System Specifications
Panel
The panel is an Kidde VS4, installed in the 2010s. It most likely replaced an EST 6616 from the 1990s. The system has all strobes synchronized, and all horns doing code-3.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances inside were installed July 2019. They are EST Genesis GC-HDVM (white, ceiling, no FIRE marking) horn/strobes set on low volume, replacing G1R-HDVM horn/strobes. However, some EST Genesis G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes remain in the gymnasium and shop. Outside, there is an EST Integrity CS405-8A-T strobe by the entrance. There were originally two, but one of them was removed in 2019. There are a few EST WG4RN-HVMC (red, no FIRE) horn/strobes for outdoor notification as well.
Initiating Devices
The pull stations are all Edwards 270-SPO, but from different eras. Most are from the early 1990s, some from the mid 1990s, one newer GE branded 270, and a couple from 1970s-80s with the old E logo. There may also be a 270-SPO from 1957.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are EST SIGA2-PS smoke detectors throughout, from the 2010s when the Kidde was installed. Heat detectors are unknown at this time.
