System Specifications (2000/2012-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Siemens FireFinder XLS addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main electrical room, directly across from the women's pool locker room. The system runs Siemens' FirePrint addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The alert coding is 20BPM, and the alarm coding is temporal.

The FireFinder XLS replaced the original Cerberus Pyrotronics MXL in 2012.
