Calgary Co-op is a chain of member-owned grocery stores across Calgary, Alberta, Canada. They have stores throughout the city, and in surrounding towns and cities such as Airdrie and High River. This particular store is located at 5505 Shaganappi Trail Northwest, in Calgary. The store opened in 1973, and the fire alarm system was installed in 2022.

System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by an EST iO64 addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown. The system runs EST’s Signature-series addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Annunciators

There is an EST R-LCD-C annunciator paired with an R-LED annunciator at the Health entrance.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are EST “Genesis” G4AVRF horn/strobes (red, wall-mount). One is installed on a Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plate, which is disconnected.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations but one are Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations, with one being original at the front. The rest were installed in 1996. There is one Edwards 275-SPO conventional single-action pull station in the backroom. These are likely wired to EST SIGA-CT1 addressable modules, however this is unconfirmed.

Automatic Detection Devices

None noticed.

Former System Specifications

FACP

The store was most likely protected by an EST 6616 conventional fire alarm system. The panel location was unknown. The system was installed in 1996, and decommissioned in 2022. The system coding was likely continuous.

Notification Appliances

Most of the notification appliances were Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6” gong) on EST 403-5A-R (15cd) strobe plates. By the entrance of the store, there was one Notifier KMS-6-24A motor bell (6” gong) on a Wheelock RSSP-24MCW (red, wall-mount, multi-candela) strobe plate, as a replacement. The Wheelock strobe plate still exists, but is disconnected.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations were the Edwards 270-SPO conventional pull stations, and the 275-SPO pull station which are still in use on the iO64.

Automatic Detection Devices
