System Specifications (2011-present)
FACP
The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main electrical room. The system runs EST’s Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The alert signal coding is 20BPM chime, followed by the evacuation signal, a 120BPM march time chime. The system also has voice-evac capabilities, and live "code red" announcements are made through the panel mic when alarms are activated.
Annunciators
There are EST 3-LCDANN LCD annunciators in the main entrance vestibule and in all nurses’ stations.
Notification Appliances
All notification appliances are EST “Genesis” G4RF-S7VM speaker/strobes (red, wall-mount, FIRE lettering, set to 15cd).
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All pull stations are EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout, and EST SIGA-HRS addressable rate-of-rise/fixed temperature heat detectors in some areas. All detectors are mounted on SIGA-SB bases. There are also EST SIGA-SD addressable photoelectric duct smoke detectors on air handling units. There are also dry and wet sprinkler systems with waterflow detection.
Modules
There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system’s tamper and flow switches. There are also EST SIGA-CR control relay modules for shutting down the air handling system in an alarm condition.
