Notification Appliances

Dressing Room Hallway

All notification appliances are Edwards "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no lettering, set to 15cd) mounted on Edwards G1TR trim plates (red). These were installed in the mid-2000s for some unknown reason.

Arena/Lobby

The main lobby has an Edwards "Durabel" 6100D vibrating bell (6" gong), which remained from the previous system. The main arena has a Wheelock MB-G6-24 motor bell (6" gong), as a deficiency replacement for a Durabel.

Several areas have Mircom MS-401 conventional single-action pull stations as deficiency replacements. There is a Notifier NFM-950B conventional single-action pull station next to the main entrance, and a Notifier MPS-950B conventional single-action pull station in the main arena. Both were installed as deficiency replacements.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Edwards EC30U-3 conventional photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building. These were installed in the mid-2010s.
