Panel
- Current System: Notifier NFS2-3030 with DVC
- Original System: Simplex 4208
Initiating Devices
- Current System: All pulls are Notifier NBG-12LXs behind Stopper II Covers. The main smoke detectors are Notifier FSP851s, installed in the hallways above the fire doors, and at each elevator lobby. Each apartment has Notifier FCO-851(A) combination smoke/co detectors with sounder bases. There are also a number of Notifier FST-851 heat detectors as well, along with APC Duct Detectors monitored with monitoring modules.
- Original System: There were Simplex 4521-20 pulls, along with a few Edwards 270 pulls in the corridors, along with a mix of Pyrotector, System Sensor, and Simplex smokes, with apartments having Smoke Sentinel smoke detectors.
Notification Appliances
- Current System: Signals used here are Wheelock E70 speaker/strobes. These can be found in the hallways, elevator lobbies, and in the main lobby, plus the events room. The stairwells have Wheelock ET 1010 R speakers. ADA Apartments, and public restrooms have Wheelock STR strobes.
- Original System: The hallways had Simplex 4051 horns, with these on 4050-82 light plates in the elevator lobbies and main lobby. Some 4051s were replaced with Wheelock 34Ts, and there is a TrueAlert horn/strobe in the main lobby. One hallway has a Gentex SHG horn/strobe in a hallway replacing a 4051. There were also two System Sensor HR horns as well.

The Walker High School was originally built in 1917, but did not have any system installed until the mid-60s when a fire broke out in a chemistry room. the system consisted of simplex 4030s and 4040s with projectors, and simplex u-bars with the horns hooked to up to the building’s AC supply.
in 1975, 4050-80s (mounted with the lamp vertical) and a 2001 were introduced, with relays to power the horns.
An auditorium was added on in 1982, sporting simplex 2902-9739s, -9732s, 2904-9101s , and a new voice evac card for the 2001.
A few months later, the main building’s system was fully overhauled, but the school held onto the old devices. the new devices were assorted DC horns with either 2904-9002 or SAE V33 lamps next to them.
In 1992, a helium tank exploded, causing part of the school and the girl’s bathroom in the auditorium to be destroyed. it was rebuilt, with MA horns (honeywell briefly acquired the system) next to 4904-9001s in the main building, and an ET-1010-WS-24 replacing the speaker strobe.
In late 1995, the whole system was overhauled with a new 4004 panel, two-stage t-bars, and 4903 ADA horn and speaker strobes replacing all of the devices.
Over time, most devices crapped out and were replaced with their truealert and trualert ES counterparts, and a 4100ES replacing the 4004.
In 2021, Honeywell got the system again, and replaced all of the devices with Eluxa speaker strobes, and BG-12LXs. Information about the panel was censored from the public.
Medway baptist church was built in 1983 and features a gamewell Zan’s 400 system with
Gamewell 66849 horns on trim plates ( the gamewell 66848 is a re-branded federal signal vibratone)
Gamewell m46-23 “ century “ pulls
And gamewell r7’s and d9’s on z77 conventional bases
Later on in 1993 red gentex gxs strobes were installed next to the gamewell horns
The sandshell hotel was built in 1993 and features a notifier am-2020 with voice evac. The hotel is 14 floors tall. The pull stations are notifier bgx-101L’s the smoke detectors are notifier Sdx-551’s ( some have been replaced by fsp-851s )
The NA’s are system sensor v400R’s mounted on system sensor RP2415ADA strobe plates. In each room there’s an Sdx-551 mounted on a system sensor b501bh sounder base. Next to the sounder base is a system sensor v400r remote speaker mounted on a trim plate. The stairwells feature a bgx-101l pull and a firefighters phone jack. In 2005 a big hurricane flooded the main lobby and first floor of the hotel, luckily the panel was upstairs. But all of the alarms and detectors on the first floor were severely water damaged so they had to be replaced.
