Quality and reliability built into every system

A lot can be said about EST3, but when it comes to performance, price, installation ease and flexibility, this remarkable life safety system speaks for itself. For example, a glance at the contents on this page reveals just how few components are needed to configure even the most sophisticated and elaborate life safety, security, and access control network. EST3s modular design means you only get the features you need, and its simple configuration ensures trouble-free installation every time. And when it comes to connected devices, nothing beats EST3. In fact, the Signature Series line of intelligent analog detectors has been singled out by Underwriters Laboratories as the first such devices on the market that do not require a calibration sensitivity test in order to comply with NFPA72. Quality and reliability are built into every EST3 component, from the simplest control switch to the systems main processor. And thats not just a corporate mandate: its a proven fact supported by GE Securitys commitment to ISO 9000 international quality standards. EST3 is certified under ISO, not only for manufacturing, but for design, training, customer service, and technical support as well. This ensures that your EST3 network will provide extremely reliable service the day its brought on-line and well into the future.

Redefining Life Safety

Life safety used to mean the protection of buildings and occupants against the threat of fire. From this grew an industry that has undergone quantum leaps from relay logic, to microprocessor-based technology, to peer-to-peer networks with integrated audio annunciation all in the span of just a few years. While the protection of people and property has always been, and will continue to be, the primary focus of life safety efforts, few would argue that standards havent played a major role in propelling the industry forward. Agencies such as NFPA and UL have established life safety as among the most stringently regulated and most closely scrutinized industries in the world. And for good reason: with lives and assets at stake, nothing can be left to chance. Today the life safety industry is in the midst of yet another quantum leap forward. Expanding into the arenas of security, access control, and CCTV, many life safety manufacturers are seeking ways to extend the life safety function. But listing fire alarm functions in the same system with security and access control has been regarded as a Pandoras Box of regulatory obstacles and resistance. As a result, efforts in the past have concentrated on combining separately listed systems by means of a user interface that gives the illusion of total building control. To reinforce the illusion, this patchwork approach has been referred to as integration. From the interfaced system point of view there is good reason for keeping life safety separate from security functions. To do otherwise would require an unprecedented effort in terms of securing approvals and listings. It would mean venturing into uncharted territory. At GE Security were used to blazing trails. With the introduction of the Synergy concept, weve managed to accomplish what many said couldnt be done: weve combined for the first time fire alarm, security, and access control on a single, fully-listed network backbone. EST3 is the platform used to carry this effort through, proving once again that this exquisitely engineered system has both the power and the flexibility to jump through all the regulatory hoops, to negotiate all the listing minefields and still have lots left over for system expansion. Was all this effort worth it? You bet. Operating over the EST3 network, security and access control not only enjoy the speed and versatility of this proven life safety performer, they also have the opportunity to share system resources such as wiring, power supplies and off-premise communication. And that saves material, labor, and maintenance costs. Big time. Synergy promotes the sharing of resources. It makes a simpler system. One thats easier to service and less trouble to program than several separate systems. EST3 has always been an event-driven system that orchestrates all fire alarm functions with extreme efficiency. With added security and access control functions, the possibilities are endless: unlock access controlled doors when theres a fire alarm; use integrated audio to issue audible intruder alert messages all through software, no extra relays or wiring required! EST3 also elevates the reliability and survivability of security functions to a level found previously only in dedicated fire alarm systems. And when it comes to the marriage between existing systems, nothing beats EST3. In fact, the system is even backward compatible with BACnet, the open-source communications protocol commonly used to bridge interfaced systems together. How does Synergy fit into this picture? Synergy is the name used to describe GE Securitys method of combining fire, access control, and security functions into one seamless system. Synergy is not a new system, but rather the logical extension of EST3 architecture into security and access control. In addition to traditional fire alarm devices, products used to create Synergy include motion detectors, security input modules and access controllers. These connect on network wiring and draw power from the same sources supplying fire alarm components. Now, with EST3, dozens of Signature Series multisensor detectors can co-exist with dozens of Signature Series motion detectors on the same pair of wires. This degree of system unity is simply unprecedented. EST3 is the first UL 864-listed fire and security platform ever engineered. Weve accomplished this by tackling listing challenges head-on, not avoiding them. And weve negotiated all the regulatory hurdles so you dont have to. The result is a whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts: true Synergy.

