The University of Calagry is a public university located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This page will cover the Kinesiology A building, which opened in 1962 and underwent an expansion in 1971. The fire alarm system was fully upgraded in 2020.
System Specifications (2020-present)[edit | edit source]
FACP[edit | edit source]
The building is protected by a Simplex 4100ES addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule, and is equipped with the InfoAlarm Command Center. The system runs Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The messages and/or tones are unknown at this time.
The system replaced a conventional, non-voice evac 4100ES due to that system being outdated.
Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]
All indoor notification appliances are Simplex “TrueAlert” 4906-9151 speaker/strobes (red, wall-mount).
For outdoor notification, there is a Simplex 4906-9105 weatherproof remote strobe (red, wall-mount) outside the main entrance.
Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]
Pull Stations[edit | edit source]
All pull stations are Simplex 4099-9001 addressable single-action pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]
There are Simplex “TrueAlarm” 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building, mounted on 4098-9792 addressable bases.
EOLs[edit | edit source]
There are Simplex 2081-9040C end-of-line resistor plates on all signal circuits.

FACP[edit | edit source]
The building was protected by Edwards 1221T and Simplex 4100ES conventional fire alarm systems. The 4100ES was located in the main entrance vestibule and was equipped with InfoAlarm Command Center, and the 1221T was located in an electrical room. The system coding was continuous, as the notification appliances were fed off of the 1221T.
The 4100ES was installed in 2016 to monitor the initiating devices and due to addition of some detectors. The panel had a relay to trip the 1221T during an alarm.
This system unfortunately was replaced in 2020 with an addressable variant with voice evacuation, lasting a mere 58 years in service.
FACP Accessories[edit | edit source]
The 4100ES had a Simplex 4100-1293 printer module for logging the alarm events.
Annunciators[edit | edit source]
There is an Edwards 456 annunciator in the entrance, disconnected.
Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]
All notification appliances were Edwards “Adaptahorn” 360A vibrating horns (red, flush-mount, 12VAC). These were original in both wings.
The ones installed in the 1971 expansion had “FIRE HORN” on them. These were powered by the 1221T.
According to campus security, despite their age, these horns were very loud and were one of the best-working alarms on campus!
Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]
The initiating devices were connected to the 4100ES.
Pull Stations[edit | edit source]
Most pull stations were the original first-generation Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations. Variants up to third generation 270-SPO’s could be found as deficiency replacements.
Some areas had Simplex 2099-9754 conventional single-action pull stations as deficiency replacements.
Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]
Not known, most likely Simplex 4098-9601 conventional photoelectric smoke detectors mounted on 4098-9788 bases.
EOLs[edit | edit source]
There were Simplex 2081-9040C end-of-line resistor plates on each conventional zone.
