EST3 System Operation Manual 1.1

Introduction

Introduction

System operating requirements can be configured based on geographic location and protected premises ownership.

In North America, systems can be configured as protected premises (local) systems or as proprietary systems, both in compliance with NFPA 72.

In the local mode, there is no requirement to acknowledge each individual event. Each event message can be reviewed using the

Previous and Next buttons. System events that automatically restore will automatically be removed from the message queue, without requiring the operator to view a restoral message.

In the proprietary mode, each event must be individually acknowledged by pressing the respective message acknowledge button. The Previous and Next button functions are not available in the proprietary mode. Operators are required to acknowledge both an event and its restoration to remove it from a message queue.

Note:

Alarm and supervisory events do not automatically restore. They remain in their respective message queues until the system is manually reset.

Password protection

Certain front-panel controls and command menu functions are password-protected and have a user access level that is determined by the marketplace setting. The four user access levels are detailed in Table 1-1.

Each access level is given a default password that should be changed once the panel is put into service. See Chapter 2:

Changing user access level passwords for more information.

EST3 System Operation Manual

Introduction

Normally, systems are designed so that instruction text is sent to directly to a printer. It is not intended for use from the panel display.

Display priorities

The panel controller places all events into one of five categories:

• Fire alarms - life safety related events, e.g. smoke detector, sprinkler system waterflow, manual pull station, etc.

• Security alarms - include burglar and holdup alarms, as generated by security devices

• Supervisory events - off normal conditions of a related fire protection system, e.g. sprinkler system valve closed.

• Trouble events - faults within the system

• Monitor events - changes in the status of an ancillary system

Because events can happen at random, the system prioritizes which event is the most critical and displays its information first.

Alarm events have the highest priority and monitor events have the lowest priority.

In the U.S. Local and Proprietary market place, security events have a higher priority than monitor events and are stored in the supervisory queue. For all market place settings other than U.S.

Local and Proprietary, security events and monitor events have equal priority and are stored in the monitor queue.

EST3 System Operation Manual 1.9

Introduction

Message processing

When an event occurs, the system categorizes the event as a fire alarm, security alarm, supervisory event, trouble event, or monitor event. Information about the event is added to a corresponding message queue on the 3-LCD display module.

The information available in each queue is displayed using the event queue buttons on the front of the 3-LCD display.

Note that for display purposes, security alarms and supervisory events are both stored in the supervisory queue.

A panel can store up to 2,000 event messages.

Common event LEDs and queue buttons

The event queue LEDs act as a common event indicator, flashing any time a new event is added to the queue.

Flashing LED indicates that an

Introduction

Optional features

The EST3 system can be configured with many optional features that provide additional capabilities. Your system may include some or all of these options, depending on the needs of your facility. See the site-specific information provided by your system installer to determine which options are installed.

Guard patrol

The guard patrol feature is used to monitor the activities of security guards. Guards are required to walk any one of a number of predetermined routes called tours. During each tour, the guard must activate guard patrol stations that are strategically located along the route. Should a guard activate a station too early, too late, or out of sequence, an active guard patrol message will be displayed on the 3-LCD display module.

EST3 System Operation Manual

EST3 System Operation Manual

Introduction

Figure 1-3 shows five guard patrol routes consisting of five stations. The system designer has assigned a minimum and maximum time allowance for the guard to go between any two guard stations. If the guard arrives too early, too late or at the wrong station, an active guard patrol event is generated.

Starting a tour

There are three ways to start a guard patrol tour:

• Activate the first guard patrol station on the route

• Enable the Guard Patrol group from the 3-LCD module

• Press a control/display panel button programmed to turn on the Guard Patrol group

Note:

A guard patrol station designated as the first station in one guard patrol route can not be the first station in another route.

Ending a tour

A guard patrol tour is automatically ended when all stations on the route have been successfully operated within the allowable time period and in the proper sequence.

Should a tour end with an active guard patrol response, the system must be reset to clear the guard patrol response.

Press the Details button to reveal the stations reporting in.

Clearing a guard patrol alarm

When a guard patrol alarm is generated, you must restore the guard patrol route to clear the alarm. The steps are detailed later in this manual.

