Centre 15 is a midrise office building located at 1509 Centre Street South, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building opened in 1982, and the fire alarm system is partially original.

System Specifications (2000s-present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the ground floor elevator lobby. The system is fully conventional except for the smoke detectors. The addressable portion of the system runs Mircom’s CLIP addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal. This panel was installed in the 2000s replacing a Pyrotronics System 3.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All areas except the main lobby have Faraday 3560 vibrating bells (10” gong). The main lobby has Simplex 2901-9723 motor bells (6” gong), installed in the 2010s.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations except one are Pyr-A-Larm MS-51 conventional single-action pull stations. There is one Notifier NFM-950B conventional single-action pull station on the second floor, installed in the late 1980s as a deficiency replacement.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are Mircom MIX-2251B addressable photoelectric smoke detectors in the elevator shafts mounted on System Sensor B210LPA low-profile bases. These were installed for elevator recall.

Bonus Information[edit | edit source]

Some bells are mounted upside-down. This is not a code violation, as the bells still output the required sound levels. [[]
