“American” fire alarms in other countries

In Narita Airport in Japan there are no pull stations or notification appliances… they rely on smoke detectors or reporting the fire via emergency phone and then I assume the evacuation message is simply transmitted over the PA system.

The box next to the red hydrant lamp reads 非常電話 which is emergency phone in Japanese.

Ironically enough, they put in notification appliances in the form of Patlite rotating beacons for when someone opens an emergency exit

Given my last post was slightly off topic(my apologies) I would like to bring this thread back on topic with the American alarms of Incheon Airport Terminal 2.

I believe that unlike Terminal 1 there is an EST system in use at Terminal 2, with Genesis Xenon and LED remote strobes and SIGA detectors paired with GFS call points

The old airport has street view images that went through it in 2013, which shows the Simplex devices. You can see the Simplex smoke and the remote strobes, and to the right, you will also find the pull station. I looked a little further, and it looks like there are some Truealert remote strobes as well.

Instead of a speaker/strobe setup, I’m guessing these remote strobes are paired with a PA system for voice evac? That’s how it’s done in Korea

Bonus: System Sensor remote strobe at Onsu Station in SK, the little white and blue box off to the right is a DBE(Tyco) damper switch