Check-in groups

Check-in groups are used to monitor occupants in nursing care facilities. Occupants must check in during their assigned checkin period to signal that they are well. Failure to check in alerts an attendant that something is wrong.

Check-in groups provide two indications when something is wrong. The check-in group sends a Check-In Active message to the 3-LCD display for each member of the group that fails to check in on time. The check-in group sends an Emergency

Active message when the following happens:

• Any member of the group activates their check-in device any time other than the check-in period

• Any member of the group activates their check-in device a second time during the check-in period

1.13

Introduction

1.14

Check-in active message

When a check-in active message is displayed, one or more stations in the check-in group have not been activated during the required time period. The check-in active messages may be viewed in the monitor message queue to determine the location of the event. Contact the late check-in station and determine the problem.

Emergency active message

The emergency active message is displayed when a check-in station is activated outside the check-in period. This is used to signal an emergency condition such as a fall, etc. To determine the location of the check-in station, view the event in the alarm message queue.

Note:

Emergency Active messages are placed in the alarm message queue but the event does not place the panel into alarm.

System timers

The system has a number of optional timers that are required by certain jurisdictions to comply with fire codes. Most of these timer functions do not require operator action, however, understanding the function of these optional timers (if enabled) will improve your understanding of why the system functions as it does.

Alarm silence/reset inhibit timer

The alarm silence/reset inhibit timer is used to guarantee that the notification appliances will sound for the minimum specified period. This timer effectively disables the alarm silence and reset buttons for a predetermined period. While the timers are active, pressing the alarm silence and reset buttons has no effect.

Notes

• Your system may be equipped with notification appliances associated with the fire sprinkler system, which can not be silenced.

• Visual notification appliances can be configured not to turn off when the audible notification appliances are silenced.

Automatic alarm silence timer

The automatic alarm silence timer is used to automatically silence the notification appliances after a preset period, if they have not been silenced using the alarm silence button. Typical timer settings silence the signals from 5 to 30 minutes after operation.

EST3 System Operation Manual

EST3 System Operation Manual

Introduction

Automatic general alarm (GA) timer

Some systems are designed to permit a short investigation period between the detection of a fire and sending a general alarm to the entire facility. The automatic general alarm timer is used to initiate the general alarm after a predetermined time period, if no action has been taken by the operator to prevent the general alarm from being sent.

Time controls

Time controls provide for the automatic starting and stopping of system events based on time and date. Time controls run in the background and do not require any operator action.

Setting holidays

The system provides for special time controls, referred to as holiday time controls. Holiday time controls supersede the normal time controls on dates that are designated as holidays.

The list of dates that are defined as holidays is entered into the system from the 3-LCD Display module.

Control/display module buttons

The buttons on a control/display module use one of three available operating modes.

• Toggle - The state of the button changes each time the button is pushed, i.e. “off” to “on” or “on” to “off.”

• Interlocked - Three adjacent toggle buttons that operate as a group. Pushing any button in the group turns the output of the other two buttons “off” and turns its own output “on.”

• Momentary - The button is “on” only while pressed by the operator.

You may find multiple button modes on a single control/display module. Consult your site-specific documentation for additional information.

Toggle buttons

Toggle buttons are commonly used to control two state operations such as on/off, open/close, speaker select, telephone select, etc. The output of an “on” button remains “on” during panel reset, and must be manually turned “off” when no longer required.

Interlocked buttons

The interlocked mode is commonly used for hands-off auto control of HVAC systems. An interlocked button in the “on”

1.15

Introduction state can be turned “off” without activating a second button by pressing the “on” button a second time. The output of the “on” button remains on, during panel reset, and must be manually returned to “Auto” when no longer required.

Momentary buttons

Momentary buttons are typically to issue brief commands.

Example uses for momentary buttons: lamp tests, function reset, and test sequences. The command is issued only while the button is pressed.

Depending on the operation you are performing, you will be prompted to enter a logical address in one of several formats.

Tip:

Get an SDU Objects report for your system and keep it with this documentation. The SDU Objects report lists all of the addressable devices or circuits in the system and shows their logical addresses.

