System Specifications (2008-present)
FACP
The hospital is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. There are approximately 50 panels in the building, and all are located in electrical rooms. The system is controlled via an EST FireWorks computer, located in the CACF room. The system runs EST’s Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The system is also equipped with voice evacuation. The system does a 20BPM bell tone in first stage, followed by code 3 in general alarm. Each alarm is followed by a “CODE RED” announcement, which is broadcast live by security.
Annunciators
There are Edwards EST 3-LCDANN annunciators in every elevator lobby and at every nurses’ station.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances are from EST’s “Integrity” line of products. All indoor notification appliances are Edwards 964-1A-8RW speakers (white, ceiling-mount, 8”, 70V). They appear to be original in each expansion. There are no strobes indoors. For outdoor notification, there is an Edwards CS405-8A-T weatherproof remote strobe (red, wall-mount, 110cd) located outside the main entrance vestibule.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All pull stations are EST SIGA-270P addressable dual-stage single-action pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the hospital. Some areas have EST SIGA-HRS addressable fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors. All detectors are mounted on EST SIGA-SB detector bases.
Bonus Information
The fire alarm panel also doubles as the general public address system, connected to the Nortel Meridian PBX. When paging is turned on, it will come from the fire alarm speakers.
