FACP: Notifier NFS2-640C FACP Location: Lobby System Type: Single-Stage Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VDC System Coding: Temporal Strobes Synchronized: Wheelock Only Date of last known Upgrade: 2021 Year Opened: 1996

Canmore Inn & Suites is a 3-star hotel located at 1402 Bow Valley Trail, in Canmore, Alberta, Canada. It was built in 1996 as Ramada, and became Canmore Inn & Suites in 2017. A partial fire alarm upgrade involving replacement of some notification appliances and the main FACP occurred in 2021.

System Specifications (2021 present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by a Notifier NFS2-640C conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located in the lobby, and is equipped with the NCA-2 display. The system coding is temporal.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All common area notification appliances are System Sensor "L-Series" HRLA remote horns (red, wall-mount) mounted on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plates (red, set to 15cd).

All guest rooms have EST 692-3A-103 mini-horn/strobes (white, wall-mount, 30cd).

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are Edwards 270-SPO conventional pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are System Sensor C2W-BA conventional photoelectric smoke detectors throughout all common areas.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

There are Edwards EOL-P1 end of line resistor plates on all initiating and signal circuits.

Former System Specifications (1996-2021)[edit | edit source]

System Specifications

FACP: Simplex 4100U
FACP Location: Lobby
System Type: Single-Stage Conventional
System Line Voltage: 120VAC
NAC Voltage: 24VDC

System Coding: Continuous?

Strobes Synchronized: No
Date of last known Upgrade: 2000s
Year Decomissioned: 2021

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building was protected by a Simplex 4100U conventional fire alarm system. The panel was located in the lobby, and had a 3 bay cabinet; it replaced the original EST ESA2000 around 2005. The system coding was likely continuous.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All common area notification appliances were Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong) mounted on EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R strobe plates (red, 15cd).

The workout room had the aforementioned bell installed remotely.

The pool area had an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (10" gong) mounted on an EST 403-5A-R strobe plate, due to higher ambient noise levels.

The guest rooms had EST 692-3A-103 mini-horn/strobes (white, 30cd), these are still in service.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations were Edwards 270-SPO conventional pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There were System Sensor C2W-BA conventional photoelectric smoke detectors throughout all common areas.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

There were Edwards EOL-P1 end of line resistor plates on all initiating and signal circuits.

+The building was protected by a Simplex 4100U conventional fire alarm system. The panel was located in the lobby, and had a 3 bay cabinet; it replaced the original EST ESA2000 around 2005. The system coding was likely continuous.
-The fire alarm control panel is a Simplex 4100U, installed somewhere around 2005-2010, most likely replacing an EST ESA2000 or 6632 from 1996. Despite the 4100U being addressable, it is set up in a non-addressable manner. The panel is located behind the front desk.
+====Notification Appliances====
+All common area notification appliances were Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong) mounted on EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R strobe plates (red, 15cd).
-==== Notification Appliances ====
-The notification appliances seen throughout the hotel's lobby and hallways are Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells on EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R strobe plates. The pool area has an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell on an EST 403-5A-R strobe plate, due to louder ambient noise levels. The rooms have EST 692-5A-103 mini-horn/strobes. The workout room has an upside down Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bell with no strobe plate. All of the notification appliances were left over from the EST system.
-=== Initiating Devices ===
-==== Pull Stations ====
-All of the pull stations are Edwards 270-SPO from 1996, left over from the EST system.
+The workout room had the aforementioned bell installed remotely.
-==== Automatic Detection Devices ====
+The pool area had an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (10" gong) mounted on an EST 403-5A-R strobe plate, due to higher ambient noise levels.
-The smoke detectors are all System Sensor C2W-BA photoelectric i3 smoke detectors. There were most likely Edwards 6264B smoke detectors before the Simplex system.
+The guest rooms had EST 692-3A-103 mini-horn/strobes (white, 30cd), these are still in service.
