System Specifications
FACP: Simplex 4100U FACP Location: Electrical Room System Type: Hybrid-Addressable System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VDC (audibles and strobes) 120VAC (light plates) System Coding: Temporal (audibles) 120BPM March Time (120VAC lights) Strobes Synchronized: No Date of last known Upgrade: 2000s Year Decommissioned: 2020

FACP

The building was protected by a Simplex 4100U hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel was located in the electrical room. It was installed in a Simplex 4100+ cabinet; the 4100U replaced that in the 2000s, which in turn replaced the original Simplex 4208. The system ran Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and the system coding was temporal for all horns, and 120BPM march time for all light plates. The system was replaced due to failing inspection and not meeting code.

Annunciators

There was an original Simplex annunciator in the lobby, model unknown.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances were Simplex 4901-9817 mechanical horns (red) on the original Simplex 4040-6 incandescent light plates (single bulb). Some of the light plates burnt out, the 4901-9817 horns were installed with the 4100+.

There were six original Simplex 4041 horns on the aforementioned light plates in the school; these light plates were non functional, and the one in the gymnasium was missing its lens.

There were some Simplex 4901-9822 electronic horns (red) on the aforementioned light plates as deficiency replacements; most of these light plates were still working.
There were original Simplex 4041 horns on Simplex 4903-9501 incandescent light plates found in the upper gym, locker rooms and B3; the light plates were deficiency replacements, none of them were functional at the time of documenting.

In B2, there was a Simplex 4901-9822 horn on a 4903-9501 light plate, both installed as deficiency replacements (light was not working). The larger gym had a Simplex 4051 horn as a deficiency replacement; the 4040-6 light plate remained.
There are also Simplex 4903-9252 horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, vertical, 15cd) located throughout, installed with the 4100+; these were also deficiency replacements, one in the upper gym installed sideways, and one in a hallway also installed on a 4040-60 light plate.

There was a Simplex 4903-9238 horn/strobe (red, wall-mount, vertical, 110cd) by the small stairwell.
The cafeteria had a Wheelock NS-241575W horn/strobe (red, wall-mount, 15/75cd), and the library had a Wheelock 7002T-24 horn/strobe (red, wall-mount, 0.82cd). Both were installed as deficiency replacements.
The classrooms near the small stairwell contained Simplex 4904-9137 remote strobes (red, wall-mount, vertical, 15cd).
For outdoor notification, there were Simplex 4041 horns.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Most pull stations were Simplex 2099-9756 conventional dual-action pull stations, installed with the 4100+.

There were some original Simplex 4251-20 conventional single-action pull stations scattered.

There was an FCI MS-2 conventional dual-action pull station in A2 as a deficiency replacement.

There was also an ADT 5050-001 conventional dual-action pull station in the upper gym as a deficiency replacement. Most of these pull stations were mounted too high.

Automatic Detection Devices

Most smoke detectors were Simplex 4098-9601 conventional photoelectric smoke detectors, mounted on 4098-9788 bases. These were installed with the 4100U.

There were also Simplex 2098-9209 conventional photoelectric smoke detectors installed with the 4100+, as well as one Simplex 2098-9576 ionization smoke detector.

There were also Simplex 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors mounted on 4098-9792 bases in some areas.

Most heat detectors were the original Simplex 4255-1 rate-of-rise/fixed heat detectors.

There was one Edwards 281B-PL fixed-temperature heat detector as a deficiency replacement.
