System Specifications

FACP

The fire alarm panel is an EST2, as confirmed by an annunciator. The panel itself is not visible, it is located in an electrical room in the underground parking. It is original.

Annunciators

There is an EST 2-LSRA-C remote annunciator at the main entrance.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances mainly consist of the original General Signal MB10-24/MB74330 motor bells. There are a few that are vandalized or mounted weirdly, such as the 1st and 5th floors having an upside down one, and the one in the elevator room in the parking garage has part of its label missing. There are about 4 bells per floor. There are General Signal-branded EST 683-1C silenceable mini horns in the hallways of each unit. Some units have their mini-horns upside down. The mini-horns are original as well. In the hallway to the entrance beside the pools, there is an Edwards MB10-24 motor bell which replaced an original General Signal bell that failed in the early 2010s. For outdoor notification at the Panorama Springs Pools, there is a General Signal MB10-24 mounted upside down under an overhang of the sauna. It is unknown how it got wired there.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations are mainly Edwards 270A-SPO pull stations (conventional, different handle font). There is one 1990s-2000s Edwards 270-SPO at the doors to the entrance to near the pool which may be original. Some of the original pull stations failed in around 2011-2013, and were replaced with EST (GE) SIGA-270 addressable pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

The smoke detectors are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, most of them are original. Some were replaced with 2011-13 EST GE variants after the original ones failed.
