My college’s Field House building has an MPC-2000 panel as well. It’s huge! It’s also addressable but has the regular Faraday logo so it’s obviously a discontinued product. It replaces a Simplex 4208 panel that used to be there, and there’s also an RDC-700 annuciator near the front entrance, installed over the old Simplex annuciator. All the NAs are SpaceAge Electronics horn/strobes, and the pulls are Simplex 4251-20 T-bars, held over from the old system. Half of them have Stopper IIs over them. There are some heat detectors, but no smokes.
My school is now mostly going with Faraday alarms because when it was originally built (the first five buildings were started in 1969 and completed in 1972), they used Standard Electric Time Company fire alarms. Now that Faraday bought out Standard, this makes sense. I don’t know why the other five buildings (from 1978) originally went with Simplex systems. Maybe it was because Standard had gone out of business by then, or Faraday did not have any complete systems available in 1978? I know this because usually older Simplex fire alarm systems are replaced with newer Simplex systems, such as the 4100U. There’s a PDF file I found online for a public school system that has all Simplex fire alarms, including older ones, but most of them were replaced with new 4100U systems.
