736 8 Avenue SW (AKA Boysen Petro Fina) is an 11-storey office building in Downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building opened in 1958, and the fire alarm system is mostly from the 1987 renovation, with replacement parts installed as deficiencies occur. The building is currently being converted into affordable housing, so this information may no longer be accurate.
System Specifications (1987-present)[edit | edit source]
FACP[edit | edit source]
The building is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the CACF room, near the main entrance. The addressable portion of the system runs Mircom's CLIP addressable protocol. The system is equipped with the FleX-Net QX-5000 voice evacuation system, however the messages and/or tones are unknown at this time.
The FX-2000 replaced a Simplex 2120 in 2015.
Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]
All notification appliances are Simplex “LifeAlarm” 2902-9732 remote speakers (red, surface-mount, 25V).
There are Simplex 2902-9314 speakers (ceiling-mount, 8", round) on some floors.
Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]
Pull Stations[edit | edit source]
Most pull stations are Simplex 4251-20 conventional single-action pull stations.
There is a Mircom MS-401 conventional single-action pull station outside the CACF room as a deficiency replacement.
Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]
The elevator lobbies and some other areas have Mircom MIX-2251BA addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, mounted on System Sensor B210LPA low-profile bases.
EOLs[edit | edit source]
There are Simplex 2081-9018C end-of-line resistor plates on all conventional and signal circuits.
Bonus Information[edit | edit source]
There are Edwards 364 “Fire Horn” horns in the parkade, left over from the original system. They were the original notification appliances, which gives the impression that the system was Edwards. Once the Simplex system was installed, the horns were repurposed, and are now used as refrigerant alarms for the mechanical room. They are still in use after 65 years!
