System Specifications (New Upper Terminal) (2016-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Notifier NFS2-640C addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown. The system runs Notifier's FlashScan addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances except for the loading area are from Wheelock's "Exceder" line of products.

Main Terminal

The notification appliances are a mix of Wheelock HSWC horn/strobes (white, ceiling-mount, set to 15cd) and Wheelock HNWC remote horns (white, ceiling-mount). Some areas have Wheelock HSW horn/strobes (white, wall-mount, set to 15cd). The stairwells have Wheelock HNW remote horns (white, wall-mount).

Balconies

The notification appliances are a mix of Wheelock HSR horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd) and Wheelock HNR remote horns (red, wall-mount).

Loading Area

All notification appliances are System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" P2RKA weatherproof horn/strobes (red, wall-mount).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Notifier NBG-12LX addressable dual-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Notifier FSP-851A addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building. These are mounted on System Sensor B210LPA low-profile bases in most areas, and on System Sensor B200SRA sounder bases in some areas. There is also a sprinkler system with waterflow detection.

Modules

There are Notifier FMM-1A addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

FACP

The building was likely protected by an EST ESA2000 conventional fire alarm system. The panel location was unknown. The system coding was likely continuous.

Notification Appliances

Common Areas

Most notification appliances were Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd). The hallway outside the store had an Edwards "Durabel" 6100D vibrating bell (6" gong) mounted on an Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plate (15cd). The store had an Edwards "Integrity" 692-5A-HSR mini horn/strobe (red, wall-mount).

Gondola Loading Area

The gondola loading area had EST "Integrity" 757-5A-T horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations were Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There were Edwards EDW1412A conventional ionization smoke detectors throughout the building.
