Marlborough Mall is a shopping mall located in Marlborough, NE Calgary. It was built in 1972, and had a major renovation in 2005. The current fire alarm system is from the 2005 renovation. It is serviced by Viking Fire Protection Inc.

The mall will be getting a new fire alarm system in mid-2022. Everything currently on the system will be put out of service after 16 years, ripped out and replaced. The new system will likely be a Notifier NFS2-3030C with DVC. The staff of this Wiki will be getting the old system!

System Specifications (2005-present, soon to be decommissioned)

FACP

The building is protected by a Notifier Onyx-series addressable fire alarm system. The panels protecting the main mall, professional tower and Walmart are Notifier NFS2-640C addressable fire alarm panels. These 4 panels are located in the main boiler room, behind the food court. The boards for the main mall and professional tower are mounted in one cabinet, with the Walmart panel being mounted in an adjacent cabinet. Makami College is protected by a Notifier NFS-320C addressable fire alarm system, located somewhere in the college. All panels are networked with Notifier NCM modules, and the 4 main nodes are controlled via a Notifier NCA-2 network control annunciator, mounted on the main cabinet. The system runs Notifier's FlashScan addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. First stage coding is 20BPM, followed by temporal in general alarm. The general alarm timer length is 5 minutes.

Annunciators

Most entrances have Notifier LCD-80TM annunciators.

Notification Appliances

Main Mall

All notification appliances are Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bells (10" gong). Most are mounted behind grills in the ceiling, however some are surface-mounted with System Sensor "SpectrAlert" S2415A remote strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd) mounted near them.

Walmart

Most notification appliances are Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bells (10" gong) mounted on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plates (set to 15cd).

Dollarama

All notification appliances are Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations but three are Notifier FM955 addressable two-stage single-action pull stations. The remaining three are Notifier MPS-950KB conventional single-action pull stations, wired to Notifier FMM-101A addressable monitor modules.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Notifier FSP-851A addressable photoelectric smoke detectors in some areas, mounted on System Sensor B210LPA bases. The maintenance offices and other back areas have Notifier FST-751RA addressable 135°F fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors, mounted on System Sensor B710LPA bases. Some areas have FDD "ThermoFlex" CR135 conventional 135°F fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors. The building is fully sprinklered.

Modules

There are Notifier FMM-1A addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

-The building is protected by a 4-node Notifier NFS2-640C addressable fire alarm system. The panels are in the electrical rooms, but [[User:Yycsfirealarmnimrod|Yycsfirealarmnimrod]] saw the programming data for the system, and confirmed the models. The system runs Notifier's CLIP addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. First stage coding is 20BPM, followed by Temporal in general alarm. The panels are all connected via relays and monitor modules. They are not networked.

 ==== Notification Appliances ====
-The notification appliances mainly consist of Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bells in the ceiling behind grills. They are mounted like that possibly for preference. The bells are not very easy to see through those grills. In the hallway of the mall near the Walmart, the Notifier KMS-10-24A bells have System Sensor "SpectrAlert" S2415A (red, wall, 15-candela) remote strobes beside them. In the Walmart, there are the Notifier KMS-10-24A bells, but on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plates. The pillars have two of the mentioned bell/strobes on each side, and two System Sensor "SpectrAlert" S2415A remote strobes on the others. On one pillar, both original strobes broke down; there is a System Sensor "L-Series" SRLA (red, wall, bilingual) remote strobe, and an EST "Genesis" G1R-VM (red, wall, no FIRE) remote strobe. Both were installed as deficiency replacements. McDonald's also has a KMS-10-24A/RSSP-24MCW combo, but the gong of the bell is covering the strobe, which is a code violation. In the Dollarama, there are Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells on EST "Integrity" 403-5A-R strobe plates.
