'''Banff Gondola''' is a tourist attraction in Banff, AB. This page covers the upper terminal at the end of the gondola line. The original building was built in 1957, but had a renovation in 1997, and was majorly redeveloped in 2016. The current upper terminal building was completed in September 2016, has four floors, and has all of the original system components. The original upper terminal had 3 floors.

The gondola boarding and loading area has System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" P2RK (red, wall, weatherproof) horn/strobes and System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" P2RA (red, wall) horn/strobes, the only non-Wheelock notification appliances in the building. They are there because the SpectrAlert Advance series can get to as loud as 101 dB, and they need to be heard over the machine noise.

Banff Gondola is a tourist attraction in Banff, AB. This page covers the upper terminal at the end of the gondola line. The original building was built in 1957, but had a renovation in 1997, and was majorly redeveloped in 2016. The current upper terminal building was completed in September 2016, has four floors, and has all of the original system components. The original upper terminal had 3 floors.

System Specifications (New Upper Terminal)

FACP

The building is protected by a Notifier NFS2-640C addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown. The system runs Notifier's FlashScan addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Notification Appliances

Main Terminal

The notification appliances are a mix of Wheelock "Exceder" HSWC horn/strobes (white, ceiling-mount, set to 15cd) and Wheelock HNWC remote horns (white, ceiling-mount). Some areas have Wheelock HSW horn/strobes (white, wall-mount, set to 15cd). The stairwells have Wheelock HNW remote horns (white, wall-mount).

Balconies

The notification appliances are a mix of Wheelock "Exceder": HSW horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd) and Wheelock HNR remote horns (red, wall-mount).

Loading Area

All notification appliances are System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" P2RKA weatherproof horn/strobes (red, wall-mount).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Notifier NBG-12LX addressable dual-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Notifier FSP-851A addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building. These are mounted on System Sensor B210LPA low-profile bases in most areas, and on System Sensor B200SRA sounder bases in some areas.

Year Decommissioned: 2016

FACP

The building was likely protected by an EST ESA-2000 conventional fire alarm system. The panel location was unknown. The system coding was likely continuous.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances were Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd). The hallway outside the store had an Edwards "Durabel" 6100D vibrating bell (6" gong) mounted on an Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plate (15cd). The store had an Edwards "Integrity" 692-5A-HSR mini horn/strobe (red, wall-mount). The gondola loading area had Edwards 757-5A-T horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd).
