Monsignor A. J. Hetherington School is a catholic elementary school located at 4 Coral Springs Blvd NE, Calgary, AB. It is part of the Calgary Catholic School District, teaches grades K-6 and has an enrollment of about 300 students. It was built in 1994, and the fire alarm system was upgraded in 2012; the pull stations are original.

System Specifications (2012-present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QSC conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located in the caretaker’s office. The system coding is temporal.

Annunciators[edit | edit source]

There is an EST QSA-1-S cabinet with a QSC-CPU-1 LCD annunciator and SL30 LED 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, set to 15cd).
For exterior notification, there are EST “Integrity” 757-8A-T horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 110cd).

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are the original Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are Edwards EC30U-3 conventional photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building.
There are Edwards EC20RRU-3 fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors in some areas; these replaced Edwards 281C fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors after being recalled.
There are also Edwards 6266C-001 photoelectric duct smoke detectors in 6260B housings, located throughout the building behind the ceiling tiles, wired to 6262B-001 test stations/alarm indicators.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

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

Former System Specifications (1994-2012)[edit | edit source]

FACP: EST ESA2000
FACP Location: Caretaker’s Office
System Type: Single-Stage Conventional
System Line Voltage: 120VAC
NAC Voltage: 24VDC
System Coding: Continuous
Strobes Synchronized: No
Date of last known Upgrade: N/A
Year Installed: 1994
Year Decommissioned: 2012


FACP[edit | edit source]

The building was protected by an EST ESA2000 conventional fire alarm system. The panel was located in the caretaker’s office. The system coding was continuous.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

Most notification appliances were Wheelock MBS-G6-24 motor bell/strobes (6” gong, 1.5cd).
The gymnasium had Wheelock MBS-G10-24 motor bell/strobes (10” gong, 1.5cd) due to higher ambient noise levels.
For exterior notification, there were Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6” gong).

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations were Edwards 270-SPO conventional pull stations, these are still in service.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There were Edwards 6250C conventional ionization smoke detectors throughout the building.

There were Edwards 281C fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors in some areas, these remained on the current system until 2020.

There were also Edwards 6266C-001 photoelectric duct smoke detectors in 6260B housings, located throughout the building behind the ceiling tiles, wired up to 6262B-001 test stations/alarm indicators, these remain.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

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