The Sdx-551 were replaced with fsp-851’s, the bgx-101L were replaced by bg-12lx’s, the smokes in the first floor rooms were replaced by fsp-851’s too, the the first floor NA’s were replaced by system sensor sp2r1224mc’s and the remote speakers in the rooms were replaced by system sensor Sp201r’s
Here’s a long one but this one is a fictional company
Part 1
FlexTech was founded in 1964 as Saturn Alarm. Saturn alarm made only one panel in the beginning SAS-1, later in 1968, the company replaced the SAS-1 with the new SAS-S. As well having the Saturn alarm SAS-AC-M, and the SAS-L as additions to the SAS series for larger buildings. In 1971, the Saturn Alarm introduced new DC series of panels, DCS-S (4 zone system), DCS-M (16 Zones), and the DCS-L (32 zones). The DCS system had a market share. The SAS series and DCS series we produced along with each other. Until 1975. A massive reorganization happened in Saturn alarm. The named was changed to “FlexTech Fire Alarm Systems INC” from “Saturn Alarm Co”. The SAS series was discontinued in 1975 for investment into there DC systems. The DCS series continued until 1980. A new panel was introduced, it was called the FMC series. The FMC worked very similarly to the Simplex 2001 where it was was card based. It had different sizes. It can go from 1 bay to six bays. The DCS-S was replaced by the FMC-1. The DCS-M was replaced by the FMC-3 and the DCS-L was replaced by the FMC-5. FlexTech decided to go into the large scale market. They introduced the MCS-650. This had its own CPU card with 8 Seven Segment displays. The MCS-650 had 50 zones with it being expandable to 200 zones. The MCS-650 also came in a voice variant called the MCSV-650 which had a voice bay with a tone generator and a message generator. The MCSV-650 was more popular then it’s non voice counterpart and was installed in serval high rises, hospitals and more. In 1987, the FMC series got updated to the FMX series. The new FMX series had its own CPU similar to the MCS series but it lacks a 7 segment display. The FMX series had updated cards but was still backwards compatible with the FMC. A retrofit kit was made to transition FMC to FMX systems. The FMX was decently popular. In 1992, FlexTech released its first Addressable system called the MP-Series. The MP series introduced the panel design that is still being used on there newest panel. The MP series started off with the MP-100A. A single loop addressable panel that can be able to handle 100 points. The panel also featured a 4x20 LCD making it the company’s first panel with a LCD. The protocol used was called the Omega Protocol. The Omega Protocol is a digital protocol that chip burning is required to set an address on. In 1993, FlexTech introduced the MP-1000A, a high end addressable panel that was originally going to replace the MCS-650. The panel had a option for integrated voice with a tone and message generator. But Due to complaints from distributors about the Omega Series of devices, the MCS-650 continued production through the MP-1000A’s life. Also in 1993 a new series of conventional panels were introduced under the MP series. The MP-2Z is a 2 zone conventional panel that is meant for portables, gas stations, rest stops, and other small scale buildings. The MP-4Z is a 4 zone panel that is for convince stores, small buildings, small businesses, and small apartment buildings. The MP-8Z is a 8 zone panel, it has 2 7-Segment displays. The FMX series was still in production with the FMX-1 configuration being discontinued. In 1995, due to the amount of complaints with the Omega series of devices and how hard they can use. FlexTech released a updated MP series of addressable panel called the MSP series. The MSP series got a updated keypad with new membrane buttons instead of the physical buttons. The MSP series offers a new protocol that uses System Sensor’s protocol. The old Omega protocol was put in with the panel. The Omega device lasted until 2000 and then after that they were discontinued. A retrofit kit from the MP series to the new MSP series was made. A door and and new board came with it being easy to swap out. The MSP-1000 was the high end panel and it replaced both the MCS-650 and MP-1000A. Both got retrofit kits to the MSP-1000. The MSP-1000 has the ability to run conventional cards, mainly for MCS-650 retrofits. The MSP series was very well received and was popular. The new protocol was well received. There are a few MSP systems that were installed with Omega devices but that was rare to find. The MCS-650 and the Addressable MP series had been discontinued that year with the Omega Devices continuing production. A year later, a refresh to the conventional panel line was released called the M2P series. The M2P series had updated keypad identical to the MSP series. The M2P-2Z, M2P-4Z, M2P-8Z were LEDs but the M2P-16Z and M2P-32Z had 4x20 LCDs. These panels ended up becoming popular mainly the 16Z and 32Z models. 