333 Shawville Blvd SE is a large building complex in Shawnessy, SW Calgary. It consists of Cardel Rec South, the Shawnessy Library, Bishop O'Byrne High School, and the Shawnessy YMCA. The facility was built in 2000, and expanded in 2011-12. The current system is from 2012, but almost all original devices still remain.
System Specifications
FACP
The fire alarm system is a Siemens FireFinder XLS. The fire panel is at the Cardel Ice entrance. It replaced the original Cerberus Pyrotronics MXL in 2012 due to the expansion, and the MXL not having enough capacity to fulfill those requirements. The system is two-stage, and likely does slow march time in first stage, and code 3 in second stage.
Notification Appliances
The main notification appliances seen throughout the whole building except for 2012 parts are Cerberus Pyrotronics BDC-10 (rebranded Wheelock MB-G10-24) motor bells on Wheelock RSSP-24MCW strobe plates, rebranded by Cerberus Pyrotronics. The 2012 addition in Cardel Rec South has Siemens SFM24-6 motor bells on Siemens ST-MC-RETRO-R-B (rebranded bilingual Wheelock RSSP-24MCW) strobe plates. Outside the entrance of Bishop O'Byrne High School, there is a Cerberus Pyrotronics BDC-10 motor bell.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
The main pull stations are Cerberus MSI-30B throughout the building. The main pull stations for the 2012 wing are Siemens HMS-2S. They can also be seen as replacements for the failed Cerberus pull stations in the 2002 parts. Both models are addressable and two-stage.
Automatic Detection Devices
The smoke/heat detectors are likely from the Siemens FirePrint lineup, however, none were noticed.
