The '''University of Calgary''' is a public university in Calgary, and it has many interesting fire alarm systems. This page covers the '''Kinesiology B''' wing, which is right next to [[University of Calgary Kinesiology A|Kinesiology A]]. Same building, but different sections. This one, unlike [[University of Calgary Kinesiology A|Kinesiology A]], has a voice-evac system. This block was built in 1981, according to a plaque in the building. The fire alarm panel isn't original, but everything else is.

The fire alarm control panel is a Simplex 4100U that started out as an auxiliary panel for extra detectors in 2006. It was wired into and also replaced the original '''Simplex 2120'''. The 4100U was installed to cover extra detectors because they couldn't wire any more points to the 2120. The 4100U officially replaced the 2120 in 2019. The 2120 cabinet is now gutted, but it still remains.
