EDWARDS SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY
EST2
Analog Control Panel
System Features
■ Supports all EST Signature devices
■ Autoprogramming of Signature data circuits
■ Class B or A Signature data circuit(s), 96 detectors and 94
modules per circuit
■ Two integral Class A or B notification appliance circuits
■ Alarm, trouble, and supervisory contacts
■ Prioritized status queues for alarm, supervisory, trouble and
monitor inputs
■ 576 event history log
■ Enhanced sensitivity reports
■ Optional expander Signature data circuit
■ Designed and manufactured to ISO 9001 standards
Description
The EST2 Fire Alarm System is modular in design allowing
systems to be easily configured to match installation requirements.
With one Signature Data Circuit (SOC) EST2 is capable of
supporting 96 detectors and 94 modules and has two built in
Notification Appliance Circuits {NAG). The system supports the full
line of Signature series detectors and modules. EST2's modular
design means the system easily expands to two SDCs and four
NACs by adding a single 2-LCX module increasing system
capacity to 380 points/zones with four built in Notification Appli-
ance Circuits.
The EST2 provides an RS-232 port to facilitate computer, coder
and printer interfacing and an RS-485 communication port for
supporting remote annunciation. Annunciation of system events are
displayed on a back lit LCD with enhanced diagnostic LEDs on the
front panel. There is space to add up to 48 additional points/zones
of software controlled LED annunciation and switch control on the
front panel. Both alpha-numeric LCD and annunciation LEDs are
available for remote annunciation and control with the EST 2-LSRA
and SAN series of annunciators.
CONTROL PANELS
Compatibility ➔ EST2
EST2 features Auto Programming through the front panel and
Custom Programming via PC laptop interface. The Auto Program
mode will identify all devices on the SOC and automatically assign
addresses to each device. Then the auto programming feature
automatically links the proper response to the proper input,
providing real time savings during installation.
Using the advanced Signature family of detectors and modules
provides a wide range of installation and operation benefits.
Signature Series detectors and modules use Electronic Addressing
-no dip switches or dials to set, speeding installation and
programming. Multi-function and dual circuitmOdules reduce
wiring costs. Multi-sensor technology eliminates detector -•~
application guess-work. Identification of dirty or defective detec-
tors is automatic with EST2. Maintenance scheduling is easy and
effective, ensuring that life safety protection is always maintained.
In addition to Signatures inherent reduction of false alarms, EST2
allows the adjustment of detector sensitivity at different times of the
day. Make detectors more sensitive at ti mes when transient smoke
is not likely to occur (night time) and less sensitive at times when
transient smoke is likely to occur.
EST2 provides "Device Mapping". This allows a laptop computer
to show how the Signature Data Circuits are wired. As-built
drawings become very easy.

Application
The EST2 design provides application flexibility with installation
options that give site specific customization and programming
options that help satisfy local as well as national requirements.
EST2 provides a choice of power supplies with 4.5 amp and 6.4
amp supplies available. Installation flexibility is provided with a
choice of surface or semi-flush mounting wall boxes.
EST2 provides optional modules that ensure system customization
and flexibility. In applications calling for coded signals, the
optional CDR-3 module provides a choice of march time generator
or Positive Successive Non-Interfering (PSNI) outputs. CDR-3
outputs are selectable as a coded dry contact or supervised coded
1 OOOHz audio tone. The march time output provides a continuous
march-time beat at 20 or 120 beats per minute. The PSNI output
provides up to four rounds of a unique output code for each of up
to fifty input conditions. The unique output codes signal
emergency response personnel to the location of an alarm.
For connection to a Central Monitoring Station the EST2 uses an
optional built-in dual line dialer (DACTI. The dialer mounts right on
the EST2 main board reducing installation and maintenance costs.
Multiple communication formats ensure compatibilitywlth most
Central Monitoring stations.
EST2 provides individual status queues annunciating Alarm,
Supervisory, Trouble and Monitor operations. When a device
operates the appropriate queue's status LED lights. Operator
recognition oftheactivedevicetype(s) is instantaneous. At the
same time a programmed point or zone description displays on
the back lit LCD giving specific text information on the active
device(s). Review messages simply by selecting local silence, the
queue from the front panel and scrolling. The last 576 events can
be reviewed at any time via the enhanced History log. The new
enhanced history log contains the complete event message with
LIFO protocol (last in first out) insuring the mostcurrentevents are
always logged.
EST2 has optional LED/Switch modules that mount right beside the
LCD and common control front panel. Annunciation flexibility ls
further enhanced with a wide variety of remote annunciation
including remote LCD annunciators, remote LED annunciators and/
or graphic annunciators.
Front panel diagnostic LEDs provide easily understood system
status information. Standard software includes the following
important features:
TIMERS:
Programmable timers give flexibility to Signal Silence Inhibit,
Reset Inhibit and Power fail trouble contact delay operation. In
addition the Notification Appliance Circuits rate is selectable from
steady, to Temporal, 120/20 orTemporal/20.
DISABLE POINTS:
Specific devices on the SOC may be disable through simple front
panel controls providing protection from unwanted alarms in areas
with high concentrations of contaminates typically found when
construction or renovation work is taking place.
SENSITIVITY REPORTS:
The sensitivity report provides detailed information on individual
devices such as threshold level in% of obscuration, amount of
environmental compensation remaining, device address and
personality type.
NO EVENT ACKNOWLEDGE REQUIRED! The operator may
review events at any time from any of the event queues after "Local
Silence". When the operator has finished reviewing events. and
activates the Alarm Queue the first alarm will return to the LCD.

