Village Square Leisure Centre (also known as Pepsi Thunder) is an indoor leisure centre in the Pineridge community in NE Calgary. The building houses the Village Square Library, two NHL-sized arenas, a gym, and a large waterpark with a lane pool, four waterslides, a wet playground, a wave pool, and a hot tub. The building was originally built in 1981, and underwent a major renovation in 2009. The fire alarm system is not original, however some notification appliances may be.

System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by an EST Quickstart QS4 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located next to the main entrance, across from the admissions desk. The system runs EST's Signature-series addressable protocol, and is two-stage. The system does 20BPM in first stage, followed by 120BPM march time in general alarm.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10" gong), mounted behind metal grilles. The library also has EST "Genesis" G1R-VM remote strobes (red, wall-mount) mounted sideways next to the bells. Some areas, such as the waterslide tower, have Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong), for extra coverage.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are EST SIGA-270 addressable single-action pull stations. The system goes into general alarm if two devices are activated.

Automatic Detection Devices

None noticed.

 ==== FACP ====
-The fire alarm panel is an EST QuickStart QS4. It was installed in 2008 as a replacement panel for something else. The panel is located at the front door, near the admissions. The fire alarm system is two-stage, when the fire alarm is in first stage, it makes the bells do 20bpm march time with 1/2 second blasts. When the system goes into general alarm, the fire bells do 120BPM March Time, as confirmed by user [[User:Twentytwo22]].

 ==== Notification Appliances ====
-The notification appliances consist of Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells, mostly behind metal grills for louder noise, except for a few in the Village Square Library. In the library, there are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells with EST "Genesis" G1R-VM (red, wall, no FIRE marking) strobes beside them, mounted sideways, and there is also an Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bell behind a grill next to a Genesis strobe. In the waterpark, in addition to the 439D-10AWC bells, there is an Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bell mounted high up above the waterslide, likely for coverage where the 439D-10AWC bells could not be heard.
