Jasper Inn & Suites

Jasper Inn & Suites is a 3-star hotel located at 98 Geikie St, Jasper, AB. It features an indoor pool, many suites and spans two floors. It was formerly owned by Best Western, when INNHotels bought them in the last few years. The hotel was built in 1971.

Three buildings have systems; the main office building and the hotel wing in it, the Inn Grill/pool building, both built in 1972, and the Maligne Suites, built in the late 1980s-early 1990s. The other areas are protected by Kidde 900-0119 talking ionization smoke & carbon monoxide alarms, as they are outdoor suites.

The fire alarm systems underwent panel upgrades in the 2000s, and NAC upgrades in 2020. The pull stations in two buildings remain original.

System Specifications (Reception & Cedar Suites) (2000s-present)

System Specifications
FACP: Grinnell Series M-1000 FACP Location: Stairwell near Reception System Type: Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VFWR System Coding: Temporal (self-coded) Strobes Synchronized: No Date of last known Upgrade: 2022 Year Opened: 1972

FACP

This building is protected by a Grinnell Series M-1000 conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located by the stairwell adjacent to reception, which is accessible by an exterior doorway. It has about 20 zones in use, and is in an Edwards Custom 6500 cabinet. The system coding is most likely continuous, but the notification appliances are self-coded to temporal.

The Series M-1000 replaced an Edwards Custom 6500 in the 2000s.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances except two are System Sensor “L-Series” P2RLA horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd, electromechanical). These were installed in 2020, replacing Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong).

Above the panel in the stairwell, there is a System Sensor PA400SWA mini-horn (red, silenceable) with a System Sensor SS-24 strobe beside it (red, wall-mount, 1.5cd), the only notification appliances to remain untouched after the upgrade.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Edwards 270-SPO conventional pull stations, installed in the mid-1980s.

Automatic Detection Devices

Most smoke detectors are System Sensor “i3” C2W-BA photoelectric smoke detectors.

There is a Mircom “i3” 2W-BA photoelectric smoke detector by the panel, installed as a deficiency replacement for a System Sensor 1412A ionization smoke detector in 2022.

System Specifications
FACP: Mircom Series 1000? FACP Location: Unknown System Type: Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VFWR System Coding: Temporal Strobes Synchronized: No Date of last known Upgrade: 2020 Year Opened: 1972

FACP

The building is protected by a Mircom Series 1000 conventional fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown, but is confirmed from the other two buildings. The system coding is likely continuous, as the notification appliances are self-coded to temporal.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances except for the upper two floors are are System Sensor “L-Series” P2RLA horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, bilingual, set to electromechanical/15cd).

The upper two floors have System Sensor “SpectrAlert Advance” P2RA horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd), likely new old stock.

These horn/strobes were installed in 2020, replacing a mix of Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6” gong) and Edwards “Durabel” 6100D vibrating bells (6” gong).

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Edwards 270-SPO conventional pull stations. Most are original, mixed with the mid-1980s variant, along with a few second-generation variants.

Automatic Detection Devices

The smoke detectors are all Mircom “i3” 2W-BA photoelectric conventional smoke detectors.

The laundry hallway contains Mircom 5601A fixed-temperature/rate of rise mechanical heat detectors.

The pool hallway contains one Mircom TD-135 fixed-temperature heat detector. These replaced Edwards 281C fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors after a recall.

System Specifications (Maligne Suites) (2000s-present)

System Specifications
FACP: Mircom Series 1000 FACP Location: Main Entrance Vestibule System Type: Conventional System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VFWR System Coding: Temporal Strobes Synchronized: Yes Date of last known Upgrade: 2022 Year Opened: Late 80s-early 90s

FACP

This building is protected by a Mircom Series 1000 conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule. The system coding is continuous, as the notification appliances are self-coded to temporal. The panel was installed sometime before 2015.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are System Sensor “L-Series” P2RLA-E horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, English only, set to electromechanical, temporal, 15cd).

These were installed in 2020 replacing Notifier KMS-6-24VDC/P motor bells (6” gong).

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Notifier FM-950B conventional pull stations. These are the original models, with the black labels.

Automatic Detection Devices

The smoke detectors are Mircom “i3” 2W-BA conventional photoelectric smoke detectors.
