System Specifications (2000s-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Simplex 4100U addressable fire alarm system. The panel locations are mostly unknown although there is one node by the parkade tunnel. This system is networked, and runs Simplex's IDNet addressable protocol. The system is equipped with voice evacuation, and is configured for two-stage operation. The messages and/or tones are unknown at this time.

Notification Appliances

Departures Hall

The audible notification appliances are a mix of Simplex 2902-9311 remote speakers (white, ceiling-mount, 8") and Simplex 2902-9313 remote speakers (white, wall-mount, 4"). The visual notification appliances are a mix of Wheelock RSS-24MCW-FR remote strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd) and Wheelock RSS-24MCC-FW remote strobes (white, ceiling-mount, set to 15cd); both are ceiling-mounted.

Atrium
