Banff Gondola is a tourist attraction in Banff, AB. It is a gondola ride on Sulphur Mountain with an amazing view. The main building is from 1997-98, but has had the current system since 2016, though all initiating devices amd most notification appliances are original. This page covers the main building. For the upper terminal, see [[Banff Gondola Upper Termina].
System Specifications
FACP
The building is protected by a Notifier NFS2-640C conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located in the Starbucks, next to an emergency exit and near a fireplace. The panel has two zone cards in it; a Notifier XP6-MA 6-zone smoke detector card, as well as a Notifier XP-10MA 10-zone card. The system coding is likely continuous. This panel replaced an Edwards 6616.
Notification Appliances
Most notification appliances are Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6" gong). These can be found in three different setups: Remotely, with no strobe, on an Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plate (15cd), and with an Edwards 202-5A-T remote strobe (15cd) next to it. By the main entrance, there is an Edwards MB6-24 motor bell (6" gong) as a deficiency replacement. Some areas have Edwards 202-5A-T remote strobes, and the gondola boarding area has an Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (10" gong), with a 202-5A-T strobe next to it.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All pull stations are Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are Edwards EDW1451A ionization smoke detectors throughout the building, as well as some System Sensor 5601A 135-degree fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors in the main lobby, restrooms, and other areas.
Recent Replacements
In 2021, the Edwards 280B-PL heat detectors were replaced with System Sensor 5601A heat detectors, due to a recall affecting the Edwards detectors. [[Category:Facilitie] [[Category:Facilitie]
