1 SensibleEST2 Networkable fire Alarm Control Panelswith Voice Audioimagination at workGESecurityLocal RemoteAnnunciatorsRemote NetworkAnnunciatorsNFPA Style 7 Wiring for MaximumSurvivabilityUnstoppablePeer-to-P eerNetworkBefore the remarkable EST2 life safety system, onlylarge facilities could justify the installation of such arichly featured, powerful solution. Then our engineershad a better idea: design a modular system thatenables a mid-sized building owner to start small, thenexpand as their needs do. Ultimately, they could gainall the protection of a major life safety system,complete with dual channel audio and networkcapacity for up to 960 intelligent detectors and almostan equal number of course, there s more built into this systemthan muscle alone. There salso our pride. Our relentlesscommitment to ISO 9000international qualitystandards shows in every component from themanufacture of the simplest Control switch to thesystem s main processor.

2 Our people also take greatpride in the fact that our Signature Series line ofintelligent analog detectors was selected byUnderwriters Laboratories as devices that do notrequire a calibration sensitivity test in order to complywith NFPA whether you need a standalone system oryou re faced with finding an economical, yetuncompromising solution to meet expansion needs,read on about EST2. It s thesystem that grows with re not very good LSRA local annunciators mount in stan-dard North American 2-gang electricalboxes. Models are available with commoncontrol offers a wide selection of wallboxconfigurations that take full advantage ofits modular design. Doors are available ingray or red baked enamel network annunciators provide globalsystem annunciation and Control inremote locations. Up to five annunciatorscan be used on a single EST2 brains of a real survivorNothing out-smarts disaster like theEST2 network.

3 Its peer-to-peer designdistributes intelligence throughout thesystem; automatically reconfiguringall sections into sub-networks in theevent of a wiring connection to the industry s gold standardFrom the moment it was introduced, the SignatureSeries family of intelligent devices has been a leader inlife safety technology. We designed EST2 to take fulladvantage of all the Signature Series features fromcutting-edge multisensor detectors to intelligent input/output plug-in modules with multiple and dual circuit modules reduce wiringand installation costs. Multisensor technologyeliminates detector application guesswork and makesnuisance alarms a thing of thepast . Add a SIGA-RELR eleasing Module and you vegot an ideal combination forsuppression system Audio: the voice ofauthorityAnother advantage ofSignature Series is its audiocapability.

4 An efficientemergency paging, evacuationsignaling and firefighters telephone system is availablein perfectly integrated one- or two-channel specially-designed SIGA-MDM (Multiple MessageDigital Module) comes standard with two 30-secondmessages that can be customized on site. With EST2 Audio in place, your occupants hear a clear,authoritative voice, giving them precise instructions intheir native language about when, how and where toexit the perfect fit for retrofitOur unique protocol will communicate on wires usedfor traditional hard-wired device circuits, eliminatingthe need to replace theexisting device wiring withexpensive communication-grade wiring. This means youcan upgrade your systempower and performance toEST2 standards without thelabor time and expense ofupgrading the s more, once theEST2 system has beeninstalled using the SignatureSeries devices on the existingwiring, the 2-SDU (SystemDefinition Utility) will generateas-built drawing for you.

Message Review Queue: Switches areprovided for each event type. Events arestored in queue in chronological order,allowing the user to move forward orbackward through each queue. History Log: Up to 543 full messagenon-volatile history log entries areretrievable to either the LCD or log entry contains facility name,licensee of data entry software, projectcompilation date, compiler version, projectrevision, and time and date of historyrequest.

7 Reports: Detailed reports eliminatetroubleshooting hours and allow for themost cost-effective scheduling ofpreventive maintenance. During aservice call, diagnostic reports providevaluable data on status and prevailingconditions. Maintenance Indications andEnvironmental Compensation:Signature Series devices provide 4- and24-hour environmental conditions are transmittedby detector at 80% and 100%environmental compensation. One-person Test Mode: Silent oraudible testing plus unique customprogrammable test modes permit quickand efficient testing. Four Security Access Levels: Youcontrol who has the ability to initiateactions, time Control functions, guardpatrol features, request report , andenable and disable points. Central Monitoring StationConnection: Get automatic notification ofpanel Alarm , supervisory and troubleconditions, and absolute assurance thatoff-normal conditions will reach yourCentral Monitoring Station.

8 Power Supply Choices: Each panel isavailable with a amp or amppower supply, providing the full currentrating for notification appliance built-in notification appliance circuitsrated at 100W are provided as standardconfiguration. Additional power can beadded in amp increments. Multiplex Remote Annunciation andControl: Drive up to 30 remoteannunciators per panel, each with acapacity for 96 input/output will support custom graphicannunciators and interface with mostmajor brands of existing graphicannunciators and remote LCD displays(with or without local Control ). Add up tofive networked annunciators and enjoythe benefit of full system Control andannunciation from any of the remotelocations. Built-in Alarm , Supervisory andTrouble Contacts. Ground Fault Detection by Module:Enables installers to pinpoint a faultycircuit rather than troubleshooting theentire system.

9 General Condition LEDs are providedfor AC power, Alarm , supervisory, trouble,monitor, disable, ground fault , CPU fail,and test . Acknowledgments not required: EST2streamlines event management in a crisissituation. Individual event acknowledgmentis not required only local sounder silence. LCD super-twist backlit displayprovides 4 lines x 20 characters ofcustom message description for eachpoint and zone. EST2 can also assignwhole zone annunciation on the frontpanel LED strip annunciator. During ACfailure, the Power Save feature turns offthe backlight until an off-normal conditionoccurs. Panel-mounted annunciation andcontrol: Optional LEDs provide theindividual zone indications preferred bymany fire departments.