EST3 Network
EST3 is a modular system uniquely designed to easily meet the needs of standalone single node systems or multi-node networks. Fire alarm, security, access control and audio functions use the same fundamental components, simplifying system layouts. A powerful System Definition Utility program helps define system operations in a fraction of the time required by previous methods. Virtually all EST3 operating features are software controlled. This gives EST3 great site flexibility and ensures operational changes and upgrades will be possible years after the initial installation. Highly Flexible Applications EST3 is a superbly adaptable life safety system, lending itself to medium and large building applications. Cabinets are available with room for system batteries up to 65 Amp hours. With EST3, one 24-volt battery supports up to four power supplies. Each supply will support up to 7 Amp load. With four supplies, 28 Amps of current is available all backed up by a common battery.

Powerful Networking EST3 operates on a multi priority peer-to-peer token ring network. The multi-priority token ring gives EST3 exceptional response. Response time for all functions, including fire, security, and access control, is less than three seconds across the network regardless of the total number of nodes. EST3 token ring network configuration also permits vast distances between nodes. The allowable distance between nodes on #18AWG (0.75mm2) is 5,000ft (1,523m). With 64 nodes supported on a network, the total network length is in excess of 300,000 ft (91,400m), or nearly 60 miles! A single node supports up to 10 Signature loop controllers with 250 devices per loop, (2,500 points total per node). EST3 also makes field wiring easy with building wiring terminations that use removable terminal blocks on local rail modules. Panel design allows for the required separation of high voltage and power-limited wiring.

Whether for fire alarm only, or for total life safety protection including security and access control, the EST3 network is the most survivable system available. EST3 uses distributed database technology, designed to survive the rigors of fire and firefighting. In Class B configuration a single break on the network wiring will isolate the system into two groups of one or more nodes. Each group of nodes continues functioning as a peer-to-peer network, working with their combined databases. In Class A configurations a single break or short on the network wiring causes the system to isolate the fault. Network communication continues uninterrupted. If multiple faults occur, the network re-configures into multiple networks. This means a system continues to respond to activations from every node that can transmit and receive network messages. Local responses always execute because the local database resides at each node. Exceptional survivability extends to every EST3 function, including security and access control. These devices (highlighted in yellow) reside on the network alongside fire alarm components. They share wiring, power sources and the inherent stability of a fire alarm network engineered to meet standards far beyond those of ordinary security systems.

Local Rail Modules

Local Rail Modules (LRMs) conveniently mount to the EST3 inner chassis, away from high voltages. Each module features removable terminal blocks and simple plug-in connectors. LRMs include Zoned Amplifiers, Signature Loop Controllers, Conventional Hardwired Modules, Off Premise Signaling Modules, as well as the main CPU module. Control Display Modules can be mounted on any LRM.
Local Rail Local Rail Module
Signature Driver Controller Modules
Removable Terminal Blocks
The 3-SSDC1 and 3-SDDC1 Signature Driver Controller modules provide an intelligent interface between the 3-CPU(1.3) module and Signature Series devices. Each module contains its own microprocessor used to coordinate, process and interpret information received from and sent to Signature devices. Power and communications is received directly from the control panel rail assembly. The 3-SSDC1 Single Signature Driver Controller module supports one Signature Data circuit, while the 3-SDDC1 Signature Dual Driver Controller module supports two Signature circuits. Both modules occupy one rail space in the fire alarm control cabinet and provide removable field wiring terminals to aid installation. Innovative design gives the 3-SSDC1/3-SDDC1 and Signature devices truly distributed intelligence. Signature detectors and modules have their own on-board microprocessor communicating with the loop controller in a fully digital communication format. This increases the accuracy of the information coming to and from the loop controller by reducing the effects of capacitance and noise.

