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.

1.8 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.

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.

Tour #5
Figure 1-3: Sample guard patrol route assignments

1.12 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 check-
in 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

EST3 System Operation Manual 1.13

Introduction

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.

1.14 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”

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.

 Introduction

Entering logical addresses

Each addressable device or circuit in the system has a logical
address. This includes panels, local rail modules, and devices.
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.

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,

Enabling hardware components

Enabling a hardware component re-establishes a disabled
component as part of the system. When enabled, any changes in
state that occurred while the component was disabled are
processed. For example, if you enable a smoke detector that
changed to the alarm state while it was disabled the panel will
go into alarm.
Hardware components consist of:
• Devices (input and output circuits, detectors, and modules)
• Rail modules
• Buttons
• LEDs
To enable a disabled component you need the component’s
logical address. You can get a disabled component’s logical
address from the disabled points list.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 time-
out period.

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.

alternate sensitivity level (typically, more sensitive) after hours
when the premises are unoccupied.
You can use menu commands to manually switch between
sensitivity levels as required. To change to the alternate
sensitivity level, you activate alternate sensitivity. To change to
primary sensitivity level, you restore primary sensitivity.

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.

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.

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

 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

EST3 System Operation Manual 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 pre-
announcement 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

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.

To answer an incoming call

1. Silence the call-in buzzer by pressing the ACK

(acknowledge) switch. The buzzer will re-sound each time a
new incoming call is received.
2. If multiple calls are shown in the display, stop the call
identifier sequencing by pressing the Review Pending switch
once. Each additional activation of the Review Pending
switch manually steps the display through the list of
incoming calls. When the desired call appears on the
pending calls identification line, stop stepping through the
calls.
3. To answer the selected call, press the Connect switch. The
call identifier will move from the pending calls
identification line of the display to the connected call list at
the bottom of the display, as shown in Figure 4-5. Once
connected, you may begin your conversation.
