Elementary: Simplex TrueAlerts, Simplex Speaker Strobes (no voice evac), and a Wheelock MT-24MCW outside
Middle: Simplex 4903-9101+2901-9838s, Simplex 4903-9252 (im guessing because i never heard it), and Wheelock MTs (there might’ve been truealerts here but im trying too hard to scrape the back of my mind to find what alarms were there)
High: Simplex 4903-9101+2901-9838s (again), 4904 Remote Strobes, and a few Simplex TrueAlerts
UPDATE: I visited the new elementary school for an event and found out that it actually has an Autocall 4100es voice evac system. I have seen more and more Autocall systems popping up in my area recently. With this new information, I wouldn’t be surprised if the new high school gets an Autocall 4100es as well.
At my hockey they use an interesting system. The panel is a Silent-Knight 5207 (which has been in trouble ever since I noticed 2 weeks ago), with a Fire-Lite “Voice Evac Control” Amplifier. Smoke detectors are systemsensor 2400s, and pull stations are Notifier rebranded BG-10s. (Some in the studio rink use an STI cover), for notification appliances we have SystemSensor MASS speaker-strobes, with spectralert classic and advance strobes (I found a Wheelock RSS strobe in the bathroom too), and in the studio rink they use advance speaker strobes and strobes. (All notification appliances are red)
UPDATE: In the original post I said that they were building a new elementary school and a new high school.
The elementary school has now been finished. I visited it for an event and found out that it has an Autocall 4100ES voice evacuation system with red wall mount and ceiling mount conventional Autocall TrueAlert speaker strobes.
With this new information, I’m excited to see what the new high school has. In the past, my district has used almost all Simplex systems. For this reason, I thought the elementary school would have that. At this point, I have no idea. They could stay with Simplex. They may also go with Autocall. Siemens is by far the most popular company in my area so that is also a possibility. I have no idea. I’ll try to update you in about 8 months when the high school is supposed to open.
My K-12 schools all had Onyx Notifier panels, replacing (likely) older Edwards systems. College had all Siemens systems (mostly MXL panels). Lastly, my workplace uses some addressable Notifier system with NBG-12LXs and Spectralert Advances (not sure what panel, but something larger since the building is decent size).
Newer System: Siemens SL2 speaker strobes, Siemens MS-10Bs, Siemens smoke detectors, Siemens FireFinder, Siemens Code 3, Siemens Male Message.
Older System: Simplex 4100+
Simplex 4903-9101 Strobe Plate
Simplex Bell of some sorts
Simplex 4099-9001 Pull stations,
Simplex Smoke Detector.
very thorough list, that is quite a lot.
Panel: Unknown Simplex Addressable
NA’s: Wheelock EHS-DL1’s (Majority of the system), Both Styles MT’s (1 each), SpectrAlert classic (just 1), Unknown Addressable TrueAlerts, deactivated flush mount Adaptahorn
Pulls: Simplex 4251-20’s and Fire-Lite BG12’s
Smokes: Simplex 2908-9577’s?, System Sensor I3’s, System Sensor 2400’s, TrueAlarms
Yeah, it’s a mess. All of this is on continuous too.
Roughly how many students are in this building. It may be a Simplex 4007ES as it is a very versatile system that can easily have both conventional and addressable notification appliances and initiation devices at the same time.
Around 600. It’s a relatively small school.
EDIT: Was thinking of wrong school. Changed number.
That’s about how many students were in my elementary school. It was a Simplex 4007ES system that replaced a 4002. It had all addressable initiation devices. The NA’s were Simplex 4903-9105 strobe plates with 2901-9838 horns. They also added a portable a few years ago with SmartSync TrueAlert horn strobes.
Does the system have an annunciator? If it does, the 4007ES annunciator looks like this:
No. Don’t remember what the annunciator looks like. I think it’s a 4004 now that I think about it.
My work has a poter panel with a ceiling mount system sensor alarm. It has one pull station, but two agent release pulls for the hoods.
It also has a sprinkler riser
My current high school has an EST 3 voice evac system with Genesis (Xenon) speaker strobes, SIGA-278s, and SIGA-PS smokes.
My workplace doesn’t have a system, not even sprinklers, and the security panel had been removed some time before I started working there. There are a couple sets of door contacts and a DSC keypad, but nothing else.
Bruh, talk to management about that. That’s obviously not safe
You might also be able to talk to the fire Marshall/OSHA inspector about those safety violations that they haven’t been able to add. Depending on how large the building is. It should be required.
It is a fairly small building
All they have is a smoke detector and gas detector mounted low on a board?
There’s another smoke lol. Animal control inspected the place this week and they installed those. No type of monitoring is required because my boss is there 24/7 (it’s a dog daycare, someone’s gotta care for the dogs at night).
