Introduction to module 1
GE Securitys EST3 is a multiplexed fire alarm network that can
link up to 64 panel controllers (nodes) together to form a peerto-peer token ring network. EST3 is designed with modular
hardware and software components to ensure rapid
configuration, installation, and testing. Most of the network
components are quick connect, plug-in assemblies that
provide data processing, inter-panel communications,
response data, audio signal processing, and power
distribution. In addition, each module provides standoffs to
support a variety of operator layer control/display
(Switch/LED) modules. The control/display modules operate
independently from the modules to which they are attached.
As you begin this study of GE Securitys EST3, it is important to
understand that your education has four parts.
Part 1 is this EST3 Self-Study Course. This course introduces
the components of the system, their function and features,
and their installation procedures. This self-study also
introduces you to some basis prerequisite programming
knowledge you will need to learn prior to attending factory
training. Upon completing this course, you will be able to
identify each EST3 component, discuss its function and
features, demonstrate the ability to install it properly and
discuss the basis configuration and programming aspects of
the EST3 systems 3-SDU configuration applications software.
Part 2 is the EST3 Programming and Network Course, which is
instructor led, factory-based training that takes place at the
GE Security Training Center in Bradenton, Florida. Here you will
receive instruction on state-of-the-art programming
techniques for the EST3 data entry program, called the System
Definition Utility, (3-SDU). This course is application-driven and
is designed to provide you with the most effective means of
programming the integrated EST3 system for fire applications.
For this reason, advanced programming of an EST3 network is
not discussed in this self-study course.
Part 3 is the EST3 Synergy Enabled 3-MODCOM self-study
Course. This course describes the features and capabilities of
the 3-MODCOM and 3-MODCOMP, which are modem and
dialer local rail modules used in integrated EST3 system
environments. This course describes MODCOM operations,
installation considerations and introduces you to the basic
MODCOM configuration and programming process required
to incorporate the MODCOM into an integrated EST3
environment for fire applications.

1.8
When you begin this chapter, note the power-limited and nonpower-limited wiring requirements in a typical cabinet,
described in the 3-CAB Series Enclosure Equipment Backboxes
installation sheets (P/N 387557) and 3-CAB-E Series
Equipment Enclosure Doors (P/N 270488 and P/N 387549). In
addition, closely read the cabinet installation instructions in
the 3-CAB and 3-CHAS7 (P/N 270484) installation sheets. Here
you will find step-by-step instructions on assembling the EST3
cabinets.
Pay particular attention to the description of the layers
involved in a full cabinet assembly in Chapter 1, under the
heading System construction. Observe the relationship
between the chassis/rail assembly, local rail modules (LRMs),
and the control/display modules.
As shown in its installation sheet (P/N 270487), the 3-CAB5
cabinet enclosures are different from the 3-CAB7, 3-CAB14
and 3-CAB21 cabinets used for EST3 panels because it is
made for small installations. The 3-CAB5 consists of a
backbox, inner door, and an outer door with a viewing
window. It holds up to 5 modules and two 10 Ah, 12 Vdc
batteries. The modules are plugged into a built-in assembly of
two rails, upper and lower, which are attached to the
sidewalls of the back box. The rails are removable to permit
ready mounting the power supply assembly on the backbox
footprint.
Note: If the battery requirements exceed the battery size
permitted in any cabinet, a remote closet cabinet (install sheet
P/N 270488) may be used. In standard form, these can store
up to two 50 Ah batteries. Optionally, with the 3-BATS battery
shelves installed (install sheet 387338), they can store up to
two 65 Ah batteries. Any battery size larger than this would
require an external battery cabinet.
The remaining EST3 cabinets are the 3-CAB7, 3-CAB14, and
3-CAB21. Each of these cabinets consists of a backbox, an
inner door, and an outer door with a viewing window. The last
digits in the cabinet model number indicate the number of
rail-slots where mounted modules may be installed in each
cabinet type. In these cabinets the rail assemblies are
preinstalled in one of three assembly types called a 3-CHAS7,
3-ASU/CHAS4, or 3-ASU/FT chassis.
Chassis: The chassis assembly is a large, horizontally
mounted U-shaped plate that is mounted to the cabinets
backbox. Each of the 3-CHAS7 chassis assemblies contains
one pair of rails. The chassis is best understood as a three
layer-mounting frame.
1.9
The first is the inner layer, which is the rear of the chassis
assembly and is attached to the back box. It contains
mounting spaces (footprints) for the non-rail mounted
components which include primary and booster power
supply heat sink assemblies, audio source unit cards, and
firefighters telephone control unit cards. There is a 1/2
footprint used for special application cards such as the rail
chassis expansion card and the CDR-3 Zone Coder card.

