| FACP: IBM 4201-2 FACP Location: Electrical Room? System Type: Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 125VDC System Coding: 4-4 Strobes Synchronized: N/A Date of last known Upgrade: 1960s? Year Installed: 1940s Year Decommissioned: 2003 |
FACP[edit | edit source]
The building was protected by an IBM 4201-2 conventional fire alarm system. The panel was located in an electrical room. The system coding was 4-4.
Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]
All notification appliances are IBM RVF-4015-6A vibrating bells (6” gong). As these also doubled as the class change bells, they were single-stroke bells due to DC power. These were used during the final few years of the school.
Prior to that, the notification appliances were IBM R4026-8 single-stroke bells (8" gong). It is unknown why they were disconnected in the 1990s.
Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]
Pull Stations[edit | edit source]
All pull stations were IBM 4050 break-glass pull stations.
