@kcin556, anyone?

When I tried plugging headphones into the port, I found it also output sound. Perhaps it's multipurpose.

What strobe setting do you have them on, and how do you have them wired up? The Exceder should sound instantly when power is applied and it's set to continuous. Yeah I did mention that the Exceder sounds immediately when set on continuous, the Advance does not. I have the strobe on 15cd, and I did ...

Gentex Commander 3, SpectrAlert Advance, Wheelock Exceder/AS, EST Integrity/Genesis As far as I can tell, none of those have the option to disable self coding. I know 4-wire/horn only models of the Advance series have the option to disable self coding, but my Advance is a two wire horn strobe. Spec...

Question: what model are your self-coding alarms? If they have the option to disable the self-code then it would be in your interest to disable it. Gentex Commander 3, SpectrAlert Advance, Wheelock Exceder/AS, EST Integrity/Genesis As far as I can tell, none of those have the option to disable self...

Vista panels cant do that. Forget what I said earlier because I just tested my commander 3 with my Vista20p system and It works fine. I recommend you do not set the coding on your device to code 3 when doing a fire alarm. Note the bell output 12VDC not 24. Yeah, I have noticed that alarms like the ...

Your best bet is to call the monitoring company and let them know that you will be testing the system. There are some cases where the panel (any, really) exits out of walk test mode and goes into full alarm. Is the panel wired directly to the city tie? If not (i.e. it's monitored by a company), a ca...

USI is a real brand (I had them at my old house), and from I remember they do sell heat alarms.

Alarmgrid seems to have a nifty explanation on how to do it. I'll DM you the information since it does have links to stuff that shouldn't be share publicly.

You should probably refer to its programming manual as well. Most panels will have instructions on how to factory reset the panel.

Correct!

This factor, referred to by a single letter, is a way to express the relationship between flow rate and pressure with the unit of gpm/sqrt(psi).

What is M?

It's quite a thrilling experience, but it's definitely not fun going through an actual one. Most of the ones in my area are generally weak though.

Welcome! I hope you enjoy your stay with us.

On the Norwegian Escape, I've seen some Roshni sounders in common areas, though I'm unsure if those are actually connected to the call points (there's a video somewhere on YouTube of them going off when the emergency doors are shutting). I imagine it sends a signal to the bridge, and if it's in a s...

What is the fire tetrahedron?

What is a pre-action system?

As far as I know, the state has been pretty lenient for schools not practicing fire drills due to online schooling. I'm not sure how hybrid schools seem to approach it (couldn't pull up any records for hybrid schools in Georgia), but I wouldn't be surprised if they took a two-day drill approach give...
