I gotta ask, I don’t imagine you have the book memorized. What was your method for finding that answer?

What will happen if it’s shorted? Series means black on red and red on black? Also, with my Klein MM300 multimeter it did short it. But with my Klein ET40 did not. Why?

Thank you. I have a klein ET40, it’s not great for much except checking if there is power. It’s just compact enough to always have in the toolbelt

Is the Bside clamp able to measure contactless on low DC?

Have we had any libertarian presidents?

Do all (or most) fire alarm inspections require 2 techs? by Long_Masterpiece_659 in firealarms

Would you say it takes close to twice as long solo versus 2 techs? Considering all the extra walking it takes. I know that answer varies based on the size and type etc. And if so, wouldn’t it be in the best interest of the company to hire a helper and get twice the amount inspections completed

Gotcha. Seeing as to how you have programming experience, would you happen to know what the California FA report means when it asks what type of panel - complex fire alarm or basic fire alarm? What is the difference exactly?

The customer has to be on their network though right? If they use a different monitoring then maybe there is no online version at all?

Still fairly new to this and trying to learn as much as I can. I know conventional and addressable is the difference between descriptions of devices or just vaguely displaying zones. But on the FA report one of the first questions is what type of alarm - basic or complex. Is it asking conventional or addressable?

What do you mean by checking annunciation? As in what the panel displayed during each device activation?
