Fire Alarms in Buildings (2.0)

Yes, that’s correct. Many people get that wrong if they are not experienced with Wheelock devices as they can be hard to tell apart if you don’t know what to look for. Also, just so you know, it’s best not to reply to really old posts (I’d say more than a month or so) unless you’re making an update to your old post or have some really important information.

Quite a setup there whatever that building is: main FACP, a smaller panel next to it (that I have no idea of the purpose of) with a bell mounted on the side, a StarLink radio, a system records cabinet, & what might be some kind of very old metal annunciator on the very right (as well as a couple of also-unknown cabinets on the left).

Mhm, plus a newer Bosch security system going by the keypad next to it (most of the ones I’ve been to have older Bosch/Radionics keypads instead). Also S8s & E90s in a Walmart together? Not sure I’ve ever seen that before! (I believe all I’ve ever seen are just S8s)

That’s what the supposed labels on the E50s imply, but one would think the pull stations would be marked with Siemens’ logo as well, yet they aren’t.

They are actually E90’s just so you know. Most Walmarts I’ve seen with voice evacuation have E90s in the restrooms.

Oh, yes, so they are: silly me for not checking the models first.

Oh? Perhaps that’s why I’ve never seen them there (though I might have also seen at least one Walmart with a full-size S8 in the bathroom, despite them potentially being too big for a room as small as a bathroom!).

The desigo panel is at the Live! Hotel and casino in philladelphia.

Alright. Any idea what all the other things besides the main panel might be exactly?

By the way, it’s “Desigo”.

what do you mean? like what other photos i have?

I mean all the cabinets & such surrounding the main FACP in that last photo, none of which I know the purpose of (aside from the StarLink radio).

ohhh, the lights that are flashing are is the elevator control panel, i dont know about the bell, and the other black box is a voice microphone annunciator

My local Walmart has both S8s and E90s. The S8s are used in high ceiling areas and the E90s are used in low ceiling areas. There’s also a lone Advance series strobe in the grocery side vestibule for some reason.

It was just genesis speaker strobes, common.

Another School Fire Alarm System, I would say its a Siemens CerberusPro System.

I found some interesting Alarms at Kings Island.

In one of the Restaurants they have a Wheelock EHS? Or a Wheelock MT4?


The Wheelock MT4? Or EHS?

The System also has 3 Simplex Break Glass Pull Stations. 2 of the 3 are missing the Glass Panel for some reason (likely was broken).


One of the 3 Simplex T Bars. This one lacks the Break Glass Frame

In a small Restaurant there is a System Sensor SPSW mounted to the ceiling for unknown reasons. What’s even weirder is that the rest of the System at Kings Island isn’t a Voice System. (Even the buildings that are larger than the restaurant with the SPSW).

Most of the Telephones are hooked up to Wheelock EH Horns? Or MT4 Horns? And the rest of Telephones at the park are hooked up to Gray Atlas Speakers.


The Wheelock Horn of some sort.

One of the other Buildings has an Edwards 270-SPO under a Stopper II. The Alarms in the building are unknown because I wasn’t at this Building and My Sister who showed me the picture wasn’t looking for Alarms. But if I were to make a Guess the Alarms are probably an Edwards Alarm of some sort.

In most of the Buildings they have System Sensor P2Rs, P2RKs, SRs, PC2Rs, and BG-12s.

Kings Island definitely has an interesting Fire Alarm System.

My Question is why doesn’t that System have any Strobes? I feel like the least the could’ve done was Install Strobes next to the Speakers or instead of buying a 4902 Speaker they could’ve bought a 4903 Speaker Strobe.

I hope someone finds a full-on Firecom 8500 in service, or at least fully intact.
