System Specifications (2008-present)

FACP

The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QS4 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the automotive entrance vestibule. The system runs EST’s Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

The panel was installed around 2013, replacing the original variant after CPU issues.

Notification Appliances

All indoor notification appliances are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10” gong) on EST 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd).

The garden centre and exterior of the building have Edwards MB6-24 motor bells (6” gong) with EST CS405-7A-T weatherproof remote strobes (red, wall-mount, 15/75cd) mounted below them. The outdoor bells were installed in 2020, replacing Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6” gong) for unknown reasons.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Automatic Detection Devices
