and understand. I do look forward to seeing what the future for you holds
Too bad you’re technically not in the community. It was fun seeing your videos! If you do leave completely, do not delete your channel as a LOT of people love your vids. Great work Andrew!
awesome start to the end of an epic series. I've been watching your channel since late 2009 and you've become one of, if not my favorite fire alarm RUclipsr I've ever came across in the fire alarm enthusiast community. Hope your future treats you well bud
Fire alarms and security systems rock! I love it! Thanks for sharing this!
The functionality and simplicity of this system is very neat. Gets the point across, designed to protect the house and safety. Well done! For someone who’s watched your videos going all the way back to 2009 (with the 8005, and the mechanical horns, and whatever “contraptions” you had up then :P), thank you for all you’ve done in the alarm community. I only wish you the best for your future ahead. Life changes frequently, I can say that for damn sure (coming from someone who’s taking an electronics course in college). Interests also come and go, so whatever you end up pursuing in, make the best of it. Take care Andrew
Excellent system! Love the ferrules in the panel. It looks fantastic.
Ferrules are necessary on stranded wires, holds the strands together and makes a strong connection to the terminal
Thanks for the system tests. I really enjoyed the experiences and the knowledge that your tests gave me. Also it was your videos that started my interests in alarms and convinced me to take a career in wiring and testing systems. I’ve watched your videos for a long time and seeing it come to a close makes me say only one thing: Thanks for everything. You were an inspiration and i will miss ur content.
Being one of your loyal viewers since 2010-ish, it's great to see another video.. brings me back to simpler times when you were pushing out older videos
Love the system and panel, sad to see the series is ending but looking forward to your future, I'll definitely stay around :3
Beautiful install, your wiring and overall installation work is superb. I must say this video was very well made, a great choice for a panel too. I'm not sure if the B series supports it, but some of the classic Radionics systems supported a function called invisible walk, that if I remember correctly, permits you to walk test points without any indication from the bell output. I'll see if I can find an equivalent on the B series, if it exists that is. Also, I would recommend adding a sked in the panel that just makes sure that the relay for your silent test thing is reset at midnight or something, just in case someone forgets to reset it manually and doesn't notice the trouble. In any case though, great setup and cannot wait to see part 2.
Even though you changed a ton of stuff, it’s a very cool system! I’m actually a sucker for security systems (especially older and rare ones) and can safely say they somewhat interest me more than fire alarms. Can’t wait for part 2!
Btw: the flush Mount speaker is a Honeywell 746f, and the downstairs speaker is a Honeywell 746
Resideo now, but yeah I know, those were the part numbers I put in when I ordered them lol
When you get to your new house please make more system tests please I was a subscriber since 2011 (born in 2009) and all I want is for my childhood favorite fire alarm channel to come back and make more noise with his alarms please we have been waiting for too long!
And by the way I will have received an original Simplex 4050 in working condition
Only real OGs remember the Alertek 8005
The Fire Alarm tone is from the System Sensor Low Frequency Sounder. :)
I think this is a great way to end the system test series; it drives home the point that at the end of the day, these systems are not intended to be messed around with all the time, and are in place to protect people’s lives. I’m sure this system will give your parents some serious peace of mind after you move out!
This is a great comment and you nailed exactly the reason why I don't plan to touch the system anymore except for maintenance.
Kid: Can I have the i8005
Simplex 4030 x 2: NAA NAA NAA NAA
or 8005 or annunciator for i8005
You've come a long way from back when you started. I wish you luck in whatever you'll do next!
Holy crap I feel like I’m 11 again. Will you do mini system tests again with pulls and horn strobes again?
It is sad to see this series come to an end. My favorite video you made was system test 28. Maybe the system tests may come back or they might not. But definitely not at the same house probably anymore.
The system test series was practically my childhood, I'm proud to call myself an obsessed idiot.
Good Work Andrew! Don't Delete your Channel. I Bet People Want To See your Videos In The Future! Wish you Good luck in the Future and What your Going Through If Anything Is.But I'm Glad Your Leaving Your System For Your Parents That's Really Nice Of You To Do That For Your Parents Andrew!
