System Specifications

FACP

The store is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown, but the annunciators indicate that it is an FX-2000. The system was installed in about 2006, and replaced a Simplex 4208. The system coding is unknown at this time.

Annunciators

There are two Mircom BB-1002D annunciator enclosures with RAX-LCD (LCD) RAX-1032TZD (LED) annunciator modules inside. One is at the north entrance on the first floor, the other is at the West entrance on the second floor. Next to the second floor annunciator, there is a disconnected Simplex 4208 annunciator (model unknown), which is the only remaining device from the original system.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are Mircom BL-10B motor bells. There are also some Simplex 2901-9724 10" motor bells, which could either have been replacements or left over from the 4208. Unlike the rest of the mall, there are no visual notification appliances in this store.
