The Diplomat is a small 5 story apartment building in Beltline, Calgary, AB. It was built in 1961 but it is uncertain as to whether or not any of the system is original. Like many small apartment buildings it consists of a 120V circuit connected to AC Bells via the pull stations.
System Specifications
FACP
The apartment building is protected by a hardwired 120V fire alarm system, so there is no panel. There is a fused disconnect on the first floor with the electric meters labeled FIRE and painted red. This isn't a "panel" but it is a main shutoff for the 120v. Therefore, the system coding is continuous.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances consist of Simplex 2901-9708 120VAC vibrating bells (6" gong). They are colored white and seem to be a rare bell as there is no information on Google about this model.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
The pull stations all appear to be early Simplex 2099-9754 pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are American Sensors ESA4011 120VAC ionization smoke alarms that use a relay in parallel with the pull stations. There is also a Mirtone 73330 fixed-temperature Heat Detector in the laundry room outside the boiler room.
