FACP Location: Main Entrance Vestibule
System Type: Addressable

Calgary Co-op is a chain of grocery stores in the Calgary area. This particular store is located at #100 250 Shawville Blvd SE, Calgary, AB. It was built in 1991, and renovated in about 2016. The current fire alarm system is from 2016, and the previous system was from around 2006.

For some unknown reason, they are basically the same. No details are known about the original system.

System Specifications (2016-present)

Despite the previous system being almost exactly the same, every device was replaced with a newer variant.

FACP

The building is protected by an EST QuickStart QS1 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule. The system runs EST's Signature addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances are all from EST's "Genesis" line of products.

Most notification appliances are EST G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd, no marking).

There are also some EST GC-HDVM horn/strobes (white, ceiling mount, no marking, set to 30cd).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are EST SIGA-270 addressable single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors in some areas, mounted on SIGA-SB bases.

Modules

There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

-The current fire alarm panel is an EST QuickStart QS1 from 2016. It replaced a 2006 variant following a renovation. It is unknown why they replaced the panel with another identical panel in the same spot, as they could've saved money by just wiring the new devices into the original panel. The system does code-3 in alarm, as this is the only coding that the notification appliances can do without significant modifications.

-The notification appliances are all from EST's "Genesis" line of products. They mostly consist of EST G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes, and some EST GC-HDVM (white, ceiling, no FIRE) ceiling-mount horn/strobes. These were also installed in 2016, replacing older variants.

-The previous fire alarm panel was also an EST QuickStart QS1, but from 2006. It is unknown why this panel was replaced in 2016, but possibly a CPU fault during reprogramming.