2003 rolls around, the MSP series while being successful, it needed a upgrade. The MXP series was released that year. The MXP series introduced a new protocol called AlphaFlash. The AlphaFlash protocol was a entirely custom protocol made by FlexTech that is comparable to FlashScan. This protocol used Sensor Devices but the boards on the devices were different. It went up to 159 Detectors and 159 Modules per loop. The MXP-Series had built in synchronization. The synchronization options were: System Sensor, Wheelock, Gentex, Faraday, and Amesco. The panels was faster than the MSP series. The Cabinets colors were swapped to red from the beige that was used on the MP,M2P and MSP series. Baige cabinets were an option for retrofits. The MXP’s panels were, the MXP-100 which is a single loop panel, MXP-200 which is a dual loop panel. The MSP-100 was discontinued that same year. A year later, the MXP-500 and MXP-1000 were released with entirely new keypad and new voice equipment that was digital. The panels are completely software programmed unlike the MP-1000A and MSP-1000 which can be programmed through the front panel with the latter being able to be programmed with software. The M3P series was also introduced with synchronization and a revamped line up. The M3P-2Z was kept the same now having sync options with System Sensor and Wheelock. The M3P-5Z replaced the M2P-4Z. The 5Z features a LCD and has a keypad identical to the MSP and MXP line The M3P-10Z replaced the M2P-8Z. The M3P-10E is a expandable panel with a larger cabinet similar in size to the M2P-16Z and 32Z. This panel has 10 zone default and is expandable to 50 zones. The M3P-10E is Notable for being the only conventional panel in FlexTech’s lineup to be able to be Networked that if it’s on AlphaNet (which works on all addressable FlexTech panels except the addressable MP series and any 50 point panels.). The rest of the MSP series and the M2P series was shortly discontinued. In 2006 FlexTech announced that production of any Omega Devices will phased out. This would cause many addressable MP series of panels to start disappearing and being replaced with MXP series panels. The MSP customers started to switch to clip. In 2007, a panel was introduced into the MXP line up, The MXP-50. The MXP-50 was a 50 point addressable panel to compete with the 5700 and MS-9050UD. The MXP-50 ran the AlphaFlash protocol which made it stand out from the 9050UD which only had CLIP. The MXP-50 couldn’t be networked requiring people to get a MXP-100 to network. In 2007, the MXP-100V and MXP-200V were introduced. Both had a larger cabinet, built in voice and the messages can be programmed though the front panel. In 2008, the MXP series got updated once again with new touchscreen displays. The MXP-100T,MXP-100VT, MXP-200T and the MXP-200VT were new panels with new touch screen displays. These can also be programmed through the front panel as well. The MXP-500T and MXP-1000T were also introduced but was more proprietary. The MXP series was very popular and was successful. In 2013, another massive update came to the MXP platform. It was called the MXPS series. The MXPS series introduced Advanced programming which was programming that code can be written to create custom features like partitioning on the smaller panels, changing banners, custom coding and etc. The MXPS touchscreen panels offer a map of a building which made them more useful and as well easier to use due to the improved touchscreen. The MXPS series was very fast. The MXPS-50 to MXPS-200 resetting almost in an instant. The MXPS was a facelift and was proven successful. FlexTech in 2019 was bought by Tillam. Which Tillam was rebranding another company’s product called Masster Alarms. Tillam is a corporation that was founded in 1992 and became a large company. Mainly in building controls. In 2021, Tillam bought Masster Company that included Masster Alarms and Masster Emergency Lighting. The decision was to merge FlexTech and the Fire Alarm portion of Masster Alarms into a revamped FlexTech. In 2022, the merger began with the introduction to the XM series. The XM series combined features from the MXPS series and the MFA series (Masster Alarm’s last addressable panels before they were merged). The New XM series ran a total of five different protocols. AlphaFlash (which was the default), MassReader (Basically a FlashScan), CLIP (for older MSP FlexTech systems), Hotchiki (for the old Masster Alarm Systems) and Apollo (also for the old Masster Alarms systems). Due to the amount of protocols and backwards compatibility, the XM series is basically backwards compatible with equipment from the 1990s. The Omega protocol was removed due to no support and FlexTech suggesting that all FlexTech systems that run Omega devices should be upgraded to newer technology. The XM Series is also came with a new voice system. Being updated to support 32 messages from the 8 messages was massive. Networking was introduced to network old Masster Alarm panel, old Flex Tech Panels and the new XM series. The XM series got a new keypad, scrapping the membrane and it’s now similar to what FireLite has on there panels. In 2023 the M3P after 19 years of not being updated got a redesign. The M3P-2Z was entirely discontinued and now the lowest end panel is the XC-5Z. The XC-5Z, XC-10Z, and the XC-10E were all updated with new keypads. The XC-10E was able to bee configured to have a larger cabinet and to have 100 zones.

