fire alarm system 4 wire smoke detector hook up

[rcreveiwers]

how do you get rid of faults iv wired it up but it haqs no batterys the error im getting is pcu fault & psu fault and when i try mute panel it does not mute any ideas ?

[indigo4fox]

What's the price of that panel????????

[Federal3t22]

@indigo4fox depending on condition, you can find them from as low as $100 with just the circuit board with components missing, to as high as $400 new in the box.. I got this one for around $150 back in 2005,so with inflation, I'd say it would cost around $250 now. But be warned, these panel go fast as other collectors, and parts dealers (especially 2 particular ones) snap them up fast for re-sale (they usually jack the prices up sky high)

[thingyee1118]

whats the voltage used

[Federal3t22]

@thingyee1118 24VDC full wave rectified

[thingyee1118]

@Federal3t22 OK thanks verry much!

[Mywayorthehighway867]

I GOT BALLS

[Federal3t22]

@Mywayorthehighway867 I'll say. that was the most random and stupidest comment I've had posted on any of my videos. congrats. Enjoy your prize...a trip to justgotblockedville.

[HalomasterA69]

@Federal3t22 Hey,how do i wire up a pul station and a simple horn/strobe ?

[Federal3t22]

@HalomasterA69 h t t p:// w w w .y o u t u b e .c o m / watch?v=-gwUD_DHzJk this should help.

[Federal3t22]

@Federal3t22 I''ve got a video fo hooking up a DC alarm to a pull coming soon

[pfrancisco77]

Rhode Island fire marshall would puke all ove that. Everything you did is not allowed in RI.

[Federal3t22]

@pfrancisco77 Sense this is a demo/hobby system, and I live in CT, I'm not too concerned. If I was using this as an actual system, I'd hire a qualifyed electriction/fire alarm tech to do it as I'd have to notify our PD about it, which I'm sure would require an FMO inspection.

[Mugsmaster]

need to use the proper cable



[trainguy2020]

@starlite528 if you don't have anything nice to say, don't poast it before he blocks you.

[Federal3t22]

@trainguy2020 one step ahead of you

[hyperbaricchicken101]

Is there a specific connection in the pannel to connect the wires on the smoke detector to or do you actually have to sauder the smoke detector wires to a certain spot on the panel?

[mrxexellent]

hmm does the end of line resistor always go on the detector?

[novachild]

@mrxexellent The EOL should be placed at the detector that is at the very end of the loop. The EOL could be placed in parrallel at the panel but that would negate any fault monitoring of the field detectors and cabling.

[YoItE1000]

goood stuff bro ....part i never got is when is to use the resistor?

[domingedwin]

OK thanks anyway your video helps me a lot............. i hope someday there's somebody post the est programming tutorial......... god bless......

[domingedwin]

hi, can you make a video tutorial in programming the est-Eduard System Technology Fire Alarm?

[Federal3t22]

if you talking about prgraming an EST panel, I don't have one. The EST/Edwards fire alarms I have are conventional, and need no programing.

[stdavross666]

@domingedwin where are you located domingedwin?

[johntunes]

thank you for this video. I am wiring a 4 wire smokey to a DSC panel. Can you tell me what the PGM circuit is for and what PGM stands for? (The manual does not). Should I use the pgm circuit? or a standard zone circuit? Thanks. (i have the voltage wired up, but was confused about the relay connection) - thanks

[pfrancisco77]

@johntunes Progammable i belive

[TheFiremansavage]

@MrDinospark uh dude you need to learn to spell and excuse him for talking like that thats simply his accent and the way he talks, i think before you comment like that you should take typing classes for all we know you might talk like a dumbass but hey noone is gonna be rude to you so dont be an asshole and comment rudely like that i can understand him cuz im an american and we all speak english sorry we dont speak bullshit where you are but dont be rude cuz we dont speak like you

[simplex110]

@MrDinospark you need to learn how to spell i will give u lessons

[ototheyaaa]

Quick Question, on my fire alarms, i bought my house 10 years ago, so i decided to replace em'. My old ones had White,yellow,then black colored wires. Now my new ones hace White, red, black, in that order. im just wondering if there is a difference between the yellow and red wire. Thanks

[starlite528]

Proofread much?

[Federal3t22]

I am so not in the mood to deal with idiots like you right now. Next time you have a thought, please keep it to yourself.

[JamieJWSmith]

What is the difference between 4 wire and 2 wire? Which is better?

[Federal3t22]

a 4 wire smoke uses 2 wires for power, and 2 for initiating zone., while a 2 wire just uses 2 hooked into an iniating zone, that also doubles as detector power. Now as for which is better, both are good, but 2 wire is much simpler to install.

[bls2134]

@JamieJWSmith  4wire

[TheOmnipotentidiot]

Great video !!! I use these same pre-action panels at work,mainly on dry-pipe systems.

[Ilmenauerjunge13]

good quality

[Firelitestar5210]

kewl, i think my smoke burnt and all the wiring was right but i am getting an addresable panel with free addresable pullstations and smokes....but nice man

[cyberlegend1994]

Great vid, but you forgot the end-of-line power supervision relay required on 4-wire detectors to supervise the power. It goes at the last detector on the circuit and if power fails, the relay drops out and disconnects the end-of-line resistor, producing a trouble signal.

[willbill808]

That is absolutely required for all 4 wire smoke installations. Too often people don't know about it or don't feel the need to install one.

[Federal3t22]

I knew I forgot something...oops. Now to find one before I get my system installed.

[lioookm]

if u have an addressable system such as the902 series by national time and signal u dont need an eol resistor for supervision

[cyberlegend1994]

True - addressable system devices are inherently supervised through loss of communication with the control panel. However, this video is about a conventional system that requires end-of-line devices for supervision unless it's a Class A system where the ends of the circuits run back to the control panel.
