fire alarm system 4 wire smoke detector hook up

Here's a demo on how to wire a 4 wire smoke detector to a fire alarm control panel. The panel shown is a Fire-Lite MS-4424B, and the smoke is a BRK 2824 photoelectric. NOTE: there is some strobe footage shown, is you suffer any ill effects from viewing a strobe flash, please do not watch.

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)

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

@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.

@Federal3t22 OK thanks verry much!
