System Specifications (2001-present)
FACP
The building is protected by a Simplex 4120 addressable fire alarm system. The main panel is not visible, and is located in an electrical or mechanical room. It was installed in 2001, and is not networked to any of the other buildings on campus. The system runs Simplex’s MAPNET II addressable protocol, the system coding is temporal for all Simplex devices, and continuous for the exterior devices.
Annunciators
There is a Simplex 4603-9101 LCD annunciator at the entrance.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances are mostly Simplex “TrueAlert” 4903-9417 (red, wall-mount, 15cd) horn/strobes. Depending on the area, there can be Simplex 4903-9418 horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 75cd) or 4903-9419 (red, wall-mount, 110cd) horn/strobes, as the candela rating varies throughout. The bathrooms and in places where more visual coverage is needed contain Simplex “TrueAlert” 4903-9331 (red, wall-mount, 15cd) remote strobes, and some 4904-9332 (red, wall-mount, 75cd) and 4904-9333 (red, wall-mount, 110cd) remote strobes, depending on the area.
For outdoor notification, there are Wheelock MT-24-WM multi-tone weatherproof horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 117cd), set to continuous horn. There appears to be no replacement horn/strobes outside.
