Spirit of Life Church- Mandan, ND
This church was originally built in the 70’s, and was expanded to around 3x the size in the mid-90’s. The fire alarm system was only installed to protect the newer part of the building. The 70’s portion was repurposed into a community food pantry and soup kitchen. The building pretty much remains unchanged since the 90’s addition.
Panel: Likely an EST LSS4
Notification Appliances: EST 792 (Pre-Integrity) horn/strobes and their single-gang remote strobe variants
Pull Stations- EST 270-SPOs
Detectors: EST 6270B or 6250B smoke detectors. I only saw one in the building, right near the entrance to the unprotected 70’s area. This is kind of concerning because most of the building seems to have no automatic detection and this is not a sprinklered building. I hope they have duct detectors. Wherever the panel is (I don’t know), it probably has a detector near it as well.
Annunciator: EST RSA4 annunciator in a cabinet that looks like this (Credit to @El_Chupacabra for the photo (not one that I took from the church)):
The photo shows a SAN annunciator. The only difference is that the church’s annunciator cabinet only has one row of zone annunciation cards with only 4 LED’s in use. Also, the cabinet has tinted glass rather than clear glass. The RSA4 annunciator itself looks like this:
Unlike most systems of this age, I can’t see this one getting replaced anytime soon, as it’s remained untouched and almost completely trouble free since the day it was installed. Also, they are not planning to make any major changes to the building anytime soon.
Thanks to @TheCarson116 and @El_Chupacabra for all of the help identifying the panel and annunciator in this topic, as I really don’t know much at all about EST history (although I do know a little more now!).
