FACP: EST QuickStart QS4 FACP Location: Electrical Room System Type: Single-Stage Addressable System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VFWR System Coding: Continuous Strobes Synchronized: EST strobes only Date of last known Upgrade: 2013 Year Opened: 1985

Marlborough Station is a CTrain LRT station on the Blue Line. The station is located at 889 36 Street Northeast, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The station opened in 1985, and the fire alarm system was mostly upgraded in 2013. Parts range in age from the 1990s to the 2010s.

System Specifications (1990s-present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QS4 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main electrical room, labeled Room #4 in the service corridor. This system runs EST's Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is continuous.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

The notification appliances consist of:

A General Signal MB6-24 motor bell (6" gong) at the bottom of the stairs
A Wheelock MBS-G6-24 motor bell/strobe (6" gong, 1.5cd) at the top of the stairs
Two Edwards MB10-24 motor bells (10" gong) on EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd) at the entrance and in an inaccessible area.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are EST SIGA-270 addressable single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

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

EOLs[edit | edit source]

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

-'''Marlborough Station''' is a [[CTrain]] light rail station on the Blue Line. It is located near the neighborhood of Marlborough, NE Calgary. The station was built in 1985, but none of the fire alarm system is original. The fire panel seems to be from 2013, as there was construction there that year.

-The fire alarm panel is most likely an EST QuickStart QS1. It is unconfirmed because it's not visible, but the automatic detection devices suggest it. It was most likely installed in 2013.  This system runs on EST's Signature-series addressable protocol, and likely does code 3 in alarm.
