FACP

The building is protected by an EST iO500 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the second floor data room (Room #200). The system runs EST's Signature-series addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Annunciator

There is an EST RLCD-C LCD annunciator paired with an EST RLED-24 annunciator in the main entrance vestibule. Both annunciators are mounted in an Edwards RA-ENC2 2-bay annunciator enclosure.

Notification Appliances

All corridors plus the gym, wood shop, music room and aux gym have EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no lettering, set to 15cd). The classrooms have EST G1R-HD remote horns (red, wall-mount, no lettering). All student washrooms but one have EST G1R-VM remote strobes (red, wall-mount, no lettering, set to 15cd). The second floor men's washroom has an EST G1RF-VM remote strobe (red, wall-mount, FIRE marking, set to 15cd).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Most pull stations are EST SIGA-270 addressable single-action pull stations. The gyms, boiler rooms and wood shop have Edwards MPSR1-SHTW hazardous-location conventional single-action pull stations, wired to EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors located throughout the school, as well as an EST SIGA-HFS addressable fixed-temperature heat detector in the cafeteria kitchen. All detectors are mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.