With decentralized intelligence much of the decision making moves from the loop controller to the devices. Advanced fire detection algorithms processed within the Signature devices effectively end unwanted alarms. Environmental compensation and multiple sensing element decision making operations are resident in the devices. Intelligent devices allow the Signature Controllers to execute communication and system functions with greater speed and low baud rates, increasing the accuracy of information transmitted between the loop controller and devices. To enhance survivability of the system the 3-SSDC1/3-SDDC1 supports a standalone mode for Signature devices. Two catastrophic failure modes are supported. If the 3-CPU(1/3) fails, the loop controller will continue to poll its devices. If an alarm is detected it will be sent on the local rail communication bus and received by other local rail modules. A common alarm condition throughout the panel will result. If the local rail module (3-SSDC1/3SDDC1) fails, and a device (smoke or module) detects an alarm, specialized circuitry will make the node aware of the alarm condition. The 3-CPU(1/3) will communicate the alarm condition to the rest of the network. Having multiple redundant modes is paramount in a life safety system.

The 3-IDC8/4 is ideal for retrofit projects where existing wiring, smoke detectors and signals may not need replacing.
IDC/NAC #1
Flexibility built right into the IDC module allows connection of normally open contact devices, and traditional 2-wire smoke detectors. The 3-IDC8/4 also configures for use with N.O. contacts and supports supervised supervisory and monitor circuits with latching or non-latching operations. When the monitor operation is used with the non-latching function, the circuit serves as a supervised event follower. This efficiently covers critical fan and damper operations. Circuits can annunciate on the 3-LCD, control display modules, or at any other display device on the network. Up to 30 photoelectric or 50 ionization smoke detectors are supported per circuit. All circuits may be programmed for non-verified or verified smoke operation. Ranges include open circuit, shorted condition, and high and low impedance (relative to the main impedance setting). This allows the use of various detectors of similar impedance, as well as 4-state European alarm circuit operation.

New style reverse polarity operation allows the 3-OPS to output three independent reversing polarity signals. These are alarm, supervisory, and trouble. In each case an active condition causes the terminal output voltage to reverse. Should the central station detect a loss of voltage, the condition is due to line failure. When configured for new style operation, a set of trouble contacts is available. City Tie connection. In this configuration the 3-OPS has terminals for a local energy master fire alarm box.

The Modem Communicator is a two-way local rail module that performs a variety of off-premise communications functions for the EST3 system unavailable on any other system. The module has provisions for supervising two loop-start telephone lines. It features a modular jack for telephone line connections, as well as database download from a PC. The Modcoms configuration and firmware can also be updated from any network node. Modcom series modules occupy a single local rail space and can be mounted in any node on the network. Any EST3 Control/Display module can be mounted on the face of a Modcom series module. Power for the Modcom is supplied by the EST3 system supply.
Initiating Devices
The Modcom provides an enhanced level of survivability in the event of a network CPU failure by notifying the Central Monitoring Station of the failure and entering a degraded mode of operation. In degraded mode, the Modcom can transmit a default fire alarm message during a fire alarm condition. Two versions of the Modcom are available: 3-MODCOM - This internal modem is a V.32bis 14.4K baud full duplex modem. The modem permits the remote upload and download of system data via a telephone line. 3-MODCOMP In addition to all modem and dialer (DACT) functions of the 3-MODCOM, the 3-MODCOMP can dial directly into paging systems using Telelocator Alphanumeric Protocol (TAP). Alphanumeric system data can be sent to a single pager or groups of pagers. Some pager services can SURGE forward messages via e-mail and Fax. PROTECTOR RING Each Modcom can buffer up to 500 events in its event queue. It reviews all active events in the queue and identifies the highest priority event and dials the associated receiver. The Modcom then YELLOW 4 3 identifies all other events in the queue that are destined to the same receiver as the highest priority event. All event 2 BLACK 1 information for that receiver is then transmitted. The next PREMISES PHONES high priority event is identified and the process repeated. The Modcom series has been designed for installation on the same phone lines with other devices such as faxes and answering machines. The module makes its first dial out attempt on either of the two phone lines that is not in use. This prevents unnecessary interruption of calls in progress by the line seizure relays. In the event that both lines are busy, the module seizes one of the busy lines. A fixed DACT testing time can be set at an off-hour, e.g. 2:00am, again minimizing interruptions. The answering machine override feature permits Modcom modules to be installed on a standard telephone line. The Modcom series also has the ability to detect Type 2 and Type 3 distinctive ringing patterns, permitting it to share its phone lines with other devices and still have a unique phone number for incoming calls.

