System Specifications

FACP: Edwards EST3X FACP Location: Unknown System Type: Addressable/Hybrid System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VDC System Coding: Temporal Strobes Synchronized: Yes Date of last known Upgrade: Late 2010s Year Opened: 1944

Catholic Central High School is a high school in Lethbridge, AB. It teaches grades 10 through 12. The school was built in 1944, but the fire alarm system is not original.

System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3X addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown. The system runs Edwards' Signature-series addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are Edwards "Integrity" 757-5A-T horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd). Some areas have Edwards "PowerSaver Integrity" 757H-15PS horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Most pull stations are Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations. Some areas have EST SIGA-270 addressable single-action pull stations as deficiency replacements. The conventional pull stations are likely wired to EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building, mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.

Bonus Information

There is an Edwards 2280 conventional fire alarm panel installed near the gymnasium, however it is not used, and is powered down.

 ==== FACP ====
-The fire alarm panel is an EST3X. It was installed pretty recently, although it is unknown when it was actually installed. It most likely replaced an EST2 judging by the logos on the smoke detectors. The main panel is at the front entrance. There is an Edwards 2280 left over in front of the boys changerooms, although it is not in use anymore and has been powered off.

 ==== Notification Appliances ====
-The notification appliances are mainly first generation EST "Integrity" 757-5A-T (red, 15cd) horn/strobes. They were installed around 1997 to 2001, as they are the pre-enhanced ones. There are also a few EST "PowerSaver Integrity" 757H-15PS (red, 15cd) horn/strobes, unknown when they were put in.

-The pull stations are mainly Edwards 270-SPO pull-stations. They are from the 1990s, likely when the 2280 was in service. A few replacement pull stations are 2000s EST SIGA-270 addressable pull stations, from the previous system.
