System Specifications (2009-present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by a Siemens FireFinder XLS addressable fire alarm system. There are numerous panels as part of a network; one node is in the main entrance vestibule. The system runs Siemens’ FirePrint addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice-evacuation. The system is configured for two-stage operation, however the tones and/or messages are unknown at this time. Live “Code Red” announcements are made by security in an alarm condition.
