System Specifications

FACP: Edwards 2280 FACP Location: Unknown System Type: Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VDC System Coding: Continuous/Temporal Date of last known Upgrade: Mid-late 2000s Year Opened: 1960

Cochrane Arena is an ice hockey arena located at 609 Fourth Avenue North, in Cochrane, Alberta, Canada. The arena opened in 1960, and was the first arena in the town of Cochrane. The fire alarm system is not original.

System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by an Edwards 2280 conventional fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown, and was installed in 1990. The system coding is continuous for all bells, and temporal for all horn/strobes.

Annunciators

There is an Edwards annunciator at the main entrance, model unknown.

Notification Appliances

Dressing Room Hallway

All notification appliances are Edwards "Genesis" G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no lettering, set to 15cd) mounted on Edwards G1TR trim plates (red). These were installed in the mid-2000s for some unknown reason.

Arena/Lobby

The main lobby has an Edwards "Durabel" 6100D vibrating bell (6" gong), which remained from the previous system. The main arena has a Wheelock MB-G6-24 motor bell (6" gong), as a deficiency replacement for a Durabel.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Most pull stations are Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations, installed with the 2280. Several areas have Mircom MS-401 conventional single-action pull stations as deficiency replacements. There is a Notifier NFM-950B conventional single-action pull station next to the main entrance as a deficiency replacement, and a Notifier MPS-950B conventional single-action pull station in the main arena as a deficiency replacement.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Edwards EC30U-3 conventional photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the building.

Code Violations

This building has horn/strobes and bells mixed. This is against code, as according to CAN-ULC codes, the sound of an alarm signal must be uniform.
