Make Up a System (2.0)

Pepsi All Seasons Arena- Mandan, ND (Addition opened in the early 2030’s):
This place was opened in the mid-late 90’s as a hockey arena, weight room, and wrestling room. It was renovated in 2018 to replace the hockey arena portion with three basketball/volleyball/indoor soccer/whiffleball courts. They didn’t touch the FA system at that time Here is an overview of of the current system from a previous post of mine:

Original System (In service from the early-mid 90’s-current (the building’s only ever system)):
Panel: Most Likely a Cerberus Pyrotronics SXL

Notification Appliances: All of the original notification appliances were Cerberus Pyrotronics rebranded Faraday 6226-W mechanical horn/strobes. The system was expanded not long after it was originally installed with Siemens U-HN-MCS horn/strobes and U-MCS remote strobes for better coverage in the locker rooms, restrooms, and athletic training room (not 100% sure on the candela ratings). At one point around the same time, a 6226-W in the athletic training room got replaced with an Edwards Integrity horn/strobe (during that same short time period when the school district worked with Edwards). Recently (within the past 1-2 years), a few older devices have been replaced with Siemens ZH-MC-R horn/strobes.

Pull Stations: Cerberus Pyrotronics MS-51 Pull Stations

Detectors: Unknown Cerberus Pyrotronics duct detectors that use heads that look similar to PE-3s and possibly a PE-3 or similar in the panel room

Annunciator: Cerberus Pyrotronics LED-4

What alarm do you have at work/school

In this post, I want to talk about my school district’s old high school. I know that I have talked about it a lot (probably too much lol), but I want to review it because I now know most of the history. I also just wanted to have this in writing to look at, but I thought others might also be interested as it is a very interesting building with an interesting system and an interesting history. A map of the high school: [IMG_3597] First, I will divide the building into sections to make this ea…

This building is directly adjacent to my district’s old high school building. When that building is demolished in the near future, they are planning to build housing and shopping/resturaunts in the area. The All Seasons Arena will not be demolished and is set to likely receive a renovation to the front entrance/lobby area of the building. This would require moving/changing devices, and since the system is already around 30 years old they would likely go for a full system upgrade. I’m guessing that they will stick with Siemens as they are currently the ones servicing the building’s FA system. Here is what I think the new system could look like:

New System (In service from the early 2030’s-2055):
Panel: Cerberus Pyrotronics SXL is replaced with a Siemens Cerberus PRO FV922

Notification Appliances: All old devices are indirectly replaced with Siemens SC-SS-CR-F and SC-SS-WR-F speaker/strobes and SC-ST-CR-F and SC-ST-WR-F remote strobes

Pull Stations: All old pull stations are replaced with Siemens XMS-S addressable pull stations with STI stoppers

Detectors: Old smoke detector in the panel room is replaced with an OP921 and the duct detectors are replaced with FDBZ492 housings with OP921 heads

Annunciator: LED-4 is replaced with a FSD901-U3 Annunciator and a VR2005-U3 remote microphone
