Fire Alarms in Buildings (2.0)

Italian American Banquet & Conference Center (Livonia) - According to the website, this center opened in 1994, and already, it is on its second system. Google Street View imagery taken between April and May 2016 shows what the building’s original system looked like before it was replaced.

Old System:
Originally, the center was built with a National Time system consisting of what looked like an older Honeywell 6160-series annunciator next to an AED machine, 641 pull stations behind STI-1100-series covers, ESL 445CT heat detectors above elevator doors, and National Time’s version of the Faraday 6120-5511 horn/strobes.

New System:
The center did not use National Time for its replacement; instead, it went with Fire-Lite. Now, the system consists of an ANN-80-R annunciator at the main entrance, Fire-Lite branded BG-12LX pull stations, and System Sensor P2R and PC2R (plus one P2RK) horn/strobes. Interestingly, the ESL detectors from the old system were retained.