Rarity:
Common
Introduced:
2022
Reception:
Positive: these are being used more as FlexTech gained popularity in the late 2010s and early 20s due to the dissatisfaction of Honeywell’s quality control. The XM series is used in retrofits but mainly in new installs
Discontinued addressable panels
MP-Series
Addressable panel that utilized the Omega Series of devices. There was only 2 panel available. The MP-100A and MP-1000A. Both are becoming increasingly rare as the the Omega Series of devices were discontinued and with refurbished parts going up the roof. These panels can be networked via OmegaNet
These panels can be programmed though the front panel and can be programmed through DOS. DOS wasn’t used as much so many systems were front panel programmed.

Discontinued: 1995
Rarity:
MP-100A: Very Rare
MP-1000A: Extremely Rare (Less then 1000 are still in service)
Reception:
Due to the chip burning addressing, these panels flopped. Less than 10000 units were sold of the MP-100A and less then 5000 units were old of the MP-1000A. Most MP Series of panels were retrofitted into MSP,MXP and MXPS panels.
MSP series:
The MSP was introduced in 1995 as a response to the criticism of the MP series. The MSP series used System Sensor Devices and used CLIP. Programming methods was the same as the MP series but now it can be programmed with software. The software was called MSP Programer and it ran on Windows NT 3.1 but it later ran on Windows 95, NT 4.0, 98, 2000 and XP. MSP Programer first version was MSP Programer 1.0 and it stoped At version 2.83. MSP Programer was updated the final time in 2015 with Version 3.0 which removed the software key.
The MSP-1000 ran conventional cards which was meant to retrofit older MCS-650 systems

This panel was far better received than its predecessor. The System Sensor devices made it was to install devices.
This panel is now old and it’s starting to get less and less common as retrofits take place.
Panel was commonly installed.
MXP Series:
The MXP series was introduced in 2003. The MXP series introduced some new panels into the mix. The MXP-200 and MXP-500 and later the MXP-50. The MXP series introduced a new protocol called AlphaFlash. These new panels came with built in synchronization for System Sensor, Wheelock, Gentex, Faraday, and Amesco. CLIP and Omega were on the panel.
The software which was used is called AlphaWorks. AlphaWorks had a different naming scheme going by year. The first version of AlphaWorks was AlphaWorks 03 and the final version was called AlphaWorks 23.
The Touchscreen panels were introduced in 2008 and the V models were introduced in 2007

Reception:
The MXP panels were very well received and basically was an improvement over the MSP series. The Voice panels were also well received but the Touchscreen panels had issue when those came out but bugs been fixed, unfortunately the screen wasn’t real fancy, only displaying in gray scale and the touchscreen not having many advantages.
MXPS Series:
Introduced in 2013 as a revision to the MXP-Series. The MXPS had a new feature called Advanced Programming which is basically how programming the 4100 series works and you can make custom features and logic equations were also added. The MXPS touch screen panels were also improved on now featuring color and an updated GUI.
These panels were able to be programmed though the front panel (with the exception of MXPS-500 and MXPS-1000 panels) and can be programmed with AlphaWorks 13 and later.
The MXPS ran 3 different protocols, AlphaFlash, CLIP and Omega. This was the last addressable panels to offer the Omega Protocol.

Rarity: Extremely Common
Reception:
The MXPS series was very well received and fixed all the problems of the Touchscreen panels and expanded on it. These panels started to get more common in 2020 when people were displeased with Honeywell’s quality control. Due to how FlexTech devices are System Sensor devices, swap outs were easy to do. The MXPS is the most successful panel FlexTech put out with the MXP and MSP series trailing behind.