Panels

The logical address format for a panel is PP, where PP is the cabinet number (01 to 64). For example, enter 01 for the panel designated as Cabinet 1.

(System-wide events that are not related to a particular cabinet use panel number 00.)

To determine a cabinet's panel number, use the Command

Menus to request a Status report. Choose any type of list. The system displays the cabinet's panel number as the default panel number. Once you’ve noted the panel number, press the

Backspace key to exit from the function.

Local rail modules

Local rail modules include the rail modules that connect to the local rail bus and the control/display modules. The logical address format for a local rail module is PPCC, where:

• PP is the cabinet number of the panel containing the rail module

• CC is the address of the rail module

• CC+32 is the address of the control/display module connected to the rail module at slot address CC

For example, enter 0102 for the rail module installed in chassis rail 1, slot 4 of Cabinet 1. Enter 0134 for the control/display module connected to the rail module installed in chassis rail 1, slot 4 of Cabinet 1.

Note:

The rail-slot number and the slot address are not the same.

Slot addresses vary with the cabinet configuration. Refer to

Appendix A: System addresses.

Devices

Devices include the circuits, buttons, or LEDs that exist on the local rail module and all addressable devices connected by the

EST3 System Operation Manual 1.17

Introduction field wiring. The address format for a device is PPCCDDDD, where:

• PP is the cabinet number of the panel containing the rail module

• CC is the address of the rail module responsible for the device

• DDDD is the address of the individual component or circuit

For example, Enter 01340129 for the first LED on the control/display module connected to the rail module installed in chassis rail 1, slot 4 of Cabinet 1.

The CRC Card Reader Controller and KPDISP Keypad Display are devices supported by a 3-SAC module. However, they also act as independent processors, and have their own points and pseudo points. For this reason, their device numbers are further subdivided.

You can think of a SAC device as having this address format:

PPCCSSDD: SS is the CRC or KPDISP device number, as assigned during LRM configuration. DD is a point or pseudo point within the device.

Disabling groups

A group is an object created during system programming.

Groups are required in order to execute certain system functions, but groups bear no physical relationship to the system.

For example, smoke detectors can be assigned to the same zone

group even though they are not attached to the same wire run.

Disabling a group isolates the group from the system just as if it were a hardware component. Disabling a zone group disables each of the devices in the group individually. Disabling other groups only disables the group response.

There are several types of group:

• And group

• Check-in group

• Matrix group

• Service group

• Guard patrol group

• Zone group

• Instruction text group

When you disable a group, the 3-CPU1 lights the 3-LCD Disable

LED and places a Disabled Active event in the trouble queue.

Note:

Before disabling a group, you need to know which devices are included in the group. You should be able to get a list of logical groups and their members from the company that installed the system.

To disable a group:

1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Disable.

2. Choose Group.

3. Choose the group type.

4. Select the group from the list.

5. If prompted, enter a valid user access level password.

Disabling hardware components

Disabling a hardware component isolates the component from the system. While disabled, a component’s state changes are not processed. For example, if a disabled smoke detector changes to the alarm state, the panel will not go into alarm. The panel will go into alarm if you enable the disabled smoke detector and the smoke detector is still in the alarm state.

Hardware components include:

• Devices (input and output circuits, detectors, and modules)

• Rail modules

• Buttons

• LEDs

When you disable a hardware component, the 3-CPU1 lights the

3-LCD Disable LED and places a Disabled Active event in the trouble queue.

Note:

To disable a component you need the component’s logical address. You can get component’s logical addresses from an

SDU Objects report.

To disable a hardware component:

1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Disable.

2. Do one of the following:

• Choose Device to disable: input circuits, output circuits, detectors, or modules

Arming security partitions

A ‘Partition’ can comprise any combination of security, fire, supervisory, and monitor device types as well as EST3 System

Pseudo points. Note that only security device types will generate security alarm events. Partition alarm events are not annunciated on the 3-LCD, they only get annunciated in FireWorks,

Keypad Display units, or as activated LEDs on 3-ANNs and Envoy. Non-security device types will not trigger

Partition Alarm events.

