Yeah, I think CLIP devices poll red, with the possible exception of control modules.

The S464A existed in an addressable version during the FS90 era.
There’s also some S464G1007’s (Honeywell-branded BG-12’s) in Terminal 1.
Also, the EST system was replaced with an XLS3000 (a rebranded Notifier NFS2-3030) over the past few years.
Or are you writing about Terminal 2?
I guess I was just writing about the whole airport in general but I did see that XLS-1000 annunciator. That’s good to know!
My info about the XLS3000 upgrade was about Terminal 1, so I’m assuming you were in Terminal 2.

Pulls: XMS-Ds
Detectors: OP921s (Some on DB-ADPTs, replacing FP-11s DI-3s, and a few DI-6s, and others newly installed) At least one FP-11 and one DI-6 (Not accessible during the upgrade so couldn’t be replaced, disconnected)

Biden Welcome Center (Delaware House Travel Plaza) - Newark, DE
Panel: EST Addressable Panel (What appears to be a QuickStart by the annunciators but I’m not so sure)
Pulls: SIGA-270s
Detectors: None (that are visible)
AVs: Genesis wall mount speaker/strobes and speakers as well as Integrity speaker/strobes outside
Frank Sinatra (Atlantic City) Service Area (Garden State Parkway) - Galloway Township, NJ
Panel: Siemens Addressable Panel
Pulls: HMS-Ds
Detectors: None (that are visible)
AVs: ZH-MC-Rs and ZR-MC-Rs
Update: Those empty junction boxes have indeed been filled… with GC-series remote speakers. Seems like they don’t want to rely solely on the PA anymore.
The remote strobes in those common areas were also replaced with G4-series strobes, and a few speaker/strobes.
The rest of the system, including the older Genesis speaker/strobes in tenant spaces, remains intact.
A renovated condominium unit also has a SIGA-HRD and, interestingly enough, Wheelock E90 speakers.

This is a very odd setup.
Did you see the simplex panel?
That looks like they’re in the midst of an upgrade. I’ve seen pictures of this airport, and they had 2901-9838 horns on 4903-9101 strobe plates.
I’ve been there twice over the past few months and nothing has changed but who knows
Palace Theater, Stamford, CT:
- Panel: EST3
- Pulls: SIGA-278s (EST branded)
- N/As: Genesis speaker strobes
- Detectors: SIGA-PSes
I heard something coming from a nearby building, and turns out it was this Siemens voice evacuation system (Desigo Fire Safety Modular or Cerberus Pro Modular) going off at the Aria Condominiums (this is in Naples, FL). I believe it was being tested. (it was silenced shortly after I started recording)

Well, if you thought the Danbury Mall had a weird system? Well, I present to you all two systems from Stamford, CT that are very diverse!
Ridgeway Mall, Stamford, CT:
Photos are available on my Google Photos album
This building is divided into three blocks: the Staples block (2391-2299 Summer Street), the Stop and Shop/Michael’s/Marshalls/Old Navy block (2200 Bedford St and 2233 Summer St), and the office block (which spans Sixth Street and some of Summer Street).

Family Fare Supermarket- Mandan, ND
Panel- Potter PFC-4064 (Replaced the building’s original Simplex 4004 that died a few years ago).
Notification Appliances- One Simplex 4903 mechanical horn strobe at the front of the store. There is also a TrueAlert remote strobe in the pharmacy and 4903 remote strobes in the bathrooms.
Pull Stations- One Simplex 2099-9754 at the front service counter
Detectors- There are a few Simplex duct detectors and conventional TrueAlarms
Fails- The panel is at the main entrance and is currently completely blocked by a stack of extremely heavy cases of water bottles. There is also an extreme lack of notification coverage (especially strobe coverage) throughout the store. This is because the only notification appliance throughout the entire main area of the store is the one 4903 horn strobe. That is also the only horn in the building (at least in the areas that customers are allowed to access).
Note- This building was built in the late 90’s and is sprinklered.
