System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by a Notifier NFS2-640C conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located behind the front customer service desk at the entrance, and has multiple Notifier XP6-MAA zone cards to accommodate the system's conventional technology. The system coding is likely continuous.

The NFS2-640C replaced an EST ESA2000 in 2011.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are Wheelock MBS-G10-24 motor bell/strobes (10" gong, 1.5cd).

There are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10" gong) scattered throughout the sales floor.

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.

-The store is protected by a Notifier NFS2-640C conventional fire alarm system. The main panel is located behind the front customer service desk at the entrance. It replaced an EST ESA2000. This panel has multiple Notifier XP6-MA zone modules in it to make it conventional. The system coding is likely continuous.

 ==== Notification Appliances ====
-Most notification appliances are the original Wheelock MBS-G10-24 motor bell/strobes (10" gong, 1.5cd). There is one outside under the ceiling and is very weathered out, with the strobe yellow and faded. The other original notification appliances in the store are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10" gong), and can be seen kind of mixed in, likely for more coverage. The garden centre has Edwards 439D-10AWC bells with EST "Integrity" 202-5A-001 (red, 15cd) strobes under them. There are two Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bells (10" gong) on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW (red, multi-candela) strobe plates, beside the panel, and by the checkouts, installed as deficiency replacements. At the back of the store by aisle 43, there is a Wheelock MB-G10-24 motor bell (10" gong) on a Wheelock RSSP-2415W (15ce) strobe plate that was installed as a deficiency replacement prior to 2017. In the "cut shop", there is an unknown 10" bell on a strobe plate from a Wheelock MBS-G10-24, however it is unknown as there are only employees allowed back there; the bell was installed as a deficiency replacement.  In 2018, approximately 4 Wheelock MBS-G10-24 bell/strobes were replaced with Simplex 2901-9724 motor bells (10" gong) on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plates (multi-candela) as deficiency replacements. One is facing downward.
