Twentytwo22's Garage (Old System)

From FireAlarmPedia

Note: This page is being heavily edited due to the fire alarm system currently getting installed in a new house.

The original Twentytwo22's Garage was a small residential garage in Sundance, built in 1994. The system was owned by User:Twentytwo22 As of September 1st, 2020 Twentytwo22 has moved to a location in Glenbrook.
The new garage was built in 1966 and plans to add period specific Initiating Devices (except automatic detection) and Notification Appliances are considered.

System Specifications

  • Note: The system is currently getting installed, so it is not complete.

FACP

The fire alarm panel is an EST QuickStart QSC (conventional) with the PS6 power supply card and one ZB16 card. The system will be upgraded to an addressable QuickStart QS1 in February 2021 due to the failure of the QSC CPU and a QS1 CPU being the only replacement available. Therefore the ZB16 will be replaced with a SLIC and monitor modules.
Most of the zones were unused and simply have a resistor across them due to the small size of the garage. The panel was transferred over from the old garage. The panel will be setup as a timed two-stage system. In first stage the panel will do 20bpm (slow march) and 120bpm March time in general alarm.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances consist of an Edwards 438D-6NC5 120VAC vibrating bell (from 7044 Ogden Road SE) (see below circuit) on a Wheelock RSSP-2415W strobe plate in the garage, an Edwards "Durabel" 6100D vibrating bell (6" gong, pre-1970s) and an EST "Genesis LED" G1-AVRF (red, fire marking) LED horn/strobe (horn disabled, so basically a "remote strobe") in the attic. Twentytwo22 has plans install a Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bell, and three Wheelock "Exceder" STWC (white, ceiling) remote strobes.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Currently, there is is a Fire-Lite BG-12L (keylock) at the man-door. (A section of drywall directly above the BG-12L was temporarily removed to aid in running wires), an Edwards 274-111 at the overhead door, and a vintage Edwards 270-SPO will be installed in the attic. (both salvaged from 7044 Ogden Road SE)

Automatic Detection Devices

There is one automatic detection device, a System Sensor C4W-B (i3) smoke detector.

System Specifications (Original Garage)

FACP

The fire alarm panel was an EST Quickstart QSC (conventional) with the PS6 power supply card and one ZB16 card. Most of the Zones were unused and simply have a resistor across them due to the small size of the garage. Now in use on the new garage.

Notification Appliances

The two notification appliances were a Simplex 2901-9722 10" motor bell installed to accommodate owner preference and one EST Genesis G1-VM (white, no fire marking) remote strobe. The 2901-9722 was previously used in a school, and is still in use on the new garage. Formerly, there was a Gentex "Commander 3" GEC3-24WR (red, wall) horn/strobe.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations consisted of one Chinese Pull Station, one Fire-Lite BG-12L and one GE-branded Edwards 270-SPO.

Automatic Detection Devices

There was one automatic detection device, a System Sensor C4W-B (i3) smoke detector that replaced a two wire equivalent. (C2W-BA)
