510 77 Avenue SE is the address of a commercial plaza in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The plaza contains the Calgary Farmer’s Market, Shooting Edge, and a school space. The building opened in 1962, and the fire alarm system is from 2011 when the Farmer’s Market opened.

System Specifications (2011-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a 2-node Notifier NFS-320C addressable fire alarm system. The main panel is located in the west electrical room, and the second panel is located in the rear exit of Shooting Edge. The system is networked using a NotiFireNet fibre network, and has an NCA-2 network annunciator located next to the main panel. The system runs Notifier’s FlashScan addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Annunciators

Each entrance vestibule to the Calgary Farmer’s Market has a Notifier LCD-80 annunciator.

Notification Appliances

Calgary Farmer’s Market

The notification appliances are a mix of System Sensor “SpectrAlert Advance” P2RA horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd) and System Sensor PC2WA horn/strobes (white, ceiling-mount, set to 15cd). The washrooms have System Sensor SRA remote strobes (red, wall-mount). For outdoor notification, there is a System Sensor P2RKA weatherproof horn/strobe (red, wall-mount) by each entrance to the market (three in total).

Shooting Edge

All notification appliances are System Sensor “SpectrAlert” P2415A horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd), installed in 2000.

School Space

All notification appliances are Mircom “Select-A-Horn/Strobe” FHS-240R horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd). These are set to the broadband tone.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Calgary Farmer’s Market

All pull stations are Notifier NBG-12LX addressable dual-action pull stations.

Shooting Edge

All pull stations are Notifier MPS-950B conventional single-action pull stations. Each pull station is wired to a Notifier MMX-101A addressable monitor module, located directly behind each station.

School Space

All pull stations are Tyco/Grinnell MS-401GR conventional single-action pull stations. Each pull station is wired to a Notifier FMM-101A addressable monitor module, located directly behind each station.

Automatic Detection Devices

None noticed, waterflow present.

Accessories

Each sprinkler switch is wired to a Notifier FMM-1A addressable monitor module.

Bonus Information

The school space has two Potter H-1224R remote horns (red, wall-mount, broadband tone) connected to a 24VDC power supply. These are not connected to the fire alarm system, but are used for fire drills to not disrupt the other tenants. The horns are coded to march time.

-'''510 77 Ave SE''' is a large single floor multi-use building in Fairview, SE Calgary. It was built in 1964, though the system is not original. This building has the Calgary Farmers' Market, Third Academy (a school), The Athlete Factory and The Shooting Edge, all with different notification appliances, but on the same system. The system is serviced by Viking Fire Protection Inc.
-== System Specifications (2011-present) ==
-==== FACP ====
-The building is protected by a Notifier NotiFireNet networked fire alarm system. There are two panels on this network, and both are Notifier NFS-320C. There is an NCA-2 network control annunciator mounted next to the main panel. The two panels were installed in 2011 when the Calgary Farmers' Market was moved into this building. There are Notifier LCD-80 annunciators at all entrances to the farmers' market, but the panels are not visible. One is in the west electrical room right next to the main entrance, and the other is located in The Athlete Factory's back exit.
-==== Notification Appliances ====
-The notification appliances vary per outlet. The Calgary Farmer's Market has System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" P2RA (red, wall) and PC2WA (white, ceiling) horn/strobes installed in 2011. The Shooting Edge has System Sensor "SpectrAlert" P1224MCA horn/strobes, installed in 2000. Third Academy, however, has Mircom FHS-240R horn/strobes. For outdoor notification, there is a System Sensor P2RKA (red, wall) weatherproof horn/strobe. When the system goes into alarm, all horns do code-3, and the Mircom horn/strobes are set to the electromechanical tone. The System Sensor alarms are synchronized with each other, while the Mircom horn/strobes are also synchronized, but independent from the System Sensor, which means that the two brands have their own sync modules. <br>
-=== Initiating Devices ===
-==== Pull Stations ====
-The pull stations in the farmers' market are Notifier NBG-12LX, installed in 2011. The Shooting Edge has a mix of Notifier MPS-950B and NFM-950B pull stations. Third Academy, however, has Tyco/Grinnell MS-401.
-==== Automatic Detection Devices ====
-There are Notifier FSP-851 smoke detectors in the farmer's market. The building is also protected by a sprinkler system with waterflow detection, so other areas do not have detectors.
-==Known Activations==
+'''510 77 Avenue SE''' is the address of a commercial plaza in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  The plaza contains the Calgary Farmer’s Market, Shooting Edge, and a school space.  The building opened in 1962, and the fire alarm system is from 2011 when the Farmer’s Market opened.
-In December 2021, the fire alarm system went off. A pull station was accidentally struck by a Farmers' Market employee. The system worked like it was supposed to, and no charges were pressed against the employee.
-At 12:38PM on January 10th, 2022, the fire alarm system was activated again.  The culprit of the alarm was found to be a waterflow switch in The Shooting Edge.  There was work being done on the water mains, and the fluctuation in pressure caused the flow switch to activate.

-== Bonus Information ==
+====FACP====
-There are two Potter H-1224R horns in Third Academy for a mock fire alarm system, only used for fire drills. However, they are not part of the Notifier system, and are on a 24VDC power supply and a light switch. They are set to march time broadband. It is unknown why they did not set up a drill switch on the NFS-320C to only sound the Mircom horn/strobes.
+The building is protected by a 2-node Notifier NFS-320C addressable fire alarm system.  The main panel is located in the west electrical room, and the second panel is located in the rear exit of Shooting Edge.  The system is networked using a NotiFireNet fibre network, and has an NCA-2 network annunciator located next to the main panel.  The system runs Notifier’s FlashScan addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.
