System Specifications[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by a Simplex 4120 networked fire alarm system. All nodes are Simplex 4100U addressable fire alarm panels; one node is located in the main entrance vestibule. The system runs Simplex's IDNet addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The system is configured for two-stage operation; the messages and/or tones are unknown at this time.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All notification appliances are Simplex "TrueAlert" 4902-9716CA remote speakers (red, wall-mount, set to 70V).
There are Atlas Soundolier SVT-72 remote speakers throughout the building, however these are likely disconnected.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are Simplex 4099-9004CA addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are Simplex "TrueAlarm" 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors at the top of each stairwell, and likely in other areas. All detectors are mounted on Simplex 4098-9792 bases.

Modules[edit | edit source]

There are Simplex 4090-9001 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.
There are Simplex 4090-9002 addressable relay modules serving various purposes.