Conventional panels:
XC Series:
The XC series was introduced in 2023 replacing the 19 year old M3P series. The XC series features an updated keypad that is also found in the XM series. There are 3 panels: the XC-5Z, XC-10Z and XC-10E. The XC-10E come comes in a larger cabinet similar to the XM-200 series and can be expanded up to 50 zones. The XC series utilized the FAN series of annunciators. Also compatible with older MasterAlarm MA series Annunciators. These panels are programmed with AlphaWorks 23 or later.

Reputation:
These panels were installed, mainly by installer who were replacing conventional panels that had more then 10 zones and it was often used to replace 5208s as well since those are discontinued.
Discontinued Conventional panels:
SAS-1:
The SAS-1 panel is FlexTech’s first panel when they originally founded in 1964 as Saturn Alarm Co. The first few SAS-1s was made in the founders house before he moved the company into an office building which also had a warehouse. Then from there the SAS-1s were built in the Saturn Alarm HQ back in Gater Lake. The SAS-1 was a AC panel with 20 Horn outputs and 20 zones. Saturn Alarm Co discontinued the SAS-1 in 1968 in favor of the SAS-which replaced it. This panel was really only installed in the city of Gater Lake and only 80 were ever installed. Making this the rarest FlexTech panel out there.
Status:
Introduced: 1964
Discontinued: 1968
Rarity:
Extremely Rare and limited
There are only 8 remaining SAS-1s installed in real buildings left. One of them is at the FlexTech HQ that is fully functional. Located in the visitors section of the office. It was also the first 20 manufactured ones that was made in the founder’s house. The first one was installed in the founder’s house and is still there but it’s unknown if it’s still operational.
Reception:
There isn’t much to say about these panels but other than that they’re very rare and not commonly seen. Even in the collector’s field there is only about 10 that were saved from real buildings. One of them also being the first 20 produced.
SAS-S,SAS-M and SAS-L:
The 2nd Gen SAS series was introduced by Saturn Alarm Co in 1968 to expand and replace the SAS-1. The three panels are the SAS-S, SAS-M, and SAS-L. The SAS-M hooded the same amount of horns and zones as the SAS-1. The SAS-S only could hold on to 5 zones and 10 horns. The SAS-L can hold up to 30 Horns and 30 zones. These were the last AC panels that Saturn Alarm Co produced due to the restructuring in the company and all the investment going into the DCS systems.
Status:
Introduced: 1968
Discontinued: 1975
Rarity: Extremely Rare
Reception: the SAS-L got into larger buildings and there are SAS panels that were installed outside Gater Lake. FlexTech made Candel Systems their first distributor that installed their equipment in the city of Norton.
DCS:
The DSC series was similar design to the SAS series of panels but it was DC instead of AC. Saturn alarm was really pushing this new DC technology. The DCS was released in 1971. The same suffix as the SAS still applies.
The DCS series was replaced by the FMC series of panels
Status:
Introduced: 1971
Discontinued: 1980
Rarity: Extremely Rare
Reception: Good
The DCS series had a fair reputation and was received well by techs when FlexTech did installs in house. Due to it being outdated, it’s often upgraded so you wouldn’t see these panels too much
Fun Fact: This is the only panel that was branded both FlexTech and Saturn Alarm.
FMC Series:
The FMC (which stood for Flexible Master Control)
is a card based panel similar to the Simplex 2001. The FMC series could be configured any way and be expandable depending how big your cabinet is. The FMC had a lot of different cards. Most common ones were zone cards, NAC cards, relay cards and etc. The FMC series was planning to get voice but that was saved later for the FMX series. The DSC series was a one sized fit all solution it was their main panel. The FMC series was eventually replaced by the FMX series in ‘87.
