2160 78 Avenue NE is the address of Air Canada's ground support equipment building. It is the main service shop for all ground vehicles in Air Canada's fleet. It was built in the 1950s, but the system was installed in 2005.
System Specifications
FACP
The building is protected by a Simplex 4008 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance. When in alarm, the system codes all the horns to code 3, and synchronizes the strobes.
Notification Appliances
All notification appliances are System Sensor "SpectrAlert" P1224MCA horn/strobes (red, wall mount). They are set on 30 candela, and electromechanical tone.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
Most of the pull stations are Simplex 4099-9001 addressable, single action T-Bar IDNet pull stations. The paint booth, however, has Potter MPEX explosion-proof pull stations, wired to 4090-9001 addressable modules, most likely due to Simplex not making any addressable explosion-proof pull stations at the time.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are Simplex 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors and Simplex 4098-9734 addressable fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors in the offices, hallways, and low-ceiling areas in the main shop.
Bonus Information
The building will be demolished in 2028, and the staff of this site will be getting the system!
