Year Opened: 1959

The Kildare is a 2 story + basement apartment building located in the Beltline district of Calgary, AB. It was built in 1959, however the system is not original.

System Specifications

FACP

The complex is protected by a 3-wire, 120V Hardwired fire alarm system, meaning that there is no panel therefore the system coding is continuous.

Notification Appliances

The notification appliances consist of Edwards "Durabel" 6000D (6-inch) 120VAC vibrating bells. Installed sometime in the 1960s at the earliest, and the early 1970s at the latest.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The pull stations are mostly Edwards 270-SPO single action pull stations, with one Edwards 270-GAO two-stage pull station, which was likely in the truck at the time of installation despite not being two-stage. There is also a newer Mircom MS-401 likely installed sometime in the 2000s as a deficiency replacement.

Automatic Detection Devices

As with most 120VAC apartment systems, this one has American Sensor ESA5011 120V hardwired smoke detectors with an internal relay.
