System Specifications

FACP: Mircom FA-1000 FACP Location: Main Entrance Vestibule System Type: Single-Stage Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VFWR System Coding: Continuous Date of last known Upgrade: 2010s Year Opened: 1981

The Acadia Recreation Complex is a recreation centre located at 240 90 Ave SE, Calgary, Alberta. The building houses a large arena and a gymnasium. The building was built in 1981, and the fire alarm system is partially original.

System Specifications (2010s-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Mircom FA-1000 conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule. The system coding is continuous.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are Edwards "Durabel" 6100D vibrating bells (6" gong).

The following bells are installed as deficiency replacements:

Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong) in some areas
Mircom BL-6B motor bell (6" gong) in main arena
Mircom BL-6A motor bells (6" gong) in banquet hall
Cerberus BDC-1024 vibrating bell (10" gong) in main arena

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Most areas have a mix of Edwards 270-SPO and 274-111 conventional single-action pull stations.

Some areas have Mircom MS-401 conventional single-action pull stations as deficiency replacements.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are a mix of the following conventional heat detectors in all mechanical, janitor, storage and electrical rooms, plus all arena dressing rooms, ordered from most to least prevalent:

System Sensor 5601A (135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise)
Edwards 245A (135°F fixed-temperature)
FDD CR-135 (135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise)
Edwards 281A (135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise)
FDD CF-135 (135°F fixed-temperature)

There are System Sensor "i3" C2W-BA conventional photoelectric smoke detectors at the top of most stairwells, and in the curling locker area.

There is an Edwards C2M-PD conventional photoelectric smoke detector in the arena back exit corridor.

EOLs

There are a mix of Edwards EOL-P1 and Mircom MP-300 end of line resistor plates on all circuits.