Status:
Rarity: Very Rare
Introduced: 1980
Discontinued: 1981
Replaced By: FMX series
MCS-650:
The MCS-650 (which stood for MegaPlex Control System) was FlexTech’s first high end panel. The MCS series was used for High rise buildings or any buildings that was too large for a FMC panel (and later the FMX series). The MCS series was originally programmed by chip burning. But in 1987, the MCS got a Rev B version that programming could be done via a MS-DOS program Called MegaPlex Programming, the MCS-650 was originally going to be discontinued in 1993 to be replaced with the MP-1000A but plans fell apart due to how poorly received the Addressable MP Series was. The MCS-650 was discontinued in 1996 after the release of the MSP-1000 ending its 16 year run on the market. The MCS-650 was installed in high rise buildings but they’re becoming less and less common as time goes on. The MCS-650 got many retrofit kits. MCS to MSP, MCS to MXP, MCS to MXPS, and the latest one MCS to XM. FlexTech makes conventional cards for there high end panels after the discontinuation of the MCS-650.
Status:
Rarity: Extremely Rare (less then 500 units still installed)
Introduced: 1980
Rev B: 1987
Discontinued: 1996
Reception: It was fairly received. It was used in several towers though out the country. It was a cheaper alternative to the 2120 and other high end systems.
FMX:
The FMX is an updated FMC panel now using an interface that has resemblance to the FlexTech MCS-650 that includes 7 segment displays. The FMX was also still a card based system now show on the new display stuff like missing batteries or open circuits. This was mainly read only so it will tell you what card slot is in alarm. The zones were entirely based on the zone card location. If they’re a zone card on slot 13, it will be zone 13. This was very odd how it worked but it worked. The FMX series ended up getting discontinued in 1994 for the Conventional MP series.
Conventional MP series:
The conventional MP series was released in 1993. Instead of being card based, zones were built in. No cards were made for any of these panels at all. The smallest panel is the MP-2Z which is a 2 zone panel with a single NAC. The MP-4Z is a 4 zone panel with 4 NACs. The MP-16Z is a 16 zone panel with 4 NACs and the MP-32Z is a 32 zone with 8 NACs. The 16Z and 32Z have 4 7 segment displays while the 2Z,4Z, and 8Z used LEDs. These panels were discontinued in 1996 for the updated M2P series.
| Panel | Replacement |
|---|---|
| MP-2Z | M2P-2Z |
| MP-4Z | M2P-4Z |
| MP-8Z | M2P-8Z |
| MP-16Z | M2P-16Z |
| MP-32Z | M2P-32Z |
Status:
Rarity: Pretty Rare
Introduced: 1993
Discontinued: 1996
Reception: It was more well received than the MP addressable panels but due to FlexTech Losing customers losing customers, it didn’t sell as well as the FMX series but these are pretty reliable. There are buildings still installed with them.
M2P Series:
The M2P series was introduced in 1996 replacing the Conventional MP series. The M2P cam in 5 different panels. The -2Z,-4Z,-8Z,-16Z and -32Z. The M2P-2Z and M2P-4Z received minor updates from the FlexTech MP series. The only notable change is that there’s now a coding option and the battery connector was changed. The M2P-8Z is now a 7 segment based panel similar to the Simplex 4004 and FireLite MS-5024. The M2P-16Z and M2P-32Z had massive overhauls. Now the panels have a 4x20 LCD. This made them easier to program and LCD Annunciators were now compatible with conventional panels. The M2P got discontinued in 2003 when the M3P series was introduced.
| Panels | Replacement |
|---|---|
| M2P-2Z | M3P-2Z |
| M2P-4Z | M3P-5Z |
| M2P-8Z | M3P-10Z |
| M2P-16Z | M3P-10E |
| M2P-32Z | M3P-10E |
Status:
Rarity: Uncommon
Introduced:1996
Discontinued:2003
Reception: The M2P series was well received and fixed any issues with the Conventional MP series.

It took a while. It took the max character limit.
Wow that’s crazy!!!
Part 2
Discontinued conventional panels
M3P Series:
The M3P series was introduced in 2003 replacing the M2P series. There are 4 different models of the M3P Series. The M3P-2Z,M3P-5Z,M3P-10Z and the M3P-10E. These panels came with synchronization built in and there’s a entirely new line up. The M3P-2Z received Sync for System Sensor and Wheelock as well as a code 3 option but the M3P-2Z is still similar to the M2P-2Z and the MP-2Z. The M3P-5Z is a LCD based panel that has 2 NACs and 5 Zones replacing the M2P-4Z. The M3P-10Z is 10 zones and 4 NACs and the M3P-10E is a expandable panel that can go up to 40 Zones and 8 NACs. The M3P-10E is also able to be networked. The new M3P series shares the design from the MXP series. The M3P after 19 years on the market got discontinued in 2023 for the XC Series.
| Panel | Replacement |
|---|---|
| M3P-2Z | XC-5Z |
| M3P-5Z | XC-5Z |
| M3P-10Z | XC-10Z |
| M3P-10E | XC-10E |
Status:
Rarity: Common
Introduced: 2004
Discontinued: 2023
Reception: Well received. The 10E is often told that it is a way more advanced 5208 and it was used in panel replacements for old FC-72s, System 3s, 4002s,4005s and etc.
