System Specifications

FACP: Simplex 4100U FACP Location: Northeast Entrance System Type: Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 25VRMS System Coding: Slow Whoop + Message Date of last known Upgrade: 2019 Year Opened: 1981

The University of Calgary is a public university located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This page will cover the Kinesiology B building, which houses the Jack Simpson Gym, the gymnastics centre, and the climbing centre, along with several classrooms and a fitness centre. The building opened in 1981, and the fire alarm system is mostly original. The main FACP was replaced in 2019.

System Specifications (2019-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Simplex 4100U conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located at the northeast/MacEwan Student Centre entrance. The system is equipped with voice evacuation. The system plays a whoop tone, followed by the default Simplex message. The 4100U was originally installed in 2006 as an auxiliary panel for the original Simplex 2120, and everything was moved to the 4100U in 2019. The 2120 cabinet remains, however is gutted.

Notification Appliances

Most areas have Simplex “LifeAlarm” 2902-9734 remote speakers (beige, flush-mount, 25V). Areas with high ceilings and outdoor areas have SImplex 2902-9732 remote speakers (red, surface-mount, 25V). Some areas have Simplex 2902-9711 re-entrant speakers (red, surface-mount, 25V) as deficiency replacements.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Simplex 4251-20 conventional single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Simplex 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors mounted on 4098-9792 bases. These were installed in 2006.

-The '''University of Calgary''' is a public university in Calgary, and it has many interesting fire alarm systems. This page covers the '''Kinesiology B''' wing, which is right next to [[University of Calgary Kinesiology A|Kinesiology A]]. Same building, but different sections. This one, unlike [[University of Calgary Kinesiology A|Kinesiology A]], has a voice-evac system. (Edit 9/4/2021: Kinesiology A received a system upgrade, and is now fully addressable with voice evac.)  This block was built in 1981, according to a plaque in the building. The fire alarm panel is not original, but almost everything else is.
-== System Specifications ==
-==== FACP ====
-The fire alarm control panel is a Simplex 4100U that started out as an auxiliary panel for extra detectors. It was wired into and also replaced the original '''Simplex 2120'''. The 4100U was installed in 2006 to cover extra detectors because they could not wire any more points to the 2120. The 4100U officially replaced the 2120 in 2019. The 2120 cabinet is now gutted, but it still remains. The panel is located at the front entrance.
-==== Notification Appliances ====
-The notification appliances are all original, they are mainly Simplex "LifeAlarm" 2902-9734 flush-mount speakers, seen throughout the whole building. The other notification appliances are Simplex "LifeAlarm" 2902-9732 surface mount speakers, also original. For outdoor notification, there are Simplex 2902-9732 speakers scattered outside the building, with one Simplex 2902-9711 re-entrant speaker outside one entrance, as a replacement. It appears to be from the late 1990s, according to the label style. There appears to be no visual alarms in this building.
