So here’s some context.
My school was built around 2009-2011.
The system consists of a Notifier NFS2-3030 with System Sensor spectalert advance horn strobes and remote strobes.
The smokes are FSP-851s and the pull stations are NBG12LXs (both are inrelavent due to the foucus being the Notification appliances.
In 2021, all of the spectralert advances on the system were replaced with new system sensor SWLs with SPCWL remote speakers on the ceiling, along with some weather proof advances outside and inside. The School was under construction for the past year (almost 2) to covert it to a middle school to a high school. Now they put some what I call questionable devices in with the weatherproof advances inside (now most had there back boxes except for 1 devices (which was a SWK which the rest was SPSWKs). Also there was one hallway in the Heath center for the high school which has a System Sensor P2WL but right near it is a System Sensor SPSCWL speaker strobe. I say the Upgrade was Worth it because they basically have a potential Mass Nothicaton system if they decided to use it. But I think they wasted to much money on the SPSWKs, the one SWK, and the P2WL. Just to note that the Smoke detectors are the same except for the ones in the new areas of the school and the pull stations are also the same. Panel also the same. I don’t know if there retrofit the 3030 with integrated voice (since the original system didn’t have any voice evac) or going to use a separate voice panel.
- Yes, they did waste money on upgrades
- No, the upgrade was worth it
- In the between
