Overview
EST's QS1 life safety control panel brings big-system intelligent
control to small applications. Designed for easy setup and simple
installation, QuickStart lives up to its name in every respect. OS1
exclusive QuickStart auto-learn function, and the option of config-
uring the panel using convenient front panel programming or from
a PC, makes short work of system setup. Devices come on-line
in no time as well, thanks to QSVs built-in barcode scanner port.
A simple pass of the optional scanner is all it takes to store device
information in the QuickStart database. The scanner can also be
used for quick and easy text entry when assembling custom mes-
sages.
QS1 's setup routine is deceptively simple, considering this
system's robust features. Supporting up to 250 intelligent detec-
tors and modules, QS1 takes full advantage of EST's exclusive
Signature Series technology, which provides electronic addressing,
automatic device mapping, environmental compensation, and true
multisensor detection.
QuickStart's innovative design makes it easy to add a dialer or
extra auxiliary relays. Quick-Lok option cards snap onto 0S1 'S
easily-accessible DIN mounting rails. QS1 also supports as many
as eight remote annunciators and up to 30 programmable front
panel switches with dual LEDs for system control and display.
QS1 is as simple to operate as it is to set up. Its large 14-line backlit
LCD display provides easy-to-understand details concerning up to
1,000 system events, while bright system status LEDs and large,
tactile control buttons present the user with a clean, crystal clear
interface. Four password levels limit control and information retrieval
to authorized personnel. A priority access keyswitch gives Level
2 access without a password to management and emergency
personnel.

Application
Thanks to its flexibility and simple setup and operation, QS1 is
ideal for new installations in schools, apartment buildings, hospi
tals, office buildings, and retail facilities.
The benefits brought by QS1 to retrofit applications underscores
the true potential of this powerful system. As an intelligent panel,
QS1 supports Signature Series devices, which can use existing
wiring in most retrofit applications. This makes upgrading from a
conventional system to analog control a simple operation with
minimal disruption to normal operations at the site.

Intelligent Smoke
Detector with
Optional
CO Sensor
SIGA2-PS, SIGA2-PCOS
Overview
Signature Series 51GA2-P(CO)S photoelectric detectors bring ad-
vanced sensing technology to a practical design that increases ef-
ficiency, saves installation time, cuts costs, and extends life safety
and property protection capabilities. Continuous self-diagnostics
ensure reliability over the long-haul, while innovative field-replaca-
ble smoke chambers make detector maintenance literally a snap.
With its modular CO sensor, this detector pulls double-duty -
continually monitoring the environment for signs of smoke, as well
as its invisible yet deadly companion, carbon monoxide.
Like all Signature Series detectors, the SlGA2-P(CO)S is an intel-
ligent device that gathers analog information from its smoke and
CO sensor (if present), converting this data into digital signals. To
make an alarm decision, the detectors on-board microprocessor
measures and analyzes sensor readings and compares this infor-
mation to historical data. Digital filters remove signal patterns that
are not typical of fires, thus virtually eliminating unwanted alarms.
The S10A2-FCOS includes an advanced carbon monoxide sensor
and daughterboard. When the electrochemical cell reaches its end
of life after approximately six years, the detector signals a trouble
condition to the control panel. The sensor/daughterboard module
is field-replaceable.