There is virtually no limit on the number of ‘objects’ that can be assigned to a single partition.

A security partition is a group of devices intended to secure a physical area. When you arm a partition, you instruct the system to monitor those devices for armed alarm events.

Partitions can be armed for two states: Stay and Away. Arming to Stay causes the system to monitor only those devices on the perimeter of the protected area. This leaves you free to move about inside the partition. Arming to Away causes the system to monitor all devices, both perimeter and interior.

Before arming the partition, the system checks all the devices in the partition to ensure that they’re in the normal state. Typically, if a device is off-normal it may prevent the partition from being armed. However, you can elect to disable the off-normal device and arm the remaining devices in the partition.

When commanded to conditionally arm, the partition may arm directly or may generate an error or warning under the following conditions:

• The Partition is configured to issue a warning (not error) for non-security objects that are “off-normal”. If non-security objects are configured to issue an error on Partition arming, then the Partition will always issue an error message and will not arm conditionally when any one single error device is “off-normal”. When this occurs, the Partition can only be

‘forced’ into an arm state.

• The total number of “off-normal” non-security devices plus the total number of bypassed or disabled regular security devices do not exceed the maximum number of bypassed/disabled devices (as set in the 3-SDU.)

• When security devices are in a “Test” condition (see Testing

Security Devices), the Partition will arm with no warning even if the number of devices in “Test” exceed the 3-SDU setting for maximum number of bypassed/disabled devices.

Partitions can be commanded to arm unconditionally (i.e., forced arm) irrespective of the error or warning conditions presented, via the following methods:

• An SDU Rule activated by a switch on an EST3 panel.

• An unconditional arm command is issued via FireWorks.

This also requires the proper user access level.

Note:

Issuing an unconditional forced arm command to a

Partition may result in undesirable false security alarm events.

EST3 System Operation Manual 2.13

3-LCD operating instructions

After choosing to arm the partition, the system displays a list of partitions. Scroll through this list and select the partition you wish to arm.

Disarming security partitions

A security partition is a group of devices intended to secure a physical area. When you disarm a partition, you instruct the system to stop monitoring those devices for armed alarm events.

When a partition is disarmed the system generates disarmed alarm events, except for 24Hour security devices which always generate armed alarm events.

When you choose the disarm command, the system checks all the devices in the partition to ensure that they’re in a normal state. If a device is in an off-normal condition while the partition is armed, the panel will restore the armed event and activate the disarmed event.

After you choose the disarm command, the system displays a list of partitions. You scroll through this list and select the partition you wish to disarm.

Note:

Security commands are optional. Project configuration settings determine whether security commands appear on the panel menus.

To disarm a security partition:

1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Security.

2. Choose Partition.

3. Choose Partition Disarm.

4. Scroll through the Partition List and choose the partition you want to disarm.

5. If prompted, enter a valid user access level password.

EST3 System Operation Manual 2.15

3-LCD operating instructions

Resetting security partitions

A security partition is a group of devices intended to secure a physical area. When you reset a partition, you instruct the system to update the status of the devices, then update the event messages in all annunciator message queues.

When you choose the reset command, the system checks all the devices in the partition to determine their current state. Event messages previously stored in message queues are deleted, and new event messages are added as required by the current state of the devices.

After you choose the reset command, the system displays a list of partitions. Only disarmed partitions can be reset. You scroll through this list and select the partition you wish to reset.

Note:

Security commands are optional. Cabinet configuration and card access settings determine whether security commands appear on the panel menus. The Partition Reset command has no effect on fire alarm devices.

To restore a security partition:

1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Security.

2. Choose Partition.

3. Choose Partition Reset.

4. Scroll through the Partition List and choose the partition you want to reset.

5. If prompted, enter a valid user access level password.

2.16

EST3 System Operation Manual

3-LCD operating instructions

Bypassing security devices

When you bypass a security device, the system suppresses the device’s security alarm events, but continues to process all other events (e.g. Tamper, Fault, and Maintenance). For example, say a loading bay door is damaged so that the door contact cannot be closed. This prevents arming of the partition. As a temporary measure you can bypass the door contact to make it possible to arm the partition.

