2. Fire DetectionAlann and EVAC (Speaker) System

General Infomiation:
Fire Delection System- 'Notifier AFP-200' single loop addrcssable panel has been used, but most
detcclo$ are conventional lype connected to modules in zones. The convenlionalsmoke detector in
each guesl room ofBlock A 10 D has been connected to a remote indicator oulside the room for
indication ol which room is acti!ated. Heal delectors instead ofsmoke delcctors have been used in most
non-guesl room areas includinC ofTices. public/ BOH areas. andneed to be replaced by snlokc detectors.