oxide sensor

Application
Smoke detection
The S1GA2-PS detects extremely small particles of combustion
and triggers an alarm at the first sign of smoke. Thanks to its high-
performance forward scattering reflective response technology,
the photoelectric smoke sensor responds quickly and reliably to
a wide range of fire types, especially slow burning fires fuelled by
combustibles typically found in modern multi-use buildings.
Carbon monoxide detection
CO detection has rapidly become a standard part of life safety
strategies everywhere. Monitored CO detection is becoming
mandated with increasing frequency in all types of commercial
applications, but particularly in occupancies such as hotels, room-
ing houses, dormitories, day care facilities, schools, hospitals,
assisted living facilities, and nursing homes. In fact, more than half
of the U.S. population already lives in states requiring the instal-
lation of CO detectors in some commercial occupancies. This
is because carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental
poisoning deaths in America. Known as the "Silent Killer," CO is
odorless, tasteless, and colorless. It claims nearly 500 lives, and
results in more than 15,000 hospital visits annually.
Installation
Signature Series detectors mount to North American 1-gang
boxes, 3-1/2 inch or 4 inch octagon boxes, and to 4 inch square
electrical boxes 1-1/2 inches (38 mm) deep. They mount to Euro-
pean BESA and 1-gang boxes with 60.3 mm fixing centers. See
mounting base installation and wiring for more information.
Testing & Maintenance
Each detector automatically identifies when it is dirty or defective
and causes a "dirty detector" message. The detector's sensitiv-
ity measurement can also be transmitted to the loop controller. A
sensitivity report can be printed to satisfy NFPA sensitivity mea-
surements which must be conducted at the end of the first year
and every two years thereafter.
The user-friendly maintenance program shows the current state
of each detector and other pertinent messages. Single detectors
may be turned off temporarily from the control panel. Availability
of maintenance features is dependent on the fire alarm system
used. When the CO sensor's electrochemical cell reaches its end
of life, the detector signals a trouble condition to the control panel.
The sensor/daughterboard module is field-replaceable. Scheduled
maintenance (Regular or Selected) for proper detedtor operation
should be planned to meet the requirements of the Authority Hav-
ing Jurisdiction (AHJ). Refer to current NFPA 72, NFPA 720, and
ULC CAN/ULC 536 standards.
This detector will NOT sense fires that start in areas where smoke
cannot reach the detector. Smoke from fires in walls, roofs, or on
the opposite side of closed doors may not reach the detector to
alarm it.
Sensing and reporting technology
The microprocessor in each detector provides four additional ben-
efits - Self-diagnostics and History Log, Automatic Device Map-
ping, Stand-alone Operation and Fast, Stable Communication.
Self-diagnostics and History Log - Each Signature Series
detector constantly runs self-checks to provide important mainte-
nance information. The results of the self-check are automatically
updated and permanently stored in the detectors non-volatile
memory
Automatic Device Mapping - The loop controller learns where
each device's serial number address is installed relative to other
devices on the circuit. The mapping feature provides supervision
of each device's installed location to prevent a detector from being
reinstalled (after cleaning etc.) in a different location from where it
was originally.
Stand-alone Operation - A decentralized alarm decision by the
detector is guaranteed. On-board intelligence permits the detector
to operate in stand-alone mode. If loop controller CPU communi-
cations fail for more than four seconds, all devices on that circuit
go into stand-alone mode. The circuit acts like a conventional
alarm receiving circuit.
Fast Stable Communication - On-board intelligence means less
information needs to be sent between the detector and the loop
controller. Other than regular supervisory polling response, the
detector only needs to communicate with the loop controller when
it has something new to report.
Accessories
Detector mounting bases have wiring terminals that are acces-
sible from the "room-side" after mounting the base to the electrical
box. The bases mount to North American 1-gang boxes and to
31/2 inch or 4 inch octagon boxes, 11/2 inches (38 mm) deep. They
also mount to European BESA and 1-gang boxes with 60.3 mm
fixing centers. The SIGA-SB4, SIGA-RB4, and SIGA-1134 mount to
North American 4 inch sq. electrical boxes in addition to the above
boxes. They include the SlGA-TS4 Trim Skirt which is used to
cover the "mounting ears" on the base. The SlGA-AB4G mounts
to a 4" square box only.
SIGA-AB4G/T SIGA-SB SIGA-113 SIGA-RB SIGA-LED
Audible Base Standard Base Isolator Base Relay Base Remote LED
Remote LED SIGA-LED - The remote LED connects to the
SIGA-SB or SlGA-SB4 Standard Base only. It features a North
American size 1-gang plastic faceplate with a white finish and red
alarm LED.
SIGA-TS4 Trim Skirt - Supplied with 4 inch bases, it can also
be ordered separately to use with the other bases to help hide
surface imperfections not covered by the smaller bases.
SlGA-AB4G and SlGA-AB4GT - These sounder bases are de-
signed for use where localized or group alarm signaling is required.
The SIGA-AB4G is compatible with Signature Series smoke and
heat detectors. The SIGA-AB4GT sounder base, when used with
the SIGA-TCDR Temporal Pattern Generator module, adds an
audible output function to any Signature Series detector, including
fire and CO detectors.

