University Station is a Red Line CTrain LRT station in Calgary. The station primarily serves the University of Calgary, the largest university in Southern Alberta. The station is located at-grade, in the median of Crowchild Trail. This station has a small interior building and an overpass. The station opened on September 7th, 1987, and was renovated in 2019. The station received a new fire alarm system as part of the renovations.

System Specifications

FACP

The station is protected by a Simplex 4007ES addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown, but the model is speculated based on the size of the building, age of the system, and the initiating devices on the system. The system runs Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and does code 3 in alarm, along with the SmartSync protocol to synchronize all horns and strobes.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are from Simplex’s “TrueAlert” line of products. Most of the station has Simplex 4906-9127 horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd). The second floor of the building has a Simplex 4901-9820 remote horn (red, wall-mount) on the west side, and a Simplex 4906-9101 remote strobe (red, wall-mount, 15cd) on the east side.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Simplex 4099-9004 addressable LED single-action pull stations, mounted on Simplex 2975-9178 backboxes.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Simplex “TrueAlarm” detectors throughout the building. Some are Simplex 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, and some are Simplex 4098-9734 addressable fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors. All are mounted on Simplex 4098-9792 addressable bases.
