System Specifications (2016-present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the lobby. It is equipped with the LCDXL1 display and an ENVOY graphic annunciator. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

Most notification appliances are EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no marking, set to 15cd), mounted on EST G1RT-FIRE trim plates; others are not mounted on trim plates.

The Cretaceous Gardens have Edwards WG4RN-HVMC weatherproof horn/strobes (red, no marking, set to 60cd).

For outdoor notification, there is an EST CS405-7A-T (red, 15/75cd) weatherproof remote strobe by the main entrance.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are EST SIGC-270B addressable bilingual single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are EST SIGA2-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors in some areas, mounted on SIGA-SB bases.

The air handling units have EST "SuperDuct" SIGA-SD addressable photoelectric duct smoke detectors.

There is also a sprinkler system.

Modules[edit | edit source]

There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

There are also EST SIGA-CR relay modules serving various purposes.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

There are Edwards EOL-P1 end-of-line resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.

Former System Specifications (2003-2016)[edit | edit source]

System Specifications
FACP: Siemens MXL
FACP Location: Near Main Entrance
System Type: Two-Stage Addressable
System Line Voltage: 120VAC
NAC Voltage: 24VDC

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building was protected by a Siemens MXL addressable fire alarm system. The panel was located near the main entrance. The system ran Siemens' FirePrint addressable protocol, and was configured for two stage operation. The alert signal coding was 20BPM, and the alarm signal was temporal.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All notification appliances were Siemens U-MMT-MCS-W-B (white, bilingual, wall-mount, multi-candela) multi tone horn/strobes. They were likely set to the horn tone.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations were Siemens MSI-30B addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

None noticed. There was a sprinkler system.

Modules[edit | edit source]

There were Siemens TRI-M addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

There were Siemens EL-300C end-of-line resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.

Bonus Information[edit | edit source]

Above the outdoor strobe, there is an Edwards "Adaptabel" 333D single-stroke bell (6" gong), left over from the original Edwards 6500 system. It is disconnected.
