736 8 Avenue SW (AKA Boysen Petro Fina) is an 11-storey office building in Downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building opened in 1958, and the fire alarm system is mostly from the 1983 renovation, with replacement parts installed as deficiencies occur. The building is currently being converted into affordable housing, so this information may no longer be accurate.
System Specifications (1983-present)
FACP
The building is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the CACF room, near the main entrance. It replaced a Simplex 2120 in 2014. The addressable portion of the system runs Mircom's CLIP addressable protocol. The system is equipped with the FleX-Net QX-5000 voice evacuation system, however the messages and/or tones are unknown at this time.
Notification Appliances
All notification appliances are Simplex “LifeAlarm” 2902-9732 remote speakers (red, surface-mount, 25V).
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
Most pull stations are Simplex 2099-9201 conventional single-action pull stations. There is a Mircom MS-401 conventional single-action pull station outside the CACF room as a deficiency replacement.
Automatic Detection Devices
The elevator lobbies and some other areas have Mircom MIX-2251BA addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, mounted on System Sensor B210LPA low-profile bases.
Bonus Information
There are Edwards 364 “Fire Horn” horns in the parkade, left over from the original system. They were the original notification appliances, which gives the impression that the system was Edwards. Once the Simplex system was installed, the horns were repurposed, and are now used as refrigerant alarms for the mechanical room. They are still in use after 65 years! [[]
