Granville Island Hotel is a boutique hotel located in Vancouver, BC. It has a fitness centre, spas, and a conference centre. The hotel was built in 1983, spans 3 floors, and with the exception of some pull stations and bells, the system is not original.
System Specifications
FACP
The hotel is protected by a Mircom FX-2000 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located after the entrance, and is two-bays. It was installed most likely in 2010 following a renovation or in 2012 following system modifications, like mini-horns in rooms, and strobes. Despite the system being addressable, the system is not set up in an addressable manner. When the system goes into alarm, it does code-3, and most likely synchronizes the strobes.
Notification Appliances
The notification appliances are mostly System Sensor SSM24-10A motor bells on Mircom strobe plates (model number to be confirmed), and Amseco MSB-10-PV4 motor bells on Mircom strobe plates. The strobe plates were installed in 2012 onto the existing bells, while the System Sensor bells were most likely installed in 2010. In the lobby, there is a General Signal MB10-24/MB74430 motor bell with no visual appliance. The fitness room has a Mirtone 74306 vibrating bell that is likely original. In the rooms, there are mostly Mircom MH-S25WA (white, silenceable) mini horns, although some rooms have Mircom “Select-a-Horn/Strobe” FHS-240W (white) horn/strobes. In room 111, there are two Mircom “Select-a-Strobe” FS-240W (white) remote strobes. The Mircom horn/strobes and mini-horns were installed in 2012.
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
Most of the pull stations are the original Mirtone 73201 pull stations. Several of these have been replaced with Mircom MS-401 conventional pull stations since the 2000s. There is one original Edwards 270-SPO (shield logo, FIRE ALARM) at one entrance in the lobby, that is likely new old stock.
Automatic Detection Devices
There are Mircom 2151A photoelectric smoke detectors throughout.