OMG YOU FINALY POSTED I have missed your vids for ages where have u been?
Nice setup! (nice job putting it together as well, how you power those 24VDC Gamewell 60As with 12VDC however I have _no_ idea) I can perfectly understand why you redid it so much; it started out as a hobby system for personal fun, but now it makes sense to make it an actual life safety system (I myself sorta prefer standalone demonstration boards anyway). I can also understand why this is the finale for home system tests; the system is not likely to change at all after this, so if you did multiple tests they'd all be the same, & I'm sure you've gotten tired of doing such tests as well.
Good choice making the fire tone 520hz, since that's the tone most likely to wake up sleeping individuals. Are the actual voice messages the defaults?
I look forward to not only part 2 but anything else you might have planned (or otherwise might do in the future).
Those smoke detectors are actually rated for 9 to 30 volts.
I chose 520 Hz because my parents are elderly and it has the highest chance of waking them up.
Those are not the default messages, I came up with them myself. The male voice is actually a computer voice that actually sounds really good.
That intruder message will surely scare the intruders away! Cool!
That's part of the point haha
@@NewAgeServerAlarm bruhface
Hey man. You got me into fire alarms. I watched your videos as a younger kid. If it wasn’t for you, I would have never gotten into them or even into elevators or any other knowledge of electrical things. Thank you very much for pioneering the fire alarm community. Please do keep up your channel. I hope the future is great for you.
Quite a functional system. Do you have any outdoor sirens or motion sensors installed? You didn't mention any such devices. Are they going to be in part 2? I'm looking forward to part 2.
It's been a long ride seeing your system tests for the past 14 years and then closing the curtains to end this series. I can't wait to see what you have in stores for the future of your channel if RUclips doesn't make anymore ridiculous updates.
Aside of seeing the series coming to an end, my local auto parts store I work at uses a Bosch security as well (don't remember if they use a B4512). However, they use Bosch D1255 series keypads instead those B920 models. Are the D1255 keypads different compared than the B920s other than the looks? I know they both have the same sounds.
D1255 keypads actually communicate on an older data bus that the B series panels are not compatible with. Your local store most likely has a D7212 or D9412 or some newer variation of that, which is a classic radionics panel
Beautiful change man.
LOL! good timing
I once downloaded all of your system test and mini system test videos to a flash drive to watch them on a RUclips-restricted Chromebook
That's... devotion.
@@NewAgeServerAlarm meh, I’ve been *that* much into fire alarms. I probably will become an obsessed idiot if I’m not already one lmao
Though it’s specifically your content though, so I guess it is :)
@@dexterthewulf3637 hey if his channel gets deleted or he gets canceled for something really bad and has to delete his channel. At least you'll reupload it.
Very cool system, great video.
At least we can properly end the series off with a bang! Will any of your unlis-- privated videos be made accessible in some medium, or no such luck? Either way, still be hard to see you go, but the legacy lives on in all of our hearts! Also a very nice thing to make for your parents!
Now this...
Brings back my childhood
Coming from someone who used to watch you for a long time, i can get why your leaving but i think this is the start to a great ending.
Hello from the UK!!! I always used to watch your videos when I was younger and seeing what systems are like in the US so it’s a nice last bit of nostalgia 😊
The system looks great!! The only change I would make is replacing the Chemtronics heat detectors with Apollo S65 heats so they match the Apollo S65 smokes (Gamewell 60As), not only because it would look nicer with them matching but it would be easier to install and maintain as all the detectors would be wired the same but of course you’d have to import them as I don’t think Gamewell ever rebranded the heat detectors; regardless, great system with a lot of thought put into the design of it!
I remember watching you back in 2011/2012
has this been approved to be used for real use and not just collectors items
Best of luck to you! I hope everything works out!!
I'm glad to see you back, as one of my most favorite fire alarm channels, I think I should share my favorite videos from this channel.