Devices can only be bypassed and unbypassed while the partition is disarmed. When armed, you can not bypass or remove bypasses.

While bypassed, the device’s alarm events are not processed.

The panel will go into alarm if you unbypass the device while it is still in an alarm state.

Security points may be bypassed and disabled at the same time.

In this state, the disable takes priority and only the disable state is annunciated. When the point becomes enabled, the bypass indication will once again be displayed.

Note:

To bypass a device you need the device’s logical address.

You can get device’s logical addresses from an SDU Objects report. In addition, the SDU includes a setting that defines how many points in a partition can be bypassed and still allow arming of that partition.

To bypass a security device:

1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Security.

2. Choose Device.

3. Choose Bypass.

4. Enter the logical address of the device.

5. If prompted, enter a valid user access level password.

Guard patrol groups

Guard patrol groups are used to monitor the activities of security guards. A security guard can be required to walk any one of a number of predetermined tours. During each tour, the guard must activate guard patrol stations that are located along the tour.

When a guard activates a station too early, too late, or out of sequence, the 3-LCD displays a Guard Patrol Active message in the alarm message queue. The operator can press the Details button to determine which station reported in.

Starting a guard patrol

Activating a guard patrol group starts the system’s early, late, and out of sequence sensing mechanisms. If a station reports in early, late, or out of sequence, the guard patrol sensing mechanisms stop and the tour is ended.

To activate a guard patrol:

1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Activate.

2. Choose Guard Patrol Route.

3. Select the guard patrol route from the list.

4. If prompted, enter a valid user access level password.

Check-in groups

Check-In groups are used to monitor occupants in nursing care facilities. Occupants must activate their check in device during their assigned check-in period. The 3-LCD displays a Check-In

Active message for any member of a group that fails to check in on time. Activating a check-in device anytime outside the checkin period or a second time within the check-in period sends an

Emergency Active message to the 3-LCD display.

Activating a check-in group

Activating a check-in group starts the group’s check-in sequence. The 3-LCD displays a Function Active, Check-In

Activate event to signal the operator that a check-in timer has started. If every member of the group checks in, the group automatically restores after the time-out period expires, and the panel returns to normal operation.

If any member fails to check in, a Check-In Group Activate event is generated for each failed check-in. Again, the Check-In function will automatically restore upon expiration of the timeout period.

Note:

Normally time controls are used to activate check-in groups. you can also use the Enable command to activate a check-in group.

To activate a check-in group:

1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Activate.

2. Choose Check-In Group.

3. Select the group from the list.

4. If prompted, enter a valid user access level password.

3-LCD operating instructions

Restoring a check-in group

Typically, when all members of the check-in group respond within the time-out period (as established in the 3-SDU), the

Function Active, Check-In Activate event restores automatically and no other events associated with the check-in group will be reported. However, if any member fails to respond within the time-out period, the following sequence must be enacted to restore the check-in devices to the group at the conclusion of the time-out period. Otherwise, EST3 will consider those devices as being out-of-service for all subsequent check-in group activations.

Note:

The check-in group time-out period must be expired and member devices must have failed to respond. Otherwise, activating member devices under otherwise normal conditions will trigger an emergency alarm event.

To restore devices that did not respond within the time-out period:

• Activate and restore each check-in device that did not respond within the time-out period.

EST3 System Operation Manual 2.21

Changing the smoke detector sensitivity level

Smoke detectors can operate using two levels of sensitivity, called primary sensitivity and alternate sensitivity. The system configures smoke detectors to use their primary sensitivity level

(typically, less sensitive) during normal business hours. A time control then reconfigures the smoke detectors to use their alternate sensitivity level (typically, more sensitive) after hours when the premises are unoccupied.

Testing alarm input devices

In order to test an alarm input device, the device must be part of a service group. Service groups allow alarm input devices to be activated without placing the system into alarm. The protected premises may be divided into more than one service group to make testing possible without leaving the entire premises unprotected.

