EST3...Your Total Life Safety

Solution.

Perfect for Any Facility

EST3 is uniquely designed to meet the life safety
needs of any size facility. The function of each
panel is can be customized by using an extensive
selection of plug and play local rail modules.
With support for 64 nodes of up to 250
devices each, this networks multi-priority
peer-to-peer token ring protocol delivers
a fast alarm response time across any
size network. Add to that the ability to
network panels for an overall length in
excess of 300,000 ft - thats nearly 60
miles - and youve got virtually
unlimited networking options.

Fire, Security, Access Control and much more...

No matter what your life safety needs are, GE
Securitys EST3 platform is the total life safety
solution for you. The EST3s capabilities and the
interplay of its expanded functionality, enables
this system to provide a dynamic synergy that
is unrivaled. EST3 is the perfect life safety platform to integrate fire alarm, security and access
control functions.
Security and access control functions take full
advantage of the survivability and reliability
inherent to the EST3. The end result is a truly
integrated life safety solution that, by sharing
system resources, results in reduced costs.
Installing a single system is much more efficient
than installing multiple interconnected systems.

All EST3 operating features are

software controlled using object
oriented rules, which when needed, gives the
designer great flexibility in integrating fire, security, and access control functions into a single
seamless design.
EST3 Audio. The Voice of Authority
EST3 multiplexed audio will deliver up to eight (8)
audio messages simultaneously over a single pair
of wires! These messages can be automatically
directed to appropriate areas in a facility under
program
control. Security messages
can be easily
integrated
into the audio
system.

Distributed Intelligence = Survivability

The EST3s distributed technology is
designed to survive expected and unexpected events. The EST3 network can bewired
so that a single open or short on the wiring
causes the system to isolate the fault,
without any loss of network functionality.
Should multiple wiring faults occur, the network
automatically configures into many sub-networks
and continues to respond to alarm events from all
communicating panels. Distributed technology
insures that panels
isolated from the net
work remain fully
functional.
Total Control at Your
Fingertips
User friendliness is a
hallmark of the EST3
design. The main
display shows the
operator the first and
most recent system
events as soon as an
alert is received.events
ensure that alarm
messages are never
inter-mixed with other
lower priority system
events. Paging and
telephone operations
are accomplished by
using menu-driven
switches, not rows of
confusing toggle
switches.

Ideal for Retrofit Projects

Intelligent Signature Series fire
and security devices are listed
for both fire and security
applications, and are fully
supported by the EST3 system.
Signature multisensor smoke detectors are
unmatched in performance over a wide variety
of fire conditions. All Signature Series devices
take full advantage of existing wiring, reducing
retrofit installation costs for material and labor.
Maintenance Made
Easy
Scheduled maintenance
improves system availability and the EST3s
diagnostic software
makes quick work of
troubleshooting. A
complete library of
comprehensive PCbased system reports
even includes a mapping diagram of Signature device connections
for easy-to-read asbuilt drawings.

EST3. The Standard By Which Other Life Safety Systems Are Measured.
Quality and reliability are built into every EST3 component and backed by our commitment to ISO
9001 international quality standards. Whether your major concern is cost effectiveness, life and
property protection, survivability, ease of installation and maintenance or flexibility for the future,
one system rises to the top. EST3.