Application Dimensions
The BPS provides additional power and Circuits for notification ap-
pliances and other 24 Vdc loads. It is listed for indoor dry locations
and can easily be installed where needed.
Fault conditions are indicated on the on-board diagnostic LEDs,
opening the BPS input sense circuit and the trouble relay (if
programmed). While this provides indication to the host system,
the BPS can still be activated upon command. A separate AC
Fail contact is available on the BPS circuit board, which can be
programmed for trouble or AC Fail. There are seven on-board
diagnostic LEDs: one for each NAC fault, one for battery fault, one
for ground fault, and one for AC power.
The unique dual-input activation circuits of the BPS can be acti-
vated by any voltage from 6 to 45 VDC (filtered-regulated) or 11
to 33 Vdc (full-wave rectified, unfiltered). The first input circuit can
be configured to activate 1-4 of the four possible outputs. The
second input circuit can be configured to control circuits 3 and 4.
When outputs are configured for auxiliary operation, these circuits
can be configured to stay on or automatically deactivate 30 sec-
onds after AC power is lost. This feature makes these circuits ideal
for door holder applications. The BPS also has a separate 200
mA 24 Vdc output that can be used to power internal activation
modules.

EST Catalog > Strobes, Horns, Bells, Chimes
The Genesis line of fire alarm and mass notification/emergency
communications (ECS/MNS) signals are among the smallest,
most compact audible-visible life safety signaling devices in the
world. About the size of a deck of playing cards, these devices are
designed to blend with any decor.
Thanks to patented breakthrough technology, Edwards Gen-
esis strobes do not require bulky specular reflectors and lenses.
Instead, an exclusive cavity design conditions light to produce
a highly controlled distribution pattern. Significant development
efforts employing this new technology have given rise to a new
benchmark in strobe performance - FullLight technology.
FullLight strobe technology produces a smooth light distribution
pattern without the spikes and voids characteristic of specular re-
flectors. This ensures the entire coverage area receives consistent
illumination from the strobe flash. As a result, Genesis strobes with
FullLight technology go well beyond the UL-1971 and ULC-5526
light distribution requirements.
Genesis strobes and horn-strobes offer selectable candela output
by means of a conveniently-located switch on the side of the
device. Models are also available that offer fixed 15/75 cd output.
The candela output setting remains clearly visible even after final
installation, yet it stays locked in place to prevent unauthorized
tampering.
Genesis ECS/MNS appliances offer emergency signaling with
clear or amber lenses and with optional ALERT housing labels.
They are ideal for applications that require differentiation between
fire alarm and mass notification alerts.

Application
Genesis strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as wall-mount-
ed public-mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired.
Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise
conditions exceed 105 dBA (87dBA in Canada), where occupants
use hearing protection, and in areas of public accommodation
as defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (see application
notes - USA).
Combination horn-strobe signals must be installed in accordance
with guidelines established for strobe devices. Consult with your
Authority Having Jurisdiction for details.
All Genesis strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements
(within 10 milliseconds over a two-hour period) when used with a
synchronization source. Synchronization is important in order to
avoid epileptic sensitivity.
WARNING: These devices will not operate without electrical power. As
fires frequently cause power interruptions, further safeguards such as
backup power supplies may be required.
Horns
Genesis horn output reaches as high as 99 dB and features a
unique multiple frequency tone that results in excellent sound
penetration and an unmistakable warning of danger. Horns may be
configured for either coded or non-coded signal circuits. They can
also be set for low dB output with a jumper cut that reduces horn
output by about 5 dB. Horn-only models may be ceiling-mounted
or wall-mounted.
The suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used with
alarm signals is at least 15 dB above the average ambient sound level,
or 5 dB above the maximum sound level having a duration of at least
60 seconds, whichever is greater, measured 5 feet (1.5 m) above the
floor. The average ambient sound level is, A-weighted sound pressure
measured over a 24-hour period.
Doubling the distance from the signal to the ear will theoretically result
in a 6 dB reduction of the received sound pressure level. The actual
effect depends on the acoustic properties of materials in the space.
A 3 dBA difference represents a barely noticeable change in volume.
ECS/MNS Applications
Genesis ECS/MNS strobe appliances bring the same high-
performance fire alarm features and unobtrusive design to mass
notification applications. Available with amber lenses and optional
ALERT housing labels, they are ideal for applications that require
differentiation between fire alarm and mass notification alerts.
Installation
Genesis horns and strobes mount to any standard one-gang sur-
face or flush electrical box. Matching optional trim plates are used
to cover oversized openings and can accommodate one-gang,
two-gang, four-inch square, or octagonal boxes, and European
100 mm square.
All Genesis signals come pre-assembled
with captive mounting screws for easy in-
stallation. Two tabs at the top of the signal
unlock the cover to reveal the mounting
hardware. The shallow depth of Genesis
devices leaves ample room behind the
signal for extra wiring. Once installed with
the cover in place, no mounting screws
are visible.
Field Configuration Genesis Horn/Strobe
with optional trim plate Temporal horn and horn-strobe models
are factory set to sound in a three-pulse
temporal pattern. Units may be con-
figured for use with coded systems by cutting a jumper on the
circuit board. This results in a steady output that can be turned
on and off (coded) as the system applies and removes power to
the signal circuit. A Genesis Signal Master is required when horn-
strobe models are configured for coded systems. Non-temporal,
horn-only models sound a steady tone.
Genesis clear strobes and horn-strobes are shipped from the fac-
tory ready for use as UL 1971 compliant signals for public mode
operation. These, signals may be configured for temporal flash by
cutting a jumper on the circuit board. This battery-saving feature is
intended for private mode signaling only.
Genesis clear strobes and horn-strobes may be set for 15, 30, 75,
or 110 candela output. The output setting is changed by simply
opening the device and sliding the switch to the desired setting.
The device does not have to be removed to change the output
setting. The setting remains visible through a small window on the
side of the device after the cover is closed.
Horns and horn-strobes are factory set for high dB output.
Low dB output may be selected by cutting a jumper on the
circuit board. This reduces the output by about 5 dB.
Wiring
Field wiring terminals, accommodate #18 to #12 AWG (0.75 mm2
to 2.5 mm2) wiring. Horns, strobes, and combination horn-strobes
are interconnected with a single pair of wires as shown below.

