The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology is a technical college/trades school located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This page will cover the South Learning Centre/Shaw Theatre building, located at 10604 Princess Elizabeth Ave NW #10824, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The building opened in 1996, and the fire alarm system is mostly original, with a recent upgrade.
System Specifications (1996-present)
FACP
The building is protected by a Simplex 4100ES addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule, and is equipped with the Color ES touchscreen interface. The system runs Simplex’s IDNet addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The evacuation signal is slow whoop followed by a custom message.
This panel was installed in 2023, replacing a 4100U w/InfoAlarm, which in turn replaced a Simplex 4100+ in the late 2000s. This panel is installed in the 4100+ cabinet.