Without any additional programming, you can test alarm input devices by:

• Putting the service group into test

• Activating each of the devices in the service group

• Verifying each of the devices show up on the active points list

• Canceling the test

Note:

Putting a service group into test introduces a Service

Group Active event in the trouble queue. You can press the

Details button to verify which service group is in test.

To put a service group into test:

1. Press the Command Menus button , then choose Test.

2. Choose Start Test.

EST3 System Operation Manual

Testing security input devices

The information provided in section “Testing alarm input devices” applies equally to all security input devices. However, there are certain nuances that apply to security devices only.

With the service group activated, security devices will generate

Test Events only in accordance with their expected operation relative to their armed conditions.

The following example applies equally for all security device types:

For Security Interior devices, if the partition is disarmed or armed stay, Test Events will not be generated on the activation of the device. If the partition is armed away, Test Events will be generated on the activation of the device. However, there is a slight exception. If, after activating the Service Group, the

Security Interior device is activated (and not restored) while the partition is disarmed, a Test Event will be generated immediately when the partition is armed even if the armed state is stay.

The exception in the above example happens as a result of a status update that occurs for all partition devices when partitions are armed. On evaluating the results of the status update, EST3 generates the Test Events after recognizing the active state of the security device with respect to the active state of the Service

Group irrespective of the device type and armed conditions. This applies to all security device types.

Another rule that applies for security devices is that partitions must be disarmed and reset in order to clear all security Test

Events from the Monitor queues in both EST3 and FireWorks.

Canceling the service group test is not sufficient.

3-ASU operating instructions

Operation the Audio Source Unit

The function of a life safety system is to alert people occupying a facility of an emergency. The Audio Source Unit is designed to permit rapid selection and paging to the affected areas of the facility. For example, the page signal automatically overrides any other signals.

Event signaling

In large facilities, the people most effected by an emergency should be instructed to evacuate the area immediately, and people not in immediate danger should receive an alert signal.

Since most large facilities have a significant number of transient occupants, the most effective signaling is a combination of attention getting tones, followed by instructional messages.

The information provided here is general in nature. Each facility is unique. The life safety system in your facility has been designed by fire safety professionals to meet the specific requirements of the fire codes in your location. Please refer to the site-specific instructions provider by the installer to determine the exact operation of your system.

Evacuation (EVAC) Signaling

The evacuation signal notifies facility occupants that they are in immediate danger, and must evacuate the area. Evacuation signals can take the form of bells, horns, tones, and audio messages. Accompanying the audio message is a visual notification appliance, typically a flashing strobe light.

The system automatically activates all the evacuation signals in the affected areas of the facility.

Alert Signaling (optional)

The alert signal notifies the occupants of a facility that: an emergency event is in progress; they are not in immediate danger; and they should prepare to evacuate, but not to evacuate at this time. Alert signals are typically tones or audio messages.

The system automatically activates the alert signals (if programmed in your system) in the affected areas of the facility.

Page Messages

The most reliable source of information about an emergency event comes from the individual who is in charge of the facility during the emergency. This individual is typically the fire chief or facility manager. The page function permits the individual in charge to make announcements to selected portions of the

3.4

EST3 System Operation Manual

EST3 System Operation Manual

3-ASU operating instructions building, advising occupants of what actions to take for safe egress, etc.

Basic response tasks

The basic tasks in responding to an emergency event are:

1. Use the All Call function to announce the arrival of the fire department, making any necessary announcements.

2. Use the Page to Evac function to reinforce the evacuation of the occupants in areas receiving the evacuation signal. As an example, occupants may be directed to follow the evacuation plan, not to use the elevators, etc.

3. Use the Page to Alert function to notify the areas not in immediate danger to prepare to evacuate, or that people in the evacuation area may be entering their area as an area of refuge.

4. Use the All Call Minus switch to make announcements to areas of the facility not receiving the Evac or Alert signals, as required. Stairwells are typical areas accessed using the

All Call Minus page function.

5. The zone page controls may be used to manually select paging areas.

Paging sequence

Select the areas to receive the page by pressing the appropriate page function switch(s). The switch’s integral LED will be on steady when the system is ready to receive the page.

