 ==== FACP ====
+The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system.  The panel location is unknown.  The system runs Edwards' Signature-series addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation.  First stage coding is 20BPM, followed by temporal in general alarm.  This panel replaced an EST QuickStart QS4.
-The fire alarm panel is an EST QuickStart QS4, as confirmed by an annunciator. It is guaranteed that it is original, due to the GE logo. The system is two-stage, according to the pull stations. The panel is not visible.
 ===== Annunciators =====
+There is an Edwards EST3-6ANN annunciator in the main entrance vestibule.
-There is an EST QS4-CPU-1 annunciator, with two SL30 zone cards at the main entrance.
 ==== Notification Appliances ====
+=====Feature Gym=====
-The notification appliances are mainly Edwards MB10-24 motor bells on EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R strobe plates. In the fields, the bell/strobes have wire grills on them. In the feature gym, there are the mentioned bell/strobes on one side, and Mircom BL-10B motor bells on EST 403-5A-R strobe plates. Why the Mircom bells are there is unknown, but they are most likely original. In the community gym, there is one Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell on an EST 403-5A-R strobe plate, mixed in with the MB10-24 combos, also original. One of the MB10-24 bells has a green Skittles wrapper stuck to the striker.
