Shane Homes YMCA at Rocky Ridge is a large recreation facility in Rocky Ridge, NW Calgary. It was built in 2017-18, and opened in 2018, and the fire alarm system is original to the facility. It has an area of 26,385 square meters, making it the largest YMCA facility in Calgary, until another YMCA in Calgary surpassed this facility.

System Specifications

FACP

The facility is protected by a networked Simplex 4100ES addressable fire alarm system. There are multiple panels; one is located in a security office by an entrance. That panel has an auxiliary panel right next to it. The system is equipped with voice-evacuation. The system runs Simplex's IDNet addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The tones and/or messages are unknown at this time.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances are all from Simplex's "TrueAlert" line of products. The main notification appliances are Simplex 4906-9151 (red, wall-mount, multi-candela) speaker/strobes. These can be found everywhere in the building. In areas where more sound coverage is needed, such as the pool and arenas, there are also Simplex 4902-9716 (red, wall-mount) speakers. Some areas have Simplex 4906-9154 (white, ceiling-mount, multi-candela) speaker/strobes, like on ceilings underneath the "catwalk". There are also Simplex 4902-9721 (white, ceiling-mount) speakers in areas with 4906-9154 speaker/strobes, but where more sound coverage is needed. They are also seen in the hallway to the washrooms. Outside by the entrance with the panel, there is a Simplex 4906-9105 (red, wall-mount) weatherproof strobe under an overhang.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations are Simplex 4099-9004CA addressable two-stage IDNet pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

The smoke detectors are Simplex 4098-9714 photoelectric addressable smoke detectors, seen throughout. They are on Simplex 4098-9792 bases.
