Walmart Supercentre (Royal Oak): Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:10, 6 February 2021

Walmart is a retail outlet chain. This specific location is in Royal Oak in NW calgary. It was built in 2003, and has its original system. Everything, except a few horn/strobes and a pull station are original.

System Specifications

FACP

The fire alarm panel is a brand new Simplex 4007ES. It was installed in 2021 as the replacement panel for the original EST QuickStart QS1. The cause of the replacement is unknown, but the permit issued for this was "fire alarm upgrades". The panel is located right at the entrance.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances were kept from the original fire alarm system. They are a mix of EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes and EST "Genesis" G1R-V75 (red, wall, no FIRE) remote strobes. Usually there are two horn/strobes and two remote strobes on each opposite side of a pole, though some are on walls. Some have the EST logo and some do not. The McDonald's has a G1R-HDVM installed in 2019 after the remodel, but it's upside down. Most of the notification appliances are original to the store.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations are all brand new Simplex 4099-9001 addressable single-action T-Bar pull stations. They were installed in 2021 after the system upgrade.

Automatic Detection Devices

None noticed so far.

Former System Specifications

FACP

The original fire alarm panel was an EST QuickStart QS1, installed in 2003 when the store was built. It had many troubles during the remodel of the McDonald's in 2019. The system is serviced by Johnson Controls. The system got upgraded in 2021.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances were the EST Genesis G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes and EST "Genesis" G1R-V75 (red, wall, no FIRE) remote strobes that are still installed today, despite the system upgrade.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations were all EST SIGA-270 addressable pull stations. Most were original from 2003, but there were two from 2011-2013 (EST/GE). These pull stations were replaced when the system was upgraded due to not being compatible with the 4007ES.

Automatic Detection Devices

All smoke detectors were EST SIGA-PS photoelectric addressable smoke detectors, original from 2003. These were replaced due to not being compatible with Simplex.
