The BMO Centre is a large convention centre located at 20 Roundup Way SE, Calgary, AB. It is located on the grounds of Stampede Park. The building hosts many events, such as car shows and other expos. The building originally opened in 1981, and was expanded in 2009. The building is currently undergoing a massive expansion, which caused Hall A to be demolished. The fire alarm system was upgraded around 2003, and is currently undergoing an upgrade.

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building was protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel location was unknown. The system ran EST’s Signature addressable protocol, and was configured for two-stage operation. The alert signal coding is 20BPM in first stage, followed by temporal in alarm

The EST3 was installed in 2013, replacing an Edwards EST2 that was water-damaged from the floods.

Annunciators[edit | edit source]

There was an Edwards EST3-LCDANN annunciator in the now-demolished Hall A entrance vestibule.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

Most notification appliances were Edwards MB10-24 motor bells (10” gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd).

One showroom, as well as one corridor contained Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10” gong) on a 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd), leftover from the EST2, which were most likely installed in 2000.

There was one Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (10” gong, white label) by an entrance as a deficiency replacement in 2018; the strobe plate remained, this particular one was near Hall A and no longer exists.

There was an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (10” gong) outside the building.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

Most pull stations were EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage single-action pull stations; most were installed in 2003. Deficiency replacements of all generations could be found scattered.

One showroom contained first-generation SIGA-270P pull stations (shield logo, 2000)

There were a couple of original Edwards 270-GAO conventional two-stage pull stations, these were likely wired to SIGA-CT2 dual-input monitor modules.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There were EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors in some areas, mounted on SIGA-SB bases. There was also a sprinkler system with waterflow detection.

Modules[edit | edit source]

There were EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

Accessories[edit | edit source]

There was an Edwards EBP6SA 6.5A booster panel located beside the 3-LCDANN, as there was an EST2 panel in its place prior to the floods.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

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

System Specifications (2009 Expansion) (2009-persent)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3X addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the northwest entrance vestibule. The system runs EST’s Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The system coding is 20BPM in first-stage, followed by temporal in general alarm.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All notification appliances are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10” gong) on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd).

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

None noticed. There is a sprinkler system with waterflow detection.

Modules[edit | edit source]

There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.
