Trail Appliances is a chain of appliance stores in Western Canada. This particular store is located at 6880 11 St SE, in the Deerfoot Meadows industrial area of Southeast Calgary. It opened in 1986 as a Costco, and became Trail Appliances in 2002 once Costco moved to its new location. The system was replaced in about 2014, but the horn/strobes from when it opened remain.

System Specifications (2014-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Vigilant VS1 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance, and replaced a Notifier AFP-200 in about 2014. The system runs Vigilant's GSA addressable protocol, and the system coding is continuous; the notification appliances are self-coded.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are System Sensor “SpectrAlert” P241575A horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 15/75cd). These were installed when the building was converted, which was 2002, and were not replaced despite the upgrade. They are set on electromechanical, temporal.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Vigilant GSA-M270 addressable single-action "teardrop" pull stations. These were installed in 2014.

Automatic Detection Devices

The sales floor is protected by a sprinkler system with waterflow detection, so there are no detectors visible.

Modules

There are Vigilant GSA-MM1 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.
