Genesis Centre is a multi-purpose complex located at 7555 Falconridge Boulevard Northeast #10, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The building houses the Saddletowne YMCA, several arenas, a swimming pool, several gymnasiums, as well as a field house. The building opened in 2012, and was expanded in 2014. The fire alarm system is original with the exception of the main FACP.

FACP

The building is protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel location is unknown. The system runs Edwards' Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. Alert signal coding is 20BPM, followed by temporal for the evacuation signal.

This panel replaced the original EST QuickStart QS4 in 2022.
