As a mid-range panel with big system features and performance, EST2 has taken the life safety industry by storm. Its capacity and price make it ideal for commercial installations, hospitals, and schools. But when it comes down to it, typical applications for EST2 are virtually endless.
The EST2 Intelligent Control Panel sets an unprecedented design plateau for cost effective analog addressable fire detection systems. The concept is straight forward...provide an intelligent controller capable of using all the strengths and features of the Signature Services devices, including the unique Multisensor Smoke Detectors. Make the system installation simple and incorporate the industry's most sophisticated and innovative software features while providing the finest user friendly system ever devised. EST2 is optimized for efficient installation. Existing wiring, mapping, and autoprogramming reduce installation time.
Taking full advantage of Signature Series intelligent detectors and modules, EST2 offers the very best in analog technology including automatic device mapping and programming, detailed reports, as well as electronic addressing, which means there are no dip-switches or dials to set. And, because its unique communications protocol accommodates traditional hard-wired device circuits, this system is superbly suited to retrofit projects of nearly any size.
EST2 supports 192 intelligent detectors or 600 conventional detectors and 188 intelligent input/output modules, as well as a generous mix of detector bases. However, as many as 5 network nodes can combine to support an impressive 960 intelligent detectors and 3,000 conventional devices. Nodes drive as many as 30 remote annunciators each with a capacity of 96 input/out functions. Peer-to-peer commmunication ensures survivability while 3 second response guarantees unbeatable performance.
EST2's audio features break down even more barriers to mid-range systems with single or dual channel support. Emergency voice paging, evacuation signaling, and firefighter's telephones all integrate seamlessly into the system, which supports either distributed or banked amplifiers.
