System Specifications (2000/2012-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Siemens FireFinder XLS addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main electrical room, directly across from the women's pool locker room. The system runs Siemens' FirePrint addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. First stage coding is 20BPM, followed by temporal in general alarm.

Annunciators

There are Siemens SSD annunciators at every entrance.

Notification Appliances

2002 Portion

Unless otherwise mentioned, all notification appliances are Cerberus Pyrotronics MBDC-10 motor bells (10" gong) mounted on Wheelock RSSP-2475W strobe plates (75cd). The following devices are installed as deficiency replacements: Siemens ST-MC-RETRO-R-B strobe plate (15cd) with original bell in one hallway, SIemens SSM24-10A on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW in the same hallway, Mircom BL-10B on original strobe plate by child care entrance, Siemens SFM24-10A on Siemens ST-MC-RETRO-R-B strobe plate (15cd) by gym, Potter MBA-10-24 on Siemens ST-MC-RETRO-R-B (15cd) by gym and in Arena 2, Siemens SFM-24-10A on original strobe plate on South wall of Arena 1, Simplex 2901-9724 motor bell (10" gong) on original strobe plate in Northwest corner of arena 1. For outdoor notification, there is a Cerberus Pyrotronics MBDC-10 motor bell (10" gong) and a Siemens ST-75-R-WP-B weatherproof remote strobe (red, wall-mount, 30/180cd) outside the high school entrance.

2012 Expansion

All notification appliances are Siemens SSM24-6A motor bells (6" gong) mounted on Siemens ST-MC-RETRO-R-B strobe plates (set to 15cd).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All original pull stations are Cerberus MSI-30B addressable two-stage single-action pull stations. The 2012 expansion has Siemens HMS-2S addressable two-stage single-action pull stations, which are also installed as deficiency replacements in the 2002 portion.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Siemens FP-11 addressable multi-sensor smoke/heat detectors throughout the building, in addition to a sprinkler system with waterflow detection.

 ==== FACP ====
-The fire alarm system is a Siemens FireFinder XLS. The fire panel is in an unmarked electrical room behind the YMCA. It replaced the original Cerberus Pyrotronics MXL in 2012 due to the expansion, and the MXL not having enough capacity to fulfill those requirements. The system is two-stage, and does slow march time in first stage, and code-3 in general alarm.