As you can see, the upper and lower rails are almost identical.
Each set of rails provides an upper and lower assembly to
mount up to seven modules.
There is a set of four plugs at the right end of each rail. The
two larger outer plugs are for Data In and Data Out. The
smaller inner plugs are for Power In and Power Out. These
plugs are where the connections are made from one chassis
assembly to another within a cabinet.
Details on LRM installation to rails are provided in the EST3
Installation Sheets Manual and the respective LRMs install
sheets.
In Figure 1-8, a 3-CPU1 or 3-CPU3 panel controller LRM is
installed on the rail assembly. This card is a dual local rail
module; therefore it requires two module spaces or slots on
the rail assembly.

Multi-priority, peer-to-peer, token passing network is a
microprocessor communication network where electronically
there is no master panel. Each panel in the network must
contain a 3-CPU1or 3-CPU3 with RS-485 or 3-FIB network
card and is equally capable and provides what is termed
peer-to-peer communication. A token passing network
operates differently from a traditional multi-drop network.
Where, in a token passing network, the panel having the
token is temporarily in charge of the network and there is no
master panel.

Now lets look at network audio wiring. There are two methods
for wiring network audio, based on the type of CPU used in
your system. In the older 3-CPU systems network, audio is
limited to Class B only. In the 3-CPU1 and 3-CPU3 systems,
network audio can be configured Class A or B.
Figure 1-19 shows the 3-CPU1 and 3-CPU3 TB2 audio
connections for standalone operation, where the 3-ASU TB1
terminals 1 and 2 for primary audio data, are connected to
the 3-CPU1 TB2 terminals 14 and 13, which are for Audio Out.
Because there is no 3-RS485 option card for standalone
applications the audio connections are made to the Audio Out
for these systems.
Connecting the ASU primary audio to the Audio In terminals in
a standalone configuration will cause a configuration fault
within the system. If it is desired to connect to the Audio In
terminals, a 3-RS485 option card must be added to the
standalone application.

Only one 3-ASU can control a network audio riser in the three
types of CPU applications. The 3-CPU network node
interconnection uses the RS-485R, while the 3-CPU1 or 3CPU3 network node utilizes the RS-485B. When more than one
firefighter telephone panel and riser are required in a 3-CPU1
or 3-CPU3 system application, an additional 3-ASU must be
installed with the additional 3-FTCU. However, this ASU cannot
be connected to the existing network audio riser.
Figure 1-22 shows an example of audio data network node
interconnections for 3-CPU1 and 3-CPU3 applications, which
support Class A and B network audio riser using the 3-RS485A
option card. Effectively this is a redundant Class B configure
which emulates Class A.

This option card is used to add two RS-232 ports to the 3CPU1 or 3-CPU3. The 3-RS232 communications card plugs
into J3 on the back of the 3-CPU1or 3-CPU3 module. This card
adds two program configurable serial ports at TB2 for the
connection of printers, PCs, CDR-3 coder and/or a gateway
graphics front-end.
Refer to Figure 1-27 for the TB2 terminals used for 3-RS232
connections. The 3-RS232 Port 1 is an isolated port on TB2
terminals 5 through 8 and the 3-RS232 Port 2 is on TB2
terminals 1 through 4.
These ports are configurable for supervised or unsupervised
operation. When a port is configured using the EST3
applications software and the port is configured for
unsupervised operation, when nothing is connected to it, it
does not report to the control panel.

As you will learn later, these LCD displays provide the operator
interface with the EST3 network. It is important to remember
that this component is optional. While you are required to
install a LCD in the cabinet where operator interface is desired
(at least one in the system), it is not required with any other
CPU in the networked system. If the LCD display is not needed
for this cabinet, two blank plates may be installed on the
CPUs standoffs.
To install the LCD Display panel (3-LCD shown), simply connect
the ribbon cable between the respective LCD and J1 on the
respective CPU module and snap the LCD into the left-most
standoffs. Remember, to route the ribbon cable so it goes into
the module to the right.

Summary
2.1
Introduction to module 2
The 3-LCD and 3-LCDXL are special EST3 control/display
modules. These display modules mount on the hinged
standoffs of the 3-CPU1or 3-CPU3 Central Processor modules
and provides the operator interface for standalone or network
system configurations.
Only one 3-LCD or 3-LCDXL1 display is required for an entire
network, located at the point (node) of control. However,
additional LCD displays can be added to any CPU in the
network to provide remote control and annunciation. These
LCD displays are also provided with the 3-ANNCPU for EST-3
remote annunciator applications.
This module of the self-study course describes the 3-LCD and
3-LCDXL1 features, their basic operation, and the special
functions they can perform. We also discuss the other
control/LED display panels available for EST3 fire alarm
networks. These control/LED display panels are installed on
the hinged standoffs of typical local rail modules.
Finally, we will look at the addressing scheme used in EST3
systems. This will help you to understand how a system is laid
out and permit you to read address information on these LCD
displays effectively.

