System Specifications

FACP

The store is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 "fire control system." The panel was installed in 2006 when the store was built. There is an annunciator at the entrance, and the main panel itself is right beside the returns desk.

Notification Appliances

Most of the notification appliances are Mircom FHS-240R horn/strobes installed in 2006. Two horn/strobes have been replaced. In 2011-12, there was an FHS-240R with its strobe ripped out. It has been replaced with a Mircom FHS-340R horn/strobe. At the photography desk, an FHS-240R broke down and was replaced with a System Sensor SpectrAlert Advanced PC2R (red, ceiling) horn/strobe in 2017. In the meat packaging, there is a Mircom FHS-240W horn/strobe to blend in with the wall. The freezers, produce and dairy rooms have System Sensor SpectrAlert P1224MCK (red, wall, weatherproof) horn/strobes. For outdoor notification, there are two System Sensor S1224MCK (red, wall, weatherproof) strobes, one at the entrance, and one behind the store.