My favorite OLD system test videos from the late 2000's to early 2010's:
"System test 21, Spectralerts" why you may ask? It's mainly because of that funny moment where you left the panel in continuous, which resulted in you saying: "LLLOOOUUUDDD!!!" (Because that's what Spectralerts were known for doing) those spectralert alarms were installed in my old elementary and middle school.
"System test 25" why? After System test 24, we waited a year and a day for System test 25. I say it was worth the wait because of the speaker strobes!
"System test 26.1" (Not sure why the "1" was there but ok) I liked this video because it somehow became your most popular video, plus I liked the selection of alarms you used.
"System test 28, LOUDEST AND CRAZIEST SYSTEM TEST!" I liked this video because of the Simplex 40/30 you put in the basement, the thing was so loud that it ended up vibrating the floor upstairs, the most insane part of the video is when you put the System into continuous.
"System test 29, the finale of the Alerteck 8005" I liked this video because the inclusion of bells and the finale of the 8005."
My favorite NEW System test video:
"New System test 1" I liked this video because of all the changes made into the system and the Simplex 4005.
My favorite Mini System test video:
"Mini System test 23" I liked this video because of the inclusion of the Notifier NFS320 addressable fire alarm control panel and showing off the different features it had like the fire suppression feature.
The other videos that are my favorite:
"A REAL FIRE ALARM",
The sneak peak videos of upcoming System tests.
That's about it!
If you read the description of "System Test 26.1" you'll see why the .1 was there.
yesssssssssssssssssss my favorite youtuber is back can we see all your loudest alarms in one of these i got a question do u got all your alarms from 12 years ago
It’s nice to see a system test video again! I hope everything goes well for you in the future. I’ll miss the system test videos in this classic setting, but I’m excited to see what you might set up in the future
How'd you label the wires going into the panel?
Heat shrink labels. They go into a standard label maker (in my case, a Brother P-Touch)
Please make more system test fire alarms
@Aslin Fire Safety finale means the last one of this house
new intro nice
Yeah did you enjoy my modern take on my original intro?
@@NewAgeServerAlarm Yeah! It added a modern, but still the classic older style to it!
Gosh, I remember watching your nostalgic old fire alarm videos on youtube as guest when I was young, I enjoyed your old videos. I still rewatching them now and in the future, thank you for the wonderful videos and I will miss your content. it's sad to see the series come to an end...
Ooh
yes
Where did you get the equipment and how did you program it? I may be interested in doing something like this myself in my home.
great video
You didn't mention: Does the attic still have a heat detector in it?
I’m a big fan
Official NewAgeServerAlarm you are the great grandfather of fire alarm collecting. Its good to see you uploading again!
Wow! This is awesome. I grew up watching all your system test, but you can’t forget. All good things come to an end! Thank you, from all of the fire alarm community for helping us get to where we are now.
Interesting setup. Sad to see this series go, but hopefully there will be a “Series 2” when you move to the new place.
butterbean would like this system
This is a really nice setup. Been watching you on and off since probably 2009. Looking back, your fire alarm hobby reminds me of my phone hobby. You put fire alarms all over the house, I put phones all over the house. Thankfully my parents were/are tolerant of that and it seems like yours were too. Learning and experimenting at home can help lead to a career.
Is it just me, or does one of the speakers sound slightly sick?
The ELK 120 has a strange recording restriction where you have to put the mic in front of a speaker. It’s stupid
Hey Andrew.
I just wanted to say that your videos have been amazing over the years. I started watching in 2011. Your vids are amazing and I will miss them a lot. I hope you have a safe move in the future. Just like everyone else is saying, please don't delete your channel. Anyways, stay safe
You’ve come so far from your simple 9219 and a pull station, you pioneered my fire alarm interests
nice video
bullSHIT
Andrew, you are the one who got me into fire alarms and I want to thank you for getting me into such a neat hobby. With that, farewell to the system! Thanks for the many years of these videos!
