FACP: Siemens FireFinder XLS FACP Location: Electrical Room? System Type: Two-Stage Addressable System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VDC System Coding: 20BPM (Alert) Temporal (Alarm) Strobes Synchronized: Yes Date of last known Upgrade: N/A Year Opened: 2011

TELUS Spark Science Centre is a science museum located at 220 Saint George’s Drive Northeast, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The museum had 431,262 visitors in 2016. Opened in 2011, it is the newest science museum in Canada. The fire alarm system is original to the building.

System Specifications (2011-present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by a Siemens FireFinder XLS addressable fire alarm system. The panel is likely located in an electrical room. The system runs Siemens’ FirePrint addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. Alert signal coding is 20BPM, followed by temporal for the evacuation signal.

Annunciators[edit | edit source]

There is a Siemens SSD (System Status Display) annunciator in the main entrance vestibule.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All notification appliances are Siemens MTH-MC-W-B horn/strobes (white, wall-mount, bilingual lettering). These are set to the continuous horn tone, and are coded by the main FACP.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are Siemens HMS-2S addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are Siemens HFP-11 addressable multisensor smoke/heat detectors throughout the building.

Modules[edit | edit source]

There are Siemens XTRI-M addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

There are Siemens EL-300C end-of-line resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.

-'''TELUS Spark''' is a science museum in Calgary. It is located right of off St. George's Drive NE, close to the Calgary Zoo. This science center was built in 2011, replacing the original Telus World of Science located off of 11 St SW, in Downtown Calgary.  Despite being regarded as superior to TWOS, this center is noticeably smaller than the building it replaced. The science center's fire alarm system is original, no modifications since 2011.

-The fire alarm system is a two-stage Siemens FireFinder XLS. It is unknown where the panel is located as it is not visible, but the annunciator is at the front entrance.
-==== Notification Appliances ====
-All of the notification appliances are Siemens MTH-MC-W-B multi-tone horn/strobes. They are rebrands of the Wheelock MT-24MCW-FW. They are the only signal seen throughout the entire science center.
-=== Initiating Devices ===
-==== Pull Stations ====
-All pull stations are the same, they are Siemens HMS-2S (bilingual and two stage).
-==== Automatic Detection Devices ====
-All detectors are Siemens FirePrint FP-11 intelligent multi-sensor heat/smoke detectors.
