E3 Series CommunicationsThe Right Message to the Right People at the Right Timefirealarmresources com society and economy are more dependent than ever on safeguarding critical assets Protecting people and property from threats is essential to our future The E3 Series Expandable Emergency Evacuation System by Honeywell Gamewell FCI provides the most survivable cost effective and customizable emergency communication system for both your fire alarm and mass notification needs As specified in the Unified Facilities Criteria UFC the E3 Series protects life and property by indicating the existence of an emergency situation and providing instructions to a large number of people whether inside a building or spread out over a large complex campus or multi building facility While the purpose of a fire alarm system is to evacuate the building safely in the event of a fire a mass notification system MNS is designed to keep occupants informed of the type of emergency and tell them what to do and where to go However they share common goals to warn people of danger and provide information to stay safe fire alarm and mass notification system offers cost savings this reason the NFPA 72 code now recommends the use of a single integrated combination emergency communication system ECS The E3 Series complies with NFPA 72 and is also designed to meet the combined system requirements as outlined in the UL 2572 Standard Not only will a combined fire alarm and mass notification system offer substantial cost savings advantages but the new standards allow for better coordination of the system functions which is vital in minimizing confusion and panic during emergency conditions Our society has witnessed many tragic effects caused by fire terrorism destructive weather and intruders How will you guide your building occupants to safety during a catastrophic emergency firealarmresources com Future of Fire Alarm Control Assisted Evacuation and Mass Notification an advanced approach to technology our unique Local Operating Consoles LOCs have distributed messaging capabilities providing users the ability to program the system to messages that automatically change as the situation changes This versatile feature the system to manage mass notification functions override fire alarm and external voice and simultaneously distribute different emergency communications to zones multiple buildings large outdoor campuses or facility areas LOCs are fully supervised and easily interface to existing paging telephone and base wide In addition they operate as the Autonomous Control Unit ACU and can function from the Wide Area MNS System Reliability Survivability strength of the E3 Series Expandable Emergency Evacuation System its ability to communicate real time information that directs people take the appropriate actions in the ever changing conditions an emergency situation Its intuitive technology allows users to provide updated instructions as the event unfolds Survivability of your system is crucial in any emergency situation Because E3 Series uses distributed communication control not centralized it is the most survivable emergency communication system in the event a catastrophic situation messaging and true peer to peer exchange of data packets that each segment of the system operates independently even the other segments have been damaged in a crisis event The E3 Series designed to survive virtually any emergency situation Style 7 wiring provides complete supervision while backup amplifiers uninterrupted messaging Series Control the most survivable communication system Complete Emergency System communicating to a broad population out over miles of a facility conveying clear messages becomes a challenge E3 Series consolidates fire security and notification with one life safety platform fully integrated system offers three primary of communication to inform and direct to take the appropriate response an emergency situation Mass Notification Series Series Beacon Recipient Mass Notification Phone Message Alerts Signage Radio Command Workstation Optic Pair Area Mass Notification Lights Speakers Digital Messaging Operation communication systems utilize Autonomous Control Units ACUs to monitor and control notification appliance network Many MNS suppliers provide their ACUs through the use multiple sub systems that tie into various third party systems With the E3 Series the ACUs built right into the fire alarm system architecture for a fully integrated seamless operation of our combined system include Seamless distribution of ECS intelligence Coordination of system functions that communicate audibly visibly such as fire MNS security or public address Prioritize emergency messages more efficiently Fully programmable to meet the most difficult applications Powerful and faster transfer of data Easier to maintain and operate Far more economical of Use with the first responder and user interaction in mind products such as our NGA Network Annunciator are engineered with intuitive and mobile technologies Their innovative provides simple yet powerful tools designed to save valuable time in choosing the right to an emergency incident Size Solution modular building block design provides a simpler faster and more economical mass notification for virtually any new or existing building facility or campus Our components share technology within the system therefore less hardware is needed for future growth expansion Hold Ourselves to a Higher Standard E3 Series Expandable Emergency Evacuation System is listed to the ANSI UL 2572 Standard complexity of this highly stringent standard which tests equipment performance levels and backup ensures the system is highly survivable while continually supervising itself for faults Solutions Protect Multitude of Applications and Places of Public Assembly it comes to sports arenas and places of public assembly civil and private sector stakeholders expect voice evacuation to do more than direct people to the nearest exit With the push of button the E3 Series System can take over Fenway Park public address detailed emergency instructions and Healthcare Facilities communication is extremely important in hospital where time is critical The E3 Series System at St Joseph carries data over a single pair of unshielded wires at a 625K baud The industry standard for data communication is 100K to 318K baud Installations dictated by the Department of Defense UFC document 4 021 01 most rigorous standards concern intelligibility Fort Knox Military chose the E3 Series after a live demonstration of its ability to critical instructions in a measurably clear and concise manner is especially important considering the facility 100 plus building and Municipal Government network technology the E3 Series transports signals from the control center to each user interface providing the Rhode State House with custom announcements on a zone by zone basis and Universities administrators look to the E3 Series as a one system solution fire alarm security and mass notification in one platform huge economical advantages to fit the budget limitations of school today compliance with NFPA code requirements administrators have peace mind knowing E3 Series technology can be relied upon to give clear emergency instructions All faculty students and visitors are in the building outside campus or even miles away via cell PDA and text messaging LIFE SAFETY PRODUCT AND SERVICE YOU NEED Alarm Control Panels
