Northland Village is a two-floor shopping mall in northwest Calgary. It is located at the intersection of Shaganappi Trail NW and Crowchild Trail NW. It was built in 1979, renovated in 2003, but has had the current fire alarm system setup since 2005 after a renovation.

System Specifications

FACP

The mall has Siemens MXL addressable fire alarm panels installed in 2005. They likely replaced older Cerberus Pyrotronics MXL panels from 2003. So far, one panel has been found at the entrance near Cora.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances are mainly Siemens U-MMT-S17 multi-tone horn/strobes installed in 1998 and 2003. Some are ceiling models and most in the hallways have fake wall orientation on the original "FIRE". The Walmart has Cerberus branded variants of the ceiling U-MMT-S17. Replacement notification appliances in the hallways and a few stores include Siemens U-MMT-MCS-B multi-tone horn/strobes installed in 2005, Siemens MT-MC-R-B (rebranded Wheelock MT-24MCW) multi-tone horn/strobes, and a few Siemens ZH-MC-R (rebranded Wheelock ZNS-24MCW) horn/strobes. The Best Buy has Siemens U-MMT-MCS-W-B white multi-tone horn/strobes installed in 2005, and the Walmart has one Edwards 882-2B horn at the back. It is unknown if it is in use still, as there is a Siemens U-MMT-S17 about 12 feet from it.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations are mainly Siemens HMS-2S two-stage pull stations from 2005, but the Walmart has Cerberus MSI-30B two-stage pull stations installed in 1998. Some Cerberus pull stations can be found as leftover pull stations before the current MXL.

Automatic Detection Devices

The smoke detectors are Siemens FirePrint FP-11 multi-sensor addressable smoke and heat detectors, installed in 2005 when the MXL was.
