FACP
The building is protected by a Simplex 4100ES addressable fire alarm system. The panel is most likely in the Fire Command Center which is near the entrance, and was installed during construction. The system runs Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice-evacuation. The tones are unknown, but are most likely slow whoop with the default message.

There is a Simplex 4100ES Remote Command Center at the south entrance. It consists of a Simplex 4100-1292 panel-mounted LCD annunciator unit, a 4100-1244 microphone, and two 4100-1255 8-channel switches, in a 2-bay cabinet.
