+=====Annunciators=====
+There is an Edwards EST3-6ANN annunciator in the food court entrance vestibule.
-The mall is protected by a two-stage EST3 fire alarm system. The panels are likely located in security offices, but are not visible. They have been confirmed by an annunciator, which also states that the EST3 was installed pretty recently, sometime after 2018, replacing the original EST3. When the system goes into alarm, all strobes and horns are synchronized, and all horns do 20BPM in first stage, and code-3 in general alarm. The system currently has two supervisories.
+====Notification Appliances====
+The corridors of the mall have Edwards “Integrity” 757-7A-T horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 15/75cd), along with Edwards 757-1A-T remote horns (red, wall-mount).  The tenants have Edwards 757-5A-T horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd).  All corridor notification appliances are ceiling-mounted, while notification appliances in the tenants are wall-mounted.
