David Cameron Elementary is an elementary school located at 675 Meaford Ave, Victoria, BC. It is part of the Sooke School District. It was originally built in 1972, before being rebuilt in 1995 except for the gymnasium. The fire alarm system is mostly original from the rebuild. The school is currently looking to demolish the portables, and the system is currently being upgraded as an expansion is taking place.
Former System Specifications (1995-2024)
FACP
The building was protected by an EST QuickStart QS4 conventional fire alarm system. The panel was located in the electrical room. The system coding was continuous.
This panel replaced the original EST ESA2000 around 2012. The cabinet remains, but is decommissioned.
Boosters
There were three Edwards EBPS6A 6.5A remote booster power supplies. One was in the ESA2000 cabinet, the other two were next to the QS4.
Annunciators
There was an Edwards EST-SRA4 remote LCD annunciator in the lobby.
Notification Appliances
Main Building
Most notification appliances were Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10” gong) with EST 202-8A-001 remote strobes (red, wall-mount, 110cd) next to them. The mentioned bells were also installed remotely in one hallway (with a 202-8A-001 in between), in the electrical room and air handling room.
The library contained one Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bell (10” gong) and four EST 202-8A-001 remote strobes (red, wall-mount, 110cd).
There were some Edwards MB10-24 motor bells (10” gong) installed as deficiency replacements.
Each classroom and washroom contained an EST 202-8A-001 remote strobe, as the school was built for hard-of-hearing students.
There were some EST “Integrity” 202-8A-T remote strobes (red, wall-mount, 110cd) installed as deficiency replacements.
Portables
Portable 1 had a Simplex 2901-9724 motor bell (10” gong), and Portable 2 had an Edwards MB10-24 motor bell (10” gong).
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All pull stations in the main building were Edwards 270-SPOE conventional pull stations.
The portables contained newer Edwards 270-SPO pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There were Edwards 6250C conventional ionization smoke detectors located throughout.
There were also Edwards 281C rate-of-rise/fixed heat detectors in some areas.
The portables contained System Sensor 5601A rate-of-rise/fixed heat detectors, one was also installed in a storage room in the main building as a deficiency replacement in 2021.
The air handling units had Edwards 6265B-001 duct detector housings with 6264B ionization smoke detector heads in them; these were connected to 6262B-001 keyswitch test stations.
Bonus Information
There is a System Sensor “L-Series” P2RLA horn/strobe in the building, but it is not hooked up to the fire alarm system.
