FACP[edit | edit source]
The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 networked addressable fire alarm system. There are likely between 5 and 10 nodes on this system; the locations of these are unknown. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The system is configured for two-stage operation. The alert tone is likely 20BPM, and the alarm tone is likely temporal. The system plays messages for each stage according to the tower's website (see sources below).
Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]
Most areas have Edwards "Genesis" G4-S7VM speaker/strobes (white, wall-mount, 70V, set to 15cd).
The restrooms and possibly other areas have Edwards G1-VM remote strobes (white, wall-mount, no lettering, set to 15cd).
Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]
Pull Stations[edit | edit source]
All pull stations are EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]
There are Edwards SIGA-OSD addressable optical smoke detectors in some areas, mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.
Modules[edit | edit source]
There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.
There are EST SIGA-CR addressable relay modules serving various purposes.
There are EST SIGA-IM addressable isolator modules on all SLCs.
EOLs[edit | edit source]
There are Edwards EOL-P1 end of line resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.
