Lowe's Home Improvement is a chain of home improvement stores throughout Canada. This particular location is located at 90 Crowfoot Way, Calgary, AB. It was built in 1995 as Rona, and remodeled in 2017 to become a Lowe's, with the fire alarm system not being affected. The fire alarm system is mostly original, with parts replaced as deficiencies occur.
System Specifications
FACP
The store is protected by a Notifier NFS2-640C conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located behind the front customer service desk at the entrance. This panel has multiple Notifier XP6-MA zone modules in it to make it conventional. The system coding is likely continuous.
The NFS2-640C replaced an EST ESA2000 in 2014.
Notification Appliances
Most notification appliances are the original Wheelock MBS-G10-24 motor bell/strobes (10" gong, 1.5cd). There is one outside under the ceiling and is very weathered out, with the strobe yellow and faded.
The other original notification appliances in the store are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10" gong), and can be found scattered, likely for more coverage.
The garden centre has Edwards 439D-10AWC bells with EST "Integrity" 202-5A-001 (red, 15cd) strobes under them.
There are two Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bells (10" gong) on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW (red, multi-candela) strobe plates, beside the panel, and by the checkouts, installed as deficiency replacements.
At the back of the store by aisle 43, there is a Wheelock MB-G10-24 motor bell (10" gong) on a Wheelock RSSP-2415W (15cd) strobe plate that was installed as a deficiency replacement prior to 2007.
In the "cut shop", there is a Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bell (10" gong) installed as a deficiency replacement, mounted on the original Wheelock strobe plate.
In 2018, approximately four Simplex 2901-9724 motor bells (10" gong) on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plates (multi-candela, red, set to 15cd) were installed as deficiency replacements for MBS-G10-24 bell/strobes. One is facing downward.
