Ben Schumin Photography Portfolio

A pair of Pyrotronics MS-51 pull stations in the main entrance area at the P. Buckley Moss museum in Waynesboro, Virginia.

This configuration exists outside of the main gallery area (where a Halon system is used). The pull station on the right activates the building fire alarm system, which uses Wheelock ET speaker notification appliances. The pull station on the left sends water into the two-stage sprinkler system, which is normally dry unless an initiating action occurs to fill the system. The dry pipe sprinkler system, as well as the Halon system in the main gallery, are due to the need to protect the large number of original artworks housed in the building.
