The main notification appliances are the original Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells from 1987. Most of them are behind metal grills, which is seen in the lobby and hotel room floors. Some bells, like in the parkade do not have metal grills. A 439D-10AWC broke down in the 2000s on the 3rd floor and was replaced by a Notifier KMS-6-24A motor bell, again, behind a grill. Near the panel itself, there is an Edwards 439D-10AWC and a possibly Mircom or Amseco 6" motor bell right next to it. It is unknown if one of them is in use or both ring at the same time.
