The Crowfoot Library is a public library located at 8665 Nose Hill Drive Northwest, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is part of the Calgary Public Library. The building opened in 2004, and the fire alarm system is mostly from 2014. All of the notification appliances are original.

System Specifications (2014-present)

FACP

The building is protected by a Notifier NFS-320C addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the main entrance vestibule, between two book return slots. The system runs Notifier's FlashScan addressable protocol, and the system coding is temporal.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are the original System Sensor "SpectrAlert" P2415A horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd). These are mounted on the ceiling throughout the library.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are Notifier NBG-12LX addressable dual-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Notifier FSP-851A addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the library, mounted on System Sensor B210LPA low-profile bases. There is also a sprinkler system with waterflow detection.

Modules

There are Notifier FMM-1A addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

EOLs

There are Notifier EOL-CR end-of-line resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.

Former System Specifications
FACP: Simplex 4010 FACP Location: Main Entrance System Type: Addressable System Line Voltage: 120VAC NAC Voltage: 24VDC System Coding: Temporal Strobes Synchronized: No Date of last known Upgrade: N/A Year Decommissioned: 2014

FACP

The building was protected by a Simplex 4010 addressable fire alarm system. The panel was located in the main entrance vestibule. The system ran Simplex's IDNet addressable protocol, and the system coding was temporal.

Notification Appliances

All notification appliances were System Sensor "SpectrAlert" P2415A horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd). These are still in use on the Notifier system, and were likely installed due to customer preference.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations were Simplex 4099-9001 addressable single-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There were Simplex "TrueAlarm" 4098-9714 addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout the library, mounted on Simplex 4098-9792 addressable bases. There is also a sprinkler system with waterflow detection.

Modules

There were Simplex 4090-9001 addressable monitor modules supervising the sprinkler system's tamper and flow switches.

EOLs

There were Simplex 2081-9040C end-of-line resistor plates on all sprinkler and signal circuits.
