Annunciators

There is a Notifier ACM-24AT LED annunciator outside, with a disconnected graphic annunciator under it.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are System Sensor “L-Series” P2RLA horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to electromechanical 15cd). The classrooms contain System Sensor “SpectrAlert Advance” SRA remote strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd).
For outdoor notification, there is a System Sensor P2RLA horn/strobe outside a classroom.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations except for the gymnasium are Notifier NBG-12LX addressable dual-action pull stations. The gymnasium has the original EST SIGA-270 addressable single-action pull stations, the original modules were removed and the switches are wired to Notifier FMM-101A addressable modules, located directly behind the station.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Notifier FSP-951A addressable photoelectric smoke detectors located throughout, mounted on System Sensor B300A-6 bases. 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.
