7044 Ogden Road SE is a small apartment building in Ogden. It was built in 1914 as a Chinese laundromat with a boarding house upstairs. It's system is quite interesting, as it has no actual panel and simply operates off of 120VAC, with the bells in series with the initiating devices. Obviously the components are not original. Unfortunately the 106 year old building is slated for demolition in February 2021 to make way for the new Green Line LRT. Twentytwo22 will attempt to salvage as much as possible before then.
System Specifications
Note: that there is NO FACP for this system. It's a hardwired 120VAC system in series, so it's kind of a "1 zone, 1 NAC conventional fire panel".
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances consist of three Amseco PBA-6-120 vibrating bells.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
The three pull stations consist of one Edwards 274-111 at the basement door, and two Edwards 270-SPO pull stations in the second floor hallway.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are two 120V smoke detectors with an auxillary contact from an unknown manufacturer on the second floor, and in the basement laundry room respectively. [further investigation will provide an update soon]
