Carewest Colonel Belcher is a senior living facility located at 1945 Veteran’s Way NW, in Calgary Alberta, Canada. The building was built in 2003, and the fire alarm system is mostly original.


System Specifications

FACP

The building is protected by an Edwards EST4 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located in the basement electrical room. The system runs Edwards’ Signature addressable protocol, and is configured for two-stage operation. The alert coding is 20BPM, and the alarm coding is temporal.
This panel replaced an Edwards EST3 in 2025.


Annunciators

There are Edwards EST4-LCDANN annunciators at all nurse’s stations.


Booster Panels

There are Edwards BPS10A 10-amp booster power supplies in several stairwells.


Notification Appliances

All notification appliances are Edwards “Genesis” G1R-HDVM horn/strobes (red, wall-mount, no marking, set to 15cd).


Initiating Devices

Pull Stations

All pull stations are EST SIGA-270P addressable two-stage single-action pull stations.


Automatic Detection Devices

There are EST SIGA-IPHS addressable ionization/photoelectric smoke and 135°F fixed-temperature heat detectors in all corridors and common areas, and in all patient rooms.
There are EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric smoke detectors throughout all crawlspaces.
There are EST SIGA-HRS addressable 135°F fixed-temperature/rate-of-rise heat detectors in all kitchens and mechanical rooms.
All aforementioned detectors are mounted on EST SIGA-SB bases.
There are EST SIGA-DH duct smoke detector housings equipped with EST SIGA-PS addressable photoelectric heads on all air handling units.


Modules

There are EST SIGA-CT1 addressable monitor modules supervising all kitchen suppression systems, the generator’s run/trouble contacts, and the sprinkler system’s tamper and flow switches.
There are EST SIGA-CR addressable relay modules serving various purposes.
There are EST SIGA-CC1 addressable control modules triggering all boosters.
There are EST SIGA-IM addressable isolator modules on all SLCs.


EOLs

There are Edwards EOL-P1 end of line resistor plates on all circuits supervised by monitor modules, and on all signal circuits.