Press the PTT switch on the microphone. The Ready to Page

LED will flash while the pre-announcement tone is sounding.

Begin the announcement once the Ready to Page LED is on steady. Adjust your voice level so that the far right LED on the volume meter only flickers occasionally. Release the PTT switch when the announcement is finished. The system will turn off the page, and return to its pre-page condition after a short delay.

Note:

The local microphone has priority over a telephone page, which has priority over a remote microphone page.

Each installation is customized. Please refer to your site-specific documentation to determine which areas of your facility automatically receives the page, or how to select the areas to receive the page.

Phone page

If your system is equipped with a firefighter’s telephone circuit, you can connect the telephone circuit to the page function by pressing the Phone Page switch. This permits an individual

3.5

3-ASU operating instructions talking on the firefighter’s telephone system to make announcements over the paging system.

Establish the phone connection over the Firefighter’s Telephone

Control Unit. Select the areas to receive the page the same way as if it were to be originated using the microphone. Instruct the individual who is remote paging to begin speaking after the preannouncement tone has finished. Press the Phone Page Switch and begin the phone page. The phone page is under complete control of the 3-ASU/FT, and may be interrupted at any time by pressing the Phone Page switch a second time.

Paging with the remote microphone

If your system is equipped with the remote paging microphone, it may be used to issue pages throughout the facility. The remote microphone page is automatically overridden by any pages issued by the local microphone in the Audio Source Unit or a phone page.

Each remote microphone installation is customized. Please refer to your site-specific documentation to determine which areas of your facility automatically receives the page, or how to select the areas to receive the page.

3.6

EST3 System Operation Manual

3-ASU operating instructions

Optional audio zone controls

The system can provide total manual control of the paging signals. This permits the individual in charge to extend the coverage area of the page beyond the pre-programmed areas.

Your system may have the option of manually directing the page message using one of the types of control/display modules shown in Figure 3-2. The specific type and location of these displays will vary, however the basic functions are similar.

Figure 3-2: Control/display module options

Pressing a zone select switch on the displays shown in Figure

3-2A and Figure 3-2B adds that zone to any zones selected by the page function switches on the Audio Source Unit. The LED in the upper left corner of each floor’s control/display module is on when the floor is selected. The LED in the lower left corner on display B is used to annunciate trouble on an amplifier or notification appliance circuit associated with the zone.

The control/display module shown in Figure 3-2C is used to manually direct the Evac and Alert signals as well as the page

EST3 System Operation Manual 3.7

3-ASU operating instructions message to individual areas of the facility. The LEDs can be programmed to follow any automatic system responses as well as manual audio zone selections.

The control/display module shown in Figure 3-2D is used to manually direct the Evac signal and pages to individual areas of the facility. The center switch is inoperative. This configuration is typically used in facilities where the alert signal is automatically sent to all areas not receiving the evacuation signal. The LEDs follow any automatic system responses as well as manual audio zone selections. The Status LED can be programmed to indicate the trouble state of the zone amplifier.

System addresses

Address format

Tip: To determine a local panel's cabinet number, use the 3-LCD command menu to get the status on all the active points on the panel. When prompted for a panel number, enter 00.

The panel returns the startup response point's logical address. The first two numbers of the logical address is the cabinet number.

The system derives the addresses it assigns from the panel’s cabinet number and the LRM’s location within the panel (see

Figure A-1). The basic address format is PPCCDDDD, where:

PP is the panel’s cabinet number. The cabinet number is assigned when the installer downloads the CPU database into the panel.

CC is the LRM’s slot address. The cabinet number and the slot address make up the LRM’s logical address.

DDDD is the device’s point address. The LRM’s logical address and device’s point address make up the device or circuit’s logical address.

The CRC Card Reader Controller and KPDISP Keypad Display are devices supported by a 3-SAC module. However, they also act as independent processors, and have their own points and pseudo points. For this reason, their device numbers are further subdivided.

You can think of a SAC device as having this address format:

PPCCSSDD: SS is the CRC or KPDISP device number, as assigned during LRM configuration. DD is a point or pseudo point within the device.
