It's zip tied to the column. Jesus

Not only is the location out-of-whack, but I've never seen fire sprinklers run in white PVC, it's usually orange.

You sure that's not part of their plant misting system...?

 

[Deep Cover]

I'm sure it is.

Right there. Most sprinkler drops like that would have a drain and a tamper switch I think

 

[FlyingSparks]

Haha I hope that was sarcasm, it was a play on words. Yes it is the plant watering system. If you look closely, you can see the residue building up on the fire alarm.

Whatever it is it's zip tied to a column. Fail

I tend to agree but the fire alarm being sprayed 48 times an hour is funnier to me :laughing:

It's all good, it would normally be a wet location horn strobe in the garden center.

If not the fire panel would likely be in a trouble condition

Lol. At least the guy used blue hot glue, now he needs to work on using proper clips and screws :laughing:

I have my doubts after the amount it has been sprayed.

Edit: That they would notice ^

Do you do a lot of fire alarm installation and servicing?

If the horn strobe was getting wet inside it is very likely the fire panel would be reading a ground fault or short circuit.

Fire systems are monitored and when there is a problem typically the panel dials out to a central station notifying them there is a problem.

The horn/strobe is monitored by the FACP. If anything goes wrong with it, the FACP will go into a trouble alarm.

Edit; Looks like Bob beat me to it.......

Lol.

Oh, no doubt, I just don't think they would notice at this particular home depot.

 

[FlyingSparks]

Meh. I just thought it was interesting placement. Oh well. Never mind

They don't have to. The monitoring company would be notified and would call the manager.

Which do you think came first? My vote is for the horn/strobe.

The horn strobe, they installed this new rainwater plant watering system somewhat recently.

When I go to troubleshoot an intermittent earth ground trouble, one of the first things I check is the outside beacon for evidence of water intrusion. If the trouble is in when I arrive, obviously I meter everything to find the ground. If the panel is clear then the beacon is where I begin the search for the needle in the haystack.
