System Specifications

FACP

The main fire alarm panel is a Mircom FX-2000, original from 2014. It is not visible, but the annunciator is only compatible with the FX-2000. When the system goes into alarm, it does code-3.

Annunciators

The annunciator is a Mircom RAX-LCD, located right next to the main entrance. It is blocked by flyers and other merchandise normally, which is a fire code violation. It also does not have LED annunciation, which is another code violation, as Canadian Fire Codes require LED Annunciation on all panels and annunciators.
