System Specifications

FACP: Edwards EST3

FACP Location: Multiple
System Type: Single-Stage Hybrid Addressable
System Line Voltage: 120VAC
NAC Voltage: 24VDC

System Coding: Temporal?

Strobes Synchronized: Yes, EST strobe plates only
Date of last known Upgrade: 2023
Year Opened: 1984, 2001, 2005

TELUS World of Science is a science centre in Edmonton, AB. It is located at 11211 142 St NW, near Coronation Park, Edmonton, AB. The facility was built in 1984 as Edmonton Space Science Centre, then it was expanded in 2001 as the Odyssium. In 2005, the name was changed to Telus World of Science. The fire alarm system is not original, however some notification appliances may be. The centre has many facilities, including an IMAX theatre.

System Specifications[edit | edit source]

Note: This is how the system looked as of July 2017, and is now undergoing an expansion, so the page may not reflect how the system looks today. However, as of this year, the system is still there.

FACP[edit | edit source]

The facility is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. There are many panels, and one has been spotted in the Discovery Gallery entrance. They were installed in 2012 as replacement panels for an older variant, which likely replaced an EST2. The system runs EST's Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is most likely temporal.

Annunciators[edit | edit source]

There is an EST 3-LCDANN annunciator at the entrance.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

The notification appliances mainly consist of General Signal MB10-24 motor bells on EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R strobe plates. They were installed in 2001, when it was expanded.

In an exhibit space, there are the mentioned bell/strobes, as well as an EST "Integrity" 202-5A-T remote strobe.

In some exhibit areas, there are Edwards MB10-24 motor bells, mostly seen on EST 403-5A-R strobe plates, although some are installed remotely.

In the IMAX theatre, there is an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell, and near the entrance of that theatre, there is an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell, with an Edwards 802-2B remote strobe next to it.

Near the DOW Computer Lab, there is a Potter MBA-624 motor bell, as a deficiency replacement.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

The pull stations are mostly Edwards 270-SPO conventional single action pull stations. There are also some EST SIGA-270 addressable pull stations, seen in the 2001 and 2005 expansions, and as deficiency replacements.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

None noticed.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

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