More actions
In October 2018, there was a career fair held at the BMO Centre. There were two tables regarding fire alarm work, one was for CFAA (Canadian Fire Alarm Association) and one was for a Tyco fire alarm career. Both of those had temporary mini fire alarm systems for demonstration purposes only.
Note: These systems were for demonstration purposes only, and did not actually serve to warn people of fire. NEVER pull a fire alarm unless there is actually a fire emergency. The people on this wiki are not responsible for your actions if you get fined.
System Specifications (CFAA)
| System Specifications |
|---|
| FACP: Notifier NFS-320SYS System Type: Addressable System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VDC System Coding: Temporal Strobes Synchronized: Yes, SS |
FACP
The panel for this demo system was a Notifier NFS-320SYS addressable fire alarm system. The system ran Notifier's FlashScan addressable protocol, and the system coding was temporal. It was specially programmed for the demo system.
Notification Appliances
Both notification appliances were from System Sensor's "SpectrAlert Advance" line of products. There was a System Sensor MHWZA mini-horn (white, silenceable), which sounded when the pull station was activated, and a System Sensor P2RA horn/strobe (red, wall-mount, set to low volume, 15/75cd), which would sound if a smoke or heat detector was activated.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
The pull station was a Notifier NBG-12LX addressable dual action pull station. When it was activated, it would sound the mini-horn.
Automatic Detection Devices
The automatic detection devices consisted of two Notifier FSP-851A addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, and a Notifier FST-851RA thermal addressable heat detector. When one of these were activated, the horn/strobe would go off.
System Specifications (Tyco)
| System Specifications |
|---|
| FACP: Simplex 4007ES System Type: Addressable System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 29VDC System Coding: Temporal Strobes Synchronized: Yes, IDNAC |
FACP
The panel for this demo system was a Simplex 4007ES addressable fire alarm system. The system ran Simplex's IDNet addressable initiating protocol and IDNAC addressable signaling protocol, and the system coding was temporal.
Annunciators
There was a Simplex 4606-9202 touchscreen color screen annunciator right next to the panel, and a graphic annunciator underneath.
Notification Appliances
Both notification appliances are from Simplex's "TrueAlert ES" line of addressable products. They were a Simplex 59AV-WRF addressable LED horn/strobe (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd), and a Simplex 59VO-WRF addressable remote strobe (red, wall-mount, set to 15cd). The horn/strobe had tape covering the horn grill, due to the loudness of the alarm and the fact that it was for an expo.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
The pull station was a Simplex 4099-9004 addressable single action pull station.
Automatic Detection Devices
The automatic detection devices consisted of a Simplex "TrueAlarm" 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detector, a Simplex 4098-9733 addressable fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detector, and a Simplex 4098-9754 addressable multi-sensor heat and smoke detector; this was mounted on a 4098-9795 sounder base. There were also modules and relays for simulating a waterflow system.
Modules
There were Simplex 4090-9001 addressable monitor modules supervising simulated sprinkler flow and tamper switches. There was also a Simplex 4090-9002 addressable relay module simulating an HVAC fan shutdown. There was also a 4090-9116 IDNet isolator module on the SLC.
