System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by a Simplex 4100ES addressable fire alarm system. This is a networked system with many panels, however the main nodes are located in the CACF room, accessible via an exterior door on the north side of the building. The system runs Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The system is configured for two-stage operation, however the messages and/or tones are unknown at this time.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are Simplex “TrueAlert” 4906-9154 speaker/strobes (white, ceiling-mount, set to 70V/15cd). These are custom painted black in most areas. For outdoor notification, there is a Simplex 4906-9105 weatherproof remote strobe (red, wall-mount) outside the CACF room.
