The University at Albany is a public research university with campuses in Albany, Rensselaer and Guilderland, NY.

The Uptown Campus in Albany is most known for being in weatherdan882002’s UAlbany fire alarm and fire drill videos. This page will cover the Campus Center.

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by a Simplex 4120 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in an electrical or mechanical room. It is not networked to any of the other buildings on campus. The system runs Simplex’s MAPNET II addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice-evacuation.The following custom alarm pattern over the speakers is: two chimes, two slow whoops, three playbacks of the default message, and then slow whoop until silenced. The strobes also flash once before the audio starts. The outdoor NAC is free-run continuous.
