The Vulcan Community Health Centre is a hospital and medical centre located at 610 Elizabeth Street, in Vulcan, Alberta, Canada. The facility is owned and operated by Alberta Health Services. The building was built in 1984, and was expanded in 2021. The fire alarm system was upgraded in about 2017, and all devices in the expansion are original.
System Specifications (2017-present)[edit | edit source]
FACP[edit | edit source]
The building is protected by an Edwards EST3X addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main electrical room in the basement. The system runs Edwards’ Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The alert coding is 20BPM, and the alarm coding is temporal.
Annunciators[edit | edit source]
There are Edwards EST3-6ANN annunciators in the main entrance vestibule and at the main nurse’s station, equipped with LCDXL1 displays.
Booster Panels[edit | edit source]
There is an Edwards BPS6A booster power supply in the main FACP cabinet.
Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]
All notification appliances are Edwards “Genesis” G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no marking, set to 15cd); some are mounted on Edwards G1TR trim plates.
Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]
Pull Stations[edit | edit source]
All pull stations but one are EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.
The outside storage room has an Edwards 270-GAO conventional two-stage single-action pull station, wired to an EST SIGA-CT2 addressable dual-input monitor module.
Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]
There are EST SIGA2-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building, mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases with SIGA-TS trim rings.
There are EST “SuperDuct” SIGA-SD addressable photoelectric duct smoke detectors on all air handling units, with EST SIGA-LED remote indicators mounted in visible locations near the detectors.
The gas meter room has an FDD CR-135-EWP conventional explosion-proof 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detector, wired to an EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor module.
Modules[edit | edit source]
There are EST SIGA-CT2 addressable dual-input monitor modules supervising the generator run/trouble contacts, and the sprinkler system’s tamper and flow switches.
There is an EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor module supervising the kitchen suppression system.
There are EST SIGA-CR addressable relay modules serving various purposes.
There are EST SIGA-IM addressable isolator modules on all SLCs.
EOLs[edit | edit source]
