The Fire Panel Forums

Any relevant manuals to the house (HVAC, security, appliances, and smoke alarms) should be left behind with the new homeowner. Any other relevant notes can also be left behind such as set codes and where the control panel for the system is.

Hello! I’m working on a musical production for my school. Unfortunately, we have a stage door that slams shut and makes a very loud bang. It’s a hassle trying to keep the backstage area quiet during show times and we would like to get this fixed. Is there a way to slow the door closer down so that i...

Do you have a wireless receiver set up and programmed on the NX-8 system? If so, what type is it? It can either be an 148RF keypad (LCD screen with a wireless receiver built in) or a separate wireless receiver within the system.

'nother one 'cause why not? Y'see those mini-horns they put in hotel rooms? People sometimes mistake these for security cameras and put tape over them, being persuaded that it's a security camera or a microphone. I've never seen this in person. but for sure I recall someone talked about this on the...

We have yet to adopt it. I'm hoping they're going to do some more reliable alternative if that ever gets implemented. That being said, we have had people attempt arson at our school which did require a full evacuation. Luckily, we do have a verification of another school bell they manually activate ...

Is the red light in Korea solely and visual fire alarm box indicator light, or does it also flash when a fire condition is reported? I know that Taiwan has their lights flash if a fire alarm goes off to signal occupants to evacuate. Cool systems! Do you have any media on smoke alarms? Here's a video...

My science teacher thought that the ceiling mount genesis speaker/strobe was a smoke detector. I wasn't super surprised at that one though - most science rooms are supposed to have smoke detectors, and the building designers coincidentally decided to mount a notification appliance to the ceiling. I ...

Contact the plant engineer and the administrator in charge of building management. They usually get it fixed in relatively a short time (because it's a school). An email and some photographic evidence should do. If you're unable to obtain photographic evidence, CC your teacher and have her follow up...

My school has had an RTU Duct Detector disabled for over two months. It's set as a supervisory zone so I'm not exactly sure why it would be disabled for such a long period of time. So I have a few questions: Why would an RTU duct detector be disabled for so long? I would understand a day or two, but...

Hey guys!
Thank you so much for your support. I've completed most of my experimentation for now so I've got what I needed from you guys.

Thanks again!

(mod please close this topic... I can't seem to get it to report correctly)

ew fortnite but wait what do you do during a tsunami drill the building would fall if you were on the top floor and it would flood if you were on the bottom floor It depends on how the building is built. For example, some buildings in Japan are structured in a manner where you can immediately go to...

I know a common thing that they do is that they put a white stripe with a red background over the pull station or behind the pull station so that it's easier to identify. Not sure why they do that or if it's actually over the code. Also, all exit signs have to be red, and newer ones have to meet cer...

Simplex Truealert or Truealert ES or a similar sounding horn [/b] *snip* Some notes for the sounds: Sounds should be loud and clear; not distorted. Excessive background noise should not be heard. Each device sample should have been used or approved for a fire alarm system. Each sound sample should ...

Hey everyone! I am working on a science fair on what fire alarm sounds work best to evacuate building occupants. In order for me to answer my question, I need help collecting fire alarm sound samples. The following sounds are needed (specific brand names are not required unless given below): A high ...

As for the mark forum as read button, this is something that we can admit and say we didn’t notice it was missing. However, this doesn’t mean that we can’t add it ourselves here, so we will look into what is necessary and I’m sure we can get that button back in the near future. For the longest time...
