Alarm System

The Philips Plaza is equipped with a Notifier NFS 3030 Fire Control System.  This System includes smoke detectors, annunciator panel, audible and visual alarms and a central alarm control panel.

Smoke detectors are located in the ceiling of each elevator lobby, in all electrical and telephone rooms and in the air conditioning ductwork.  Each floor is equipped with portable fire extinguishers which are located in the stairwells.

Smoke detectors serve as the primary alarm system and will automatically operate in case of a fire, providing an audible alarm and a visual alarm at the control panel.  The visual alarm will provide location information as to floor and smoke detector being alarmed.

When activated, smoke detectors in the elevator lobbies will cause all elevators to recall to the 1st floor lobby and open itheir doors so passengers may exit.  They will remain parked on the 1st floor until they are reactivated for use.    Elevators are NOT to be used in emergency situations except under the direction and supervision of the Fire Department.
