There are Edwards 364 “Fire Horn” horns in the parkade, left over from the original system. They were the original notification appliances, which gives the impression that the system was Edwards. Once the Simplex system was installed, the horns were repurposed, and are now used as refrigerant alarms for the mechanical room. They are still in use, despite being over 60 years old.

736 8 Avenue SW (AKA Boysen Petro Fina) is an 11-storey office building in downtown Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Like many buildings of its kind, it currently sits mostly vacant due to the economic crash currently occurring. It was built in 1958, and the fire alarm system is mostly from the 1980s, with replacement parts installed as deficiencies occur. Due to an agreement between the Wiki and the servicing company, the servicing info will not be disclosed.

System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by a Mircom FlexNet QX-5000 hybrid-addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the CACF room, near the main entrance. The addressable portion of the system runs Mircom's CLIP addressable protocol. The system is equipped with voice evacuation, however the messages and/or tones are unknown at this time.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are Simplex “LifeAlarm” 2902-9732 remote speakers (red, surface-mount, 25V).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Most pull stations are Simplex 2099-9201 conventional single-action pull stations. There is a Mircom MS-401 conventional single-action pull station outside the CACF room as a deficiency replacement.

Automatic Detection Devices

The elevator lobbies and some other areas have Mircom MIX-2251B addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, mounted on System Sensor B210LPA low-profile bases.

Bonus Information

There are Edwards 364 “Fire Horn” horns in the parkade, left over from the original system. They were the original notification appliances, which gives the impression that the system was Edwards. Once the Simplex system was installed, the horns were repurposed, and are now used as refrigerant alarms for the mechanical room. They are still in use, despite being over 60 years old. [[]
