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. (Edit 9/4/2021 Kinesiology A received a system upgrade, and is now voice evac.)  This block was built in 1981, according to a plaque in the building. The fire alarm panel is not original, but almost everything else is.  
The '''University of Calgary''' is a public university located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This page will cover the '''Kinesiology B''' building located at 376 Collegiate Blvd NW, Calgary, AB, which houses the Jack Simpson Gym, the gymnastics centre, and the climbing centre, along with several classrooms and a fitness centre. The building opened in 1981, and was expanded in 1987 to include the Jack Simpson Gym. Most of the fire alarm system was installed in 1987, with a panel replacement in 2019.

The fire alarm control panel is a Simplex 4100U that started out as an auxiliary panel for extra detectors. It was wired into and also replaced the original '''Simplex 2120'''. The 4100U was installed in 2006 to cover extra detectors because they could not 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. The panel is located at the front entrance.
The building is protected by a Simplex 4100U hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located at the northeast/MacEwan Student Centre entrance. The system runs Simplex's IDNet addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The system plays a whoop tone, followed by the default Simplex message.
==== Notification Appliances ====
The notification appliances are all original, they are mainly Simplex "LifeAlarm" 2902-9734 flush-mount speakers, seen throughout the whole building. The other notification appliances are Simplex "LifeAlarm" 2902-9732 surface mount speakers, also original. For outdoor notification, there are Simplex 2902-9732 speakers scattered outside the building, with one Simplex 2902-9711 re-entrant speaker outside one entrance, as a replacement. It appears to be from the late 1990s, according to the label style. There appears to be no visual alarms in this building.

The University of Calgary is a public university located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This page will cover the Kinesiology B building located at 376 Collegiate Blvd NW, Calgary, AB, which houses the Jack Simpson Gym, the gymnastics centre, and the climbing centre, along with several classrooms and a fitness centre.

The system runs Simplex's IDNet addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The system plays a whoop tone, followed by the default Simplex message.

The 4100U was originally installed in 2006 as an auxiliary panel for the previous Simplex 2120, and everything on the 2120 was moved to the 4100U in 2019.

The 2120 cabinet remains, however is gutted.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

Most areas have Simplex “LifeAlarm” 2902-9734 remote speakers (beige, flush-mount, 25V).

Areas with high ceilings, as well as exterior areas have SImplex 2902-9732 remote speakers (red, surface-mount, 25V).

Some areas have Simplex 2902-9711 re-entrant speakers (red, surface-mount, 25V) as deficiency replacements.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

The pull stations are a mix of Simplex 4251-20 conventional single-action pull stations and Simplex 2099-9901 conventional single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are Simplex 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors mounted on 4098-9792 bases.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

There are Simplex 2081-9018C end-of-line resistor plates on all conventional and signal circuits.

Voice Evac Message Script[edit | edit source]

Attention! Attention! Attention! An emergency has been reported! All occupants walk to the nearest stairway exit, and walk down to your assigned re-entry floor or main lobby. Do not use the elevator. Walk to the nearest stairway. Do not use the elevator. Walk to the nearest stairway.
