	'''Northland Professional Centre''' is a 5-story low rise building mainly used for medical purposes such as dental or orthodontics. The building can be seen right off of Crowchild Trail NW. This building was built in 1978, but has had the current panel since 2012, and the current notification appliances since August 2017. The fire alarm system also has been rewired on the NACs~~. The system is currently serviced by AE Security~~.		'''Northland Professional Centre''' is a 5-story low rise building mainly used for medical purposes such as dental or orthodontics.

	The notification appliances are all from System Sensor's "SpectrAlert Advance" lineup. There are System Sensor P2RA (red, wall-mount) horn/strobes located throughout. For additional visual coverage, there are System Sensor SRA (red, wall-mount) remote strobes in some areas. These were installed in August 2017 in new locations, because the original bells were not loud enough (there was only one bell per floor.) Since then the horn/strobes have been installed in the offices themselves. They are usually set on 30 cd, but there is one on 110cd. For outdoor notification, there is a System Sensor SRKA strobe outside the entrance. The permit issued for this replacement was "Fire alarm upgrade (horns and strobe)"		The notification appliances are all from System Sensor's "SpectrAlert Advance" lineup.

	==== Notification Appliances ====		==== Notification Appliances ====
	All notification appliances are from System Sensor's "SpectrAlert Advance" line of products, and were installed in 2017. The main notification appliances are System Sensor P2RA horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 2-wire, most set to 30cd), and are even installed in offices. There are also System Sensor SR remote strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 30cd) in areas needing more visual coverage. These were installed in new locations, as the bells were not loud enough; there was only one bell per floor.

	For outdoor notification, there is a System Sensor SRKA (red, wall-mount, set to 75cd) weatherproof strobe outside the entrance. The notification appliances are possibly synchronized via a System Sensor MDL.
