'''Contemporary Calgary''' is an art museum in Calgary. It is in Downtown Calgary, off of 11 St SW. It was where the former Telus World Of Science in Calgary was before 2011. The building is from 1967, but the alarm system is from like 2018. When the science center was in the space, it had two different systems. The Telus Science Center was replaced with [[TELUS Spark]] in 2011.

'''Centennial Planetarium''' was a planetarium in Calgary. It is in Downtown Calgary, at 701 11 St SW. It is one of Calgary's best examples of Brutalist architecture. The TELUS World of Science moved in in 1984, and was renovated in 2011. Following the opening of [[TELUS Spark]] in 2011, Telus World of Science closed its doors. In 2018, an art museum known as Contemporary Calgary moved into the space. The system was installed following the new tenant.

Centennial Planetarium was a planetarium in Calgary. It is in Downtown Calgary, at 701 11 St SW. It is one of Calgary's best examples of Brutalist architecture. The TELUS World of Science moved in in 1984, and was renovated in 2011. Following the opening of TELUS Spark in 2011, Telus World of Science closed its doors. In 2018, an art museum known as Contemporary Calgary moved into the space. The system was installed following the new tenant.

System Specifications (2018-present)[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 boiler room. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Annunciators[edit | edit source]

There is an Edwards EST3-6ANN annunciator equipped with an LCDXL1 display at the main entrance.

All notification appliances are EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no marking, set to 15cd).

There is one Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bell (6" gong) on an EST 403-5A-R (15cd) strobe plate left over, but it is disconnected.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

The pull stations are EST SIGA-270 addressable pull stations.
