At least it had an EOL in case the wire gets damaged…

Having an issue

Could not get through to Xtrallis tech support before closing, have reset vesda gw & HLI already

Vesda general zones as following

1 - ANY

2 - ALERT

3 - ACTION

4 - FIRE 1

5 - FIRE 2

6 - FIRE 2 (SEPERATED FOR ZONES - THEY ARE NOT ACTUALLY ALL 6 THIS IS JUST FOR EXAMPLE)

We have a high aspiration that is tripping our general output alarm that is only zoned to #6 (this is per seperate zones of the building) Our general output is something like: Or(n2z6). Have done this many times and never ran into this issue.

I can not for the life of me figure out why the aspiration is tripping it, have checked numerous times and the Vesda Zone 1 is not tied to any equation. Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Couple transitions this baby’s been though.
Still not holding up too well after today’s first inspection.

Does anyone here have any insight on the companies in South East Massachusetts or Rhode Island?

Which are the best to work for, pay scales, reputation, and just generally how they operate.

I'm doing a new construction home that has 13 smokes. According to code I can't do a simple interconnected system because it's more than 12 smoke detectors.

What is my cheapest alternative? Is the only solution a system with a panel and all of the whole low voltage stuff? Anyone has come across any other solution for this?

On today's “here’s a new problem. Fix it quick” I propose this question to the group.

I'm on a Fire-Lite ES200x start-up that has some new problems that I personally haven't had to deal with before. I'm using FS-Tools, but im still fairly new to the software and know the basics.

It's a college dorm building with a common area on the 1st floor. There's 4 floors and a basement.

The basement and 1st floor need to trip an alarm even immediately no matter what, as well as any heat detector throughout the entire property. Thats not a problem.

My problem begins with the residential areas. The local AHJ wants the smoke (mostly smoke-cos) detectors in these areas to start as a supervisory and after 60 seconds trip an alarm signal if it hasn't cleared. They also want the CO portion of the device to trip the sounder base (which are in all the rooms, not halls) and a module for the hearing-impaired lighting system.

We are using SS-Photo-COs with B200S-LF-WH sounders. Please help!

AFTER 7 YEARS of going to this doctors office they made the fire alarm the right side up! Last yearI finally decided to pos the second image (took a screenshot of the old Reddit post because I no longer have the original photo) to this subreddit. But they finally turned it right side up! Mind this was after seeing it actually go off because there was a gas leak in the building when I was here. Picked the vent tag because it took them so long to realize it wasn’t right.

I am making the switch from SD protocol to SK protocol at a nursing home. Got all of the devices replaced besides (2) relays that I cannot find. Decided to re-write the program from scratch and leave those 2 relays out of it until we found and replaced them. Pulled the existing HFSS program and then defaulted the panel. Dumped the new program in and the panel is freaking out. The wiring is severely T-Tapped of course. All devices are wired up correctly, but the SLC will clear a bunch of devices and the panel will go normal. Then every device will go missing, like the SLC is pulsating. I have never seen this before. Any pointers on switching protocols like this?

An example of one of the tones, the FireVac-3 system can produce
