<This inn originally had a Simplex system! This is how I found out:
Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport - Terminal 1 - Fort Snelling Unorganized Territory, MN
I’ve mentioned this one several times but there’s something new!
Because the Wheelock S8 speaker/strobes were recently discontinued, newly renovated areas have Eluxa speaker/strobes.
Grand View Lodge - Gull Lake Center - Nisswa, MN
Pulls: Silent Knight SD500-PS’
Love’s: DeFuniak Springs, FL
I originally posted this in the Make up a system thread lol. I just realized my mistake and had to correct it.
Probably not, but then again there should be no smoke detectors in bathrooms to begin with as that’s one of the places that should be avoided (along with kitchens & garages): instead heat detectors should be installed in such a location (& in this case installing a commercial one would allow it to be hooked to the larger fire alarm or security system if one’s in place) Wouldn’t surprise me if the owner of that particular Love’s either cheaped out or simply didn’t know any better with installing that residential detector.
might be used against vaping or smoking though
Maybe, but there are purpose-made vape & tobacco smoke detectors made specifically for such (which might be more evidence that the owner of that Love’s cheaped out on doing things right).
I have a love’s truck stop in my city that opened in 2021, and I found a firex G6 in it!!! If memory serves me right, those were discontinued decades ago.
You’re right: the G-6 & similar models go at least as far back as the 1990s, & I believe they had been discontinued for some years leading up to Kidde’s 2009 purchase of FireX (no idea then how a G-6 ended up in a 2021-built Love’s, unless someone cut corners again (was there any building there prior to the Love’s?).
None of the other love’s locations I went to had them.
That’s a fail. @PhotoElev wouldn’t approve.
Fire Alarms in Natick Mall:
Edwards Genesis G4F Speaker/Strobes (Set on 110CD these are very bright strobes)
Edwards Genesis G4SVWF Replacement Speaker/Strobes
Edwards GCF Speaker/Strobes
Simplex 4906-9153/9154 Speaker/Strobes

Wheelock Exceeder HSRC Horn/Strobes in Wegman’s (Set on 115CD but possibly higher)
Edwards NAs on a Siemens system huh? That’s odd…(the panel also appears to be a Siemens MXL-IQ, & a rare white cabinet model no less (since normally MXLs in general come in black cabinets)
