Chaparral School is an elementary school located at 480 Chaparral Drive Southeast, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building is owned and operated by the Calgary Board of Education. This school has 12 classrooms, but has been expanded with 8 portable classrooms added on. The building opened in 2006, and the fire alarm system is original.

System Specifications (2006-present)

FACP

The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QS1 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the gymnasium data room. The system runs EST's Signature-series addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Annunciators

There is an EST QSA-1-S annunciator in the main entrance vestibule, with an EST QS1-CPU-1 display and an SL30 zone annunciation card installed.

Notification Appliances

All indoor notification appliances are EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no lettering). For outdoor notification, there is an Edwards "Integrity" 757-5A-T horn/strobe (red, wall-mount, 15cd) outside the main entrance. This horn/strobe is being used as a remote strobe, and the horn is disconnected.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are EST SIGA-278 addressable single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building, mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases. The 8 portable classrooms have Edwards 282B-PL mechanical fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors in them.

 ==== FACP ====
-The fire alarm control panel is an EST QuickStart QS1 which was installed during construction. There is an annunciator at the front entrance, but the main panel is not visible; it's in the gymnasium data room.

 ==== Notification Appliances ====
-All of the indoor notification appliances are EST Genesis G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE marking) horn/strobes throughout, all original from 2006. Outside the entrance, there is an EST Integrity 757-7A-T horn/strobe, but it has a Genesis horn behind it, and not the regular integrity horn surprisingly. The strobe is still functional despite the different horn. This was probably done because the building owner may have requested the same sound of the alarm inside, but there was no weatherproof Genesis devices at the time, so they had no other choice but to do that.
