'''Regina Mundi Catholic College''' is a catholic high school located in London, Ontario. It was the second Catholic school to be built in Ontario. It was first built in 1963 as a seminary for boys, then an all boys school in 1967, and in 1983 added a gymnasium and science laboratories as a co-ed school. It was then expanded in 1988 as a high school. The fire alarm system is not original, however some pull stations and bells are still original from 1963!

The notification appliances are surprisingly still mostly the original Edwards "Adaptabel" 23 10" single-stroke bells that run off 4 volts DC. They presumably have a 24VDC to 4VDC transformer, or they are all wired in series.

In the science wing, there is one original Edwards model 23 bell, and a 1990s Edwards "Adaptabel" 333D 10"  single-stroke bell installed as a replacement, although it is a 24VDC model.

In the technology wing, also built in 1988, there is an Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bell in a hallway, and Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells, including one in a storage room due to that part being formerly being a hallway.

Regina Mundi Catholic College is a catholic high school located at 5250 Wellington Rd S in London, Ontario. It was the second Catholic school to be built in Ontario. It was first built in 1963 as a seminary for boys, then an all boys school in 1967, and in 1983 added a gymnasium and science laboratories as a co-ed school. It was then expanded in 1988 as a high school. The fire alarm system was upgraded in 1988, but some of the bells and pull stations remain original.

There are also portables built between 1988 and 2000, which are independent from the main system, however all systems are wired to trip each other when one goes into alarm. The 2nd and 3rd floors were originally dorms, but were converted to classrooms.

System Specifications (1988-present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The school is protected by an Edwards Custom 6500 conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located in the mechanical room in the basement, and has an auxiliary panel for additional zones. It has a total of 52 zones. The system coding is march time.

The 6500 was installed in 1988 after the major expansion, replacing an Edwards 1221T.

Annunciators[edit | edit source]

There is an annunciator for the Edwards 6500 located in the front foyer, model unknown.

There is an Edwards "Adaptabel" 333D single-stroke bell (10" gong) in the science wing as a deficiency replacement.

Outside the music room, there is an Edwards "Adaptabel" model 24 single-stroke bell (10" gong, 12VAC).

The 4VDC and 12VAC bells are wired to transformers to operate off 24VDC, located directly behind the bells.

Technology Wing (1988)[edit | edit source]

There is an Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bell (6" gong) in a hallway, and Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10", including one in a storage room due to that part being formerly being a hallway.