The system looks great, glad to see it again even if it may be the last few times. Happy to hear that it is keeping your house and your family secure. Family is much more important than any fire alarm. Too bad you didn't "Pull an Andrew" though (put up all 2903's). That's kind of a saying I had come up with and it has kinda stuck 😆.
Newageserveralarm! It's been a while! I've been enjoyed your fire alarm videos back in time!
The speaker on 7:44 Looks Like a AC Vent
Is that an apollo fire alarm from the uk
Nice intro
That intro takes me back!! almost feels like early 2009 again.
I’ve never spoken on your channel as I recall. But I’ve watched you since I was little. Start to finish. Right to the end. I feel like the least I could do is express my gratitude, respect and support to you for making mine and many other individuals childhood have a big part in it. That heat detector reminds me of that one episode 6-8 years ago where you popped a kitchen heat detector with a lighter and you went to the garage. It’s never left me. Same with your intro. It’s very weird seeing the system missing the bells and strobes. But the wiring is still there and the system is there to stay.
Thank you for being apart of the golden era of the community and I hope I see you again.
12:59 my brother’s birthday is 4/20
I started watching your videos way back in 2008. I'm proud of you!
You, are a legend! I miss your old videos!!
I will miss watching your videos
Hey! It's you! I remember watching you with my friend a couple of years back! Good times.
wtf who JASPER??? ye
I hope you enjoy your new chapter in your life
Glad these are coming back. Super nostalgic.
Do you still have your alarms?
I started watching his videos November 5, 2007 that’s what is my first time watching him
Nice Video
Thank you!
Watching this after class I’m so excited!
Wow rip to a part of my childhood!!!!!
I'm going to miss this channel
At least he is making videos again.
End of an era!
Nice system! Nicely well done.
I like the video editing
Been a long long time LOL
Fantastic system. I will miss you but I understand why you have decided to leave. I hope to see some other content from you if you have another hobby that hasn’t died!
You came back
Personally I don’t like the newer style keypads by Bosch I like the older style I find them easier to use
Would have loved to use D1255 keypads but B-Series panels do not support them.
This system is awesome! Is the panel programable through the keypads? Or do you program it with a programming software? Thanks.
It allows limited programming through the keypad but if you want to unlock the full features of the panel you need to use the software..
Huh. Finale???
how did you set up the CO detectors to run the sirens in a different signal to the smoke detectors? i’ve been wanting to get a security system like this one for a little while now, and i plan to have it fully set up by the time my parents move out in 10 years or so. idk if this is a stupid question or not but i couldn’t find any answers to this online so i figured i’d ask here.
ELK-120 has four programmable channels, I programmed the message into one of them and programmed the panel to turn on that message for any CO alarm.
@@NewAgeServerAlarm oh, i guess that makes sense now that i think about it, but i do think it should be a bit more obvious to less experienced people (me lmao)
yeah ok
14 years wow
What voice driver are you using?
ELK-120
yes
Do you still plan on doing system tests after you move in to your new house?
Probably not as even if his new house has a security system, he might just make one test video of it & that's it (since unlike his former fire alarm system setup the components wouldn't change thus making further test videos pointless).
I miss him the best five alarms
This is really cool. It is sad to see that this will be the last test.
.... in this house
@@NewAgeServerAlarm So does that mean you will occasionally make system tests in a different House or not? I'm just wondering.
Question, because I'd love to get one of these, can you change the toneout for the exit now duration? Like instead of the one sawtooth tone every second, it plays a square wave tone once every so often?
Or is that solely based on the model panel you get?
It's a recordable siren driver and you can make it say whatever you want it to say
@@NewAgeServerAlarm I meant on the keypad, apologies for not clarifying
Yay
The legend is back
Don't call him a "legend." And definitely don't bring up Alertek. Andrew really hates being put on a pedestal, so I'd highly recommend you avoid calling him a legend and avoid mentioning Alertek (which you didn't but still), because it will more than likely remind him of his obsessed idiot days that he really isn't proud of.
when is part 2
exactly what I've been wondering