Control Display Modules

EST3 Control Display modules provide the emergency user with the simplest of interfaces: lights and switch controls. Control Display Modules install over local rail modules. There are five types of modules available. The first module supports simple zone annunciation; the second, zone annunciation with zone disable; the third, alarm and trouble zone annunciation; the fourth, alarm and trouble zone annunciation with zone disable. Typically, alarm zone annunciation appears on any of these module types. The fifth module is very adaptable to system requirements for audio or remote equipment control. Each contains 18 LEDs and 18 switches. And each group of three switches has a latching-interlock to support operations that must be kept separated. The interlock is under software control so only one switch is active at a given time.

EST3 Network
FireWorks is a family of software and hardware options designed to work in concert with GE Security life safety and property protection systems. FireWorks provides a simple user interface, taking what could be an overwhelmingly large amount of information and presenting it in an easy-tounderstand format. It does this by dividing major system functions into easy-to-manage quadrants that make the system very intuitive to use because information is presented logically. To further enhance usability, FireWorks is event driven. This greatly increases the user's ability to deal with system events by eliminating the confusion sometimes experienced when systems present all information at once. FireWorks automatically prioritizes the events for the user in an Event Quadrant. Here the highest priority event is displayed first, and the lowest priority event is displayed last. This allows the user to quickly determine which events warrant the most immediate attention.
The FireWorks four-quadrant display provides easy access to fire, security, access control, and CCTV functions. FireWorks operates with Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating systems.
For FireWorks specifications and ordering information, please refer to catalog sheet 85006-0048. For FireWorks operation and application, please refer to catalog sheet 85006-0047.
Initiating Devices
Each of the other three quadrants provides one specific piece of information that relates to the event highlighted in the Event Quadrant. Related information may include event action information (specific tasks the user may need to perform in response to the event), or information about the area where the event has taken place (any hazardous materials present in the area, etc.). Still images, CCTV, video, audio messages and graphical maps may also be presented to aid in the understanding of an event and how it should be managed.

Configuring EST3 audio is a matter of selecting components for installation in standard fire alarm cabinet assemblies. EST3 uses zoned amplifiers. This reduces wire runs and space needs at a central location. Audio control equipment and zoned amplifiers use the same system power supplies as fire alarm components. All these components are supported by a common standby battery. Where multiple nodes make up the system, a single pair of wires carries eight channels of digital audio between nodes.

The 3-SAC is the demarcation point between fire and security functions. For jurisdictions requiring independent wiring of fire and security devices, the 3-SAC offers two independent circuits. Where fire and security devices are permitted to be connected to the same circuit, both circuits can support fire and secu- Class A wiring 3-SAC Module rity functions. All security devices that connect to a 3SAC are designed, tested and listed to strict fire alarm standards.

The 3-SAC is used in combination with the Modcom Modem Communicator. The Modcoms dialer (DACT) function transmits alarms to one or more central monitoring stations and/or paging terminals. Additionally, information received by the Modcom can be downloaded through the 3-SAC to individual security devices. The EST3 network ensures that fire alarm events always receive the highest priority over routine signal processing. Power for the 3-SAC comes from the same highly-reliable power supply/battery combination used to power fire alarm components. Any Control Display module will mount in front of the 3-SAC, allowing great flexibility of the system user interface layout.