Notification appliances
FlexTech doesn’t produce their own NAs at all. They often uses System Sensor, Wheelock and Gentex. They used to rebrand Faraday, Gentex, Federal Signal, Wheelock and SpaceAge devices until 2001. At that point they have decided to not rebrand AVs anymore.
System Sensor: Used extremely commonly on FlexTech systems. Spectralert Classics, Advances and L-Series are found commonly on FlexTech systems. You would find the MXP systems commonly having Spectralert Classics and Advances while the MXPS would find Advances and L-Series commonly. Most of the promo images of FlexTech has system sensor devices on them.
Wheelock: Wheelock was often used back in the 1990s and early 2000s. When FlexTech decided to start having ESDs, the distributors used Wheelock devices. Some distributors used FlexTech branded NAs but that eventually stopped in 2001. Wheelock is often used when the designer of the system or building owner requests LED devices then LED Exceders and now Eluxas would be installed. There are a few newer FlexTech systems out there with Wheelock devices but not as common as System Sensor. even pre-ESD, Wheelock was sometimes used. The most common Wheelock AVs used on FlexTech systems are ASs,NSs,RSSs,E70s,E90s, E50s and E60s.
Gentex: Gentex was used in the late 1990s when FlexTech started the ESD program in 1994. Gentex was installed mostly late 90s, early 2000s. Gentex is sometimes preferred for Mass Notification systems that has horn strobes due to the Commander 3 being muti tone. The most common devices you would see on a FlexTech system would be Commander 2s,3s, and 4s
Amseco: Very rarely found on any FlexTech system. Amseco was rarely ever used on these systems.
Faraday: Like Amseco, very rare.
Discontinued NAs:

FlexTech due to poor sales of there AVs, FlexTech announced that they’re no longer going to have FlexTech branded AVs anymore. The replacement was recommended to be System Sensor Spectralert Classics.
Addressable Protocols:
FlexTech currently has 5 different addressable protocols and one discontinued protocol.
AlphaFlash: AlphaFlash was first introduced in 2003 with the release of the MXP Series. It’s a custom protocol that utilizes rotary dials. This protocol is similar to FlashScan but acts differently. The devices would poll green but once an alarm happens it starts polling fast and turns to red. Similar to Silent Knight SD. The AlphaFlash devices are backwards compatible with CLIP devices and the newer revision of AlphaFlash Devices will also be backwards compatible with MassRead protocol on MassterAlarms panels and XM panels running the MassRead protocol.
Running these devices on a Non FlexTech panel will give them an invalid replay.
CLIP: CLIP is very similar to Notifier CLIP. Nothing much to say.
MassRead: MassRead is a protocol used on older MassterAlarms MFA series of panels and XM panels. The protocol is a rebranded SK protocol.
Hotchiki: Hotchiki is an another leftover protocol from the MassterAlarms panels. Hotchiki is very popular with MassterAlarm panels back then. Even the former MassterAlarm Dealers kept using Hotchiki afterwards.
Apollo: somewhat used but not as common as the other protocols. This is a left over from MassterAlarms.
Omega: Omega is the only protocol that is officially discontinued. The XM series doesn’t have it and the devices for the Omega protocol was discontinued in 2006 advising everyone to upgrade to AlphaFlash. The last panels to have it was the MXPS series. The XM panels don’t have them. The way the protocol was used where you have to burn chips to address was inconvenient and expensive.
