FACP: Siemens MXL FACP Location: West Entrance System Type: Two-Stage Addressable System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VFWR System Coding: 20BPM (Alert) Temporal (Alarm) Strobes Synchronized: Yes Date of last known Upgrade: 2019 Year Opened: 1971 Year Decommissioned: 2022

Northland Village Mall was a mall located at 5111 Northland Drive NW, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The mall opened in 1971, and was demolished in 2022. The fire alarm system was installed in 2005.

Former System Specifications (2005-2022)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building was protected by a Siemens MXL addressable fire alarm system. The panel was located near the former west entrance. The system ran Siemens’ FirePrint addressable protocol, and was configured for two-stage operation. Alert signal coding was 20BPM, followed by temporal as alarm signal. General alarm timer length was 5 minutes.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

Most notification appliances were Siemens U-MMT-MCS-B multi-tone horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to continuous horn/15cd).

Some areas had Siemens MTH-MC-R-B multi-tone horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to continuous horn/15cd) as deficiency replacements.

The Walmart formerly had Siemens U-MMT-S17-C horn/strobes (red, ceiling-mount, 15cd) installed on the walls, which were replaced when an independent system was installed. The same horn/strobes could be found in the hallways, some with wall orientation "FIRE" stickers.

The Best Buy formerly had Siemens U-MMT-MCS-W-B horn/strobes (white, wall-mount), which were replaced when an independent system was installed.

Some areas had Siemens ZH-MC-R horn/strobes (red, wall-mount). All horns were set to continuous horn.

There was a Siemens MBDC-6C motor bell (6" gong) in an entrance vestibule, however the purpose was unknown.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

All pull stations were Cerberus/Siemens MSI-30B addressable two-stage single-action pull stations. Some were branded Cerberus, while others were branded Siemens.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

There were Siemens FP-11 addressable multisensor smoke/heat detectors throughout the building. There was also sprinkler system with waterflow detection.

Modules[edit | edit source]

There were Siemens TRI-D addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

There were Siemens TRI-R addressable relay modules serving various purposes.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

There were Siemens EL-300C end of line resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.

+'''Northland Village Mall''' was a mall located at 5111 Northland Drive NW, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The mall opened in 1971, and was demolished in 2022. The fire alarm system was installed in 2005.

+====FACP====
+The building was protected by a Siemens MXL addressable fire alarm system. The panel was located near the former west entrance. The system ran Siemens’ FirePrint addressable protocol, and was configured for two-stage operation. Alert signal coding was 20BPM, followed by temporal as alarm signal.

-==== FACP ====
+The Walmart formerly had Siemens U-MMT-S17-C horn/strobes (red, ceiling-mount, 15cd) installed on the walls, which were replaced when an independent system was installed. The same horn/strobes could be found in the hallways, some with wall orientation "FIRE" stickers.
-The mall has Siemens MXL addressable fire alarm control panels installed in 2005. They likely replaced older MXL panels from 1998. So far, one has been found at the entrance near Cora.
+The Best Buy formerly had Siemens U-MMT-MCS-W-B horn/strobes (white, wall-mount), which were replaced when an independent system was installed.
-==== Notification Appliances ====
+Some areas had Siemens ZH-MC-R horn/strobes (red, wall-mount). All horns were set to continuous horn.
-The notification appliances are mainly Siemens U-MMT-S17 multi-tone horn/strobes from 1998 and 2005. Some are ceiling models and most in the hallways have fake wall orientation on the original "FIRE". The Walmart has Cerberus branded variants of the ceiling U-MMT-S17. Replacement signals in the hallways and a few stores include Siemens U-MMT-MCS-B multi-tone horn/strobes, Siemens MT-MC-R-B (rebranded Wheelock MT-24MCW) multi-tone horn/strobes, and a few Siemens ZH-MC-R (rebranded Wheelock ZNS-24MCW) horn/strobes. The Best Buy has Siemens U-MMT-MCS-W-B white multi-tone horn/strobes, and the Walmart has one Edwards 882-2B horn at the back. It is unknown if it is in use still, as there is a Siemens U-MMT-S17 about 12 feet from it.
+There was a Siemens MBDC-6C motor bell (6" gong) in an entrance vestibule, however the purpose was unknown.

+There were Siemens EL-300C end of line resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.
-The main pull stations are Siemens HMS-2S two-stage pull stations from 2005, but the Walmart has Cerberus MSI-30B two-stage pull stations. Some Cerberus pull stations can be found as leftover pull stations pre-MXL.
-==== Automatic Detection Devices ====
-The smoke detectors are Siemens FirePrint FP-11 multi-sensor addressable smoke and heat detectors from 2005.