Card Reader Controller

The Card Reader Controller (CRC) provides the power and electronics required to monitor and control a single door with both entry and exit readers. The unit is designed to mount in close proximity to the door it controls, however it can be located remotely from the readers in retrofit applications. The unit is housed in an off-white Cycoloy housing. Its attractive design allows for surface mounting in exposed areas. All access decisions are made locally in the CRC. The CRCs nonvolatile memory can hold schedules and holiday information for up to 8,000 cardholders. The CRCXM has additional memory, and supports 36,000 cardholders. The memory also retains the last 5,000/ 20,000 events for logging purposes. This history information is uploaded at the request of the access control database for use in a variety of reports. The unit provides 12 Vdc @ amp for door strike or magnetic lock requirements. An integral standby battery can provide up to four hours of service for applications that use electric door strikes. An integral tamper switch is also provided. Two input circuits are provided for security devices. These are typically used to monitor door position and request-toexit devices. Input circuits can also be configured as a buzz in switch to manually unlock the door, or as security input points. A handicapped feature output is provided to operate mechanical door openers with extended door-open times. This output is activated when a cardholder with the disabled option activated presents his card to the reader. Each CRC(XM) contains the entire access control database within its memory. This distribution of intelligence minimizes traffic on the network. Cardholder data is created and stored in the Access Control Database (ACDB) software program that runs on any compatible PC. This information is then encrypted and sent to the CRCs by a hardwire or dial-up connection.

In a life safety network environment, the PC is simply equipped with a conventional modem. The ACDB program then dials up the network and sends the encrypted database information via the network to the individual CRCs. This allows an ACDB to serve multiple sites. Dial-up data entry also permits multiple tenants to share a common access control system without sharing a common database. PCs may also be connected directly to the system using a direct serial connection.

EST3s Signature Series intelligent analog-addressable
system is an entire family of fire alarm and security detectors as well as mounting bases, multiple-function input and output modules, and user-friendly maintenance and service tools. Analog information from equipment connected to Signature devices is gathered and converted into digital signals. At the heart of each Signature Series device is an on-board microprocessor that analyses these signals and decides whether or not to input an alarm. The power of this approach, known as distributed intelligence, provides four important benefits: self-diagnostics and history logging; automatic device mapping; stand-alone operation; and, fast , stable communication. Self-diagnostics and History Log Signature Series devices constantly run self-checks to provide important maintenance information. The results of these checks are automatically updated and permanently stored in the devices non-volatile memory. This information is accessible for review using the System Definition Utility and/or the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool. The information stored in device memory includes: device serial number, address, and type; date of manufacture, hours of operation, and last maintenance date; number of recorded alarms and troubles; and, up to 32 possible trouble codes which may be used to specifically diagnose faults.
Initiating Devices
Device mapping allows the Signature Loop Controller to discover: unexpected additional device addresses; missing device addresses; and, changes to the wiring in the circuit. Most Signature modules use a personality code selected by the installer to determine their actual function. Personality codes are downloaded from the controller during system configuration and are indicated during device mapping. Fast Stable Communication Built-in intelligence means less information needs to be sent between the device and the Signature Loop Controller. Other than routine supervisory polling responses, Signature devices only need to communicate with the controller when they have something new to report . This provides very fast control panel response and allows a lower baud rate (speed) to be used for communication on the circuit. The lower baud rate offers several advantages including: less sensitivity to circuit wire characteristics; less sensitivity to noise glitches on the cable; less emitted noise from the analog wiring; and, twisted or shielded wiring is not required. Testing & Maintenance Automatic self-diagnosis identifies when a Signature device is defective and issues a trouble message. The user-friendly maintenance program shows the current state of each device and other pertinent information. Single devices may be turned off temporarily, directly from the control panel.

Detectors and Bases

ESTs Signature series products are intelligent devices. Intelligent devices have drastically lower communications requirements than those of sensor type devices. Because of the low Signature communications rate there are no special wiring requirements for Signature circuits. This permits Signature devices to use existing wiring, as long as the wiring is in good shape, free of electrical noise, When existing wiring is used, the Signature devices will properly map the circuit, function as designed, and provide overall network response time of less than three seconds. For new installations, twisted-pair wiring is all that is recommended.

