FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule. The system runs Mircom's CLIP addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Annunciators[edit | edit source]

There is a Mircom RAX-LCD annunciator paired with a Mircom RAX-1048TZDS annunciator in the southeast stairwell. Both annunciators are mounted in a Mircom BB-1002 enclosure.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All common area notification appliances are Mircom "Select-A-Horn/Strobe" FHS-240R horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to broadband/15cd).

The suites have Mircom MH-S25WA silenceable mini-horns (white, wall-mount) in each bedroom.

One unit has a System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" MHWZA silenceable mini-horn (white, wall-mount) as a deficiency replacement.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are Mircom MS-401AD addressable single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are Mircom MIX-2251BA addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout all common areas, mounted on System Sensor B210LPA bases.
