The Fire Alarm Control Panel Replacement Project at Rapid City Regional Airport ATCT aims to replace the outdated fire alarm control panel, essential for fire detection and alarm systems in air traffic control environments. The existing panel, installed 23 years ago, is showing signs of malfunction, with parts no longer available, increasing the risk during fire emergencies. The project requires using certified Honeywell/Notifier equipment, ensuring minimal disruption to operations during the installation process. Key tasks include replacing the panel with a new NFS2-640 system, installing a new remote annunciator, and providing comprehensive testing and training for personnel. All new equipment must be UL-listed. The project is expected to be completed in one day, with a focus on maintaining safety and compliance standards. This replacement is critical not only for statutory adherence but also for ensuring the continued safety and functionality of national airspace operations.
