Panorama Springs Lodge is a condo building located at 2080 Summit Drive, in Panorama Mountain Resort, British Columbia. It features the Panorama Springs Pools. It was built in 1999, and has the original fire alarm system, with parts replaced as deficiencies occur.

System Specifications (1999-present)

FACP

The building is protected by an Edwards EST2 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in an electrical room in the underground parking garage. The system runs EST's Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is most likely temporal.

Annunciators

There is an EST 2-LSRA-C remote annunciator at the main entrance.

Booster Panels

There are multiple Edwards BPS6A 6-amp booster power supplies on the system.

Notification Appliances

All common area notification appliances except for one are General Signal MB10-24 motor bells (10" gong).

There is an Edwards MB10-24 motor bell (10" gong) in the pool hallway installed around 2014 as a deficiency replacement.

The units have General Signal 683-1C silenceable mini horns, and a few units also have EST "PowerSaver Integrity" 202-75PSW remote strobes (white, wall-mount, 75cd).

For exterior notification, there is a General Signal MB10-24 in the Panorama Springs Pools, mounted upside down under an overhang of the sauna.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are EST SIGA-270 addressable single-action pull stations. Most are original, but deficiency replacements of all generations starting with GE EST can be found scattered.

Automatic Detection Devices

All smoke detectors are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors. Most are original, and deficiency replacements of all generations can be found.

Some rooms have EST SIGA-HRS addressable 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors.

All detectors are mounted on SIGA-SB bases.

Modules

There are EST SIGA-WTM addressable modules supervising the building's sprinkler system flow and tamper switches.

There are EST SIGA-CR addressable relay modules serving various purposes.

EOLs

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

Bonus Information

The ground floor has a bell installed upside down, as well as the sauna. This is not a code violation, as the bells still output the required sound levels.

+'''Panorama Springs Lodge''' is a condo building located at 2080 Summit Drive, in Panorama Mountain Resort, British Columbia. It features the Panorama Springs Pools. It was built in 1999, and has the original fire alarm system, with parts replaced as deficiencies occur.

 ==== FACP ====
+The building is protected by an Edwards EST2 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in an electrical room in the underground parking garage. The system runs EST's Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is most likely temporal.
+===== Annunciators =====
+There is an EST 2-LSRA-C remote annunciator at the main entrance.
-The lodge is protected by an EST2 addressable fire alarm system. The remote annunciator is located in the front entrance, but the panel itself is not visible, it's located in an electrical room in the underground parking. Installed in 1999 when the lodge was built.
+===== Booster Panels =====
+There are multiple Edwards BPS6A 6-amp booster power supplies on the system.
 ==== Notification Appliances ====
+All common area notification appliances except for one are General Signal MB10-24 motor bells (10" gong).
+There is an Edwards MB10-24 motor bell (10" gong) in the pool hallway installed around 2014 as a deficiency replacement.
-The main notification appliances consist of General Signal MB10-24 motor bells that were installed in 1999, so original. There are a few that are vandalized or mounted weirdly, such as the main and 5th floors having an upside down one, and the one in the elevator room in the parking garage has part of its label missing. There are about 4 bells per floor. There are EST 683-1C silenceable mini horns branded by General Signal in the hallways of each unit. Some units have their mini-horns upside down. In the hallway to the pools, a General Signal bell failed sometime in the early-mid 2010s and was replaced with an Edwards MB10-24 motor bell. For outdoor notification at the Panorama Springs Pools, there is a General Signal MB10-24 mounted upside down under an overhang of the sauna.
+The units have General Signal 683-1C silenceable mini horns, and a few units also have EST "PowerSaver Integrity" 202-75PSW remote strobes (white, wall-mount, 75cd).

-==== Pull Stations ====
+==== Modules ====
+There are EST SIGA-WTM addressable modules supervising the building's sprinkler system flow and tamper switches.
-The main pull stations are Edwards 270A-SPO. For some reason, they are the late 1980s variants, so they are most likely new old stock, however there is one 1990s-2000s Edwards 270-SPO by the pool entrance. Some of the original pulls failed in around 2011-2013, and were replaced with EST (GE) SIGA-270 addressable pulls.
+There are EST SIGA-CR addressable relay modules serving various purposes.
-==== Automatic Detection Devices ====
+==== EOLs ====
+There are Edwards EOL-P1 end-of-line-resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.
-The smoke detectors are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, most original from 1999. Some were replaced with 2011-13 EST GE variants.
