R.T. Alderman School is a junior high school located in the neighboorhood of Maple Ridge, SE Calgary. It teaches grades 5-9, and is part of the Calgary Board of Education. The school was built in 1983, but the system is not original to the school. User YYCsFireAlarmNimrod went here, but no longer attends. He has a couple of components from the former system, please read "Former System Specifications" for what he has.
System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm control panel is a Simplex 4100ES (addressable). The panel is located in the main entrance, and was installed in 2016. It replaced a Simplex 4002 from around 1989. The panel is a little bit overkill for the size of the school, but that may be because the 4002 had 32 zones. The company plans to replace the 4100ES with a 4007ES in the future.
Notification Appliances
All of the notification appliances are Simplex "Truealert ES" 49AV-WRF (red, wall) horn/strobes. These were installed in 2016 when the 4100ES was installed. YYCsFireAlarmNimrod was one of the first enthusiasts to ever hear these go off. They sound like the TrueAlert horns, but crossed with a Wheelock AS.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
The pull stations are Simplex 4099-9004 single-action addressable pull stations with an LED. Installed 2016 when the 4100ES was installed.
Automatic Detection Devices
The smoke detectors are Simplex "TrueAlarm" 4098-9754 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors. Installed 2016.
Former System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm panel was a 32-zone Simplex 4002 (conventional). It was installed around 1989-91, and was replaced in 2016 due to being too sensitive. The company that serviced the 4002 said it was one of the best-performing systems in Calgary. The 4002 was set to continuous for alarm.
Notification Appliances
The main notification appliances were Simplex 2901-9720 motor bells. In the gymnasium, however, were three Simplex 2901-9722 motor bells because of a louder ambient noise level. They were installed when the 4002 was installed, however in the cafeteria, there was an Amseco EXB-6-PV4 motor bell, as a replacement due to one of the 2901-9720 bells no longer functioning. YYCsFireAlarmNimrod was able to get a Simplex 2901-9720 and a 2901-9722, until a thief called Theo decided to steal his 2901-9720. (Theo, if you are reading this, you BETTER give the bell back, or else we will trade you for a broken alarm that you pay for.) He still has the 2901-9722, and it still works (tested June 19, 2020) These bells were removed in 2016 in favor of the new 4100ES system.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
The pull stations were Simplex 2099-9201 (but mistakenly written 2099-901) single action, conventional T-bar pull stations, which are also known as the Simplex 4251-20. Installed when the 4002 was installed, though it is possible they are original from 1983. They were removed in 2016 due to not being addressable. YYCsFireAlarmNimrod got two of these pull stations, but a stupid thief called Theo stole them as well. (Theo, you better give these back as well!)
Automatic Detection Devices
The smoke detectors when the 4002 was installed were Simplex 2098-9110 conventional ionization smoke detectors. A few detectors quit working over the years, and were replaced with Simplex 4098-9603 ionization conventional smoke detectors. All were replaced with the addressable TrueAlarms in 2016 due to not being addressable. YYCsFireAlarmNimrod still has one of the 2098-9110 smoke detectors!