Event lines
The reversed text area displays the first, oldest or most
recently reviewed event message (alarm in this example) of
the selected queue type. The first line is generated by the EST3
system, and shows the event sequence number and the event
type. The second and third lines are a custom location
message for the device. The custom location message is
limited to two lines of 21 characters each.
In the attended mode, where the operator has intervened, this
area contains the last active event that has not been
acknowledged or reviewed. After the operator has reviewed
and acknowledged all of the events, this area contains the
last event in the selected queue that was acknowledged.
The three lines below the reversed text area display the last
received, highest priority, active event in the selected queue.
In this case, we have chosen the simple example of a fifth
alarm event. The custom message for this device is only one
line, so a total of two lines are displayed for the event.
This area always contains the last event received in the
selected queue.
Bottom line
The bottom line shows you the total number of active events
for each event queue type, displayed in order of priority, from
left to right. You can tell here, how many messages you have
waiting in each event type queue.

Event lines
The reversed text area displays the first, oldest or most
recently reviewed event message (alarm in this example) of
the selected queue type. The first line identifies this as the
currently selected alarm and the second line is generated by
the EST3 system, and shows the event sequence number and
the event type. The third line is a custom location message for
the device. The custom location message is limited to one line
of 40 characters.
Up to 7 active events may be displayed in the alarm queue. In
the attended mode, where the operator has intervened, this
area contains up to seven active events that have not been
acknowledged or reviewed. After the operator has reviewed
and acknowledged all of the events, this area contains the
last event in the selected queue that was acknowledged.
The three lines below this alarm queue area display the last
received, highest priority, active event in the selected queue.
In this case, we have chosen the simple example of a fifth
alarm event.
This area always contains the last event received in the
selected queue.
Bottom line
The bottom two lines shows you the total number of active
events for each event queue type, displayed in order of
priority, from left to right. You can tell here, how many
messages you have waiting in each event type queue.
Note: In either case (3-LCD or 3-LCDXL1), pressing any of the
queue acknowledge select buttons places the display in the
attended mode to review and acknowledge events in the
corresponding queue. This prevents the displayed reverse
text area from being updated by an event of a higher priority.
These displays automatically return to the unattended mode
after the user timeout period (5 seconds default) has expired.

For this example, lets assume that this 3-CAB14 is the twelfth
cabinet on the network and assigned a logical panel address
of 12. Therefore, the logical address of the first point (device or
object) on the fourth module (logical LRM address 09) in the
second chassis would be 12090001. The actual type of device
would depend on the type of LRM installed at address 09. Lets
look at some different types of devices for this LRM and its
control/LED display module.
If it were a 3-SSDC, device addressing would be:

Introduction to module 3
At this point, you have become familiar with the basic
components of the standalone and network EST3 fire alarm
systems.
In the first self-study module we discussed the EST3
enclosures available and their required operating
components. This included the 3-CPU1 and 3-CPU3 Central
Processor (panel controller) modules, primary and booster
power supplies and their associated monitors, and the 3-CPU1
and 3-CPU3 plug-in cards.
In module 2 we discussed the 3-LCD and 3-LCDXL Displays,
the auxiliary control/LED display (LED and switch) modules,
and EST3 addressing conventions.
The EST3 system has several optional input/output (I/O)
interface modules. These modules provide the CPUs with
input points (devices or objects) such as alarm, supervisory,
trouble, and monitor. Moreover, they provide output points
(devices or objects) for operating audible or visible notification
appliances and various other controlled outputs. All of the
EST3 I/O modules are LRMs and are installed on the chassis
rail assemblies. Each I/O module operates in a different way,
depending on the types of devices it supports.
In this self-study module we will discuss the first of these I/O
interface modules, the 3-IDC8/4 Traditional Zone I/O module.
This module provides the interface between traditional IDC
and NAC conventional devices and the EST3 environment. This
module lets you configure these devices with the labeling
conventions required for SDU programming applications.

