Don Hartman NE Sportsplex is a sports facility located in the Coral Springs neighborhood of Northeast Calgary. It houses two 150-seat, NHL-sized arenas, as well as a large gymnasium. It was built in 1995, and received a fire alarm upgrade last year. The system is (unfortunately) serviced by Johnson Controls.
System Specifications (2021-present)
FACP
The building is protected by a Simplex 4100ES addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located at the main entrance. This panel is equipped with the new Simplex ES touchscreen interface. The panel is not up to code, as it does not have zone annunciation. The system runs Simplex's IDNet addressable protocol, but the coding of the system is unknown.
Notification Appliances
Most notification appliances are Wheelock MBS-G10-24 motor bell/strobes (10" gong, 1.5 candela). In the dressing room hallway, the Wheelock bell broke down, and was replaced with a Simplex 2901-9724 motor bell (10" gong). The strobe assembly remains. In a hallway on the second floor, there is a Potter MBA-6-24 motor bell (6" gong) on a Wheelock RSSP-24MCW-FR strobe plate. All of these were left over from the original system.

Pull Stations
