Southland Station is an LRT station in Calgary, Alberta. It serves the neighborhoods of Maple Ridge, Pump Hill, Palliser, Oakridge, and parts of Willow Park. This station shares a design with Heritage Station, and the fire alarm system is very similar. This station was also built in 1981, but the system here is not original.

System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QS1 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in a locked cabinet labeled “Fire Alarm Panel” on the mezzanine level, and was likely installed in the early 2010s. The system runs EST's Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is most likely temporal.

Notification Appliances

Like Heritage Station, there is only one notification appliance in the whole station. The bell is a Mirtone 74328 vibrating bell (6” gong). It is located behind a metal grille, likely to prevent vandalism.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are EST SIGA-270 addressable single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are several EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the station, mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.

EOLs

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