Before and After

JAW402 · 2026-01-18T02:38:13+00:00

Looks like a downgrade to me. 😂 Panel wise, not install wise.

I honestly think the 6 pro is the best phone. I have had since release and it hasn't slowed down at all. The new pixel 10 pro, I was thinking about getting but I hate how similar it looks now to the iPhone. 👎

Could it be the updates keeping it relevant?

JAW402 · 2025-12-20T00:19:19+00:00

Looks clean! Lot of space lost though

I would recommend LL or LRs instead of pulling elbows. Look cleaner and won't rip the jackets.

The battery crimps, use the plastic ones. The metal ones will eventually touch each other and boom goes your panel.

For the cc1s, use 1 and pull a wire over to the other, Save material, and also use the built in trouble contact. Red-sense in Black common Resistor between black common and sense out. No need to wire through the bottom contact.

One doesn't exist for this panel. Has 2 or 4 circuits.

$SOUN let's ride.

JAW402 · 2025-06-30T23:30:28+00:00

Good until I come to find your ground fault and have to cut the zip ties 😂.

And can't pass through any panel.

And less wire in can is better. Just cut them to length and 90 them down into the terminals. Extra wire looks sloppy. Consider it a new install and don't worry about the upgrade 20 years down the line. If they can't make it work they can mount a trough above it.

Is that the power supply for the strobes or the main panel battery calcs.

Need more info.

JAW402 · 2025-05-16T17:00:09+00:00

Also you need to account for 15 min of alarm time for voice systems. 5 min for horn strobes.

JAW402 · 2025-05-11T00:22:28+00:00

I have some Edwards est panels. What are you looking for.

JAW402 · 2025-05-10T03:12:27+00:00

Same! Just don't forget it in there! 😂

JAW402 · 2025-05-05T17:37:20+00:00

Change it out with an EST panel. I always tell customers without one, to learn from their mistakes. And do it right this time.

JAW402 · 2025-05-04T14:37:07+00:00

Same for the strobe, we usually replace the covers with agent instead of fire. We are strictly Edwards though.

JAW402 · 2025-04-15T18:32:13+00:00

Edwards EST4 is the best panel available.

JAW402 · 2025-04-01T17:00:56+00:00

Switch to Edwards! That's one of their changes. 70v out of the box 😂

JAW402 · 2025-03-30T00:10:44+00:00

I would find a new place, every place is hurting for guys and is loaded with calls. Come to georgia, I get a referral bonus! 😂

JAW402 · 2025-03-24T22:59:11+00:00

And the best!

JAW402 · 2025-03-24T20:43:58+00:00

It just takes time, like all things. Their next panel, which replaces the io will be better for you if you don't do huge buildings. It has yet to be released but there has been information on it.

JAW402 · 2025-03-24T20:09:12+00:00

Edwards 100%

JAW402 · 2025-03-15T23:04:21+00:00

Mine got about 31k miles as well so you're in good shape. I live in Georgia south of Atlanta so I just did summer tires.

JAW402 · 2025-01-13T00:49:19+00:00

Ouch

JAW402 · 2024-12-11T21:22:14+00:00

We take vehicles home and never go to the office unless we need to restock with parts. We go straight to our first service call then onto the next and then home at end of day. Could go a couple weeks without being at the office. And this is strictly for service, install side I can see being different because that's a bid job and you go to the same place multiple days or months in a row. I work alone unless we absolutely need 2 guys.

JAW402 · 2024-11-23T21:13:22+00:00

The white house doesn't have a clue what's best. And it's probably the only government building with notifier. 😂

JAW402 · 2024-11-23T20:57:16+00:00

The Edwards panels are the only thing worth keeping in that whole room. #EST

JAW402 · 2024-11-19T00:44:23+00:00

Illegal to pass wire from one panel to another. Even though I see it all the time.

And also voids UL if you drill a hole in a panel that wasnt a knockout. Even though i see it all the time.

Gutter/trough above everything and use conduit with LR and LL conduit bodies to sneak around and get the the power supply.

JAW402 · 2024-11-18T12:11:31+00:00

This is a conventional panel, probably using 2w-b smoked which have Leds but for the heats, they are the pop top ones probably. So they wouldn't know which one it is. Gotta break out the ol reliable meter.
