The Calgary Tower is a lookout tower and tourist attraction located at 101 9 Avenue SW, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The tower is known for its breathtaking views, glass floor, and revolving restaurant. The tower was constructed in 1968, and was the tallest building in Western Canada at the time, standing at 191 meters tall. The fire alarm system was fully upgraded in 2008.
System Specifications (2008-present)
Please note that some system details are unknown at this time. This page should not be used for official purposes.
FACP
The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 networked addressable fire alarm system. There are likely between 5 and 10 nodes on this system; the locations of these are unknown. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The system is configured for two-stage operation. The alert tone is likely 20BPM, and the alarm tone is likely temporal. The system plays messages for each stage according to the tower's website (see sources below).
Notification Appliances
Most areas have Edwards "Genesis" G4-S7VM speaker/strobes (white, wall-mount, 70V, set to 15cd).
The restrooms and possibly other areas have Edwards G1-VM remote strobes (white, wall-mount, no lettering, set to 15cd).
