Former System Specifications (2005-2022)

FACP

The building was protected by a Siemens MXL addressable fire alarm system. The panel was located near the former west entrance. The system ran Siemens’ FirePrint addressable protocol, and was configured for two-stage operation. Alert signal coding was 20BPM, followed by temporal as alarm signal. General alarm timer length was 5 minutes.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances were Siemens U-MMT-MCS-B multi-tone horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to continuous horn/15cd).

Some areas had Siemens MTH-MC-R-B multi-tone horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to continuous horn/15cd) as deficiency replacements.

The Walmart formerly had Siemens U-MMT-S17-C horn/strobes (red, ceiling-mount, 15cd) installed on the walls, which were replaced when an independent system was installed. The same horn/strobes could be found in the hallways, some with wall orientation "FIRE" stickers.

The Best Buy formerly had Siemens U-MMT-MCS-W-B horn/strobes (white, wall-mount), which were replaced when an independent system was installed.

Some areas had Siemens ZH-MC-R horn/strobes (red, wall-mount). All horns were set to continuous horn.

There was a Siemens MBDC-6C motor bell (6" gong) in an entrance vestibule, however the purpose was unknown.
