Greyhound Canada was a long-distance bus system that operated in Western Canada until 2018 and Eastern Canada in 2021. This particular building is located in the Sunalta Area of Calgary and once housed Greyhound's office for all of Western Canada. It now sits vacant. It was constructed in 1986 and despite the building appearing very dated and having multiple roof leaks, the fire alarm system is not original. The system is serviced by A K Brown Ltd.
System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm panel is a Simplex 4100U evidently installed sometime around 2010. It is located inside the West Entrance. It is single-stage, and when it goes into in alarm, it does continuous likely due to strobes being installed in the garage area and only running on two wires on the same NAC. There several zone cards installed however, only one zone connects to an unknown device. The system was likely in the process of converting to addressable when the panel was installed.
Booster Panels
There are 2 Simplex 4009-9002 conventional NAC extenders installed in the garage area. One at the south end in the maintenance shop and one on the North end outside a woman's locker room.
Notification Appliances
The devices consist of Simplex 2901-9330 10 inch vibrating bells with some newer Simplex 2901-9724 replacement motor bells behind grills. In the gates and bus area the mentioned bells are not behind grilles, but attached to Wheelock RSSP-24MCW-FR (multi-candela) strobe plates with one random one strangely being retrofitted with a System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" SRA (red, wall mount) remote strobe mounted below the bell, as a replacement for a failed strobe plate. All the bells in the garage area are 2901-9724.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
The pull stations are all Simplex 4099-9001 single action addressable pull stations. With break rods installed.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are mostly Simplex 4098-9733 addressable heat detectors for detection, with Simplex 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors installed in each stairwell. These were likely installed when the 4100U was. There is also Potter PS10 waterflow switches installed in several locations to monitor sprinklers.
