That store has three Simplex TrueAlerts in it, one on the wall by the entrance, one on the wall in the middle of the store and one on the wall at the other end? Why three? Surely one would do.
I’m making this it’s own topic, since it doesn’t relate to the other topics on here.
“Master Bedroom” is a variable in terms of units of measurement-- it can be anything from very small, like 10x10 to huge, like 25x12.
Without a more specific idea at the size, it is hard to judge what you are talking about.
I’m just saying that it is a small store. It is smaller than the size of a typical classroom at a school. Perhaps having a second horn/strobe in the store is useful for spare, in case one of the horn/strobes malfunctions, the other horn/strobe will be going off, but why three?
Since every building, locality, and AHJ is different, it’s impossible to say for sure without knowing all of the variables that went into designing the system. We can probably assume that three horn/strobes were required or else they wouldn’t have put up the extra cost.
It’s possible that a store with multiple partitions previously occupied that space and the system was designed around it, then the current store moved in and opened up the whole area.
Typical classroom –
There’s so many different sizes of classrooms, I’ve seen some from the size of a compact one car garage to the size of a double wide mobile home…
Once again you’re using relative “units of measurement” to try and tell us the size of that store.
Can you estimate how big in feet…?
I have seen 2 class rooms in the size of a moble home.
Sorry I can’t. I can say it is about the same size as the RadioShack store which is also in the mall.
again it could be 10000000000000 feet or it could be 2in so can you kinda give us an idea that should be about the same size every where
That’s still not good, lol – I’ve seen huge RadioShack stores before.
How about this for an estimation?
About how many cars could you park inside the store? I don’t mean stuff like trucks or SUVs.
Only two cars could be park in the store.
This probably all relates to visual coverage of the strobes. It could also relate to the initial plan on how the store was going to be setup, or what audio they planned to blast through the store. Probably the least likely factor considered is “failure” this is why we test systems.
All these things are taken into consideration by the person who installs the devices. You can always have to little, not to many.
Though if the horns are very loud, I’m sure that it would be overkill.
