 Communication
Systems, Inc. installed a fire alarm system to protect
the Lake Hotel in Yellowstone National Park. They were selected
through direct negotiation to provide design, engineering,
project management, equipment, programming, checkout and
certification. A
project like this normally takes several months but they
were able to complete it in six weeks.
The Lake Hotel is the oldest hotel in Yellowstone National Park. It was
built on a site long known as a meeting place for Native Americans, trappers,
and mountain men. It is the oldest inhabited wood structure in the National
Park Service. Guests were first housed there in 1891 when rates were
$4.00 a day and included meals.

Notifier
Onyx NFS-3030 Fire Alarm System |
The Notifier
Onyx NFS-3030 Intelligent Fire Alarm System with Voice Evacuation
was selected to protect The Lake Hotel and its guests.
Information
is critical to fire evacuation personnel. The NFS-3030 is
able to present vital information to operators concerning
a fire situation, fire progression, and evacuation details.
The
NFS-3030 is designed for medium to large-scale facilities.
It is ideally suited for applications where fire emergency
detection and evacuation are critical. The NFS-3030 supports
up to 3,180 intelligent addressable field devices such
as smoke detectors and speaker strobes. Over 830 field
devices were installed in The Lake Hotel.

In the
dining room and main lobby area Communication Systems, Inc.
utilized the Notifier RFX (Radio Frequency Control Detection)
Wireless Gateway and the SDRF-751 Wireless Smoke Detectors
to avoid having to install wires. RFX is often used in cultural/heritage
properties such as museums, libraries, state and federal
buildings.

RFX Wireless and VCM Voice Control. |
The RFX
Gateway can communicate with up to four remote receivers.
The RFX-R receivers monitor wireless signals from up to 80
wireless smoke detectors. They transmit the status of those
detectors via communication wiring to the RFX gateway. The
RFX gateway in turn connects to a NOTIFIER intelligent panel
via the Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) loop. The SLC loop gives
each wireless smoke detector its own address and custom status
indication.
