System Specifications

FACP: Simplex 4100U System Type: Addressable (Networked, Two-stage) System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage:70.7VRMS (audible) 24VDC (visual) Date of last known Upgrade: 2017 Year Opened: 1976, 1994, 1998

Halifax Stanfield International Airport is the largest airport in Atlantic Canada. It serves the entire province of Nova Scotia. It opened in 1960, and was expanded in 1976, 1994, and 1998. The airport was possibly renovated following the 1998 expansion, although this is unconfirmed. The system is from the 2000s.

System Specifications (2000s-present)

FACP

The airport is protected by a Simplex 4100U addressable fire alarm system. The panels are networked, and one is located next to the parkade tunnel. The system model was also confirmed by Johnson Controls, who services this system. The system runs Simplex's IDNet addressable protocol, is two-stage, and is voice evac. The tones are unknown, but the message is likely custom.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances vary throughout the terminal. The departures hall, post security, has Simplex 2902-9311 8" speakers (white, ceiling-mount) and 2902-9313 4" square speakers (white, ceiling-mount). There are also Wheelock RSS-24MCW-FR remote strobes (red, wall-mount) and Wheelock RSS-24MCC-FW remote strobes (red, ceiling-mount), both mounted on the ceiling, and both set on 15 candela. The arrivals area has Simplex 2902-9313 4" square speakers (white, ceiling-mount) mounted on the ceiling, as well as Wheelock RSS-24MCW-FR remote strobes (red, wall-mount), mounted on the wall. The arrivals hall and parking garage have Wheelock ET1010-R vandal-resistant speakers (red, wall-mount), with Wheelock RSS-24MCW-FR remote strobes (red, wall-mount) mounted below them.
