The Lake Bonavista Community Association is a small recreation centre in Lake Bonavista, SE Calgary. It was built in 1970, but does not have the original fire alarm system. Almost all of the fire bells and most pull stations are original to the building!
System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm control panel is a Tyco/Grinnell Series 1000. This panel is identical to the Mircom Series 1000. The main panel is located in the facility manager's office. The FA-1000 replaced an Edwards Custom 6500 in 2006. The "SIGNAL SILENCE" button has the writing "Bell" above it, as well as the NACs saying "bells"
Notification Appliances
Most of the notification appliances consist of the original Edwards "Durabel" 6100D (6" gong) vibrating bells from the 1964 era. Some Durabels have been replaced with newer variants (late 1970s-1990 logo, or 1990s logo). In the gymnasium and the entrance, there are Simplex 2901-9723 motor bells replacing failed Edwards bells. There is also a painted-over Edwards 881-D flush mount horn in the dressing room hallway, however it is unknown if it is still in use.

Pull Stations
