Is this guy aware you are taking photos of him and sharing it on the internet? If so is he ok with it? Anyways what is it being replaced with?
Yes. And it’s being replaced with ASCEND series
I also went around the building opening all the pulls with my newly obtained CAT45.

You’ll be saving it too, right? (in its entirety I hope)

Cool! What tone/message did it play last time you heard it in action? Was it EST Guy?

Pretty cool! Not a bad replacement, but I’m honestly surprised they didn’t just go with an EST4 upgrade. It would have been much cheaper and simpler, and it would have also been a good upgrade . Are they to get all of the campus systems to be Siemens?

The system, yes, I already saved the main panel as you can see, along with some smokes so far, a battery cabinet, and two BPS panels.
I don’t know, I have never heard it go off. I’ll assume it used default tones and messages.

Eventually, yes. That’s what they plan on doing.
Mhm: can’t go wrong with Edwards I say!
Alright, fantastic! Hope you can get the rest as well!
I sure hope they have plenty of ibuprofen handy…(for the inevitable headaches they’ll be having when it comes to getting that system serviced, since they won’t be able to just call out their local service company to do so)

That’s why they’re replacing it with a Siemens FC922 voice evacuation system.
At least I can say I got my Christmas present early. 
In terms of what: they want a ton of headaches? (since that’s what you get with a highly-proprietary system like any of Siemens’ that can’t be serviced by just anyone)
Yeah.

I wonder if they still have any associated CDs, like the LifeLines CD-R.
I’ve always wanted to see what one looks like, but it’s so old that hardly any photos of it exist online.

Yeah I don’t think they have any CDs.

I don’t know much about the LifeLines CDs, I only know that they exist and typically contain sound files and product literature. (manuals)
I was even told about a 2009 GE branded version made during the GE Security era.

I have an EST Lifelines cd. I’ll get a picture and post it.

Really? I’d like to see it!
That’s the era my panel was made in, I think… Interestingly enough, these are made in Canada.

You should definitely try to get a recording to archive it!
