The garden centre has Edwards 439D-10AWC bells with EST "Integrity" 202-5A-001 (red, 15cd) strobes under them.

The following devices were installed as deficiency replacements:

  • Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bells (10" gong) on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW (red, set to 15cd) strobe plates, beside the panel, and by the checkouts.
  • Wheelock MB-G10-24 motor bell (10" gong) on a Wheelock RSSP-2415W (15cd) strobe plate by aisle 43.
  • Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bell (10" gong) in the cut shop, mounted on the original Wheelock strobe plate.
  • Four Simplex 2901-9724 motor bells (10" gong) on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plates (red, set to 15cd).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations except for one are the original Edwards 270-SPO conventional pull stations.

There is a Simplex MS-301C conventional pull station in the garden centre installed as a deficiency replacement.
