System Specifications (2000s-present)

FACP

The mall is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. This is a networked system with several nodes, the locations of which are unknown at this time. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The alert coding is 20BPM, and the alarm coding is temporal.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are Edwards bells. Most areas have Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10” gong) behind metal grilles. The non-primary corridors have the same Edwards 439D-10AWC bells, but surface mounted. There is one Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bell (6” gong) near entrance 1. The Decathlon store has Edwards MB10-24 motor bells (10” gong), installed in 2020.
