Cochrane High School is a large high school located at 529 4th Ave N, Cochrane, Alberta, Canada. The school was originally built in 1962, and has been expanded several times: 1966, 1970, 1972 and 1985, with a second floor being added in 1991, and finally a modernization in 1996. Portables were installed in 1990 and 1992. The fire alarm system was most recently upgraded in 2015.
System Specifications (2015-present)[edit | edit source]
FACP[edit | edit source]
The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in an electrical room. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is likely temporal.
Annunciators[edit | edit source]
There is an Edwards EST3-LCDANN LCD annunciator in the lobby, with an LCDXL1 display.
Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]
All notification appliances except for one are Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6” gong), installed in 1991 or 1996 depending on the area; these are also in the portables.
Approximately 70% of bells are mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd), which were added in 1996. The remaining bells are mostly installed remotely, most behind metal grills.
There is an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (10” gong) located in a small hallway leading to the gymnasium.
For outdoor notification, there are Edwards 439D-6AWC bells located on each side.
Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]
Pull Stations[edit | edit source]
All pull stations in the main building are EST SIGA-270 addressable single-action pull stations.
The portables have Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]
There are EST SIGA2-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building.
Some areas have Edwards SIGA-PD addressable photoelectric smoke detectors as deficiency replacements.
All aforementioned detectors are mounted on SIGA-SB bases.
The portables have Edwards EC20RRU-3 conventional 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors. These replaced Edwards 281B-PL heat detectors due to a recall.
The art room and south facing wall of the library are also protected by a sprinkler system, added in 1985.
Modules[edit | edit source]
There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising the south facing wall of the library and art room's sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.
There are EST SIGA-CR addressable relay modules serving various purposes.
EOLs[edit | edit source]
There are Edwards EOL-P1 end of line resistor plates on all conventional zones, and all sprinkler and signal circuits.
Former System Specifications (1991-2015)[edit | edit source]
| System Specifications |
|---|
| FACP: Edwards Custom 6500 FACP Location: Electrical Room 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: 1991 Year Decomissioned: 2015 |
FACP[edit | edit source]
The building was protected by an Edwards Custom 6500 conventional fire alarm system. The panel was located in the electrical room. The system coding was continuous.
Annunciators[edit | edit source]
There was an Edwards 456 annunciator at the main entrance.
Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]
All notification appliances except for one were Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6” gong), installed in 1985 and 1991 depending on the area; these are also in the portables.
Approximately 70% of bells are mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd), which were added in 1996. The remaining bells are mostly installed remotely, most behind metal grills.
There is an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (10” gong) located in a small hallway leading to the gymnasium.
For outdoor notification, there are Edwards 439D-6AWC bells located on each side.
All of these devices are still in use on the current system.
Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]
Pull Stations[edit | edit source]
All pull stations were Edwards 270-SPO conventional pull stations. The ones in the portables remained.
Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]
There were Edwards 6250C conventional ionization smoke detectors throughout the school.
The portables had Edwards 281C conventional 135-degree fixed temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors. These remained until being recalled in 2020.
There was also a sprinkler system covering the art room and south end of the library.
EOLs[edit | edit source]
There were Edwards EOL-P1 end of line resistor plates on all circuits.
