System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm panel is an EST QuickStart QS4, as confirmed by an annunciator. It is guaranteed that it is original, due to the GE logo. The system is two-stage, according to the pull stations. The panel is not visible.
Annunciators
There is an EST QS4-CPU-1 annunciator, with two SL30 zone cards at the main entrance.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances are mainly Edwards MB10-24 motor bells on EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R strobe plates. In the fields, the bell/strobes have wire grills on them. In the feature gym, there are the mentioned bell/strobes on one side, and Mircom BL-10B motor bells on EST 403-5A-R strobe plates. Why the Mircom bells are there is unknown, but they are most likely original. In the community gym, there is one Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell on an EST 403-5A-R strobe plate, mixed in with the MB10-24 combos, also original. One of the MB10-24 bells has a green Skittles wrapper stuck to the striker.
