Oilfields General Hospital is a hospital located at 717 Government Road, in Black Diamond, Alberta, Canada. The hospital is owned and operated by Alberta Health Services. The hospital was built in 1984, and expanded in 1991. The fire alarm system was upgraded in 2012.

System Specifications (2012-present)

FACP

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the maintenance office. The system runs Edwards’ Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The alert coding is 20BPM, and the alarm coding is temporal.

Annunciators

There are Edwards EST3-LCDANN annunciators at all nurse’s stations and in the main entrance vestibule. All annunciators are equipped with Edwards LCDXL1 displays.

Booster Panels

There is an Edwards BPS6A 6-amp booster power supply located next to the main FACP.

Notification Appliances

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

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors in all corridors, patient rooms, elevator shafts, and some other areas.

Some areas mentioned above have Edwards SIGA-PD addressable photoelectric smoke detectors as deficiency replacements.

There are EST SIGA-HRS addressable 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors in some areas, including electrical rooms, storage rooms, telecom rooms, linen closets, and the ambulance bay.

All aforementioned detectors are mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.

There are EST "SuperDuct" SIGA-SD addressable photoelectric duct smoke detectors on all air handling units. The devices are located in the penthouse, and are equipped with EST SIGA-LED remote indicators.

There are Edwards 284B-PL conventional 194°F fixed-temperature heat detectors in all crawlspaces, the penthouse, and the basement mechanical room.

There are FDD CF-200-EWP conventional 200°F fixed-temperature explosion-proof heat detectors in the gas meter room and the oxygen storage room.

Modules

There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising all conventional heat detectors, the kitchen suppression system, and the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

There are EST SIGA-CR addressable relay modules serving various purposes, including elevator recall and fan shutdowns.

There are EST SIGA-IM addressable isolator modules on all SLCs.

EOLs

There are Edwards EOL-P1 end of line resistor plates on all circuits supervised by monitor modules, and all signal circuits.