24 Vdc.
Audio signals.
3.6
As you read about the 3-IDC8/4 module, note that the NAC
circuits are configured in pairs. NAC circuits 1/2 and 5/6 are
paired together. Therefore, if an audio signal is coming in on
NAC IN 1/2, the outputs of both IDC/NAC 1 and 2 are audio.
However, a different external signal source (such as 24 Vdc)
may be used for IDC/NAC 5 and 6 via NAC IN 5/6.
When IDC/NAC 1 and 2 or IDC/NAC 5 and 6 are configured as
NACs, each pair shares a common source. The JP1 through
JP4 jumpers select the signal source for each pair. That is, the
jumper settings select whether the input power for the NAC
pairs comes from an external or an internal source. For audio
applications, the jumpers must be set for external (70 Vrms @
100 W).
When using a 24 Vdc source for the NAC circuits, the power
may be drawn internally (from the rails) or externally through
the terminal connection block. Refer to the jumper setting
table in the installation sheets or the jumper settings shown
below to configure the internal/external operation of the 3IDC8/4.

Summary
4.1
Introduction to module 4
In this module we will discuss the second of the optional EST3
I/O interface modules, the 3-AADC Analog Addressable Driver
Controller module. This module provides the interface
between System Sensor type addressable sensor and module
devices and the EST3 environment. This module lets you
configure these devices with the labeling conventions
required for developing 3-SDU programming applications.
The 3-AADC module provides an EST3 3-CPU1 or 3-CPU3 with
analog addressable input points (devices or objects) such as
alarm, supervisory, trouble, and monitor. Additionally, this
module provides addressable output points (devices or
objects) for operating audible or visible notification appliances
and various other controlled outputs. The 3-AADC is an LRM
and is installed on the chassis rail assembly.

Introduction to module 5
In Module 3 you were introduced to the 3-IDC8/4 Traditional
Zone I/O module, designed for non-addressable, traditional
inputs and outputs. In Module 4 you were introduced to the 3AADC Analog Addressable module, designed for analog
addressable inputs and outputs. The primary function of these
modules is to provide a method for the 3-CPU1and 3-CPU3 to
identify and communicate with hard-wired, non-intelligent fire
alarm circuits connected to the 3-IDC8/4, or with analog
addressable fire alarm circuits connected to the 3-AADC.
In this module we will discuss a third type of input/output
interface module, the 3-SSDC(1) and 3-SDDC(1) Signature
Driver Controller modules. These modules support individually
addressed intelligent Signature Series detectors and modules.
It is important to understand that each detector and module
has its own on-board microprocessor that allows it to make its
own decisions and retain specific information about itself.
The 3-SSDC(1) Single Signature Driver Controller with its
attached 3-SDC Signature Data Card is specifically designed
to communicate with and control Signature Series devices on
a single data line. The 3-SDDC(1) Dual Signature driver
controller has two attached 3-SDC Signature Data cards and
is specifically designed to communicate with and control
Signature Series devices on two Signature data lines. Both
controllers act as a data interface between Signature Series
devices and the 3-CPU1 or 3-CPU3 main panel controller.
In this module, we will look at the single and dual Signature
driver controllers and discuss their installation procedures.
Additionally, we will discuss the Signature Series devices and
some typical applications.

The SIGA-IPHS is commonly called the 4D detector. This
detector contains three sensing elements: ionization,
photoelectric, and 65 F above ambient temperature heat.
These sensing elements are combined with a fourth element
(time) in an on-board algorithm.
The 4D multi-sensor smoke detector is the most advanced
smoke detector in the fire alarm industry. Combining the
outputs of three sensors and time through the on-board
algorithm results in the fastest, most accurate response to fire
within the industry.
This detector is virtually resistant to false alarms when
manufacturer specifications and recommendations are
followed.

The first three bases are available in two models. For example,
the standard base is available as either the SIGA-SB or the
SIGA-SB4. The SIGA-SB fits only in a North American 1-gang
box. The SIGA-SB4 fits the North American 1-gang box or a
standard 4-inch by 1 1/2-inch deep octagon box. This also
applies the SIGA-RB (SIGA-RB4) and SIGA-IB (SIGA-IB4) bases.

Figure 5-7 illustrates the base and shows the typical wiring for
the SIGA-SB or SIGA-SB4 with Remote SIGA-LED connected.

In a Class B circuit, a short is isolated from the 3-SSDC(1) or 3SDDC(1) by opening the data line at the SIGA-IB base located
electrically closest to the short, on the 3-SSDC(1) or 3-SDDC(1)
side of the short. In a Class A circuit, a short is isolated
between the two SIGA-IB bases on both sides of the short
located electrically closest to the short.
Figure 5-9 illustrates this base and shows typical wiring of the
SIGA-IB or SIGA-IB4.

