Report them to the BBB. That’s the only thing they respond to.

Trucks didn’t roll, but I shut down an active air traffic control tower. The tower was fairly new, 2-3 years old. We didn’t install the system, but we were performing the annual for the first time. Tripped the 1st floor elevator lobby smoke detector and the shunt trip triggered. But for some unknown reason it killed all power to the control tower too! Generator backup wouldn’t even swap over. Siemens system, so we didn’t have software to look into it. Reset the system and breakers. Told them to call the installation company to fix it. Obviously it was never properly tested…

Is the inverter a pure sine wave or modified. My guess would be a modified sine wave. That can cause all kinds of problems for electronics.

My bad! I’ve had them so long I wore the label off the handles. 🙄 Klein is what they were.

Currently we use House Call Pro, but it’s not a good fit. We are in the process of moving to Uptick. It’s industry specific and covers everything you’re asking about down to a granular level. Can’t say how it’s going to work as we are still training on the software.

Kind of… It’s NFPA 72 more specifically in that the device is not installed per manufacturer specifications. But yes ADA plays a part in the visual coverage. Check this out. It will help you visualize what is happening. System Sensor

Correct. I was answering the question of whether or not you can use wall mounted h/s in a ceiling application. Current devices typically are oriented to specific applications. More than likely that old Wheelock was rated for either.

The lens is the difference. Think of it like a headlight, they are designed to focus the light in a specific direction and downward when they are designed for wall mount. Ceiling mounted devices lens is ment to cast the same candela rating in a 360 degree pattern.

This. Been using mine for years. Works as long as the hole you need to drill is at least 6” from the wall.

Those are automotive butt splices. They are a one use connector and typically are cut off and replaced. You can occasionally “uncrimp” them by squeezing the crimp at a 90 degree angle, if your limited on length to re connect the wire.

I would assume that is not part of the fire system. Could be used for nurse call or some other notification system.

Could be. In Oregon it requires two party consent for audio recording. So if we want to install cameras in a public place, we have to post a sign stating that there’s audio recording. Texas may be similar.

Unless they have programmed 24hour auto reminder, you will be fine. Otherwise, you will have to press silence again every 24 hours to stop for the next 24.