Strobes
Genesis strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as wail-mounted
public-mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired. Prevail-
ing codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise conditions
exceed specified levels, where occupants use hearing protection,
and in areas of public accommodation. Consult with your Authority
Having Jurisdiction for details.
All Genesis strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements
(within 10 milliseconds other over a two-hour period) when used
with a synchronization source. Synchronization is important in
order to avoid epileptic sensitivity.
NOTE: The flash intensity of some visible signals may not be adequate
to alert or waken occupants in the protected area. Research indicates
that the intensity of strobe needed to awaken 90% of sleeping persons
is approximately 100 Cd. Edwards recommends that strobes in sleeping
rooms be rated at at least 110 Cd.
WARNING: These devices will not operate without electrical power. As
fires frequently cause power interruptions, further safeguards such as
backup power supplies may be required.

Installation and Mounting
All models are intended for indoor wall or ceiling applications
only. Horn-strobes mount to any flush North-American 4" square
electrical box.
Genesis ceiling horn-strobes simply unlatch and twist to open.
This gains access to mounting screws and the selectable candela
switch. The shallow depth of Genesis devices leaves ample room
behind the signal for extra wiring. Once installed with the cover in
place, no mounting screws are visible.
Edwards recommends that these fire alarm horn-strobes always
be installed in accordance with the latest recognized edition of
national and local fire alarm codes.

codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise conditions
exceed specified levels, where occupants use hearing protection,
and in areas of public accommodation. Consult with your Authority
Having Jurisdiction for details.

All Genesis strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements
(within 10 milliseconds over a two-hour period) when used with a
synchronization source. Synchronization for multiple strobe lights
in a single field of view is required.
MNEC Applications
Genesis MNEC appliances bring the same high-performance life
safety features and unobtrusive design to mass notification applica-
tions. Available as standard units with clear or amber lenses with
optional ALERT markings, thy are ideal for applications that require
differentiation between life safety and MNEC signals. Units are also
available (special order) with red, blue or green lenses.
Installation
All models are intended for indoor applications only. Strobes
mount to any flush North-American 4" square electrical box, 21/8
(54 mm) deep.
Genesis ceiling strobes simply unlatch and twist to open. This
gains access to mounting screws and the selectable candela
switch. The shallow depth of Genesis devices leaves ample room
behind the signal for extra wiring. Once installed with the cover in
place, no mounting screws are visible.

Field Configuration
Depending on the model, Genesis ceiling
speaker-strobes have multi-candela output Candela switch
(see ordering information). The output
setting is changed by simply opening the / device and sliding the switch to the desired
setting. The strobe does not have to be
removed to change the output setting. 7 The setting remains visible through a small lnditor
window on the front of the device after the
cover is closed.
Wiring
Field wiring terminals accommodate #18 to #12 AWG (0.75 mm2
to 2.5 mm2) wiring. Strobes are interconnected with a single pair of
wires as shown below.

