Spray Lake Sawmills Family Sports Centre in Cochrane has a Notifier system, with mostly System Sensor SpectrAlert Advanced P2R horn/strobes. Some older parts of the building have System Sensor SpectrAlert P1224MC horn/strobes. Outside, by the pool is a System Sensor P2RK Pulls are mostly Notifier NBG-12LX, but there was a Mircom MS-401 and a Notifier MPS-950B by a classic SpectrAlert. I am going back there Thursday for a field trip, so I might find more components
Just checked Google Maps and by far this has got to be the most strobe-happy place I’ve ever seen. Not sure if this has changed because all the devices in the Maps Pictures are SpectrAlert Advance, but what’s the point of putting 2 Advance strobes in a small kiddie classroom?
Evidence here (not a divided classroom)
They actually did that in my elementary school thought it was a regular class. There were two regular Advanced speaker/strobes in an L-shaped classroom and the hallway that connected them had a strobe. Not to mention the cafeteria/gymnasium had 8 speaker/strobes when in the past it had 4 9838s on 4903 strobe plates.
The main panel is a Notifier NFS-3030 and is located near Totem 1. And in the pool change rooms there is System Sensor SpectrAlert Advanced PC2R horn/strobes. In the main pool area are System Sensor P2R and P2RK horn/strobes. I do have to admit that there are a lot of classic SpectrAlerts left over from the original system, and in the turf there is 6. In the hall to the change rooms the pulls are Tyco/Grinnell rebranded Notifier MPS-950B
This is from a different Church of Eleven22 located on Beach Blvd. in Jacksonville, FL. The one with the L-Series opened 3 weeks ago, and is on Commerce Center Dr. All devices at the Beach Blvd. church are Spectralert Advances. I don’t know why there’s 2 strobes in that small classroom. Most other classrooms I saw in only had one strobe.
How is that a small classroom exactly? Looking at it from the pictures, it seems to be an average sized classroom.
I didn’t see the whole classroom so I was saying it looked bigger than it actually is. That is actually the same size as the reading room at my elementary school. It was in the side of the library, so it had a Gentex SHG in it right below the emergency lights there.
First Street Parking Deck (Detroit)
Panel/annunciators: Unknown
Detectors:
Gentex ionization detectors above elevator areas
One System Sensor 24XX-series thermal heat detector in the parking deck’s office
Pull stations:
Older Edwards 270-SPO models, non-ADA
Notification appliances:
The devices consist predominantly of rectangular bullhorn speakers (make/model unknown) along with red beacons (incandescent?, make/model unknown). The beacons are located mostly near the elevator/stairwell corridors while the speakers are scattered throughout the structure.
There is a 6" bell–either a National Time P806 or a System Sensor model–on a wall along the exit lane to First Street.
Cobo Center (Detroit) - This is a location I previously posted on the older forums.
Panel/annunciators: Unknown
Detectors:
Unknown square ionization detectors above elevator areas, possibly Gentex models
System Sensor i3-series models, located throughout the exhibit halls
Unknown photoelectric/heat detectors in the lobby area
Pull stations:
A mixture of Fire-Lite BG-10 and Johnson Controls-branded BG-12 devices
Notification appliances:
A mixture of Wheelock RSS strobes, Wheelock Exceder horn/strobes, one System Sensor SpectrAlert classic horn/strobe, Wheelock E50 speaker/strobes, Wheelock E70 speaker/strobes, and Wheelock E90 speakers and speaker/strobes. All devices vary between red and white colors as well as being wall or ceiling-mounted.
For my birthday, my family and I drove up to Middleton’s on Main. Now I could finally have a good note of the alarms present. They have an unknown system, possibly Spectronics, with two Wheelock 34T-24 horns- one at the front door, and the other upstairs near the bathrooms. Smoke detectors are old System Sensor 2400s, with a few 2251EMs(?) scattered. Pulls are old Edwards 270-SPO, each under both 34Ts.
It might be an old Notifier system, like an AFP-200.
AMA Alberta Motor Association in Crowfoot has either a Simplex 4006 or 4008 system, judging by the 4610-9111 annunciator at the entrance, with Simplex 4906-9127 TrueAlert horn/strobes. Heat detectors are Simplex 4098-9615, and the pulls are all Simplex 4099-9001.
395 Totten Pond Road | Waltham, MA
Panel: Some sort of Fire-Lite system, judging by the LCD-80F annunciator
Pull stations: BG-12LX’s
Detectors: SD-355’s
Signals: SpectrAlert Classic horn/strobes
An apartment building in SW Calgary (Killarney Neighborhood) has a Mircom FA-1000 system, with Mircom FHS-240R horn/strobes. Pulls are all Mircom MS-401.
ROCORI High School/Middle School in Cold Spring, MN has an EST2 system with Edwards Genesis-series horn/strobes and strobes, 278B pull stations, and SIGA detectors, plus a few outdoor Integrities. Nothing super interesting.
I got a peak at the St. Cloud (MN) Wastewater Treatment Facility- Hester Park facility, although all I saw through the window was a Notifier (?) smoke detector and a Wheelock E-70 speaker/strobe. Not totally sure on the system, but I’d assume it’s Notifier.
Boston Logan International Airport - Terminal E - Boston, MA
Panel: Simplex 4100 (judging by the annunciators)
Pull stations: 4099-9003’s in most areas, 4099-9006’s in the expansion.
Detectors: Newer TrueAlarms in most areas, and Bosch beam detectors in areas with high ceilings.
Signals: TrueAlert speaker/strobes (both wall and ceiling-mount)
UPDATE 2
We had a false alarm today and all the signals sounded in the “newer” Temporal 3. This leads me to believe the system is a 4005 or possibly a 4100-Series. Given that the auditorium was renovated 1997-98, a 4005 or 4100 would make sense. Also, the three 4051s I passed on my way out were all quiet(er), which means the volume screws are tightened (thank GOD). As for the 4602 RCU LED annunciator, can the 4100-Series panels support those?
The firmware in the 4602 RCU/SCU annunciators was updated when the 4100 was released in 1988, so are supported by 4100, 4020, 4005, 4007, and 4010ES (not original 4010). They are also backward compatible with the 4002. The oldest 4602 units were released with the 4002. Those old units are not compatible with the 4100, 4020, 4005, 4007, or 4010ES panels.
I discussed some of the compatibility issues in another thread.
I do have to say I think the ideas of 4051s in code-3 would be a bit weird and wouldn’t sound too good. Then again, I only heard them in continuous and that was 12 years ago. My college had them but I think there were in march time.
I personally think 4051s ‘in the field’ sounding in Temporal 3 sounds AWESOME. They share (especially in Temopral 3) the same characteristic that the SpectrAlert Advance has; its tone is so obnoxious that it literally “runs” you out!
