The Kildare is a 2 story walkup + basement apartment building located in at 740 15 Ave SW, Calgary, AB. It was built in 1959, and the fire alarm system was installed in the early 1970s.

System Specifications[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The complex is protected by a 3-wire, 120V Hardwired fire alarm system, meaning that there is no panel therefore the system coding is continuous.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

The notification appliances consist of Edwards "Durabel" 6000D (6" gong) 120VAC vibrating bells.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

The pull stations are mostly Edwards 270-SPO single action pull stations, with one Edwards 270-GAO two-stage pull station, which was likely in the truck at the time of installation despite not being two-stage.

There is also a newer Mircom MS-401 likely installed sometime in the 2000s as a deficiency replacement.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

As with most 120VAC apartment systems, this one has American Sensor ESA5011 120V hardwired smoke detectors with an internal relay.
