I know many people would be interested of what the Burj khalifa has in terms of fire alarm systems so here I am posting of what I discovered in my dubai trip.
Very interesting. I wonder if any other buildings in the UAE use American brands.
Many, most buildings there had EST (dubai mall and airport included), the hotel I stayed at has notifier, ive seen simplex aswell.
Such a big building would definitely require a voice evac system

Not sure about require but it does have voice evac
What I arguably find most neat is that white-colored RSG NC-SX-E break-glass station: not sure I’ve ever seen one in that color. What’s it used for exactly, emergency door release?
Nice!
Not necessarily require, but it definitely add to the overall life safety. That’s more of what I meant.
To unlock doors with access control incase of an emergency
Ah okay, interesting…(I probably would have gone with a different kind of station since break-glass stations are obviously one-time use but alright)
Not necessarily one time use as you dont need to replace the device after a use. surprised they didnt use a green call point though
It technically is one-time use considering you obviously have to replace the glass after smashing it. Yeah: not using a green station or point is rather unusual given those are most commonly used for emergency door release from what I’ve seen.
Why do they have advances, but also classic speaker Strobes.
Is this permitted by the Dubai code? In the U.S., unlocking hardware needs to be mounted on the door itself, unless a sensor is provided to unlock the door when it detects someone approaching it. I don’t think break-glass buttons are permitted in the latter scenario.
The Advance strobes, horns, and chimes were released in 2006 but the speakers were released in 2008.
The building is very large and needed many devices so the devices were ordered before hand and it just so happened that some are classics
Oh I see. Thank you!
I think so, ive seen it in other buildings including its airport. Also in europe it is very common to see green call points on doors with mag locks or drop bolts
