The SEFCU Arena is a 4,538 seat multi-purpose arena located at 1400 Washington Ave, Albany, NY. It is located on the campus of the University at Albany. It is home to the University’s Great Danes basketball teams, and is known for hosting the 2006 America East Conference men’s basketball championships. The arena was constructed in 1992 as the Recreation and Convocation Center, and adopted its current name in 2006. The fire alarm system is original.
System Specifications (1992-present)[edit | edit source]
FACP[edit | edit source]
The arena is protected by the original Simplex 4100 conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located in an electrical or mechanical room, but was confirmed by the annunciators. The system has zone cards in it to make it conventional, as the LEDs are labeled by zone. The system is equipped with voice-evac, but it is unknown what tones it plays. It does however, play the default message.
Annunciators[edit | edit source]
There are two custom-made annunciators located at both emergency exits. They are composed of a Simplex 2975-9190 2-unit cabinet, and 4100-0402 16 red/yellow LED modules, plus a 4100-0405 8 red/yellow LED modules with switches.
