The Kildare is a 2 story walkup + basement apartment building located in at 740 15 Ave SW, Calgary, AB. It was built in 1959, the system is not original.

System Specifications[edit | edit source]

FACP[edit | edit source]

The complex is protected by a 3-wire, 120V Hardwired fire alarm system, meaning that there is no panel therefore the system coding is continuous.

Notification Appliances[edit | edit source]

The notification appliances consist of Edwards "Durabel" 6000D (6" gong) 120VAC vibrating bells. These were installed sometime in the 1960s at the earliest, and the early 1970s at the latest.

Initiating Devices[edit | edit source]

Pull Stations[edit | edit source]

The pull stations are mostly Edwards 270-SPO single action pull stations, with one Edwards 270-GAO two-stage pull station, which was likely in the truck at the time of installation despite not being two-stage. There is also a newer Mircom MS-401 likely installed sometime in the 2000s as a deficiency replacement.

Automatic Detection Devices[edit | edit source]

As with most 120VAC apartment systems, this one has American Sensor ESA5011 120V hardwired smoke detectors with an internal relay.