Description
The EST remote Alpha-Numeric Display annunciators provide
remote annunciation of system events and custom programmed
messages for EST2, IRC-3, FCC and LSS systems. Each annunciator
contains a back lit Liquid Crystal Display for improved message
visibility. The annunciators mount in standard North American two-
gang or 4 inch square electrical boxes. European 100mm square
box or within 19 inch RSAN rack mount or SAN type enclosures.
The LSRA-SB surface mount box is available for surface mount
applications. Common Control features are available to allow
maximum system flexibility.
Display: The heart of the EST Alpha-Numeric annunciator is the
Liquid Crystal Display. The display is a large back-lit, four line by
twenty character per line, super-twist Liquid Crystal Display. All
annunciators incorporate power saving features which automati-
cally turn off the front panel back lighting. The lighting turns off
after four minutes if there is no switch activity and no unacknowl-
edged messages are waiting. The fire alarm systems battery
capacity is maximized with this feature while providing clear
visibility of system messages.
CONTROL AND ANNUNCIATION
Compatibility ➔ EST2 LSS4 IRC-3/FCC
Models: There are four models of Alpha-Numeric annunciators.
All include Normal, Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble LEDs. There
are two push-button switches labeled BACK and NEXT/ACK. The
BACK and NEXT/ACK switches acknowledge system event
messages and allow the user to scroll through the event buffer.
LSRA Series: The LSRA series of annunciators mount in standard
North American two-gang or 4 inch square electrical boxes,
European 100mm square box enclosures. The annunciators come
with four feature LEDs (Normal, Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble)
and two push-button Switches (BACK and NEXT/ACK).
LSRA-C: The LSRA-C annunciator supports common control
functions in addition to the four feature LEDs and the BACK, NEXT/
ACK push buttons found on the LSRA. RESET, ALARM SILENCE,
TROUBLE SILENCE, and DRILL/ALL CALL push button switches
provide common control functions. LSRA-C annunciators allow
individual programming of front panel switch operation. The
controls are enabled by entering a password via the annunciators
front switches or by activating an optional remote enable/disable
key switch. The LSRA-C annunciator mounts in a standard Nort~
American two-gang or 4 inch square electrical box or Europe-an·
100mm square box.
SMDN: The SMDN annunciator has the same functions as the LSRA
but mounts in any EST SAN cabinet or 19 inch RSAN-6 rack mount.
The SMDN annunciator requires two SAN module mounting spaces.
SMON-C: The SMDN-C annunciator has functions similar to the
LSRA-C but has an on board enable/disable key switch and mounts
in any EST SAN cabinet or 19 inch RSAN-6 rack mount. The SMDN
annunicator requires two SAN module mounting spaces.
Custom Messages, Message Seeking lntelligents: All four of the
EST Alpha-Numeric annunciators are programmed with system
event specific messages. Custom messages are programmed into
each annunciator via a laptop PC. The messages display in
response to specific system events.

Each LSS4 system annunciator will support up to 52 custom
messages. If a custom message does not exist for an event, the
annunciatorwill display the current system event and zone information.
Each IRC-3 or EST2 system annunciator will support up to 352
custom messages. If a custom message does not exist for an event,
the annunciator will display the current system event and zone
information.
Each FCC system annunciator will support up to 746 custom
messages. If a custom message does not exist for a system event
the annunciator uses its "Message Seeking Intelligence" to locate a
message. Theannunciatorwillseek messages atthe FCC, DCPU for
the event which has occurred. In this way the most descriptive
information is always displayed on each annunciator. If no custom
message is found, the system event and zone information displays.

