The main notification appliances are Siemens SE-MC-CW-B (rebranded bilingual Wheelock E60-24MCC-FW) speaker/strobes and Siemens SEC-W (rebranded Wheelock E60-W) speakers. They are found throughout the building, mall and can be seen in lots of tenants. The Indigo store has SEC-W speakers and Siemens ZR-MC-CW-B (rebranded bilingual Wheelock ZRS-MCC-FW) strobes. The Simons store has the two main speakers and speaker/strobes with a Siemens ST-MC-CW (rebranded bilingual Wheelock RSS-24MCCR-FW) ceiling mount strobe.
