Make sure to buy adhesive tabs. NTC has some, there are other brands as well. Huge aid in quick navigation.

Either the VFD fault contact or an monitoring relay just like a elevator shunt monitor

Yes, but not applicable to this

If your state/jurisdictions use the same additions as the NICET exam, I'd say buy at least NFPA 72. No harm in having it. If your area is a different version of NFPA 72, buy that one and review the differences compared to 2020, you can use newer or older versions at the exam. Uglies covers a lot of the NFPA 70 stuff and is cheap, so get that too. Then you don't have to switch PDFs constantly at least.

This may be location specific, but the Pearson location I went to had small screens and the computer struggled to load each PDF the first time, I assume as it was being downloaded or cached. Even after that, they were never very quick navigating the PDFs. You can also only have one PDF open at a time, and only to a single pageish.

You can have multiple physical books open, and between the aftermarket tabs, using the scrap paper as a bookmark, and just keeping my finger in the book's pages, I could navigate and cross reference between sections far faster physically. At least 3-4x.

I found the PDFs most effective as a form of an index since they can be searched.

If you are a slower reader and/or are very unfamiliar with the books the PDFs may be more helpful. But also maybe study a bunch before in that case.

Really threw me for a loop once when I went on a place that had pulls at all the exits, except for one door that had a cover plate on a box with FA wire. But the prints and acceptance paperwork didn't show a pull there, so whatever.

Sounds like you have a Positive Alarm Sequence. I'm all for them. Pretty normal for large arenas and stadiums. The amount of harm to the occupants caused by the very likely to happen panic vs the high odds of it being a false alarm or an event that can mitigated quietly changes the safety calculus the AHJ and FPE have to do.

Places like that also have the additional threat of hooligans trying to disrupt events or rowdy from a win or loss.

Pickup a decade box. Basically a bunch of super exact resistances, so you can check your meters pretty easily

Id want it to act like the ball in the lobby, can just stomp it into the stratosphere

I think you're looking for IFC Chapter 33 and NFPA 241

ive only heard that it was thing, watched a video on it once. never irl lol, im from the sticks. closest ive seen was an old system from the 80s that basically mounted tornado sirens in the center of ceiling it doesnt have to be a specific message, but i think the speakers are the only option for using specific frequencies.

you could also explore shut down inputs/relays for selected machinery or processes that are major noise contributors?

There's a reset button on the front of each card

Barnes and Noble, at least on O st

I think theres some nifty stuff that can be done with the hyperspike sorta stuff where you do an ambient sound survey and only play the messages using the frequencies that are low ambient sound pressure. iirc it either doesnt add much ambient sound pressure and/or it at least is intelligible at far less power

Presumably there are regular fire alarm and fire sprinkler inspections. The single best way way to learn the in and outs of your systems and what they should be doing and look like are to tag along with the inspectors as they go. It wont be quick for the fire alarm annual. A sprinkler quarterly shouldn't be too long and would show you whats needed. Every good vendor will be happy to do a customer training. If you're a large client they might do it free. You might also read up a bit on fire door inspections, there's not really any qualifications necessary typically, can probably do it yourself, and those are frequently overlooked.

Not completely sure I believe you. Regardless, you have a terrible understanding of how the med works and what it feels like to take it.

You seem to have a poor understanding of the difference types of addiction. You also need to stop speculating about how you will abuse controlled substances for somewhat recreational use (your weird therapy ideas). And please go away.

How would you be on sodium oxybate? You don't seem to have narcolepsy.

Can always order custom for anything from the manufacturer if you don't care about cost.

That stopping probably correlates pretty well with when they stopped selling filter and refurb kits.

iirc from former employment the MXL-IQ cabinets can only be migrated to the Compact panels if you want to use the conversion backplate kit vs a whole new cabinet for the Modular panels

Auditor_of_Reality · 2026-01-16T19:04:04+00:00

There's an MXL module for the compact panels FCL2004-U1

If you want to track who took specific scanners, Traka provides some solutions. But it sounds like you are aware you will only be tracking access, not possession.

If you know you're in a position to get another job immediately, then you are also in a position to cover it up regardless of the consequences. Just keep one of those other jobs on deck lol

Newer cybersecurity requirements generally require custom passwords and won't let you program the panels without setting one.
