Allow me.
Welcome to the Northern Kentucky Ice Center, located in Crescent Springs, KY within walking distance of my house. As I was first walking towards the door, i didn’t expect this place to have a system at all. Well, it did. The system was in dismay: Smoke detectors hanging off the ceiling (1400’s at that!), spray painted strobes, and much more. You know what, let’s just get some pictures going…
First off we have an Edwards 892 with a spray painted strobe. With it already being non-ADA, I don’t think you would see that very much at all.
Next up we’ve got an Edwards 270-SPO, which isn’t really all that bad other than a bit of paint.
There are two i3’s in the snack bar area.
Now we get to the ice rink smokes. The ceiling is very high up off of the ground, and there are ionization smokes, such as this 1400. You could have a bonfire and that thing probably wouldn’t activate.
I wonder what went here…
And then check this one out. Definitely some below-code FPL there.
Here’s a particularly dirty System Sensor 2100T.
Here’s a smoke that’s in decent condition.
Oh boy. Exposed FPL and that 2400 isn’t even on its base. Can it get any worse than that?
Of course it can. Check out this low hanging 1400.
Everything here checks out other than the corroded backbox.
More exposed FPL and shabby looking detectors.
Here’s a rusty heat detector.
Another low hanger, but not as bad this time.
This SpectrAlert definitley does NOT need that many backboxes.
And that’s it. I don’t even know anymore. I’ll just see what you all say.
