I'm sorry but you people have no idea what you are doing! On fire alarm panels, you can always silence before resetting the pull station. You can’t reset the system if the pull station is still activated.
You can silence the alarm before you reset the pull you just need to reset the pull before you reset the panel and you might need to wait for the fire department depends if you system is monitored or not
First of all you can silence the system before resetting the pull station And you have to push in a dual action BG12 you can’t just pull down until it snaps like in this video this video is very wrong.
Me too you pulled it wrong, and you don't need to flip the switch up you can just close it and not all pull stations have allen rench reset and lastly you don't insert the tool like that on the pull station
Why is the hex lock on top of the pull station and why would they have a commercial alarm system in there house? And also you don’t have to flip the switch back up on the bg12
You pulled the BG-12 wrong. You are supposed to push in a bit and pull down, exactly what the instructions say on the pull station. That will damage the pull station and cause a trouble on the panel. Also, you made multiple mistakes.
Remember if there is fire alarms in someone’s house that is not yours don’t tamper with them just like you would treat fire alarms in a public building.
@@SWMOWoodsman They say you can do that in the manual. It says, "Resetting the station is simple: insert the key, twist one quarter-turn, then open the station’s front cover, causing the spring-loaded operation handle to return to its original position. The alarm switch can then be reset to its normal (non-alarm) position manually (by hand) or *by closing the station’s front cover* , which automatically resets the switch."
A bunch of flaws will happen in the video: - Inapporiate installation of Commercial/Business Fire Alarm System in a small home. - You have to silence the panel before you actually reset the fire alarm pull station. If that’s a nuisance to you? Then get an annunciator. - Instruction Video does not SHOW how to really pull the fire alarm - Inapporiate placement of a Allen wrench on a pull station, this may cause tamper risk if ITS OPEN! If this is a real building, there is lots of people getting charged and encounter tampering with a life safety device! - Sounding of the piezo change on the horn strobe, (If the P2R sounds like a mini horn then it does not sound like an actual fire alarm) - If the alarm is a Advance Pull station or a BG 12 then you do not have to flip the switch. You just open and close. Its quick and easy. - This video is misleading and false! Other fire alarm inspectors and other fire fighters will be really confused of this video and cause certain mistakes. And IT DOES NOT MEET THE NFPA AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT STANDARDS!
Acrodding to another video on this channel this home was built in a group of homes in a California pilot program and part of the program the homes had to have fire alarm systems
You used the wrong sound for the SpectrAlert Advances at the beginning of the video, and throughout the entire video has the wrong sound. Only the end has the correct sound for the SpectrAlert Advances.
0:57 | Yes, silencing the alarm will work if the pull station is reset. And you do not have to push the black switch up when you reset the station, it goes up automatically. Maybe learn how fire alarm systems work before you post this on RUclips.
In my dreams houses had commercial fire alarms and exit signs pre-insalled, also this is very wrong..

yea you are right. they barely pushed in and they don't have to flip the switch.
Why is the hex lock on top of the pull station and why would they have a commercial alarm system in there house? And also you don’t have to flip the switch back up on the bg12
This video is completely wrong so for people that are just learning how to operate a fire alarm system, do not listen to this video
Safety Security Alert thank you! This is false and why is there a system in a house?
thats what i was thinking
I TOTALLY AGREE!
@@evanbart4109 could be an apartment, residence, retirement home, such.
@@evanbart4109 This system would never be in a house.This is a Silent Knight SK2 -SK4 Commercial System. This video is very wrong.
With the BG 12, you can actually just close the pull station to reset it, and it will automatically flip the switch back up.
Now what kind of home has a commercial fire alarm system pre-installed?
Usually like a small business will.
Safeman4202 1: That answer does not correlate with the question 2: A house is not a small business.
and exit signs?
an apartment or a residence!
The home of a fire alarm enthusiast
I know and I don’t think people (except fire alarm enthusiasts) have commercial fire alarms in there home..
Stevetntboom23 I am an enthusiast and im hoping to get a system in my house :P
@@rieon-plumbingfan I already did

Hunter Cullen it doesn’t cause a trouble... only if you disconnected the wires
POV: you get a house with a fire alarm system already installed so you can do system test videos with it
I lost brain cells watching this vid...
Joe B, this is for you. Uwe and Mary Rose, STAND DOWN!!!
huh
I had a fire drill at my home yesterday
Remember if there is fire alarms in someone’s house that is not yours don’t tamper with them just like you would treat fire alarms in a public building.
do you know how to reset a over the tally limit on a Symplex 4005?
Thx
You don't need to flip the switch up, when you close the pull station, The spring pushes it up
Sirens Of SW Ohio Yeah but Honeywell would probably have a seizure if they found out we were doing that

UltraTech&Gaming Yes but it wasn’t originally designed to do so
@@SWMOWoodsman yes it was
you DON'T fors the bg12 you push in AND THEN pull THATS why it was so had to pull
Don’t have to flip the switch the “pull box” that you have does it for you if u open it
Who the heck has a commercial fire alarm system in their house with a pull station?
Group home
me
Your the same person that says never ever tamper with the fire alarms at my house
@@P25AES yep
I think what’s funny is that none of this is even correct.... 😂 embarrassing
For real, everything about this is wrong.
Wrong!

Its a group home/multifamily home, those have to have fire alarm systems installed, i can find more things wrong with this comment than the video.
@@alexandersalarms5380 and why is everyone is saying that this is misleading?
@@relevanteaglealarms109 Because well, he didnt pull the pull station correctly, and they didnt reset the panel correctly.
Acrodding to another video on this channel this home was built in a group of homes in a California pilot program and part of the program the homes had to have fire alarm systems
THIS VID IS WRONG!!!!!!!
The whole channel
Everyone agree.
DONT LISTEN TO THIS VIDEO!!!
Do not listen to this video. Also it’s called a pull station. And you can silence it before you reset it. And you don’t have flip the switch
Anyone else notice that the actual panel was a fire lite ms-4 in a silent knight sk-4 enclosure?
Wow I didn't catch that... Maybe they got the panel off eBay or something. Good eye!
I did, yeah.
Fire alarms in a house???
You can silence the alarm without resetting the call point lol
You used the wrong sound for the SpectrAlert Advances at the beginning of the video, and throughout the entire video has the wrong sound. Only the end has the correct sound for the SpectrAlert Advances.
Bro they were smoke detectors uhg
very very VERY late reply, but you do know advances are multitone right? they have the normal tone we all hate and the high pitched smoke alarm tone.
this video is wrong do not watch this
OMFG How many alarms system experts here!😱
THAT'S ONE OF THEM LIKE ME!
We need fire alarm enthusiasts to make a better video.
Jonathan Runion exactly
@@rieon-plumbingfan they have?
Well yes, this video is wrong, some people do opt to install commercial fire alarms in there home.

Tuah research sdn bhd @akademi binaan Malaysian
sus
FACT: 0% of the homes I've been too have commercial fire alarm systems instead of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.
Same
its not a home
