Control Modules

Product Details:

EST3 Power supplies consist of two assemblies, a high efficiency switch mode power supply card and a power supply monitor module. The monitor module mounts to the local rail and distributes the power from its supply to the local rail. The local rail distributes power from all power supplies to other local rail modules and user interface cards resulting in “Shared Power” throughout the system. By paralleling the power supplies on a rail maximum utilization of available power is possible, resulting in fewer power supplies. Up to four power supplies combine in a single enclosure providing up to 28 amps of available power. Battery backup is provided using from one to four sets of batteries, depending on standby power requirements.

Power supplies mount to the back of the chassis units or wallboxes. The associated power supply monitor module mounts on the local rail providing system power distribution and mounting space for any control display module. Access to auxiliary power is via easily accessible terminal blocks located on the power supply monitor module. Each power supply produces 7 Amps of filtered and regulated power. With four power supplies located in an enclosure (one primary and three booster power supplies) 28 amps of current is available for local rail modules, control display modules and the eight auxiliary 3.5 amp power outputs (two per supply).

Standard Features:

• High efficiency switch mode
• Increased power distribution efficiency - power supplies parallel allowing up to 28 amps in a single node
• 120 or 230 Vac operation
• 7 AMP filtered and regulated
• Two 3.5 AMP outputs

The EST3 Control Display modules provide the emergency user with the simplest of interfaces, lights and switch control. The Control Display modules install over local rail modules. The local rail modules supply the power and drivers via a ribbon cable connection to the control display modules. The displays mount over any local rail module maximizing the flexibility of design layout. When a display module is required where no local rail module exists, an LED Display Support Module 3-LDSM mounts to the local rail providing support for one Control Display Module. Surface mount technology used to minimize space, also reduces the power requirements of display modules. Slide-in labels keep the control display modules flexible and allow labeling for local languages. Module lamp test can be programmed to any spare control switch or a local node lamp test is initiated by simultaneously operating the Alarm Silence and Trouble Silence switches on the 3-CPU.

Standard Features:

• Programmable LED flash rates
• Membrane style tactile pushbuttons
• Software supported for toggle, and latching interlock switch action
• Slide in labels
• Lamp test

The efficient EST3 audio system provides for intuitive local and remote audio control for Mass Notification/Emergency Communications (MNEC), Life Safety and other approved uses. EST3 audio builds from standard modules that fit together easily. Audio components use standard EST3 cabinets and power supplies. Taking full advantage of digital technology, up to eight channels of audio sources transmit over a single twisted pair of wires or fiber optic cables between nodes. Coupling the inherent reliability and performance of zoned amplifiers with EST3 simplified user interfaces makes audio system design and operation easy and dependable. The 3-ASU is seamlessly integrated into an EST3 system to provide for a rugged and reliable communications package that can be configured for Mass Notification/Emergency Communication (MNEC), as well as fire alarm and other emergency functions. The 3-ASU audio source unit supports eight channels of clear digital audio that is easily distributed to panels containing 3-ZA rail amplifiers.

The 3-SSDC1 and 3-SDDC1 Signature Driver Controller modules provide an intelligent interface between the 3-CPU3 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.

Standard Features:

• One or two circuit versions
• Dedicated microprocessor control
• Full digital communication
• Specialized communication protocol – Less sensitive to cable characteristics – Utilize existing wiring in most applications
• Loop alarm in under 750 milliseconds
• Device location supervision – Unexpected additional device addresses – Missing device addresses – Switched device locations – Programmed device parameters
• Automatic nonvolatile as-built mapping – Stores “actual” and “expected” device data – Stores physical connection sequence including “T” taps
• Automatic day/night sensitivity
• Supports up to 250 intelligent Signature detectors and 250 Intelligent Signature Modules
• Up to five 3-SDDC1s per node – Total of 10 Signature circuits

The EST3 audio amplifiers take full advantage of digital technology. Digital messages generated by the Audio Source Unit (ASU) and live paging messages are multiplexed into eight separate channels transmitted over a single twisted pair of wires. Each zoned amplifier contains integrated de-multiplexing circuitry that allows any one of the eight digital audio channels to place messages or signals on the amplifier’s built-in speaker circuit.

Audio channel selection is network software controlled, and audio amplifiers mount in the same enclosures as other EST3 equipment. Power for the amplifiers comes from standard system power supplies through the local rail. Field wiring connects to removable terminal blocks on the amplifier module. Amplifiers support either 25 VRMS or 70 VRMS power limited speaker circuits. For visual signaling, each 20 or 40 watt amplifier comes standard with one 24 Vdc power limited Notification Appliance Circuit that is ideal for strobe use.

Standard Features:

• Three Sizes Available -20 Watts -40 Watts -95 Watts
• Simultaneous eight channel digital audio - Superior sound quality - No signal interruptions during paging
• Speaker circuit built into amplifier - Selectable for 70 or 25 VRMS output - Class A (Style Z) or Class B (Style Y) output - Power limited
• 3.5 amp 24 Vdc notification appliance circuit on 20 and 40 watt amplifiers - Ideal for strobe signals - Class A (Style Z) or Class B (Style Y) output - Power limited
• Network software control of channel selection
• Integral backup tone generator - 1 KHz temporal (3-3-3) tone evac - 1 KHz 20 PPM tone alert

The 3-CPU3 is the Central Processing Unit Module monitoring the status of all modules and providing the link for network communications. Although each local rail card contains their own microprocessor, the 3-CPU3 provides all inter-module communication and has the ability to download rail module operating parameters. Upon power up the 3-CPU3 automatically learns all local rail module attributes and locations. Site specific software is loaded into the 3-CPU3 which then downloads data to each local rail module. Firmware upgrades are also done from the 3-CPU3 eliminating the need to unplug chips on rail modules. Internal rail communications is accomplished in a broadcast protocol for fast response.

Mounting must be in the first two local rail spaces. Options for the 3-CPU3 include the addition of an LCD display and User Interface, RS-232 Communication Card, and RS-485 Series Network Communication Cards.
