System Specifications[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is likely temporal.

There is an Edwards EST3-LCDANN annunciator located at one entrance of the stadium, and one in the recreation centre vestibule which is fitted with the LCDXL1 display.

Most notification appliances are Edwards MB10-24 motor bells (10" gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd).

The washrooms and some other areas of the stadium have General Signal MB10-24 motor bells (10" gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd), installed in 2001.
