System Specifications

FACP: Simplex 4100ES FACP Location: Switchboard Office (Main Node) System Type: Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 70VRMS System Coding: 20BPM 500Hz w/automated message (alert) Temporal 500Hz (alarm) Date of last known Upgrade: 2012 Year Opened: 1939

St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital is a 209-bed acute care hospital located at 154 Lamerchant Rd, St. Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is operated by Eastern Health since 2005. The building was built in 1939 as a 100 bed hospital by the Sisters of Mercy, and was expanded in 1950, 1958, 1962 and finally 1972. The fire alarm system was upgraded in 1989, with a panel replacement in 2012.

System Specifications (1989-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Simplex 4100ES conventional fire alarm system. The system is a network of 3 panels, the main node is located in the switchboard office. The panels are equipped with the InfoAlarm Command Center. The system is equipped with voice-evacuation, and is configured for two-stage operation. Each alarm sequence begins with the pre-announce chime twice, followed by a 20BPM 500Hz tone as the alert signal, with automated “Red Alert” announcements with each zone. The alarm signal is a temporal 500Hz beep.
The 4100ES was installed in 2012, replacing a Simplex 4100U (same sequence) which in turn replaced an Edwards 6500 MK II w/EVAC.

FACP Accessories

There is a Simplex 4100-1293 printer module for logging the alarm events.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are Edwards 965-1A-8SW speakers (square, ceiling-mount, 8”, 70V, set to ½ watt)
The stairwells and mechanical rooms have Edwards CSVT-77UCR re-entrant speakers (red, surface-mount, 70V, cone driver).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Edwards 270-GAO conventional two-stage pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

Most smoke detectors are Edwards 6250C conventional ionization smoke detectors.
There is one Simplex 2098-9110 conventional ionization smoke detector.
Some areas have Edwards 281C conventional fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors.
There are also some Edwards 241 conventional fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors left over from the previous system.
