System Specifications

FACP: EST QuickStart QS4 FACP Location: Side Entrance System Type: Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VFWR System Coding: Temporal? Date of last known Upgrade: 2006 Year Opened: 1980s

Gander Mall is a shopping mall located at 132 Bennett Drive, in Gander, Newfoundland, Canada. It is the largest mall in the town of Gander. This mall has a very similar design to the Lewisporte Mall, and the fire alarm system is fairly similar too. It contains several anchor stores including Sport Chek and Canadian Tire. The mall opened in the 1980s, and the fire alarm system is original with the exception of the main FACP and some pull stations.

System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QS4 conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located at one of the entrances. This panel likely replaced a Pyrotronics System 3. The system coding is likely temporal.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are Faraday 3560 vibrating bells (10” gong).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Most pull stations are Pyrotronics/Pyr-A-Larm MS-51B conventional single-action pull stations. Some areas have Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations as deficiency replacements.

Automatic Detection Devices

None noticed.

 ====FACP====
-The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QS4 conventional fire alarm system.   The panel is located at one of the entrances, and was installed in about 2006.  This panel likely replaced a Pyrotronics System 3.  This panel has several EST ZB16-4 zone cards in it to allow it to communicate with conventional devices.  When in alarm, the system likely does code 3.

 ====Pull Stations====
-Most pull stations are Pyrotronics/Pyr-A-Larm MS-51B conventional pull stations.  Some of these have failed over time, and were replaced with Edwards 270-SPO conventional “teardrop” pull stations.
