Firefighter here. Love your videos. We do basic protection systems stuff in the academy but not that much at all. More focused on sprinkler heads, sprinkler system types, and smoke head types (I had to memorize the temps for the different colored glass bulbs which I forgot pretty much immediately). I deal with malfunctioning systems daily. Your videos help me understand more about what I'm seeing at the panel. Thanks man. Appreciate it.

I think the bell at 18:40 is actually pretty common. My school has a bunch of those as well as 439Ds. I've seen lots of those in multiple different buildings. The GS bells at my school were installed in 1999, And the 439Ds were installed around 1993-1996.

@@nics-systems-electric gotta love ground faults lmao. Still would replace the system though on the grounds that it is obsolete hardware that was known for being not so good in the first place. An EST 4 retrofit would be perfect as EST sells a retrofit kit for the EST 2. I have seen the EST 4 in action, and even though I don’t like EST, I actually think that EST got it right this time. EST 4 is actually a nice system; it trips fast, is easy to use, and is VERY flexible for an alarm system. EST definitely took a massive leap in the right direction. A quick note though: in order to get the best performance, you may need to use the most recent detectors (SIGA optica), pulls (newest 278-SIGA), and A/Vs (Genesis G4) EST offers, because that was on the system i saw.

The school really was lucky they had an EST 2 for 20 years. Thing shoulda broke long ago because EST was ridiculously cheap. I will admit though, EST’s new products like the EST 4 has surprised me. Its a lot better than you may think. If the panel is really screwed, EST sells an upgrade kit for upgrading from EST 2 to EST 4. Im still a hopeless simplex and notifier enthusiast, even though EST has surprised me and exceeded my expectations this time.

@@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign Totally agree! They have definitely improved their standards, but it will still take time to surpass Simplex and Notifier which are major innovators which are known for their top notch products. EST still needs to burn off its cheap reputation with its older software based systems. EST 4, the newest SIGA, and genesis products seem to be a massive step in the right direction though. Weatherdan posted a video of these products in action and i was ultimately surprised by the performance of the system. Again, EST just needs to be doing more of that quality production and they will be at the top with Simplex/Notifier.

What a weekend; first a crashed gate, then some honey and now a missing bell(HAHA just kidding no not really) congratulations on finding the problem. Interesting that it was simply a pair of bad batteries and not something more major. I kinda figured you'd just get a "batt low" message as opposed to "gnd fault" but I guess that's just what the more recent EST2's do. Now when a storm hits this winter and the power goes out the kids will be safe knowing the backup batteries work. Too bad with the system at my work as it had an internal fault and now they have to swap the whole system out. However rumour has it that L series horns will be replacing the bells so hoping to score a 439D before the work is done. Congratulations also on your bell score. Can you do a sound level test of that GS bell? Every time I hear one I swear they seem so much louder than the 439Ds and MB-24s combined. Amazing work Nic and what a great start to September
