FACP[edit | edit source]

The building was protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel location was unknown. The system ran EST’s Signature addressable protocol, and was configured for two-stage operation. The alert signal coding was 20BPM, followed by temporal for the alarm.
The system was also equipped with voice evacuation, but only activated the speakers when the panel mic was keyed, silencing the bells.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All audible notification appliances were Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10” gong), mostly mounted on EST 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd).
There was one bell mounted remotely in the lobby, with an EST “Integrity” 202-5A-T remote strobe (red, wall-mount, 15cd) underneath it.

Voice Communication[edit | edit source]

There were EST “Integrity” 965-3A-8RW speaker/strobes (white, ceiling-mount, 8”, 30cd, round) throughout the building; the strobes were active when the alarm was activated.
There were EST “Genesis” GC-S7 speakers (white, ceiling-mount) in some areas.
These speakers only were to give voice announcements.
There were Gentex SSPK24-15/75WR speaker/strobes (red, ceiling-mount, 15/75cd) in some areas, but these were disconnected when the EST3 was installed.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations were EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There were EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout, mounted on SIGA-SB bases.

Modules[edit | edit source]

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