Regina Mundi Catholic College is a catholic high school located at 5250 Wellington Rd S in London, Ontario. It was the second Catholic school to be built in Ontario. It was first built in 1963 as a seminary for boys, then an all boys school in 1967, and in 1983 added a gymnasium and science laboratories as a co-ed school. It was then expanded in 1988 as a high school. The fire alarm system was upgraded in 1988, but some of the bells and pull stations remain original.

There are also portables built between 1988 and 2000, which are independent from the main system, however all systems are wired to trip each other when one goes into alarm. The 2nd and 3rd floors were originally dorms, but were converted to classrooms.

System Specifications (1988-present)

FACP

The school is protected by an Edwards Custom 6500 conventional fire alarm system. The panel is located in the mechanical room in the basement, and has an auxiliary panel for additional zones. It has a total of 52 zones. The system coding is march time.

The 6500 was installed in 1988 after the major expansion, replacing an Edwards 1221T.

Annunciators

There is an annunciator for the Edwards 6500 located in the front foyer, model unknown.

Notification Appliances

Most of the notification appliances are the original Edwards "Adaptabel" model 23 single-stroke bells (10" gong, 4VDC)/

In the double gymnasium and other parts added/expanded in 1988, there are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10" gong). These are also found as deficiency replacements.

There is an Edwards "Adaptabel" 333D single-stroke bell (10" gong) in the science wing as a deficiency replacement.

Outside the music room, there is an Edwards "Adaptabel" model 24 single-stroke bell (10" gong, 12VAC).

The 4VDC and 12VAC bells are wired to transformers to operate off 24VDC, located directly behind the bells.

Technology Wing (1988)

There is an Edwards 439D-6AWC vibrating bell (6" gong) in a hallway, and Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10", including one in a storage room due to that part being formerly being a hallway.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

Most of the pull stations are the original first generation Edwards 270-SPO pull stations.

In the 1988 parts, there are newer Edwards 270A-SPO pull stations.

The tech wing, however has a few Mirtone 73201 dual-action pull stations.

Automatic Detection Devices

There are Edwards 6250C ionization smoke detectors and Edwards 281C rate-of-rise/fixed-temperature heat detectors located throughout the school, installed in 1988.

There is an original Edwards 241 rate-of-rise/fixed heat detector behind the chapel.

There is also a System Sensor 2151A photoelectric smoke detector mounted on a B114LPA base, installed as a deficiency replacement.

EOLs

There are Edwards EOL-P1 end-of-line resistor plates on all circuits.
