Max Bell Centre (also called Max Bell Arena) is an ice hockey arena in SE Calgary, located in Radisson Heights. It is located off of Barlow Trail SE. It was built in 1971, and had it's second arena built in 2007. It also hosted the 1988 Winter Olympics. The current fire alarm system is from 2007.

    • NOTE**: This building is currently undergoing extensive renovations, and the system will likely be replaced. The new system will likely be a Notifier NFS2-640C, based on the city installing Notifier in its renovated arenas in the past. Due to the city employees being unkind, greedy and frankly, defiant, all attempts and efforts to save the system have failed.

System Specifications

FACP

The fire alarm panel is a Mircom FX-2000. It is confirmed due to an annunciator located at the entrance, but the main panel is not visible; it's in some office. The FX-2000 was installed in 2018, replacing the older FX-2000 from the expansion in 2007.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances consist of Notifier KMS-6-24A motor bells on Mircom strobe plates in Ken Bracko arena, and Mircom BL-10B motor bells on Mircom strobe plates in Max Bell #2. The dressing room hallway of MBII has Mircom BL-6A motor bells on Mircom strobe plates. There is also an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (installed sometime around 2017, due to the white label) in a dressing room. The strobe plates' model numbers are yet to be confirmed.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations consist of Mircom MS-401AP addressable pull stations from 2007.
