FACP

The building is protected by a Simplex 4007ES conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule. The system coding is temporal.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are from Simplex's "TrueAlert" line of products. Most notification appliances are Simplex “TrueAlert” 4906-9127 horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd). There are Simplex 4906-9104 remote strobes (white, ceiling-mount, set to 30cd) located throughout the store on the ceiling.

There is a Simplex 4906-9105 weatherproof remote strobe (red, wall-mount) outside the building.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All storefront pull stations are Simplex 2099-9754 conventional single-action pull stations. The backroom has Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations, leftover from the old system.

Automatic Detection Devices

The store is equipped with a sprinkler system, and no detectors are present in the storefront.

EOLs

There are Simplex 2081-9040C end-of-line resistor plates on all circuits.

Former System Specifications

FACP: EST 6632 FACP Location: Main Entrance Vestibule System Type: Single-Stage Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VFWR System Coding: Continuous Strobes Synchronized: No Date of last known Upgrade: 2010s Year Decomissioned: 2021

FACP

The building was protected by an EST 6632 conventional fire alarm system. The panel was located in the main entrance vestibule. The system coding was continuous. The panel was replaced due to a main board failure.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances were Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10” gong), mounted on Edwards 403-5A-001 strobe plates (15cd). There was one Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plate in the floral department as a deficiency replacement; the Edwards bell remained intact. The centre areas of the store had Edwards 202-5A-001 remote strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd) and Edwards 202-5A-101 remote strobes (white, wall-mount, 15cd) on the ceiling. There were also System Sensor “SpectrAlert Advance” SRA (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd) remote strobes on the ceiling, as deficiency replacements.

For exterior notification, there was an Edwards 439D-10AWC bell on EST 403-5A-001 strobe plate outside the entrance.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations were Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

Not known. There was a sprinkler system with waterflow detection, wired as a zone on the 6632.

EOLs

There were Edwards EOL-P1 end-of-line resistor plates on all circuits.

-The notification appliances mainly consist of the original Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells on EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R strobe plates. In the floral section, there's an Edwards 439D-10AWC bell on a Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plate, the Wheelock strobe plate replaced an EST strobe plate that stopped working. On the ceiling, there is a mix of EST "Integrity" 202-5A-T (red) and 202-5A-TW (white) remote strobes scattered around, all with the standard wall "FIRE" lenses. They are original, and they are for additional visual coverage. Some of them have been replaced with System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" SR (red, wall) remote strobes, again on the ceiling.
