System Specifications[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located after the entrance, and is a two-bay cabinet. It was installed in 2010 following a renovation. The system coding is temporal.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

The notification appliances are mostly System Sensor SSM24-10A motor bells (10" gong) on Amseco RSB24-153075 strobe plates (rebranded by Mircom, 15cd).

There are also Amseco MSB-10-PV4 motor bells (10" gong) on Amseco RSB24-153075 strobe plates (rebranded by Mircom, 15cd). The strobe plates were installed in 2012 onto the existing bells.

In the lobby, there is one General Signal MB10-24 motor bell (10" gong) as a deficiency replacement.

The fitness room has an original Mirtone 74306 vibrating bells (10" gong), while the third floor has a newer variant.

Most guest rooms have Mircom MH-S25WA (white, silenceable) mini horns, although some rooms have Mircom “Select-a-Horn/Strobe” FHS-240W horn/strobes (white, wall-mount, 30cd)

In room 111, there are two Mircom “Select-a-Strobe” FS-240W (white, 30cd) remote strobes.

The guest room devices were installed in 2012.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

Most pull stations are Mirtone 73201 conventional dual-action pull stations.

There are Mircom MS-401 conventional single-action pull stations in some areas as deficiency replacements.

There is one original Edwards 270-SPO (shield logo, FIRE ALARM) conventional single-action pull station at one entrance in the lobby, that is likely new old stock.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are Mircom 2151A photoelectric smoke detectors throughout, mounted on System Sensor B210LPA bases.

List of known activations[edit | edit source]

July 2006 - alarm at 11pm. Guests confused, and later confirmed to be false.

May 4, 2012 - alarm at 4:34am. Accidental activation by night cleaners working in kitchen, could either be a smoke detector or a pull station. Guests rushed to lobby and many tried to evacuate. Alarm was found to be false.
