Maple Ridge School is an elementary school located in the Maple Ridge neighborhood of Southeast Calgary. The school has a capacity of approximately 600 students, and was built in 1967. The school received its most recent fire alarm upgrade in 2015.
System Specifications (2015-present)
FACP
The building is protected by a Simplex 4010-9101C addressable fire alarm system. The panel is unconfirmed, as is the location. The system is on continuous for alarm, but the horns are self-coded.
Notification Appliances
All notification appliances are Wheelock MT-12/24-R multitone horns on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW-FR multi-candela strobe plates. These notification appliances were selected due to the large footprint of the previous devices, and to mount on the existing backboxes. The horns are set to code 3 horn (electromechanical), and the strobes are likely set on 15 candela. As with the panel, the locations of the devices are unknown.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
All pull stations are Simplex 4099-9001 IDNet addressable pull stations.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are Simplex 4098-9714 IDNet addressable photoelectric smoke detectors located throughout the facility. They are likely set to 2% smoke/cubic foot.
