    Here in Missouri we don’t see a lot of silent alarms. But you’ve certainly brought it to my attention now and I look out for them more. Smoke detector still give me fits but I’m working on them thanks to your video and planing on building my own trainer for trouble shooting purposes. Thanks for putting in the time to help us newer guys out. As I get better I may have questions.

    Be careful if you do any soldering or repair work inside a hospital or some large public buildings.
    I worked in a hospital and Convention Center and when you set off a alarm accidentally there the fire dept will respond. They can also send you a fine/$$ bill if you mess up.
    With a hospital and most buildings it has a short 3 minute time delay so security can try get to the area to see if it is a real fire but that time frame is very short. Then it goes in General Alarm and the trucks roll.

    I called the Fire Department from Hosing out a Cooling Tower at an Apartment Building. The hose connection was tapped into the Sprinkler Flush Pipe. Didn’t know the manager had to call it out, before a tower cleaning. The Electronic tower fill was in the Mechanical Room. Also had a Restaurant the gas safety shut off was wired into every RTU.

    reminds me, I once did HVAC and was called in on a holiday to defrost a ice chest, while I was there I wanted to check out the compressor and do a visual, the guy working there was alone and it turned out that the keybox that had the keys to the shed it was in had a burglar alarm and so when we got back there were a couple of security officers near the entrance and I said goodbye to the guy and left once I had packed my stuff in the car, felt pretty bad for the guy.

    I was replacing a restricted dryer and had a puff of smoke go down the return. I didn’t know but it set off the fire alarm. I see a head on my ladder and it’s asking me if I set off the alarm. Sh&! I say as I hear the sirens. Praying they don’t get in an accident on the way to a false alarm. I met the fire department at the front of the store. Sorry I say. They say don’t do it again. I recommend when welding or performing heat checks that you put the fire alarm in test mode. Call the monitoring company and have this done. Stay safe.

    • @HVACRVIDEOS

    • @burningdust
      @burningdust 3 роки тому +1

      I think that particular first responder needed to curb the ego a little. Not like you were messing with a pull station for fun. It was an accident. False alarms can easily happen when repairs or alterations are being made inside a building.. yes, absolutely take precautions to minimize the chance of it happening but there are no guarantees it won’t happen ever again, that’s unrealistic.
      You never know what kind of system you’re dealing with. I’ve done it too while working in telecom and was fortunate enough to meet some rather understanding first responders. It can also be argued that putting an entire fire alarm system into standby can jeopardize the fire safety of larger buildings even if it’s only for 1/2 hour or so.

    So if a restaurant is getting robbed, the employees are going to retreat to the freezer, press the panic button, and then freeze to death waiting for police? Why is this a better location than under the till counter or elsewhere in the kitchen?

    • @raymondflowers2167
      @raymondflowers2167 5 років тому +2

      There could be multiple panic buttons in the system. Manager's Office, Cash Room (if they have one), Fridge, Freezer, near back door, etc. Sometimes we install wireless pendant ones that people can wear around their neck.

    • @ericpaul4575
      @ericpaul4575 4 роки тому +1

      In the movies the bad guys always lock the employees in the walk-in. The panic button is there for that situation and for the one where the door jams and people are locked in with no one on the out side (another favorite of TV and movies).

      @HVACRVIDEOS  5 років тому +5

      In the case of this unit there is two gas valves and two heat exchangers, so first stage turns on 1 and second the other. But on other units there might just be one gas valve that has the ability to increase the gas flow into one single heat exchanger on the call for second stage heat.

    The fire alarm should be stand alone no matther what, however the fire alarm should give a signal to the hvac system to go in fire mode. This will enable fans and some zone dampers to activate and keep emergency exit path smoke free, and to override any faults that are active. This is code over here.

      I remember having to do this in fitouts I used to do for retail by incorporating the duct smoke detectors on larger units in my plans. It wont set the fire alarm, but it will do what he says and beep annoyingly or show a trouble code indicating the failed sensor. Ours at work does the same thing.
