System Specifications (2003-2023)
FACP
The building was protected by a Simplex 4100U addressable fire alarm system. The panel location was unknown. The system ran Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and was equipped with voice-evacuation. The system was configured for two-stage operation. The alert signal was a 20BPM beep, followed by temporal as the alarm signal.
Notification Appliances
All audible notification appliances were Wheelock ET-1080-R speakers (red, vandal-resistant, wall-mount).
Most speakers had Wheelock RSS-2415W remote strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd) next to them. These were also in some areas of the seating bowl.
Other areas had Wheelock RSS-24MCC-FW remote strobes (white, ceiling-mount, set to 15cd).
Some areas had Wheelock WST-24 remote strobes (red, wall-mount, 1.5cd) leftover from the 1994 renovation.
The arena’s public address system was utilized for audible notification in the seating bowl, and was connected via a relay module.
