'''Centennial Planetarium''' was a planetarium in Calgary. It is in Downtown Calgary, at 701 11 St SW. It is one of Calgary's best examples of Brutalist architecture. The TELUS World of Science moved in in 1984, and was renovated in 2011. Following the opening of [[TELUS Spark]] in 2011, Telus World of Science closed its doors. In 2018, an art museum known as Contemporary Calgary moved into the space. The system was installed following the new tenant.

Centennial Planetarium was a planetarium in Calgary. It is in Downtown Calgary, at 701 11 St SW. It is one of Calgary's best examples of Brutalist architecture. The TELUS World of Science moved in in 1984, and was renovated in 2011. Following the opening of TELUS Spark in 2011, Telus World of Science closed its doors. In 2018, an art museum known as Contemporary Calgary moved into the space. The system was installed following the new tenant.

System Specifications (2018-present)[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3X addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the boiler room. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Annunciators[edit | edit source]

There is an Edwards EST3-6ANN annunciator equipped with an LCDXL1 display at the main entrance.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

All notification appliances are EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no marking, set to 15cd).

There is one Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bell (6" gong) on an EST 403-5A-R (15cd) strobe plate left over, but it is disconnected.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

The pull stations are EST SIGA-270 addressable pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

The smoke detectors are EST SIGA2-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, mounted on SIGA-SB bases.

Modules[edit | edit source]

There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

EOLs[edit | edit source]

There are Edwards EOL-P1 end of line resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.

Former System Specifications (East Wing) (2000s-2011)[edit | edit source]

System Specifications
FACP: Notifier AFP-400
FACP Location: Unknown
System Type: Two-Stage Addressable
System Line Voltage: 120VAC
NAC Voltage: 24VDC
System Coding: 20BPM (Alert)
Temporal (Alarm)
Strobes Synchronized: No
Date of last known Upgrade: 2005
Year Decomissioned: 2011

FACP[edit | edit source]

The East Wing was protected by a Notifier AFP-400 addressable fire alarm system. The panel location was unknown. The system ran Notifier's CLIP addressable protocol, and was configured for two-stage operation. The alert coding was 20BPM, and the alarm coding was temporal.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

The notification appliances were Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bells (10" gong) on Wheelock RSSP-2415W-FR strobe plates (15cd)

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

The pull stations were Notifier MPS-950KB conventional two-stage pull stations. They were directly wired to Notifier FMM-101A addressable modules, behind each station.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

Not available.

Former System Specifcations (West Wing) (Early 2000s-2011)[edit | edit source]

System Specifications
FACP: Edwards EST2?
FACP Location: Unknown
System Type: Two-Stage Conventional
System Line Voltage: 120VAC
NAC Voltage: 24VDC
System Coding: 20BPM (first stage)
Continuous (GA)
Strobes Synchronized: Yes
Date of last known Upgrade: 2000s
Year Decomissioned: 2011

FACP[edit | edit source]

The West Wing was most likely protected by an Edwards EST2 conventional fire alarm system. The panel location was unknown. The system was configured for two-stage operation; first stage coding was 20BPM, with continuous in general alarm.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

The notification appliances were Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong), mostly on EST 403-5A-R "Integrity" strobe plates (15cd) and others mounted remotely.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

The pull stations were all Edwards 270P-SPO conventional two-stage pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

Not available.
