The EST3 is a modular control platform uniquely designed to meet the needs of applications ranging from standalone single panel fire alarm systems to multi-panel networks with unified fire alarm, security, and Mass Notification functions.
Digital Audio
- EST3 digitized audio can deliver up to eight audio messages simultaneously over a single pair of wires.
- Easily supports the needs of mass notification messaging, and fire alarm messaging
Networking/Communications
- The EST3 Life Safety Network uses a multi-priority peer-to-peer token ring protocol. The protocol gives EST3 the exceptionally fast alarm response time of less than three seconds across the network, virtually independent of the total number of nodes.
Enhanced Reliability & Survivability
- The EST3 uses distributed technology, designed to survive expected and unexpected events including earthquakes.
User Friendly
- A comprehensive survey of users resulted in system features and controls that are easy to use.
System Configuration
- The powerful EST3 System Definition Utility (SDU) helps define flexible system operations in a fraction of the time required by other systems.
