Really cool, the system looks great. You are lucky to have such a supportive family. Was wonderful to see your mother get involved... What I really admire is your enthusiasm and passion for the subject, and your skills... I can't wait to see what comes next! In the UK our domestic security system (an Eaton i-on-40H panel) has smoke detectors linked to it and is connected to a monitoring company, so the fire brigade would be called if they went off. We have to pay a security company to maintain it though, plus the monthly monitoring subscription etc. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations Nic, I am beyond impressed. This is the best system ever!! Also very likely the first true commercial home system as everything is spot on. I love how there’s a zone marked “Nic’s Room” Also it’s definitely not the volume that upsets Ayla but rather the frequency as humans can only pick up a max range of 2300 hz whereas dogs can hear up to 4500 hz max and I believe that trouble sounder is somewhere between 22-3000 depending on distance. (Note how the low frequency sounder does not cause upset) As for the next episode you should do a “crappy smoke alarm” durability testing with Hayden. I love those

Just as a habit from installing lots of Honeywell addressable devices, I think it is best practice to rotate the rotary wheels fully in each direction before setting address. Had a school with similar issues of double addresses from smokes on a new install. Spinning the rotary wheels solved it. I train all my helpers to do it. I don't have much experience with notifier other than older stuff but been installing farenhyt and gamewell fci for a little over five years.

Also, Honeywell did an investor’s conference earlier this year where they showed off they were going to have LED L-Series, where they were going to have a T3/T4 setting. When they come out, do you think you’ll replace the current signals of you add CO detection to the system?
@nics-systems-electric

Likely not I find the LED devices really ugly and I don't require any CO detection in this building as there is no hazard of it I'd have to see how the new settings work obviously I need to run more wires but I guess it's not a global setting I'd assume and it can do two different separate tones once installed
@HenBasketFireAlarms
10 ай бұрын
@@nics-systems-electric yeah, LED devices are pretty ugly compared to xenon devices. Also, it’s weird to see the slight differences between Canadian and American codes. Here, CO is required in all homes in the majority of states. As for the wiring, if it’s anything like Wheelock’s Eluxa line, it’ll use synchronization pulses to differentiate which of the two tones to output. On the T3/T4 setting, the Eluxa uses T3 when receiving the silence sync signal, and T4 when receiving the audible sync signal. Obviously, it wouldn’t be compatible with legacy systems, it it does save wire running costs for retrofit and new installs.

pro tip: use the next/previous selection buttons while programming instead of doing detector and address (instead of detector 001, est, detector 002; do detector 001, esc, next selection) also, all your heats are on Z01, photo's are on Z03, and pulls are Z04. also also, you were using the short name field for naming, you use the thing that says DETECTOR ADDR for full name, and that field next to the zones are for the "short" name.

For example, my AFP-200 Stopped liking the address 1D001 for whatever reason. Couldn’t fix the issue with any model detector. So I swapped it to 1D007 and it worked fine.

What I really admire is your enthusiasm and passion for the subject, and your skills... I can't wait to see what comes next! In the UK our domestic security system (an Eaton i-on-40H panel) has smoke detectors linked to it and is connected to a monitoring company, so the fire brigade would be called if they went off. We have to pay a security company to maintain it though, plus the monthly monitoring subscription etc. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations Nic, I am beyond impressed. This is the best system ever!! Also very likely the first true commercial home system as everything is spot on. I love how there’s a zone marked “Nic’s Room” Also it’s definitely not the volume that upsets Ayla but rather the frequency as humans can only pick up a max range of 2300 hz whereas dogs can hear up to 4500 hz max and I believe that trouble sounder is somewhere between 22-3000 depending on distance. (Note how the low frequency sounder does not cause upset) As for the next episode you should do a “crappy smoke alarm” durability testing with Hayden. I love those

Just as a habit from installing lots of Honeywell addressable devices, I think it is best practice to rotate the rotary wheels fully in each direction before setting address. Had a school with similar issues of double addresses from smokes on a new install. Spinning the rotary wheels solved it. I train all my helpers to do it. I don't have much experience with notifier other than older stuff but been installing farenhyt and gamewell fci for a little over five years.

Also, Honeywell did an investor’s conference earlier this year where they showed off they were going to have LED L-Series, where they were going to have a T3/T4 setting. When they come out, do you think you’ll replace the current signals of you add CO detection to the system?

Likely not I find the LED devices really ugly and I don't require any CO detection in this building as there is no hazard of it I'd have to see how the new settings work obviously I need to run more wires but I guess it's not a global setting I'd assume and it can do two different separate tones once installed

@@nics-systems-electric yeah, LED devices are pretty ugly compared to xenon devices. Also, it’s weird to see the slight differences between Canadian and American codes. Here, CO is required in all homes in the majority of states. As for the wiring, if it’s anything like Wheelock’s Eluxa line, it’ll use synchronization pulses to differentiate which of the two tones to output. On the T3/T4 setting, the Eluxa uses T3 when receiving the silence sync signal, and T4 when receiving the audible sync signal. Obviously, it wouldn’t be compatible with legacy systems, it it does save wire running costs for retrofit and new installs.

pro tip: use the next/previous selection buttons while programming instead of doing detector and address (instead of detector 001, est, detector 002; do detector 001, esc, next selection) also, all your heats are on Z01, photo's are on Z03, and pulls are Z04. also also, you were using the short name field for naming, you use the thing that says DETECTOR ADDR for full name, and that field next to the zones are for the "short" name.

Sometimes there are little bugs in the program that just have issues with certain devices set to certain addresses. It even happens on the old AFP style panel. For example, my AFP-200 Stopped liking the address 1D001 for whatever reason. Couldn’t fix the issue with any model detector. So I swapped it to 1D007 and it worked fine. Sometimes if you set stuff in the program wrong, the panel has a fit. But it’s definitely not you.

Hey if you want to do furnace shutdown, I believe one of the easiest ways would be to attach the red 24VAC wire running to the thermostat to a normally closed alarm relay, when the alarm goes off, it will cut the low voltage power which is responsible for sending the control signals to the HVAC system.

On your air handler shutdown just interrupt "R" on the thermostat wiring. If the condensate pump was installed with the overflow safety wired it should be interrupting the same just put in series.
