8888 Country Hills Blvd NW aka Royal Oak Center is a shopping centre with many plazas. This one is for the units number 125-198 in a plaza. This plaza was built in 2003 or 2004, but has had its current fire alarm system since July 2017. It is unknown why the alarms were replaced. This plaza consists of a Sobeys, Ohana Care, PetValu, Williams Paints, Subway, Freshii and Royal Oak Clinic.

System Specifications

FACP

The fire alarm system is a Mircom FX-2000 installed in 2017. It replaced an EST QuickStart QS1, after a CPU fail. The panel is located inside the entrance of Sobeys, and is commonly blocked by shopping carts.

Notification Appliances

All of the indoor notification appliances are from System Sensor's "SpectrAlert Advance" lineup. The main notification appliances are System Sensor P2R (red, wall mount, 2 wire) horn/strobes, which are all set to low volume, code-3, and 30cd. They are in place of the Genesis horn/strobes, even on the ceilings at Sobeys. For outdoor notification, there's a System Sensor SRK (red, wall mount) weatherproof remote strobe outside of PetValu, which did not replace anything as there was no alarm there before. All of these alarms are operating independently, and were installed in 2017 along with the Mircom system.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All of the pull stations are Mircom MS-401AP "Advanced Protocol" pull stations. They are also installed where the original pull stations were.

Automatic Detection Devices

The smoke detectors are Mircom MIX-2251AP addressable photoelectric smoke detectors, installed in 2017 when the Mircom system was.

Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

The original pull stations were EST SIGA-270 addressable pull stations. There was one from 2012 as a replacement by the pharmacy, but all of them were replaced in 2017 due to not being compatible with the FX-2000.

Automatic Detection Devices

The original smoke detectors were EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors.
