System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm control unit is a Mircom FX-2000 in a BBX-1072A cabinet. Despite being an addressable panel, the system is mostly conventional but the main and fourth floors have been converted to addressable. It was likely installed in the early 2000s. From the devices installed throughout, it is most definitely an original Edwards 6500 as evident by the abandoned annunciator behind the current annunciator. The addressable parts of this system run Mircom's Advanced addressable protocol, and the system coding is continuous.
Annunciators
There is one RAX-LCD in the front lobby. Mounted to the front door of the old 6500 annunciator cabinet.
Notification Appliances
There is a mix of mostly Mircom BL-10A and BL-10B motor bells with a few BL-6A/B (6-inch) motor bells mixed in.
