'''Mechanicville Jr./Sr. High School''' is a middle and high school located in Mechanicville, New York. It is unknown when the school was first built, but it was expanded in 1992, then expanded again in 2003. The fire alarm system is not original, however the previous fire alarm system was networked.

== System Specifications ==

==== FACP ====

The fire alarm panel is an EST3 with voice-evac. It was installed in 2020, and unlike the previous system, controls the whole school.

===== Annunciators =====

There is an EST 3-LCDANN LCD annunciator located by the entrance.

==== Notification Appliances ====

The notification appliances are all from EST's "Genesis" line of products. The hallways and classrooms have EST GCRF-S7VM (red, 70.7V, ceiling mount, FIRE lettering) speaker/strobes. The hallways also have EST GCRF-S7 (red, ceiling mount, 70.7V, FIRE lettering) speakers for additional sound coverage. There are also a few EST "Genesis LED" GL1RF-VMC (red, wall mount, FIRE lettering) LED strobes which are also likely in the washrooms. The entrance has an EST G4RF-S7VM (red, wall mount, 70.7V, FIRE lettering) speaker/strobes. Outside, there are EST WG4RF-SVMC (red, FIRE lettering) speaker/strobes.

==== Pull Stations ====

The pull stations are all EST SIGA-278 dual-action addressable pull stations. It is likely some of them were kept in the 2003 expansion.

==== FACP ====

The fire alarm panel for this wing was a Simplex 4007ES Hybrid installed in 2016, that replaced a 16-zone Simplex 4002. The 4002 was probably installed in 1992 when the auditorium was added. When the 4002 went into alarm, it coded all the bells to march time. In 2003, the 4002 was networked to an EST3 that supervised the expansion.

===== Annunciators =====

When the 4002 was still in use, there was a Simplex 4602-9102 status command unit, aka LED remote annunciator with a Simplex 4602-9101 remote command unit.

==== Notification Appliances ====

The notification appliances located throughout the middle school part were Simplex 2901-9333 vibrating bells on Simplex 4903-9101 strobe plates. For the high school, there were Simplex 2901-9332 vibrating bells on Simplex 4905-9921 retrofit plates with Simplex 4904-9139 remote strobes (15cd) on them. For the washrooms in the high school, there were Simplex 4904-9137 remote strobes (15cd). For outdoor notification, there were two Simplex 2901-9333 vibrating bells. Before 2003, there were four, but two were removed, with one not even having its gong attached.

=== Initiating Devices ===

==== Pull Stations ====

The pull stations in the middle school were Simplex 2099-9756 dual-action T-bar pull stations. For the high school, there were vintage Simplex "Chevron" 4251-113 pull stations, with Simplex 4251-20 single-action T-bar pull stations mixed in.

==== Automatic Detection Devices ====

The middle school had Simplex 2098-9577 ionization smoke detectors installed in 1992. The high school had Simplex 2098-9209 photoelectric smoke detectors. Some smoke detectors failed over time, and were replaced with Simplex 4098-9601 photoelectric smoke detectors.
