Rona is a chain of hardware stores. This location is in the neighborhood of Midnapore in SE Calgary, and was built in 1988 as Totem Building Supplies, but was converted into a Rona in the the early 2010s, likely 2014. The fire alarm system, however, was NOT affected by these changes, and is original from 1988. The panel, some bells and most pull stations are original. The store has been closed since January 2020, but the building and fire alarm system is still up, and users Simplex NimrodES and YYCFireAlarmNimrod will be trying to salvage the system as there are lots of rare goodies.. As of October 2020, the building is for lease. Please note that this is how the system looked in 2019, and the system may have been replaced.
System Specifications
FACP
The panel is a Mirtone 7800, located in the entrance of the store. This panel was installed in 1988, and is original to the store itself. The lock on the panel door has been broken for some time, and the panel is held shut with tape. Since there were no coding options on the 7800, the system does continuous. The system is serviced by Troy Life & Fire Safety.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances are bells, as per the standard back in 1988. The original bells are Mirtone 74303 vibrating bells, in which some are still up and working. Some Mirtone bells failed or quit working and were replaced with many other signals. Replacement alarms in the store are Wheelock MBS-G6-24 motor bell/strobes, MBS-G10-24 motor bell/strobes, MB-G6-24 motor bells and MB-G10-24 motor bells, likely from the 1990s. The odd one out replacement bell there that has been installed in the late 2010s is a Simplex 2901-9723 motor bell.
