Mount Royal University is a medium-sized university located at 4825 Mount Royal Gate SW, Calgary, Alberta. This page will cover the main building, located on the Lincoln Park Campus. It was built in 1972, and the fire alarm system was upgraded in the 2000s.
System Specifications
FACP
The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panels are located in the main CACF room on the second floor, and are part of a campus-wide network. The system runs EST’s Signature addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice-evacuation. The system is also configured for two-stage operation. The alert signal is a 20BPM 1kHz tone on the speakers followed by a custom message, and the alarm signal activates the horn/strobes, self-coded to temporal.
Accessories
There is an EST “FireWorks” graphic computer in the CACF room.
Notification Appliances
There are EST “Genesis” GC-S7VM speaker/strobes (white, ceiling-mount, no marking, set to 15cd) throughout. These play the alert signal.
