FACP

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The system is networked with many nodes throughout the building; the main node is likely located in a CACF room. The system runs Edwards’ Signature-series addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The system is configured for two-stage operation, however the messages and/or tones are unknown at this time.
