The Whitehorn Multi Services Centre is a City of Calgary building located at 3705 35 Street Northeast, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building was built in 1982 as the head office for Nortel, and was taken over by the city in the 2000s. The fire alarm system was fully upgraded in the early 2010s.
System Specifications (2010s-present)
FACP
The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The system is networked, and the main FACP is located in the fire alarm panel room. The system runs Edwards’ Signature addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The system is configured for two-stage operation. The alert signal is a 20BPM tone, and the alarm signal is a temporal tone; both signals have voice messages.
Boosters
There is an Edwards BPS10A booster power supply in a data closet.
Notification Appliances
Most areas have a mix of Edwards “Genesis” G4-S7 remote speakers (white, wall-mount, 70V) and Edwards GC-S7 remote speakers (white, ceiling-mount, 70V).
Renovated areas have a mix of Edwards G4SVWF speaker/strobes (white, wall-mount, set to 15cd) and Edwards GCSVWF speaker/strobes (white, ceiling-mount, set to 15cd).
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All pull stations are EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors in some areas. Other areas have EST SIGA-HFS addressable fixed-temperature and EST SIGA-HRS addressable fixed/rate-of-rise heat detectors. All detectors are mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.
Modules
There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system’s tamper and flow switches.
EOLs
There are Edwards EOL-P1 end-of-line resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.
