The High River General Hospital Anne is a medical building located at 560 9 Avenue West, in High River, Alberta, Canada. The building was built in 1955 as a nurse’s residence, and was converted to offices in 1995. The fire alarm system was first upgraded in 1982, and most recently in 2015.
System Specifications (2015-present)
FACP
The building is protected by a Simplex 4010ES addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the basement mechanical room. The system runs Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.
Annunciators
There is a Simplex 4606-9102 annunciator paired with a Simplex 4602-9101 annunciator at the main entrance.
Notification Appliances
Most notification appliances are Simplex “TrueAlert” 4906-9127 horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd). All washrooms have Simplex 4906-9101 remote strobes (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd).
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All pull stations are Simplex 4099-9004CA addressable two-stage single-action pull stations. The general alarm key switches on these stations are not programmed, and do not function as this is a single-stage system.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are Simplex “TrueAlarm” 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors in most areas. Some mechanical and storage rooms have Simplex 4098-9733 addressable heat detectors. All detectors are mounted on Simplex 4098-9792 bases.
Modules
There are Simplex 4090-9002 addressable relay modules used for HVAC shutdown.

FACP
The building was protected by an Edwards 2280 conventional fire alarm system. The panel was located in the basement mechanical room. The system coding was continuous.
Annunciators
There was an Edwards annunciator at the main entrance.
Notification Appliances
All notification appliances were Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bells (6” gong) mounted on Edwards 403-5A-R strobe plates (15cd).
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All pull stations were Edwards 270-SPO conventional single-action pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There were Edwards 6250C conventional ionization smoke detectors throughout the building. There were Edwards 281C conventional 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors in all mechanical rooms.
