Lowe's Home Improvement is a chain of home improvement stores aka hardware stores throughout Canada. This particular location is in Crowfoot, AB. It was built in 1995 as Rona, which is also a hardware store. It was remodeled in late 2017 to become a Lowe's. The current fire alarm system has been in use since 2014.
System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm control panel is a Notifier NFS2-640C installed in 2014. It is located behind the front customer service desk at the entrance. It replaced an EST 6632 from 1995, likely after the CPU failed. Despite the NFS2-640C being an addressable FACP, the system is not set up in an addressable manner. The system is managed by Troy Life & Fire Safety.
