FACP

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is likely located in an electrical room. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The system is configured for two-stage operation. The evacuation tones are believed to be a 20BPM tone plus an alert message for the alert signal, followed by a temporal tone with a custom evacuation message as the alarm signal. The message scripts are unknown, and the general alarm timer length is five minutes.
