| FACP: Notifier NFS2-3030C
FACP Location: Not Visible System Coding: 20BPM beep + custom message (First stage) Temporal bell tone + message (GA) Strobes Synchronized: Yes |
Bow Valley Square is an office building complex with four towers located at 205 5 Ave SW in Downtown Calgary. The first tower was completed in 1972, and the last in 1981. The fire alarm system is not original, though a few notification appliances in underground parking are likely original. There is also a 2 story shopping mall in the building, and the second floor has three +15 skywalk additions, Fifth Avenue Place to the North, Suncor Energy Center to the east, and Brookfield Place to the south.
System Specifications
FACP
The complex is protected by a networked Notifier NFS2-3030C addressable fire alarm system. There are many panels, however they are not visible. They replaced Notifier AFP1010 panels in the late 2000s. The system is equipped with the Digital Voice Command voice-evac system, runs Notifier's FlashScan addressable protocol, and configured for two-stage operation. First stage coding is a 20BPM beep with a custom message (30 seconds of beeps, two messages, repeat), and general alarm is a temporal motor bell tone, and a custom message (7 rounds of temporal, two messages, repeat).
Annunciators
There is a Notifier CPU2-3030D LCD annunciator with a TELH-1 firefighter’s phone in a custom cabinet by the lobby.
Notification Appliances
Complex
Most of the notification appliances are from System Sensor's "SpectrAlert Advance" line of products, unless otherwise noted. Most of the notification appliances are System Sensor SPSCWA (white, ceiling-mount) speaker/strobes and System Sensor SPCWA (white, ceiling-mount) speakers, usually in the pattern of speaker/strobe, speaker, speaker/strobe, speaker. The strobes are either set to 15 or 75cd, depending on location. Most are ceiling-mounted, however the mall hallways are wall-mounted. Some SPCWA speakers can be found for additional sound coverage. In the 4th tower on the 32nd floor, the elevator area has a System Sensor SPCWA speaker with a System Sensor SCWA (white, ceiling-mount) remote strobe next to it. There are also some System Sensor "SpectrAlert" SP2C2475A (white, ceiling-mount, 75cd) speaker/strobes scattered on the main level. The former Tim Hortons' space had a System Sensor SP2C2430 (white, ceiling-mount, 30cd) speaker/strobe.
Parkade
There are mainly System Sensor "SpectrAlert Advance" SPSR (red, wall-mount) speaker/strobes. On some pillars, there are System Sensor "SpectrAlert" SP200W (white, ceiling-mount) speakers on the ceiling next to the pillar, and a System Sensor "SpectrAlert" SC2475W (white, ceiling-mount, 75cd) remote strobe on the pillar, likely left over from the AFP1010 system. Throughout the parkade on the ceiling, there are System Sensor SC2475W strobes from the AFP1010 system, and a mix of speakers left over from previous systems. Most of them are System Sensor SP200W, but there are also Atlas-Soundolier SVT-72UC (red, 25V) weatherproof speakers, Wheelock ET-1010-R (red) vandal resistant speakers, System Sensor "SpectrAlert" SP201R (red, wall-mount) speakers. There is also one Atlas-Soundolier VTF-157UCR (red, flush-mount) re-entrant speaker on a wall at the parkade entrance, likely original.
The parkade elevator areas mostly have System Sensor SPSCWA (white, ceiling-mount) speaker/strobes, however there are a few with leftover System Sensor SP2C2475A (white, ceiling-mount, 75cd) speaker/strobes. One SPSCWA was installed as a deficiency replacement in 2017.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
Most of the pull stations are Notifier N-MPS-2A addressable two-stage pull stations from when the NFS2-3030C system was installed, as well as a few Notifier MPS-950KB two-stage pull stations left over. These pull stations are wired to FMM-101A modules, located directly behind them.
Automatic Detection Devices
All of the smoke detectors are Notifier FSP-851A addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, mounted on B210LP bases.
