Cochrane Arena is an ice hockey arena in the town of Cochrane, AB. It is adjacent to Cochrane High School, in Cochrane Heights. It is the original arena in Cochrane, and was built in 1960. The building does not have its original system, but some pull stations and one bell is original to the current fire alarm system.

System Specifications

FACP

The fire alarm panel is an Edwards 2280 installed in 1990, but it is not original. The system has had a few modifications since then, but the fire panel still remains. The annunciator is right at the front entrance, but the panel itself is not visible - it's in some electrical room. Since there is no coding options for the 2280, the system does continuous.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances vary. There is an Edwards "Durabel" 6100D 6" vibrating bell in the lobby. It has the late 1970s Edwards logo, so it was installed before the 2280 was installed. It is the only one there, as all the others were replaced. In the arena itself, there is a Wheelock MB-G6-24 motor bell, replacing a Durabel that was no longer functioning before 2007. The hallways to the dressing rooms, however, have EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes on trim plates. Why they are there is unknown, possibly the Durabels were not loud enough. They appear to be installed in the mid-late 2000s, as they were there in 2009. The Wheelock bell and the EST horn/strobes have round outlines behind them, revealing that there were Durabels there before. The horn/strobes are self-coded to code 3 while the bells do continuous. This is considered a code violation, as the sound must be uniform (no horns and strobes together).

Pull Stations

The main pull stations are Edwards 270-SPO pull stations, installed in 1990. There are still lots intact, although some were replaced. Several of them were replaced with Mircom MS-401 pull stations with both the current and older Mircom logos. There are is one Notifier NFM-950B pull station at the entrance under the annunciator. There is a Notifier MPS-950B in an exit in the main arena as a replacement as well.

Automatic Detection Devices

The smoke detectors seen throughout are Edwards EC30U-3 photoelectric smoke detectors, which were installed in the 2010s.