Conventional Pull Stations:
Still in production:
FT-BG-12 Series:
Introduced in 1999 to replace the FT-PL-10 series. The FT-BG-12 series is basically a rebrand of the BG-12 series. The conventional ones are the same as the other BG-12s but it takes a FT-7568 key which is standard on all FlexTech panels since 1975. Here’s the line up

Voice Evac panels:
FlexTech only offers 2 voice evac panels, The MiniVoice 3 and the MiniMass 2
MiniVoice 3:
The MiniVoice 3 was introduced in 2015 replacing the MiniVoice 2. This has a Fire message, testing message and an all clear message. The tones that the mini voice 3 has are code 3 520HZ, Code 3 Tone, Code 3 whoop, code 3 chime, code 3 bell, fast whoop, slow whoop, siren, bell, hi-lo, chime, continuous tone, continuous 520HZ and custom (which a tone can be put in). The MiniVoice 3, it’s basically Evax but it made by FlexTech.
MiniMass 2:
The MiniMass 2 was introduced in 2017. What makes the MiniMass2 different from the MiniVoice 3 is that the MiniMass 2 has options for more tones and messages. Basically it was a MXPS Voice Bay in a panel.
Discontinued:
MiniVoice: Introduced in 1994, it was an old voice panel that could only do a single tone and message with a testing message and an all clear. Basically FlexTech’s answer to the 4003.
MiniVoice 2: Introduced in 2004, basically the same panel with new tones and now the NACs on the panel. Discontinued in 2015
MiniMass: The MiniMass was a voice evac panel that had more messages than the MiniVoice 2. Introduced in 2003. Discontinued in 2017.
Power supplies:
FlexTech offers the PowerFlex 3 as their current power supply. It has System Sensor sync, Wheelock sync, Gentex sync, Faraday Sync and Amesco sync. Introduced in 2005 to replace the PowerFlex 2.
Discontinued:
PowerFlex II: introduced in 2000 as a minor revision to the PowerFlex I, it offers synchronization unlike the PowerFlex 1. it was short lived only spanning 5 years of production. Discontinued in 2005
PowerFlex: introduced in 1989 to help to add notification appliances to existing systems. The PowerFlex 1 got discontinued in 2000 for the PowerFlex II.
Networking:
FlexTech introduced networking in 1995 with the release of the MSP series. The first Gen was called OmegaNet. OmegaNet can be used on the Addressable MP,MCS-650, and MSP series of panels. It was replaced by AlphaNet with the release of the MXP series. It was compatible with MCS-650,Addressable MP, MSP, M3P-10E and MXP panels. AlphaNet Plus was released after the MXPS came. Same compatibility this time with the addition of the MXPS series. XNet was released but it was only compatible with MXP, M3P-10E, MXPS, XM and XC-10E and the MFA series. This was much faster and it had a higher node limit. XNet Legacy was compatible with everything with AlphaNet Plus, the AM series, MFA series, the XM series and the XC-10E. This was slower than the regular XNet and had a lower node limit.

- Current System: Simplex 4100ES, replacing a Simplex 4120
- Original System: Couch FACP
Initiating Devices
- Current System: Pulls are mostly 4099-9003s, behind STI-4130 covers. These can be found at each end of the corridors, at each elevator lobby, and at the reception area. The corridors have a mix of older and newer 4098 series smoke detectors. Each apartment has hardwired Gentex Smoke Detectors that are tied into the main panel via monitoring modules. If the panel goes into alarm, relay modules are used to activate the audible smoke detectors. The stairwells also have 4098 series heat detectors, as does the boiler room. The same Simplex smokes are also used for elevator recall.
- Original System: There were a mix of Couch F1-Gs and Edwards 270 pulls, along with Couch heat detectors, and Pyrotronics smokes.
Notification Appliances
- Current System: The main signals here are 4904-9178 strobes on the walls, with 4902-9703 speakers on the ceilings. These are found in the corridors, administration offices, and public restrooms on the ground floor. ADA apartments have 4904-9175 strobes wall-mounted, adjacent to the smoke alarms and are also used when the unit smokes activate. The main lobby, elevator lobbies, community rooms, and gym have 4903-9150 speaker/strobes. Some of these were replaced with TrueAlert speaker/strobes. There are a couple of TrueAlert remote strobes replacing broken 4904s.
- Original System: There were Federal Signal 350 and Wheelock 31T horns in the corridors.
