The '''John J Bowlen Building''' is an Alberta government building located at 620 7 Ave SW, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building is operated by Edon management. The building was built in 1967, and the fire alarm system was upgraded in 2011.

==System Specifications (2011-present)==
====FACP====
The building is protected by a Notifier NOTI-FIRE-NET networked fire alarm system. There are 4 nodes on this system; all are Notifier NFS2-640C addressable fire alarm panels. Node 1 is located in the CACF room on the main floor and is equipped with an NCA-2C display. Nodes 2 through 4 are located in the north storage rooms on floors 3, 6 and 9 respectively. The system runs Notifier’s FlashScan addressable protocol, is configured for two-stage operation, and is equipped with Notifier’s “Digital Voice Command” (DVC) voice evacuation system. The alert signal is a 20BPM tone followed by a standby message, and the alarm signal is a temporal tone followed by an evacuation message. See below for message scripts.

====Notification Appliances====
Most notification appliances are System Sensor “SpectrAlert Advance” SPSCWA speaker/strobes (white, ceiling-mount, set to 70V/15cd). Some areas have System Sensor SPCWA remote speakers (white, ceiling-mount, set to 70V). Some areas, such as the parkade area, have System Sensor SPSRA speaker/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 70V/15cd). The stairwells have System Sensor SPWA remote speakers (white, wall-mount, set to 70V). Some areas have System Sensor SWA remote strobes (white, wall-mount, set to 15cd).

===Initiating Devices===
====Pull Stations====
All pull stations are Notifier N-MPS-2A addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.

====Automatic Detection Devices====
There are Notifier FSP-851A addressable photoelectric smoke detectors in most areas. There are Notifier FST-851RA addressable 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors in some kitchens and storage rooms, and in the loading dock. There are Notifier FST-851A addressable 135°F fixed-temperature heat detectors in the mechanical room. All aforementioned detectors are mounted on System Sensor B210LPA bases. There are System Sensor DNRA duct smoke detector housings with Notifier FSP-851A addressable photoelectric heads on all air handling units. There is an FDD CR-135-EWP conventional explosion-proof 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detector in the gas meter room, wired to a Notifier FMM-101A addressable monitor module.

====Modules====
There are Notifier FMM-1A addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system’s tamper and flow switches. There are Notifier FRM-1A addressable relay modules serving various purposes. There are Notifier FTM-1A addressable control modules on all fire phones. There is a Notifier FCM-1A addressable control module controlling a pre-action solenoid. There are Notifier ISO-XA isolator modules on all SLCs.

====Firefighter’s Telephones====
There are Notifier FT-300N firefighter’s telephones at each stairwell on each floor.

====EOLs====
There are Notifier EOL-CR end of line resistor plates on all sprinkler, signal, fire phone and conventional circuits.
