Paumanack Village in the Long Island town of Belleville, N.Y., recently installed one such system, from Fire-Lite of Northford, Conn., in its brand new, 100-unit adult living community. Dave Warasila of Doych Electric is contractor for the installation, but also handled the intercom, alarm system, all the electric, day and night lighting, on-site generators and more for the facility.
Warasila and his team are installing an MS-9600 control panel in the building, in conjunction with the company’s audio evacuation system and detectors, including three in each apartment. The control panel has a capacity of 318 addressable devices on one signaling line circuit, and uses surface-mount technology. The audio evacuation system features up to 1500 watts of digital audio for the clearest possible transmissions to people who may be partially hearing-impaired.
