System Specifications (2017-present)
FACP
The fire alarm system is a Mircom FX-2000 installed in 2017. It replaced an EST QuickStart QS1, after a CPU fail. The panel is located inside the entrance of Sobeys, and is commonly blocked by shopping carts, which is considered a code violation.
Notification Appliances
All of the indoor notification appliances are from System Sensor's "SpectrAlert Advance" lineup. The main notification appliances are System Sensor P2RA (red, wall mount, 2 wire) horn/strobes, which are all set to low volume, code-3, and 30cd. They are in place of the Genesis horn/strobes, even on the ceilings at Sobeys. For outdoor notification, there's a System Sensor SRKA (red, wall mount) weatherproof remote strobe outside of PetValu, which did not replace anything as there was no alarm there before. All of these alarms are operating independently, and were installed in 2017 along with the Mircom system.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All of the pull stations are Mircom MS-401AP "Advanced Protocol" pull stations. They are also installed where the original pull stations were.
Automatic Detection Devices
The smoke detectors are Mircom MIX-2251AP addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, installed in 2017 when the Mircom system was.
