Lowe's Home Improvement is a chain of home improvement stores aka hardware stores throughout Canada. This particular location is in Crowfoot, AB. It was built in 1995 as Rona, and remodeled in late 2017 to become a Lowe's, with the fire alarm system not being affected. The current system has been in use since 2014. Most pull stations except for one, and some notification appliances are original. The system is managed by Troy Life & Fire Safety.
System Specifications
FACP
The store is protected by a Notifier NFS2-640C conventional fire alarm system. The main panel is located behind the front customer service desk at the entrance. It replaced an EST ESA2000. This panel has multiple Notifier XP6-MA zone modules in it to make it conventional. The system coding is likely continuous.
Notification Appliances
Most notification appliances are the original Wheelock MBS-G10-24 motor bell/strobes (10" gong, 1.5cd). There is one outside under the ceiling and is very weathered out, with the strobe yellow and faded. The other original notification appliances in the store are Edwards 439D-10AWC vibrating bells (10" gong), and can be found scattered, likely for more coverage. The garden centre has Edwards 439D-10AWC bells with EST "Integrity" 202-5A-001 (red, 15cd) strobes under them. There are two Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bells (10" gong) on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW (red, multi-candela) strobe plates, beside the panel, and by the checkouts, installed as deficiency replacements. At the back of the store by aisle 43, there is a Wheelock MB-G10-24 motor bell (10" gong) on a Wheelock RSSP-2415W (15cd) strobe plate that was installed as a deficiency replacement prior to 2007. In the "cut shop", there is a Notifier KMS-10-24A motor bell (10" gong) installed as a deficiency replacement, mounted on the original Wheelock strobe plate. In 2018, approximately four Wheelock MBS-G10-24 bell/strobes were replaced with Simplex 2901-9724 motor bells (10" gong) on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plates (multi-candela, red, set to 15cd) as deficiency replacements. One is facing downward.
