Man I gotta say, this system is one of the best setups I’ve seen! Sometimes you gotta scale back a bit to make things work, but I’m really impressed with the outcome.
Thank you! Yeah I wasn't about to flush mount pull stations on the first floor. I'd get too many false alarms that way, plus they're not really being needed on this type of system. I kept the pull station at the panel for convenience.
This and Nic's system is how I think most residential systems should be setup (less a few unique intricacies here and there). Very nice! Very well done!
I plan to keep this system pretty much as it is until I either buy my own house or my family moves out of this one. Whenever I buy my own house it will have a system similar to Nic's with full coverage in the house, likely with new equipment as well. Thank you for the kind words!
@stampynate007 I bought the 4008 panel on this system years ago from someone I went to school with who used to be interested in fire alarms as well. In general fire alarm panels can be found on eBay or similar sites in the $200-$1000 range most of the time.
I was wanting to know how do you make those little white labels that go on the pull stations? I would like to do that with mine. I’m talking about the little white label that is stuck to each pull station and has it’s address point on it.
@@Gentex_Commander_2 It's a physical piece of equipment. This is the one I use: www.amazon.com/Brother-RPTD400-Versatile-Certified-Refurbished/dp/B01HTQGBI2?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
My hotel I stay in had true alerts and it looks like the rooms had a smoke detector with a opening for the sound device. I'm kinda surprised they don't put remote strobes in hotel rooms. My high school had strobes in the classrooms.
I believe that’s because if a fire happens while people are sleeping, you will need sound to wake you up. In school, you can’t sleep without expecting your teacher to yell at you to wake up. In the end, it would just depend on if the room is used for sleeping or not.
My room is the only room with any devices in it. If I put anything in the other rooms I would do smokes with sounder bases. Other than that the system is plenty loud throughout the rest of the house.
Probably would be a good idea to have a remote annunciator on the system. I would put it near a security keypad if one exists or by a common entryway. Makes sense to have one in case the alarm falsely goes off.
I've thought about that but it's highly unlikely that I will install an annunciator on this system since they are so bulky and there isn't really a practical place for me to put one. Besides for this system it isn't really necessary for there to be an annunciator.
You would be correct there. One of the quirks of smartsync on the newer 4906 series Truealerts is that the first pulse of code 3 is a little bit longer. It helps keep large numbers of horns in sync with each other.
man i love simplex the white flush mounted truealerts and smoke detectors are perfect
Great system! It looks so good! I love them flush mounted! Keep up the good work!

Great system dude! Looks fantastic!
Goddamn the new changes look amazing, your home system looks really great!
Thank you! I really like the look of the white truealerts.
Thank you! I'm very proud of how this system turned out, how it looks like a legit system.

System looks so good! Looks like it was actually installed by professionals.
Who's to say I'm not a professional
Not saying you aren't.
You did a really good job on that
Thank you!
Nice video! I love your videos!
That's how the fire alarms at my school sounds like
hey! love the system. i love the decreased pull stations, however i'd still encourage one or two on the upper floors. nice video!
I've thought about adding a pull station at the door going out to the garage, but I don't think it's really necessary or practical to do so.
I really like the changes to the system. 😊
Thank you!
Wow it looks so good!!!
Thank you! I really like how this system turned out.
Phenomenal work
Thank you!
I have a 4008 as well but it has a NAC 1 short that is not going away are there any boards floating around?
You can always look around on eBay but for the time being you could just use nac 2 on yours.
@@FireAlarmsofNortheastKansas yes but panel will never be normal again

Label maker
@@FireAlarmsofNortheastKansas Is it a software program or is it a physical piece of equipment that I would need to obtain?

Nice!
Thank you!
@@FireAlarmsofNortheastKansas you are welcome.
I do like the changes from having a wall mounted device on the ceiling, because the ceiling version is the 4906-9130.
Those ceiling mount truealerts looked terrible on my system so I just stuck with wall ones.

...I also have that same lanyard 16:29
have you considered putting strobes in the bedrooms instead of horn strobes? also, very nice clean system

I may be crazy but I swear it sounds like the first buzz from code 3 is slightly longer then the others. Also hello from south central kansas!!

U should get heat detector for the home system test
Should install a strobe in a bathrooms if needed or if u want to.
No need. The system is plenty loud and no one in my family is deaf or hard of hearing. Although it would be cool.
What about an outdoor wheelock as I mean if u want which ur neighbor would be know to worry about for u.
Horns are commonly loud. The est integrity at my high school was.
You should maybe put an annunciator in your room
If I were to install an annunciator it would be on the first floor. I definitely would not put one in my room.
@@FireAlarmsofNortheastKansas also a good idea
You gotta change the battery of your smoke alarm😂😅
Why was your sister mad?
She is not a fan of my fire alarm hobby, and especially hates this system. I had let her know I was going to be testing and she was protesting it.
@@FireAlarmsofNortheastKansas would she have been happy if it was a voice evac system?
@@GaryBeltz I highly doubt it lmao
@@FireAlarmsofNortheastKansas sounds like my brother, even though my system is confined to my room lol
I can hear a smoke alarm chirping
Poor neighbours man
Your sister will thank you later 😂
She should be grateful to have a more advanced alarm system in her home than she has in many public buildings.
