System Specifications (1996-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Simplex 4100ES addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule, and is equipped with the Color ES touchscreen interface. The system runs Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The evacuation signal is slow whoop followed by a custom message.
This panel was installed in 2023, replacing a 4100U w/InfoAlarm, which in turn replaced a Simplex 4100+ in the late 2000s. This panel is installed in the 4100+ cabinet.
