Here’s a demo on how to wire a 4 wire smoke detector to a fire alarm control panel. The panel shown is a Fire-Lite MS-4424B, and the smoke is a BRK 2824 photoelectric. NOTE: there is some strobe footage shown, is you suffer any ill effects from viewing a strobe flash, please do not watch.

OK thanks anyway your video helps me a lot…………. i hope someday there’s somebody post the est programming tutorial……… god bless……

if you talking about prgraming an EST panel, I don’t have one. The EST/Edwards fire alarms I have are conventional, and need no programing.

hi, can you make a video tutorial in programming the est-Eduard System Technology Fire Alarm?

thank you for this …
thank you for this video. I am wiring a 4 wire smokey to a DSC panel. Can you tell me what the PGM circuit is for and what PGM stands for? (The manual does not). Should I use the pgm circuit? or a standard zone circuit? Thanks. (i have the voltage wired up, but was confused about the relay connection) – thanks

orribly explained it s ununderstandble, beside the accent that we could even pretend to be passabe or understandable. it s the way you keep going giving for granted, and going ahead saing things just about.

Quick Question, on …
Quick Question, on my fire alarms, i bought my house 10 years ago, so i decided to replace em’. My old ones had White,yellow,then black colored wires. Now my new ones hace White, red, black, in that order. im just wondering if there is a difference between the yellow and red wire. Thanks

I am so not in the mood to deal with idiots like you right now. Next time you have a thought, please keep it to yourself.

a 4 wire smoke uses …
a 4 wire smoke uses 2 wires for power, and 2 for initiating zone., while a 2 wire just uses 2 hooked into an iniating zone, that also doubles as detector power. Now as for which is better, both are good, but 2 wire is much simpler to install.

What is the difference between 4 wire and 2 wire? Which is better?

Great video !!! I use these same pre-action panels at work,mainly on dry-pipe systems.

True – addressable …
True – addressable system devices are inherently supervised through loss of communication with the control panel. However, this video is about a conventional system that requires end-of-line devices for supervision unless it’s a Class A system where the ends of the circuits run back to the control panel.

if u have an …
if u have an addressable system such as the902 series by national time and signal u dont need an eol resistor for supervision

kewl, i think my smoke burnt and all the wiring was right but i am getting an addresable panel with free addresable pullstations and smokes….but nice man

That is absolutely required for all 4 wire smoke installations. Too often people don’t know about it or don’t feel the need to install one.

Great vid, but you …
Great vid, but you forgot the end-of-line power supervision relay required on 4-wire detectors to supervise the power. It goes at the last detector on the circuit and if power fails, the relay drops out and disconnects the end-of-line resistor, producing a trouble signal.
