FACP

The parkade is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main sprinkler room. The system runs EST’s Signature addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The messages and/or tones are unknown at this time, and the strobes are synchronized.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are from Edwards’ “Integrity” line of products.
The main parkade has Edwards 757-7A-SS70 speaker/strobes (red, wall-mount, 70V) mounted in groups of two throughout the parkade.
There are Edwards 757-1A-R70 remote speakers (red, wall-mount, 70V) for extra sound coverage in the parkade, mounted in the same method as above.
The corridors, stairwells and other areas have Edwards 757-7A-SS70W speaker/strobes (white, wall-mount, 70V).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations
