The River Condos is a condo building located at 135 26 Avenue SW, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This page also covers RiverHomes, which is part of the same system. The building was built in 2015, and the fire alarm system is original.

System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. This is a networked system with 4 nodes; Nodes 1 & 2 are located in the maintenance office; nodes 3 and 4 are located in the 16th floor electrical room. Node 5 is located in the main electrical room in RiverHomes. The system runs Edwards’ Signature addressable protocol, and is equipped with voice evacuation. The evacuation signal is a temporal tone; there is no automated message.

Annunciators

There is an Edwards EST3-6ANN annunciator with an LCDXL1 display in the main entrance vestibule of RiverHomes.

Notification Appliances

Most units and common areas have Edwards “Genesis” GCRF-S7 remote speakers (red, ceiling-mount, FIRE marking, 70V).
Some units have Edwards G4R-S7 remote speakers (red, wall-mount, no marking, 70V).
Higher-end units have Edwards GC-S7 remote speakers (white, ceiling-mount, no marking, 70V).
