Today I was at a Halloween bowling party with my brother and a friend at the Hanson Bowladrome in Hanson, MA. Their current fire alarm system is rather mundane, but what’s worth noting is that some old devices were still intact, albeit non-functional. The building had a Gamewell-FCI Flex-series fire alarm panel of some kind, and the alarms were System Sensor SpectrAlert Advance horn/strobes (not surprisingly), the pulls were conventional Gamewell-FCI MS-7s (rebranded BG-12s), and there were System Sensor i3 smoke detectors throughout the building, along with at least one Chemtronics 601 heat sensor. But next to a fire exit, there was an abandoned ESL 1500-series panel that was still there and unlocked; just not powered up! I also saw a couple of Fire-Lite BG-6 pulls that were installed rather high, but left intact and disconnected (one of them was virtually next to a BG-12.) Didn’t see any old alarm signals; chances are they installed the Advances where the old ones were, and they were probably either Federal Vibratone or older Wheelock horns or horn/strobes, as I’ve seen those used on 80s-style ESL systems.
