The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the security office. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The alert signal coding is 20BPM, and the alarm signal coding is temporal.

Annunciators

There are Edwards ENVOY graphic annunciators at the main and rear entrances.

Booster Panels

There are Edwards BPS6AC 6-amp booster power supplies on the system.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are Mirtone 74306 vibrating bells (10" gong).
Some areas have Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10" gong) and Edwards MB10-24 motor bells (10" gong) as deficiency replacements.
Some bells are painted over.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout most areas.
There are EST SIGA-HRS addressable 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors in some areas.
All aforementioned detectors are mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.
There are EST SIGA-DH duct smoke detector housings equipped with EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric heads on all air handling units.

Modules
