System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm panel is an EST3, installed in 2016. It replaced a Siemens MXL system from 2003. This system, unlike the MXL, is not two-stage. The panel is at the front entrance, and has had two supervisories in July 2019.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances seen throughout the museum are EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes on G1RT-FIRE (FIRE lettering) trim plates. They replaced Siemens U-MMT-MCS-W-B horn/strobes. In the "Cretaceous Gardens", there are EST WG4RN-HVMC (red, no FIRE) horn/strobes. For outdoor notification, there is an EST CS405-7A-T "Integrity" weatherproof strobe. There is also an Edwards 340D Adaptabel from 1985 under it, but it hasn't been in use for a while. It was part of the original system.
