'Queensland Downs School' is a former elementary school located in the Queensland neighbourhood of Southeast Calgary. It was built in 1977, and was decommissioned in 2009. It is currently used for storage, and as a spare gym for the neighboring Wilma Hansen School. The system is original.

System Specifications

FACP

This is a hardwired system, therefore there is no panel.

Notification Appliances

The hallways, cafeteria and office have Simplex 4090-2 120VAC 6" vibrating bells. The gym, however, has Simplex 4080-2 10" vibrating bells. Since this is a hardwired system, the system does continuous.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Simplex 4251-20 "T-bar" pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Dicon 300BX ionization smoke alarms in the hallways, which were installed in the late 1990s. They are wired into the system, and trip the bells when activated.

Bonus Information

The school bell system in this school is also made by Simplex! It's a Simplex 6400.
