St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital is a 209-bed acute care hospital located at 154 Lamerchant Rd, St. Johns, Newfoundland and Labrador. It is operated by Eastern Health since 2005. The building was built in 1939 as a 100 bed hospital by the Sisters of Mercy, and was expanded in 1950, 1958, 1962 and finally 1972. The fire alarm system was upgraded in 1989, with a panel replacement in 2012.
System Specifications (1989-present)
FACP
The building is protected by a Simplex 4100ES conventional fire alarm system. The system is a network of 3 panels, the main node is located in the switchboard office. The panels are equipped with the InfoAlarm Command Center. The system is equipped with voice-evacuation, and is configured for two-stage operation. Each alarm sequence begins with the pre-announce chime twice, followed by a 20BPM 500Hz tone as the alert signal, with automated “Red Alert” announcements with each zone. The alarm signal is a temporal 500Hz beep.
The 4100ES was installed in 2012, replacing a Simplex 4100U (same sequence) which in turn replaced an Edwards 6500 MK II w/EVAC.

There is a Simplex 4100-1293 printer module for logging the alarm events.
