'''Cochrane Christian Academy''' is a Christian K-8 school located at 129 Powell St, Downtown Cochrane, AB. It is operated by Rocky View Schools. The school was built in the 1955 as Andrew Sibbald School. The school then underwent renovations in 1959, 1969 and 1989. The school went yet another renovation, and expanded with portables in 1993 and started to be rented by Calgary Catholic School District, in which the school became Holy Spirit Catholic School, until 2022, when the school moved to a new location. The school was then renovated through 2022-2023, and the fire alarm system survived. The fire alarm system was partially upgraded in 2014, and one pull station is original.

System Type: Single-Stage Hybrid-Addressable

Cochrane Christian Academy is a Christian K-8 school located at 129 Powell St, Downtown Cochrane, AB. It is operated by Rocky View Schools. The school was built in the 1955 as Andrew Sibbald School. The school then underwent renovations in 1959, 1969 and 1989. The school went yet another renovation, and expanded with portables in 1993 and started to be rented by Calgary Catholic School District, in which the school became Holy Spirit Catholic School, until 2022, when the school moved to a new location. The school was then renovated through 2022-2023, and the fire alarm system survived. The fire alarm system was partially upgraded in 2014, and one pull station is original.

System Specifications (2014-present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by a Vigilant VS2 hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule. The system runs Vigilant's GSA addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

This system replaced the EST 6616 in June 2014.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All of the notification appliances are from EST's "Genesis" line of products.

All notification appliances inside are EST G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE lettering, set to 15cd) horn/strobes, mostly installed on two-device backboxes in the hallway. They are also installed remotely in some parts of the hallway, as well as in three classrooms and the library. In the end of the portables and in the gym, they are on G1TR trim plates.

The washrooms and "time in room" have EST G1R-VM (red, wall-mount, no FIRE lettering, set to 15cd) remote strobes.

There is an EST GC-HDVM (white, ceiling-mount, no FIRE lettering, set to 30cd) horn/strobe in the 2018 portable.

For outdoor notification, there is an EST WG4RF-HVMC (red, FIRE lettering) weatherproof horn/strobe pointed at the large field, under a protective cover.

All of these horn/strobes were installed in 2014, replacing the bell/strobes.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are Edwards 270-SPO conventional pull stations. They were mostly installed with the 6616, however there is one original first-generation 270-SPO (Classic shield, FIRE ALARM) in the northernmost portable.

There is a current-generation 270-SPO at the end of the portables hallway, installed as a deficiency replacement sometime between 2015 and 2022.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are EST SIGA2-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, installed on SIGA-SB bases throughout the building.

Some areas have Edwards EC20RRU-3 conventional 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors. They were installed in 2020 replacing recalled Edwards 281C conventional 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors that were left over from the previous system.

There are also Edwards 6266C-001 conventional photoelectric duct smoke detectors in 6260B housings, located throughout the building behind the ceiling tiles, wired up to 6262B-001 test stations/alarm indicators. The building does not have a sprinkler system.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

There are Edwards EOL-P1 end-of-line resistors on the conventional zones and signal circuit.

Former System Specifications (1993-2014)[edit | edit source]

Former System Specifications
FACP: EST 6616
FACP Location: Main Entrance Vestibule
System Type: Single-Stage Conventional
System Line Voltage: 120VAC
NAC Voltage: 24VFWR
System Coding: Continuous
Strobes Synchronized: No

Date of system installation: 1993
Date of last known Upgrade: 2000s
Year Decomissioned: 2014

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building was protected by an EST 6616 conventional fire alarm system. The panel was located in the main entrance vestibule. 7 zones were in use. The system coding was continuous.

It was replaced in 2014 with the Vigilant system as a lifecycle replacement.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

Most notification appliances were Wheelock MBS-G10-24 motor bell/strobes (10" gong, 1.5cd).

There was an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (10" gong) on an EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R (15cd) strobe plate installed in the early 2000s as a deficiency replacement near the other common area.

In the northernmost portable, there was an Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bell (6" gong) on a Wheelock VLPS-24 strobe plate (1.5cd), with the strobe above the bell, likely installed as a deficiency replacement.

For outdoor notification, there were two Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10" gong); one located by the large field and one facing the staff parking lot. These were installed with the 6616.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

The pull stations were the Edwards 270-SPO pull stations. They were mostly installed with the 6616, however there is one original first-generation 270-SPO (Classic shield, FIRE ALARM) in a portable.

All of these pull stations are still in use on the current system.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There were Edwards 6250C ionization smoke detectors throughout.

Some areas had Edwards 281C 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors that were kept on the current system until 2020.

There were also Edwards 6266C-001 photoelectric duct smoke detectors in 6260B housings, located throughout the building behind the ceiling tiles, wired up to 6262B-001 test stations/alarm indicators; these remained.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

There were Edwards EOL-P1 end-of-line resistors on all circuits.
