Calgary Co-op is a chain of grocery stores in the Calgary area. This particular store was built in 1991, and renovated in about 2016. T The renovation gives the store a very weird, darkish vibe. It's not very nice inside, and user YYCsFireAlarmNimrod would not recommend shopping here. The current fire alarm system is from 2016, and the previous system was from around 2006. For some unknown reason, they are basically the same. No details are known about the original system.
System Specifications
FACP
The current fire alarm panel is an EST QuickStart QS1 from 2016. It replaced a 2006 variant following a renovation. It is unknown why they replaced the panel with another identical panel in the same spot, as they could've saved money by just wiring the new devices into the original panel. This shows that the interiors were nimrods. The system does code-3 in alarm, as this is the only coding that the notification appliances can do without significant modifications.
Notification Appliances
The main notification appliances consist of EST "Genesis" G1R-HDVM (red, wall, no FIRE) horn/strobes, and EST "Genesis" GC-HDVM (white, wall, no FIRE) ceiling-mount horn/strobes. These were also installed in 2016, replacing older variants/
Initiating Devices
Pull Stations
The pull stations consist of EST SIGA-270 addressable pull stations, installed in 2016 with the current EST logo. It is unknown why these were replaced, as the previous system was under 10 years old, and the fire alarm system was replaced with an identical model.
Automatic Detection Devices
All smoke detectors consist of EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors.
Previous System Specifications

The previous fire alarm panel was also an EST QuickStart QS1, but from 2006. It is unknown why this panel was replaced in 2016, but possibly a CPU fault during reprogramming.
