UL Required to get License

Dec 05, 2005 66 Replies

Isn't it interesting how this thread turned from a news item about UL requiring licensing to provide service in Florida to another typical Bass Flame by Innuendo. What are you even doing responding in this thread, Robert?? You don't install *anything*, aren't licensed in Florida, and couldn't find your way around a fire alarm system if you had the manual *and* the software. You're a parts pusher. The only difference between you and the guys from Tri-Ed or ADI is that they work for companies that actually *support* the industry, local dealers, and installers!!!

Doesn't what?? You didn't finish your sentence. Just left all of us "hanging there", wondering what other bullshit was going to spew from that new Dell of yours...

Was this before or after you tried to get him fired by filing a false complaint with his boss?? I can't quite remember now...

municipality this issue is present, you would realize the comments you are making are unfounded.

This is the Robert I remember... "Twisting" the night away... Talk about "kicks and giggles"...

I thought they used thatch in Brazil...

UL is just one choice...

Did he say he was??? Hello??? Dang!!! No one's home again...

USA., you **must** buy from ADI.

How is that a problem?? You don't have to be listed with UL to install, service or inspect a fire alarm system...

Where did he say he was losing fire alarm sales???

Heh... Sure, Robert... Who verifies the systems you sell?? Who services the systems you sell?? Better yet... who installs the systems you sell and do you provide the tech support??

Apparently neither did you... when you were running your "modestly successful central station alarm company...

Nope... That's not what the inspectors want. Not ever being involved with UL or ULC certificated systems, you wouldn't know, would you??

Where did he say he was unable to meet the standards??

Let's see... who would be a good reputable firm??? In Florida?? That specializes in Fire Alarm... and is licensed... Ermmm... I guess that leaves you out on a number of counts...

Where did he say this?? Go back and read what he wrote again, Robert. Before you wind up putting both feet into your mouth...

Heh... Bob doesn't have anything to worry about... You, OTOH... Didn't you just recently undergo an examination by the ECLB?? Or was that the State Attorney's office??

Robert. I'd ask you to stop, but I know you won't listen, so I'll just sit back and watch you make a bigger fool of yourself than usual... Tsk!!

Did he say that??? Where???

"Doing" a commercial fire alarm isn't the same as "selling" a commercial fire alarm. "Doing" one has several components in it that you can't offer. Like *installation*, *service*, *inspection*. What you don't seem to realize is that *anyone* can *sell* a commercial fire alarm system (even the guys behind *my* counter). ;-)

Don't you mean "truth"??

Really?? Where??

Nope... it's called "kicks and giggles"...

Robert, This thread is a perfect example of why you get so much flak in the newsgroup. You were not UL listed when you were installing, most of us can't afford $2500 to be a member. Your whole discussion appears to be argumentative and demeaning to everyone! I generally agree with your postings, but you are out of line here. Allan

Allan,

Roberts contributions to this thread are nothing more than an attack on me. That is OK, he doesn't bother me. I sometimes wonder if his negativity sometimes dilutes the importancy of some of the information though, whether it be from me, you or anyone else. He, for one, is the first to shot the messenger. He is definately disruptive at times. I could have brought info to the group that cow's are going to be mooing to the tune of Silent Night and he would have argued that cow's only bark at the moon and chastize me for not upgrading my herd. He is just mad because he knows that I am privy to info that he doesn't get until they knock on his door. Thanks for noticing his position, as out of line, though.

Wow did I ever pick a bad time to quit sniffing glue. Allan slaps Bass on the same night I am wrong about something? Talk about signs of the Apocolypse. Jesus Christ Mikey I better run to Confession before the church closes.

I was just jerking Worthless' chain. Kicks and giggles, you know.

Of course I wasn't UL Listed. I never needed the listing because the vast majority of my installations were residential. I wasn't trying to market my CS to other dealers (though a few did contract us to do their monitoring) so it wasn't worth the expense or bother. I wondered how long it would take for someone to mention that I never bothered with a UL Listing either. :^)

As to the noise in the newsgroup, it started up as soon as I came back and I wasn't the one who started it. The same morons, beginning with Olson and Leuck, started the same crap they always do. Truth is I couldn't care less what they think. I answer end users' questions, try to help the occasional newbie tech and run my online business. If that bothers them and/or compels them to fill the newsgroup with assinine, schoolyard garbage, that's OK too.

You don't like being attacked, eh? Good. Learn something, moron.

I wouldn't call your pitiful efforts an "attack" exactly. "Flailing about" as you did just made you look childish and petty...

You know Frank I have a friend at P1 who's been to every Prince concert that's ever taken place in Texas, he's got every Prince album including a few dozen nobodies heard of, he has a notebook with all his Prince ticket stubs and a ton of Prince posters..

He's says he's not infatuated with Prince and doesn't think he has a problem...you know what I mean?

What!!! YOu gotta problem with "Prince"????

I simply made a comment that your only contributions were an attack on me, but if you would have read further, you might have noticed that I **also** said that they don't bother me. Obviously, by your ending, "Learn something (snip more insults)" you are obiviously bothered, due to your interpetation of attacks, when they are nothing more than amusement (kicks and giggles) for those that realize your meger intellectual capabilities and your propensity to babble. We know you get all excited, like a little kid, when you post these type of things, so go to the bathroom quick before you pee your pants, than you can come back and play.

Uh-huh... and DVD's... and posters... and a cologne... and... and... this is a test, right?? I see what you guys are doing... OK... OK... so I ordered a couple of tube tops from Robert... I *never* wore 'em though (in public)... There nice because I don't have to turn on the room light to go to the bathroom... And my wife likes 'em because it makes it easier to find me in the back yard after dark.

Hitting the REPLY button is just instinct for you isn't it?

Actually, it's a "reflex"... My "instincts" were warning about replying in this thread though... ;-)

Connecticut. That WAS a UL listed central station, wasn't it?

Nope. I never needed a UL listing. But it was fun getting your Worthless pal all defensive, especially after the crap he's said about me.

Yep. The fact is that all but a handful of installations by UL listed alarm companies meet UL standards. For most the UL certificate is just a marketing gimick. If you want to install commercial fire alarm systems for a living, you really should go for the UL listing. The same applies if you want to bid on banks and such. Most government contracts don't require it (or at least they didn't up to 5 years ago when I sold my alarm company).

If it bothers you when I put one of your pals on the defensive that's a plus.

Speaking of UL listings, leadership and so forth.... Oh, Mugsy? Naah. No point in asking. The idiot can't even spell UL, let alone fill out the application.

Mr. Bass....You might want to check the UL central station you recommend to all your DIY residential customers, the one that's on your web-sites. They're not UL listed for residential.....They only have a UUFX listing, that's not residential my friend.....CVSU is Residential Monitoring.

So are you are misleading your customers again, eh..Mr. BAss. Or, are your speaking about something you know nothing about, as usual.......

Before you run of the mouth Mr. Bass....watch out where your foot is.....
