System Specifications

FACP: EST QuickStart QS1 FACP Location: Gym Data Room System Type: Single-Stage Addressable System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VFWR System Coding: Temporal Strobes Synchronized: No Date of last known Upgrade: N/A Year Opened: 2006

Chaparral School is an elementary school located at 480 Chaparral Drive SE, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building is owned and operated by the Calgary Board of Education. This school has 12 classrooms, but has been expanded with 8 portable classrooms added on. The building was built in 2006, and the fire alarm system is original.

System Specifications[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QS1 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the gymnasium data room. The system runs EST's Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Annunciators[edit | edit source]

There is an EST QSA-1-S annunciator in the main entrance vestibule.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All indoor notification appliances are EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no lettering).

For outdoor notification, there is an Edwards "Integrity" 757-5A-T horn/strobe (red, wall-mount, 15cd) outside the main entrance. This horn/strobe is being used as a remote strobe, and the horn is disconnected.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are EST SIGA-278 addressable dual-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building, mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.

The 8 portable classrooms have Edwards 281B-PL mechanical fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors in them, likely wired to SIGA-CT1 addressable modules.

Modules[edit | edit source]

There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

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

-'''Chaparral School''' is an elementary school located in the neighborhood of Chaparral, SE. It is part of the Calgary Board of Education. This school has 12 classrooms, but has been expanded with 8 portable classrooms added on. It has a capacity for 400 students, but is well over capacity at the time. The school was built in 2006 and has its original fire alarm system.
 == System Specifications ==
 ==== FACP ====
-The fire alarm control panel is an EST QuickStart QS1, original to the school from 2006. There is an annunciator at the front entrance, but the main panel is not visible; it's in the gymnasium data room.

 ==== Notification Appliances ====
-All of the indoor notification appliances are EST Genesis G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE marking) horn/strobes throughout, all original from 2006. Outside the entrance, there is an EST Integrity 757-7A-T horn/strobe, but it has a Genesis horn behind it, and not the regular integrity horn surprisingly. The strobe is still functional despite the different horn. This was probably done because the building owner may have requested the same sound of the alarm inside, but there was no weatherproof Genesis devices at the time, so they had no other choice but to do that.