Summary
6.1
Introduction to module 6
We live in an era of high rise buildings, multiple building
complexes, and massive shopping malls. The enormous
amount of floor space in these structures creates a need to
control panic and the movement of people during life safety
emergencies.
Let us suppose, for example, that a fire occurred on one floor
of a large multi-level office building. Obviously, a general
alarm would cause all the people in the building to evacuate.
This would immediately produce a dangerous situation in two
ways. First, the people in immediate danger, on the fire floor,
would be delayed or even blocked in their attempt to
evacuate. Second, the mass movement of people in a
confined space could (and often does) result in injury or death.
Ordinary notification Appliances (i.e., lights, horns, and bells)
cannot control the movement of large numbers of occupants.
Emergency voice paging was introduced to give the
occupants of these types of facilities specific verbal
instructions on evacuation. Audio systems are an integral part
of EST3. One-way communication is established with the basic
paging system using a microphone, amplifier, and speakers.
Automatic tone signaling and recorded voice messages are
also available. Two-way communication is accomplished
through the firefighter telephone system.
The EST3 system offers a unique, state-of-the-art audio
system. It is specifically designed to meet the diversified fire
system audio requirements found in the industry today. EST3
combines eight prioritized channels of multiplexed, digital
audio on a single-wire pair with the flexibility of zoned
amplifiers. It is capable of delivering up to eight messages or
signals simultaneously. Furthermore, this audio system
provides local, remote, and firefighter phone paging. Finally, it
features an integral tone generator and an integral digital
voice message playback unit.
In this module you are introduced to the components of the
EST3 audio system, their installation procedures, and their
basic operation.

The All Call switch activates the all call mode. This mode is
used to send a page to the entire facility. In this mode, the
page is switched to all eight channels by the 3-ASU.
Pressing this switch a second time exits this mode.
Note: When the operator presses the push-to-talk switch
in this mode, his or her message is broadcast on all
channels and all amplifiers are activated by a command
from the 3-CPU1 or 3-CPU3.
6.16
The All Call Minus switch activates the all call minus
mode. This mode is used when you want to page to all
areas not receiving the evacuation or alert messages.
This time the page channel takes control of the amplifiers
not receiving an alert or evacuation message.

19.2 K baud.
28.8 K baud.
56.7 K baud (default).
76.8 K baud.
115.2 K baud.
As shown in Figure 7-16, in dialer applications, an event at a
device on the 3-SAC bus is sent to the 3-CPU1 or 3-CPU3 for
processing via the 3-SAC LRM and then the appropriate event
message is sent to the Central Monitoring Station via the 3MODCOM.

The KPDISP Keypad Display consists of an 8-line by 21character backlit LCD display, a backlit telephone style
keypad, a variable tone sounder and an internal processor.
The KPDISP has a removable hinged cover with space for
operation instructions.
The KPDISP supports up to two displayed languages, which
are selected in the 3-SDU from those available for the EST3.
The KPDISP Display access requires a password, enabling the
qualified user to:
Arm or disarm security partitions.
Review off-normal point events.
Bypass or include points.
Perform life safety functions
The user simply interacts with KPDISP menu driven displays to
view event information, status, or to choose commands.
Menu commands are custom configurable, within the 3-SDU,
by the system programmer on a user-by-user basis. Where
each user can be granted or denied access to any configured
partition controlled by the KPDISP.
The KPDISP module also contains a variable-tone sounder.
This sounder is programmed, using the 3-SDU, to emit tones
of a specific frequency and duration, providing audible
feedback to the user.
KPDISP user privileges are also configured by the 3-SDU and
also by the KPDICP-CF keypad display configuration software
or the ACDB access control database software. The KPDISPCF software is available at the GE Security web site at no
additional cost. The four ACDB database software versions
are purchased separately for fully integrated fire, security and
access control applications and then given to the user to
support his or her day-to-day operations.
Access to the KPDISP keypad is password protected with a
configurable 7-integer password. Passwords are configured
and assigned on a user-by-user basis by the KPDICP-CF
keypad display configuration software or the ACDB access
control database software.
The KPDISP keypad is shipped with a service or construction
password of 0000000. This service password is removed
when desired passwords are downloaded into the KPDISP
from the KPDISP-CF or ACDB. The service password provides
limited control, enabling you to view events and silence the
panel.

The coded outputs may be from one to four digits and last
four rounds. Each digit can contain from one to nine pulses.
When a three-digit code is used, one of the digits may be
extended up to 15 pulses.
The CDR-3 coder assembly must be mounted on the half
footprint of a 3-CHAS7 chassis. Jumpers JP1 and JP2 enable
the configuration of the bell code and temporal relay
contacts. The eight SW1 segments let you configure the coder
operation attributes and set the baud rate.
