The notification appliances were kept from the original fire alarm system, and are all from EST's "Genesis" line of products. They are a mix of EST  G1R-HDVM (red, wall mount, multi-candela no FIRE) horn/strobes and EST G1R-V75 (red, wall mount, 75cd, no FIRE) remote strobes.  Usually there are two horn/strobes and two remote strobes on each opposite side of a pole, though some are on walls. Some have the EST logo and some do not. The McDonald's has a G1R-HDVM installed in 2019 after the remodel, but it's upside down. Most of the notification appliances are original to the store.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances were kept from the original fire alarm system, and are all from EST's "Genesis" line of products. They are a mix of EST G1R-HDVM (red, wall mount, multi-candela no FIRE) horn/strobes and EST G1R-V75 (red, wall mount, 75cd, no FIRE) remote strobes. Usually there are two horn/strobes and two remote strobes on each opposite side of a pole, though some are on walls. Some have the EST logo and some do not. The McDonald's has a G1R-HDVM installed in 2019 after the remodel, but it's upside down. Most of the notification appliances are original to the store.

The original fire alarm panel was an EST QuickStart QS1, installed in 2003 when the store was built. It had many troubles during the remodel of the McDonald's in 2019. The system got upgraded in 2021 to a Simplex 4007ES.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances were the EST Genesis G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes and EST "Genesis" G1R-V75 (red, wall, no FIRE) remote strobes that are still installed today, despite the system upgrade.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations were all EST SIGA-270 addressable pull stations. Most were original from 2003, but there were two from 2011-2013 (EST/GE). These pull stations were replaced when the system was upgraded due to not being compatible with the 4007ES.

Automatic Detection Devices

The smoke detectors were EST SIGA-PS photoelectric addressable smoke detectors, original from 2003. These were replaced due to not being compatible with Simplex.