These visible signal appliances' flash intensity may not be adequate to alert or
awaken occupants in the protected area. Research indicates that the intensity of strobe needed toawaken 90% of sleeping persons is approximately 100cd. Edwards
recommends that strobes in sleeping rooms be 110 cd minimum.

Life Safety & Communications
405 Series strobes are specially designed for use with compat-
ible life safety communication and control equipment to alert the
hearing impaired of a life safety event. Strobes are available with
15 cd, 15/75 cd, 30 cd, 60 cd, and 110 cd effective flash intensity.
They are fully compatible with Genesis signals.
405 Series strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements
(within 10 milliseconds other over a two-hour period) when used
with a separately-installed Gi M Signal Master, or SIGA-CC1S
Synchronization Module, or when powered by suitably enabled
booster power supplies and control panels.
The flash from 405 Series strobes can be noticed from almost any
position in the room, corridor, or large open space. 405 Series
strobes are UL 1971 listed with both wall and ceiling cd intensity
ratings (see Specifications). This is useful in areas where the Au-
thority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) permits ceiling-mount strobes.
405 Series strobes are designed for 16 to 33 Vdc operation and
must be connected to signal circuits that output a constant (not
pulsed) voltage. A diode is used to allow full signal circuit supervi-
sion and polarized connections are made to terminals that accept
up to #12 AWG (2.5mm2) wire.
The strobe front plate is of steel construction finished with durable
baked epoxy polyester powder-coat paint.
UL 1971-listed synchronizing strobe
Integrity strobes synchronize to the latest UL 1971 require-
ments when used with a synchronization source.
Genesis-compatible
All Genesis and Integrity strobes on the same circuit meet UL
1971 synchronization requirements when used with an external
control module.
Approved for public and private mode applications

Application
NOTE: The installation of visible signals are subject to national and local standards, codes, and ordinances.
Consult your Authority Having Jurisdiction for device installation requirements application standards and minimum performance specifications
Edwards strobes are UL 1971 -listed for use indoors as wall-mounted
public-mode notification appliances for the hearing impaired. Prevail-
ing codes require strobes to be used where ambient noise conditions
exceed specified levels, where occupants use hearing protection,
and in areas of public accommodation. Consult with ybur Authority
Having Jurisdiction for details.
As part of the Enhanced Integrity line of products, 405 Series
strobes exceed UL synchronization requirements (within 10
milliseconds other over a two-hour period) when used with a
synchronization source. Synchronization is important because a
small portion of the population have a condition which may cause
them to become disoriented from multiple random flashes of light.
Integrity strobes minimize this risk.
Integrity strobes are fully compatible with Edwards Genesis sig-
nals.
NOTE: The flash intensity of some visible signals may not be adequate
i to alert or waken occupants in the protected area. Research indicates
that the intensity of strobe needed to awaken 90% of sleeping persons
is approximately 100 Cd. Edwards recommends that strobes in sleeping
rooms be rated at at least 110 Cd.
WARNING: These devices will not operate without electrical power. As
fires frequently cause power interruptions, further safeguards such as
backup power supplies may be required.

Current Draw Notes and Comments
1. Current values are shown in mA.
UL Nameplate Rating can vary from Typical Current due to measurement meth-
ods and instruments used.
Edwards recommends using the Typical Current for system design including NAC
and Power Supply loading and voltage drop calculations.
Use the 16 Vdc RMS current ratings for filtered power supply and battery AH
calculations. Use the 16 vfwr RMS current ratings for unfiltered power supply
calculations.
Fuses, circuit breakers and other overcurrent protection devices are typically
rated for current in RMS values. Most of these devices operate based upon
the heating affect of the current flowing through the device. The RMS current
determines the heating affect and therefore, the trip and hold threshold for those
devices.
Typical Wiring - 24 Vdc
Installation and Mounting
All models fit to a standard flush mounted, North American four
inch electrical box, 1-1/2 inch (38 mm) deep minimum. Optional
Edwards weatherproof, surface mount boxes are available. The
strobes must be connected to signal circuits which output a
constant (not pulsed) voltage. Edwards recommends that these
strobes always be installed in accordance with the latest recog-
nized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.
