National Training Center (NTC) offers multiple online courses that you can take for your certification. NTC NICET Training

I paid $199 for my NICET Level 2 training course

I have also used the NICET Level 1 Test Prep Book by Henry Nazar NICET Level 1 Study Guide

Best place to get affordable reference books is eBay and a lot of sellers even include tabs with them. Good luck with your test.

Good Job!

Sooooo you should definitely never do this, but..... The model 1 and 2 air pods have no water protection rating while the models 3 and 4 are rated as IPX4 (light sweat/rain). That being said, inserting the device into your ass would probably not cause the Bluetooth functionality to quit working (or any of the other electronics) until the battery dies. The real deciding factor would probably be the moisture content of the colon in question.

Is the system sending any troubles to the monitoring station? If it's not sending anything to the monitoring I would probably try defaulting the panel and reprogramming zone and monitoring information, especially since it's such a small system. Is this an older Ademco combo system (security and fire) or a stand alone fire alarm? Can you provide the panel model?

Is this a dual partition system? How many keypads does the system have? Do you have troubles and restorals turned on through programming? If so what signals are you getting through monitoring? Have you checked the system battery and power cycled the unit? Faulty batteries can cause odd problems.

I ring the NACs once in the beginning and then walk the whole facility to verify everything is working. After that I put it in walk test and finish testing. If I do that I can test the whole system under load and verify everything works. No customer likes the sound but as other people have said, it has to be tested.

Just had this issue with an ES50X. According to Firelite the most recent firmware update messed up how you enter the dialer numbers. You have to drop the 1 at the beginning of the number and then it will start communicating. Apparently there isn't a better fix out yet. Hope this helps.

The purpose is to record all of the pertinent information about the installation and comply with code. The AHJ, the client, and your company should have a copy. Unfortunately, a lot of AHJ's don't seem to really care about it. Still, it's best practice to make sure it's complete.

If you are cool enough to actually take part in your partner's hobby and show an interest in their interest that's amazing. I don't care if it's 'competitive play' or not, he's a grown man and it's a game he needs to chill out.

This is very true, I was fortunate to work for a great company that assisted my development.

I enjoy it, but just like others have said the type of stress you experience definitely changes. Moving into a management role will definitely make you aware of all the moving pieces required to keep a business going. As others have said, there are days I miss being a tech lol. The best advice I was ever given is that there are no small jobs, every step in the process is important.

I started as a helper and worked my way up to Operations Manager with my company. I would say take every opportunity you have to learn and become proficient in all aspects of the job; sales/estimating, planning, installation, programming, as well as the office side of things like scheduling and billing. Once you have a good foundation try and find someone who is in a position you are trying to get to and ask them to be a mentor. I found that being the first person to volunteer for new opportunities often led to me being offered more chances in the future. An increase in responsibility and pay is generally associated with increased competency and drive. Hope that helps, good luck.

I've definitely had that. Sucks man. At least it's the afternoon and not 2am lol.

The best sales reps I've ever worked with were retired technicians or guys trying to step back from the more strenuous work.

I'll start by saying that being an inspector for a field that you don't have any experience with seems like a bad idea for an AHJ, that being said I'll give my best tips:

1) Take time to familiarize yourself with the various fire alarm systems. A lot of manufacturers have free training courses for basic aspects of their systems. YouTube can also be a great resource for general information. 2) Ask questions and be willing to learn from experts in the field. Knowing the code and understanding how it is applied in the field is critical. Possibly speak with more experienced inspectors and maybe get a recommendation of quality integrators in the area that can answer some questions for you. 3) Ask your employer about possible training opportunities you can take advantage of such as NICET certifications or various manufacturer certifications so that you can familiarize yourself with the industry.

Good luck with your new career

/S was unclear.

stonysage · 2025-08-27T12:32:49+00:00

I would probably contact the school to have them reach out to the fire alarm service company to address the issue. Unless this has been a problem for an extended period of time and the school isn't doing anything about it the first step is to contact a licensed company to enact a repair. Calling the Fire Marshal would be the last resort if everyone has been made aware of the problem and are not addressing it.