GE Security hazardous location devices provide reliable life safety protection and emergency signaling in areas where atmospheres could become harsh or explosive. All hazardous location devices are UL rated under the full range of classifications set out in the National Electrical Code. The following classification definitions are an interpretive summary based on the 1996 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC, NFPA 70). Refer to the latest editions of NFPA 497M, NFPA 70 and the UL Hazardous Location Equipment Directory for current and more detailed information. For more information on NEMA classifications, refer to NEMA Standards Publication No. 250.
Hazardous Location Classifications

Classes
Class I - Hazardous Gases. Class I locations are areas in which flammable gases or vapors are or may be present in the air in quantities sufficient to produce explosive or ignitable mixtures. Typical Class I Hazardous Areas Spray painting and finishing areas Utility gas plants Petroleum refining production plants Petroleum dispensing locations Dry cleaning facilities Dip tanks containing combustibles or flammable liquids Plant facilities extracting solvents Inhalation anesthetics areas Process facilities manufacturing pyroxylin type plastics Class II - Hazardous Dusts. Class II locations represent areas that are hazardous due to the presence of combustible dust. Typical Class II Hazardous Areas Flour mills Feed mills Grain elevators and grain handling facilities Aluminum manufacturing and storage areas Magnesium manufacturing and storage areas Coal preparation and handling facilities Starch manufacturing and storage areas Confectionery plants Pulverizer sugar and cocoa manufacturing, and storage plants Spice grinding and storage plants Class III - Hazardous Fibers. Class III locations have easily ignitable fibers or flyings present, but not likely to be suspended in air in quantities sufficient to produce ignitable mixtures in the atmosphere. Typical Class III Hazardous Areas Textile mills Woodworking plants* Furniture manufacturers* Cotton gins Cotton seed milling plants Flax plants Carpet manufacturers * Except if wood flour (dust), which is Class II Group G, is present
Divisions
The Location Classes are broken down by the NFPA into Divisions 1 and 2, defining different levels of risk. In general, the risk of there being a hazardous presence of flammable/ combustible/ignitable materials is higher for Division 1 than for Division 2. The specifics differ between the three classes (I, II and III). Equipment suitable for Division 1 is also suitable for Division 2 locations.
Groups
Class I and II locations are divided by the NFPA into Group designations identifying specific gases, vapors and dusts by characteristic similarities that relate to specific equipment construction requirements. Class III locations are not divided into separate group designations. Class I Groups Group A. Atmospheres containing acetylene. Group B. Atmospheres containing hydrogen, fuel and combustible process gases containing more than 30 percent hydrogen by volume, or gases or vapors of equivalent hazard such as butadiene, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, and acrolein. Group C. Atmospheres such as ethyl ether, ethylene, or other gases or vapors of equivalent hazard. Group D. Atmospheres containing acetone, ammonia, benzene, butane, cyclopropane, ethanol, gasoline, hexane, methanol, methane, natural gas, naphtha (petroleum), propane, or gases or vapors of equivalent hazard. Class II Groups Group E. Atmospheres containing combustible metal dusts, including aluminum, magnesium, and their commercial alloys, or other combustible dusts whose particle size, abrasiveness and conductivity present similar hazards in the use of electrical equipment. Group F. Atmospheres containing combustible carbonaceous dusts, including carbon black, charcoal, coal, or dusts that have been sensitized by other materials so that they present an explosion hazard. Group G. Atmospheres containing combustible dusts not included in Group E or F, including flour, grain, wood, plastic, and chemicals.

SPDT Relays
Single-pull/double-throw relays are ideal for applications where local or remote contacts are required for control of electrical loads. They are suitable for use with HVAC, temperature control, fire alarm, security, energy management, and lighting control systems. Each relay position contains a high-intensity LED which, when illuminated, indicates the relay coil is energized. Individual relay circuits may be snapped apart from standard four- or eight-position modules, and are also available in a single-circuit configuration. The common power to each relay position is bussed on the printed wiring board, which permits power to be connected only once per multi-position module.
Single-Voltage Manual Override Relays

MR-600 series relays provide SPDT, 10-Amp contacts with manual override capability by means of an ON-AUTO-OFF switch. The relay requires a 24Vac or 24Vdc power source supplied by the controlling system. With the switch in the ON position the power relay is energized. With the switch in the AUTO position the relay is allowed to operate as signaled by the controlling system. With the switch in the OFF position the relay cannot be energized.
