The University of Calagry is a public university located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This page will cover the Kinesiology A building, which opened in 1962 and underwent an expansion in 1971. The fire alarm system was installed in 2020.
System Specifications (2020-present)
FACP
The building is protected by a Simplex 4100ES addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule, and is equipped with the InfoAlarm Command Center. The system runs Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The messages and/or tones are unknown at this time. The system replaced a conventional, non-voice evac 4100ES due to that system being outdated.
Notification Appliances
All indoor notification appliances are Simplex “TrueAlert” 4906-9151 speaker/strobes (red, wall-mount). For outdoor notification, there is a Simplex 4906-9105 weatherproof remote strobe (red, wall-mount) outside the main entrance.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All pull stations are Simplex 4099-9001 addressable single-action pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are Simplex “TrueAlarm” 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building, mounted on 4098-9792 addressable bases.

FACP
The building was protected by a Simplex 4100ES conventional fire alarm system. The panel was located in the main entrance vestibule, and was equipped with InfoAlarm Command Center. The system coding was temporal. This panel replaced an Edwards 6500 in 2016 to add more detectors, and was replaced in 2020 with an addressable variant with voice evacuation.
Annunciators
There is an Edwards annunciator at the entrance, model to be confirmed. It remains, but is disconnected.
Notification Appliances
All notification appliances were Edwards “Adaptahorn” 360 horns (red, wall-mount). These were original in both wings, and were not replaced despite the age. The ones installed in the 1971 expansion had “FIRE HORN” on them. The horns were 20VDC.
According to campus security, these horns were very loud and were one of the best-working alarms on campus! These horns lasted 58 years in service!
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
Most pull stations were the original first-generation Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations. Variants up to third generation 270-SPO’s could be found as deficiency replacements. Some areas had Simplex 2099-9754 conventional single-action pull stations as deficiency replacements, installed by JCI.
