System Specifications (2007-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Simplex 4100U addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown at this time, but was confirmed through a building report. The system runs Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The first-stage signal is 20BPM, followed by temporal in general alarm. The panel also has a Simplex 4009 IDNet NAC booster. The 4100U most likely replaced an Edwards ESA2000 in 2007.
