System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm control panel is a Mircom FX-2000, original to the complex from 2006. The panel is located in the front entrance. When in alarm condition, the panel makes all horns (FHS-240R and MH-S25WA) do code-3, with all strobes synchronized. The system runs Mircom's CLIP addressable protocol.
Notification Appliances
The main notification appliances are Mircom FHS-240R horn/strobes in the hallways and lobby, original from 2006. The units have Mircom MH-S25WA silenceable mini horns, one per bedroom. The horns are loud enough to be heard throughout the units. The FHS-240R horn/strobes are set on high volume, electromechanical horn. In one of the units, a Mircom mini-horn in a bedroom broke down, and was replaced with a System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" MHWZA (white, silenceable) mini-horn.
