Make Up a System (2.0)

Someday I want to replace the PEP II panel that my grandparent’s house has with a more modern and functional fire alarm system since we don’t even use the security alarm.

  • Panel: NOTIFIER INSPIRE™ N16e
  • Pulls: just one SPO-270 near the panel which would be in the pantry hall.
  • Detectors: System Sensor i4Series where the previous smoke and heat detectors were at.
  • Signals: Loganetics HS-LF24 in each bedroom, Eaton/Wheelock Eluxa speaker strobes in the hallways and exterior workshop building and probably even the RV garage. The outside will have Genesis LED G4 Speaker strobes near each exterior door on both buildings.

Note: the speakers will be set on 2 watts which is also loud enough to hear the messages even in bedrooms.

Why LF sounded strobes in an elementary school?

Because I can’t think of any other loganetics model numbers rn :sob::skull:

HS-MH24 MH for mechanical horn, even though it’s electronic, tone reference

I gotta find my model number sheet I made a while ago, I had some good numbers in there lol

Medium grocery store
Panel: EST FSP1004 (10-zone FireShield Plus)
Pulls: Edwards 278B-1120
Smokes: System Sensor i3
Signals: Genesis and Integrity horn strobes (Integrities left over from old system)

Signals are set to continuous.

Medium office built in 2000, upgraded in 2022

First System

  • Panel: Notifier AFP-100
  • Pulls: Notifier NBG-12LX (PDI-Style)
  • Smokes: Notifier SDX-551
  • Notification Appliances: System Sensor P2475

Signal coding is set to continuous.

New System

  • Panel: Notifier NFW-100X
  • Pulls: Mostly original, 5 replacements (newer Notifier NBG-12LX)
  • Smokes: Mostly original, 7 replacements (Notifier FSP-951-IV)
  • Notification Appliances: All original
    Signal coding is set to temporal 3, using System Sensor Sync from the panel.
    The panel is running in CLIP mode due to having old smoke detectors. The majority of them worked, so the installers decided to leave them in place.

Woodland View High School (WLVHS)

A fictional HS built in 1954 on the outskirts of a Rust Belt city with matching additions in 1957, 1960, and 1963 (built during the baby boom). Building is in an extended “E” shape or “finger plan.”

Panel: IBM 4200 (4201-4) with master code generator of 4-4 and auxiliary relay cabinet for the Pyrotronics smoke detectors and door holders (added in 1963)–yes, they had fire door magnets as far back as 1962, as I found an ad for Sargent & Greenleaf ones in an architecture magazine from that year; used on this system); IBM FA annunciator in front office.

Initiating devices: IBM 4251-1s with key slots on the top in OG building; additions have the key slots on the front; Simplex versions of the latter in 1960 and '63 additions–all by exit doors and stairways; Pyrotronics F3/F5 smoke detectors in mechanical/electrical and storage rooms/closets, trade classrooms–with exception of the wood shop, on either side of fire doors and at the elevator lobbies–building is two floors; HVAC duct variants on air handlers for the auditorium, gymnasium and other common areas (OG to 1954 building and all other additions); Chemetron 500 heat sensors in kitchen, home economics classrooms and science rooms; no automatic detectors in gymnasium or natatorium (which is in the athletic wing of the building); pull rods with standard light switch actuators.

Signaling devices: IBM/Simplex 4037s in hallways and common areas; 4045 single-stroke chimes in the library and front office; IBM RV-4016-4 trouble bells in electrical room–where the main FACP is located (off main boiler room) and above annunciator in front office–semi-flush version.

Fictional family hotel and water park chain similar to Great Wolf Lodge, as one opens in the UK later this year

Main hotel: FTW Alarms FireAlert Series 4000 with 500 zones which is basically a FireAlert mark 2 with additional features.

Devices: FTW Alarms FireAlert 39978 addressable call points in the main areas of the hotel, FTW Alarms FireAlert 29886 addressable sounder beacons in some areas, 34490 O-H-S addressable optical smoke/heat sensor sounders in most areas of the hotel

The rooms have FTW Alarms FireAlert 34491 addressable optical smoke/heat sensors and FTW Alarms FireAlert 29886 addressable sounder beacons

Large hotel built in 2002

  • Panel: Edwards EST2 w/ Voice
  • Pulls: EST SIGA-278
  • Hall Smokes: EST SIGA-PS
  • Room Smokes: EST SIGA-PS + SIGA-AB4 Sounder Base
  • A/Vs: EST 757-7A-SS70W (White Integrity Speaker Strobe)

tbh it would make more sense having an EST3 for that apllication. EST2’s dont seem like they are capable to do that big of a building. ALso est3’s were made in that period

I forgot to mention that this EST2 has the SLC expander, giving the system 380 points. The hotel isn’t huge, it’s like medium-large. I wasn’t very specific.

Is this an actual brand? cant see anything on google about it. I think this discussion is more about real alarms put in a fictional setting. I think in real life it would be getting apollo.
