The building is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule. The system runs Mircom’s CLIP addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.
This panel was installed in 2018 replacing an older variant.

Booster Panels

There is a Mircom INX-10A booster power supply in the main floor west electrical room, powering the in-suite mini horns.

Notification Appliances

Most common area notification appliances are Mircom “Select-A-Horn/Strobe” FHS-240R horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 30cd, set to electromechanical).
The games room has a Mircom FHS-240W horn/strobe (white, wall-mount, set to electromechanical/15cd).
The first, second, fifth and parkade floors have one Mircom FHS-340R horn/strobe each (red, wall-mount, set to electromechanical/15cd) as deficiency replacements.
There are two Mircom FHS-400-RR horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd) on the fifth floor as deficiency replacements.
There is a Mircom FS-400-RR remote strobe (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd) in the weight room.
Most suites have Mircom MH-25W mini-horns (white, mix of original and replacement).
Some suites have Mircom MH-S25WA silenceable mini-horns (white) as deficiency replacements.
