Bow Valley Square is an office building complex with four towers located at 205 5 Ave SW in Downtown Calgary. The first tower was completed in 1972, and the last in 1981. The fire alarm system is not original, though a few notification appliances in underground parking are likely original. There is also a 2 story shopping mall in the building, and the second floor has three +15 skywalk additions, Fifth Avenue Place to the North, Suncor Energy Center to the east, and Brookfield Place to the south.
System Specifications
FACP
The complex is protected by a networked Notifier NFS2-3030C addressable fire alarm system. There are many panels, however they are not visible. They replaced Notifier AFP1010 panels in the late 2000s. The system is equipped with the Digital Voice Command voice-evac system, runs Notifier's FlashScan addressable protocol, and configured for two-stage operation. First stage coding is a 20BPM beep with a custom message (30 seconds of beeps, two messages, repeat), and general alarm is a temporal motor bell tone, and a custom message (7 rounds of temporal, two messages, repeat).
Annunciators
There is a Notifier CPU2-3030D LCD annunciator with a TELH-1 firefighter’s phone in a custom cabinet by the lobby.
Notification Appliances
Complex
Most of the notification appliances are from System Sensor's "SpectrAlert Advance" line of products, unless otherwise noted. Most of the notification appliances are System Sensor SPSCWA (white, ceiling-mount) speaker/strobes and System Sensor SPCWA (white, ceiling-mount) speakers, usually in the pattern of speaker/strobe, speaker, speaker/strobe, speaker. The strobes are either set to 15 or 75cd, depending on location. Most are ceiling-mounted, however the mall hallways are wall-mounted. Some SPCWA speakers can be found for additional sound coverage.

The former Tim Hortons' space had a System Sensor SP2C2430 (white, ceiling-mount, 30cd) speaker/strobe.
Parkade
There are mainly System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" SPSR (red, wall-mount) speaker/strobes. On some pillars, there are System Sensor "SpectrAlert" SP200W (white, ceiling-mount) speakers on the ceiling next to the pillar, and a System Sensor "SpectrAlert" SC2475W (white, ceiling-mount, 75cd) remote strobe on the pillar, likely left over from the AFP1010 system.
