System Specifications

FACP: Edwards EST3 FACP Location: Unknown System Type: Two-Stage Addressable System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VDC System Coding: 20BPM (Alert) Temporal (Alarm) Strobes Synchronized: Yes, Self-sync Date of last known Upgrade: 2022 Year Opened: 2012

Genesis Centre is a multi-purpose complex located at 7555 Falconridge Boulevard Northeast #10, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building houses the Saddletowne YMCA, several arenas, a swimming pool, several gymnasiums, as well as a field house. The building opened in 2012, and was expanded in 2014. The fire alarm system is original with the exception of the main FACP.

System Specifications (2011-present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. Alert signal coding is 20BPM, followed by temporal for the evacuation signal.

This panel replaced the original EST QuickStart QS4 in 2022.

Annunciators[edit | edit source]

There is an Edwards EST3-6ANN annunciator in the main entrance vestibule.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

Feature Gym[edit | edit source]

One wall has Edwards MB10-24 motor bells (10" gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd).

The other wall has Mircom BL-10B motor bells (10" gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd), as this was the area expanded in 2014.

All Other Areas[edit | edit source]

All notification appliances but one are Edwards MB10-24 motor bells (10" gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd).

There is an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (10" gong) on an Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plate (15cd) in the community gym, which is also original and likely installed due to supply issues.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations are EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage single-action pull stations. There are a few newer ones installed as deficiency replacements.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors in some areas, such as the elevator lobbies, mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.

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

EOLs[edit | edit source]

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

 ==== FACP ====
+The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. Alert signal coding is 20BPM, followed by temporal for the evacuation signal.
-The fire alarm panel is an EST QuickStart QS4, as confirmed by an annunciator. It is guaranteed that it is original, due to the GE logo. The panel is not visible.
+This panel replaced the original EST QuickStart QS4 in 2022.
 ===== Annunciators =====
+There is an Edwards EST3-6ANN annunciator in the main entrance vestibule.
-There is an EST QS4-CPU-1 annunciator, with two SL30 zone cards at the main entrance.
 ==== Notification Appliances ====
+=====Feature Gym=====
+One wall has Edwards MB10-24 motor bells (10" gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd).
-The notification appliances are mainly Edwards MB10-24 motor bells on EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R strobe plates. In the fields, the bell/strobes have wire grills on them. In the feature gym, there are the mentioned bell/strobes on one side, and Mircom BL-10B motor bells on EST 403-5A-R strobe plates. Why the Mircom bells are there is unknown, but they are most likely original. In the community gym, there is one Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell on an EST 403-5A-R strobe plate, mixed in with the MB10-24 combos, also original. One of the MB10-24 bells has a green Skittles wrapper stuck to the striker.
+The other wall has Mircom BL-10B motor bells (10" gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd), as this was the area expanded in 2014.
