Royal Tyrrell Museum is a paleontology and dinosaur museum in Drumheller. It is also Canada's only museum that is only for prehistoric life. The museum is also a big tourist attraction for Alberta. It was built in 1985, but has had its current fire alarm system since 2016 after an expansion.

System Specifications
FACP: EST3 System Type: Addressable System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VDC Date of last known Upgrade: 2016 Year Opened: 1985

System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by an EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located at the main entrance. The system runs EST's Signature-series addressable protocol, and does code 3 in alarm.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd), mounted on EST G1RT-FIRE trim plates. The Cretaceous Gardens have EST "Genesis" WG4RF-HVMC weatherproof horn/strobes (red, wall-mount).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are EST SIGC-270B addressable bilingual single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are EST SIGA2-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building.

Former System Specifications

System Specifications

FACP: Siemens MXL System Type: Addressable (Two-Stage) System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VDC Date of last known Upgrade: N/A Year Decommissioned: 2016

FACP

The building was protected by a Siemens MXL addressable fire alarm system. The panel was located near the main entrance. The system was two-stage, and did 20BPM in first stage, followed by code 3 in general alarm.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances on the MXL were Siemens U-MMT-MCS-W-B multi tone horn/strobes. They were replaced in 2016 with Genesis horn/strobes.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations were Siemens HMS-2S addressable two-stage pull stations.

+The building is protected by an EST3 addressable fire alarm system.  The panel is located at the main entrance.  The system runs EST's Signature-series addressable protocol, and does code 3 in alarm.
-The fire alarm panel is an EST3, installed in 2016. It replaced a Siemens MXL system from 2003. This system, unlike the MXL, is not two-stage. The panel is at the front entrance, and has had two supervisories in July 2019.
 ==== Notification Appliances ====
+Most notification appliances are EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd), mounted on EST G1RT-FIRE trim plates.  The Cretaceous Gardens have EST "Genesis" WG4RF-HVMC weatherproof horn/strobes (red, wall-mount).
-The notification appliances seen throughout the museum are EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes on G1RT-FIRE (FIRE lettering) trim plates. They replaced Siemens U-MMT-MCS-W-B horn/strobes. In the "Cretaceous Gardens", there are EST WG4RN-HVMC (red, no FIRE) horn/strobes. For outdoor notification, there is an EST CS405-7A-T "Integrity" weatherproof strobe. There is also an Edwards 340D Adaptabel from 1985 under it, but it hasn't been in use for a while. It was part of the original system.

+There are EST SIGA2-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building.
-There are EST SIGA2-PS smoke detectors seen throughout.
