System Specifications
FACP
The building is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located after the entrance, and is a two-bay cabinet. It was installed in 2010 following a renovation. The system coding is temporal.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances are mostly System Sensor SSM24-10A motor bells (10" gong) on Amseco RSB24-153075 strobe plates (rebranded by Mircom, 15cd).
There are also Amseco MSB-10-PV4 motor bells (10" gong) on Amseco RSB24-153075 strobe plates (rebranded by Mircom, 15cd). The strobe plates were installed in 2012 onto the existing bells.
In the lobby, there is one General Signal MB10-24 motor bell (10" gong) as a deficiency replacement.
The fitness room has an original Mirtone 74306 vibrating bells (10" gong), while the third floor has a newer variant.
Most guest rooms have Mircom MH-S25WA (white, silenceable) mini horns, although some rooms have Mircom “Select-a-Horn/Strobe” FHS-240W horn/strobes (white, wall-mount, 30cd)

Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
Most of the pull stations are the original Mirtone 73201 conventional dual-action pull stations.
Several of these have been replaced with Mircom MS-401 conventional pull stations since the 2000s, some as deficiency replacements.
There is one original Edwards 270-SPO (shield logo, FIRE ALARM) conventional pull station at one entrance in the lobby, that is likely new old stock.

There are Mircom 2151A photoelectric smoke detectors throughout, mounted on System Sensor B210LPA bases.
