@ScriptedStarlight, is this an interesting EVAX system or what?

how did you know it was a firelite addressable system? did the pulls show a fire lite logo or did you only base it off the detector style
There were Fire-Lite BG-12LX pull stations, and there was an ANN-80 annunciator at the front entrance. I should’ve mentioned that.

That first combo is quite common, while the second is not, but it’s also quite interesting.

It’s probably a replacement for a failed 4903 combo. There’s a lot of 4903 combos there
New Building For A Burger Place Near My HS That Is Getting Its Old Location Demo’d As We Speak
Previous building (which isn’t too far from the new location - literally only like under 50 ft away lol) didn’t have an FA system, but the new location has a DMP system with SS LED L-Series strobes.
Overall setup. DMP station + annunciator, and LED L-Series.
Station up-close.
Annunciator up-close.
NA up-close.
Not pictured is what is presumably an outdoor-rated LED L-Series on the external walls of the building

I’m glad they didn’t go with a Silent Knight system. It’s cool to see a new DMP system.
Yeah right? I’ve seen a million Silent Knight systems, most of which have went to s**t because of cheap ahh power supplies.

Almost anything is better than Silent Knight. EST used to be the “laughingstock” of the fire alarm industry (whether or not that was deserved is debatable), but I think Silent Knight, and more broadly Honeywell now deserves to be.

Right you are, as do Eaton & JCI for what they’ve done to the companies they’ve acquired (Honeywell was better in that aspect for a while after they acquired Pittway & all the other companies they now own, but in recent years even they’ve “faltered”).

Cadillac Jack’s Gaming Resort- Deadwood, SD
This is a casino “resort” in Deadwood, South Dakota. Deadwood is a gold rush city that is situated in the Black Hills. It is mainly known for its historic buildings, street life, tourism attractions & businesses, restaurants, and casinos/gambling. It has a population of about 1,500 people, but it attracts around 2.5 million tourists annually. I would say it’s like if Las Vegas was a small town.
This resort consists of three hotels: SpringHill Suites by Marriott, DoubleTree by Hilton, and Tru by Hilton. They are distinct buildings that share walls, but are only open to each other at the first floor.
SpringHill Suites:
This building is the most separated building, as it is only accessible from the other buildings by a small hallway. This is a pretty normal hotel, with the lobby, a pool, and a small conference/convention area on the first floor, three floors of hotel rooms above that, and an underground parking garage below the building.
Panel: Kidde/GE FX- or VS- series addressable panel
Notification Appliances: Kidde EG1F-HDVM and EGCF-HDVM horn/strobes, and EG1F-HDVM and EGCF-VM remote strobes in most areas. The pool area and outdoor areas have red Gentex Commander 2/3 horn/strobes in GOE enclosures.
Pull Stations: Kidde/GE GSA-M278 addressable pull stations
Smoke Detectors: Kidde/GE FX-PD or V-PS addressable smoke detectors, with SB4U sounder bases in the rooms
DoubleTree (and casino and restaurant on ground level):
This building is the main building/hub of the whole place, as it is in the middle. The first floor has casino floor space, a customer assistance desk, and a Mexican restaurant. The other three floors have hotel rooms and amenities.
Panel: Most likely a Harrington HS-3030 running CLIP protocol addressable devices
Notification Appliances: White Gentex Commander 2/3 strobes and horn/strobes. The hotel rooms have GX90-4W mini horns. All of the devices are rebranded by Harrington Signal.
Pull Stations: Harrington HSPA1T-S CLIP protocol addressable pull stations
Detectors: System Sensor 2251 and 2251B addressable smoke detectors and 5251RP addressable heat detectors. The hotel rooms have Gentex 8000 series smoke alarms.
Annunciator: Harrington HS-3434LCD annunciator in the front entrance vestibule
Tru (with casino and restaurants on ground level):
This building is also a pretty major building, and is by far the most modern. The first floor has casino floor area, several restaurants, customer service areas, and some shops. The second floor has the hotel lobby and hotel rooms. The third and fourth floor have more hotel rooms. There is an underground parking garage underneath this building.
Panel: Autocall 4010ES or 4100ES
Notification Appliances: Autocall A49AV-APPLW horn/strobes with A49AVC-WRFIRE covers, and A49VO-APPLW remote strobes with A49VOC-WRFIRE covers
Pull Stations: Autocall A4099-9006 dual action addressable pull stations
Detectors: Autocall A4098-9714 addressable smoke detectors. The rooms probably have A4098-9772 sounder bases, but that’s just an educated guess, as I wasn’t able to confirm.
Annunciator: Autocall A4606-9102 or A4603-9101 annunciator (I saw it, but I forgot exactly which one, so I don’t know exactly which panel)

Bonus: Fire alarm fail from this exact location 4 years ago. This is no longer here.

Not really: those Gentex strobes are infamous for having their support clips break off, so that place was just trying to keep it held on (even if that tape likely blocks the strobe a good bit).
Going by that last part & the fact that there’s still at least one Gentex speaker/strobe in place according to that one photo, did they replace it with a newer device or better fix the strobe?

They replaced it with a newer device. This time I only saw 1 Gentex device, but last time I saw more of them.
That makes sense but in that case it’s still a fail, just for a different reason…
Here are some photos I took today around my area:
I will release more in-depth overviews of some of these systems in the future. These pictures are from three separate buildings: one with a Simplex system, one with an Autocall system, and one with a Cerberus Pyrotronics system.
