New notification devices and control panels are part of a much-needed upgrade for a luxury Florida condo building.

A complete renovation of the fire and life safety systems was needed for a Sarasota, Florida, condominium building built in 1976. The Lido Surf and Sand Condominiums building, located on Lido Beach on Florida’s Gulf Coast, had numerous problems with substandard wiring, inferior workmanship and outdated equipment, stemming from a previous retrofit. A new system, consisting of Silent Knight fire alarm control panels and System Sensor notification devices, brought the building and its residents to an entirely new level of protection and life-safety readiness.

Located on one of Florida’s best beaches, the Lido Surf and Sand, just short of the 75-foot threshold for high-rise code, is a luxury condo building that includes 106 residences and all the amenities. A large number of the building’s residents are seniors, so consideration had to be given to adding a voice evacuation feature with a crisp, clear transmission to the notification package. In addition, the system needed to be heard over the high ambient noise levels resulting from its oceanfront proximity.