Line 1 = Date, Time,# of unacknowledged messages
Line 2 = Alarm Type
Line 3 and 4 = Custom message on two lines
Event Buffer: Each annunciator has a buffer that will hold active
system events. The buffer is reviewed by pressing the NEXT/ ACK
and BACK push-button switches. The amount of buffer storage is
determined by the system hosting the annunciator. The LSS4/52
annunciator will buffer 52 event messages, the EST2, IRC-3 and
FCC PCPU RS-485 single line system annunciator will buffer 352
event messages and the FCC DCPU RS-232 system annunciator will
buffer 1000 event messages.
Software Filters: Software filters add flexibility to EST LSRA(-C),
SMDN(-C) annunciators. To avoid having unwanted messages
displayed atan annunciator specific message routing capabilities
are incorporated into the EST LSRA(-C)and SMDN(-C). Annunciators
may be defined to receive alarm messages, or supervisory
messages or trouble messages only with other panel changes
being filtered out. Combinations of messages may be pro-
grammed such as Alarm and Trouble messages displayed with all
Supervisory messages filtered out. This allows annunciators to be
custom configured for specific operations. Only the information
which is required at a specific location will be annunciated.
Auto Acknowledge: Auto Acknowledge is a software selectable
feature that will automatically configure a specific annunciator to
display active points only. As a system active point restores, the
point message is removed from the annunciator display. Point
restorations do not display on annunciators with Auto Acknowl-
edge enabled. The internal buuer and printer port become disabled
on annunciators with the Auto Acknowledge feature enabled.
Internal Buzzer Silence: The LSRA/SMDN series annunciator's
Internal 8Igzer Silence feature provides an option that disables the
internal buzzer. The silent operation is of particular use in areas
sensitive to noise. •
ENABLE/DISABLE: The common control function switches of the
SMDN-C and LSRA-C are configurable to operate with the annun-
ciators ENABLE/DISABLE mode of operation. By entering a
password into the LSRA-C or through an ENABLE/DISABLE key
switch any combination of common control functions are pro-
grammable.
As an example: The ENABLE/DISABLE function can be pro-
grammed to have the DRILUALL CALL switch function (active) in
the DISABLED mode. All other common control switches would
operate only in the ENABLED mode. Customizing of an annuncia-
tor for a specific operation is easily achieved with a laptop
programmer.
Printer Port: When not used for network connection the optional
Printer/Programmer Port for LSRA (-C) and the integral RS-232 port
on SMDN(-C) supports a serial printer (PT-1S). The printer will
provide a hard copy of the events which display on the
annunciator it is connected to.
Application
The LSRA and SMDN annunciators are designed for annunciation
only applications. The LSRA-C and SMDN-C are designed for
areas where annunciation and common control is required.
For simplicity of wiring the LSRA(-C) and SMDN(-C) connect to the
IRC-3 single line RS-485 network directly, extra data wiring is not
needed. Upto 31 annunciators are supported on a IRC-3 network
loop. The IRC-3 regenerative mode operation is an integral part of
the annunciator network. EST2 provides RS-485 terminals allowing up
to 31 annunciators to be connected. With LSS4 up to four
annunciators connect to the backbone RS-485 communication path.
For maximum flexibility FCC systems communicate with EST
Alpha-Numeric annunciators over one, or multiple annunciator
networks. The first LSRA(-C) or SMDN (-C) connects directly to the
FCC head end. The connection can be made via a FCOM-485
located in the PCPU or a FCOM-232 located in the DCPU. For a
single network communication path the LSRA(-C) and SMDN(-C)
annunciators share a common RS-485 communication path with
system network modules. Annunciators and system modules
connect via a FCOM-485 located in the PCPU. Multiple annunciator
networks are easily configured using one or multiple FCOM-232
modules located in the DCPU. The annunciators can be connected
in Class A configuration by connecting the first annunciator to the
FCC DCPU FCOM-232 port card. The last annunciator connects to a
second FCOM-232 port card on the same FCC DCPU. All
annunciators between the first and 1astwill be connected on their
own RS-485 communication path. Up to 32 annunciators wire on a
single network path. With single or multiple annunciator networks
system layout flexibility is unmatched. All FCC regenerative mode
operation is maintained.
The RS-485 will allow the annunciator network to achieve distances
up to 7700 feet (2348m) using #18 AWG (1.00 mm2) twisted-pair
wire. Each annunciator receives power from a nominal 24 Vdc
riser.

Description
The Remote Booster Power Supply is a self-contained 24 Vdc
power supply designed to augment fire alarm audible and visual
power requirements. The booster contains all of the necessary
circuits to monitor and charge batteries, control and supervise
four Class 8 or two Class A NAC circuits and monitor two control-
ling inputs from external sources.
Simple switch selection provides a wide variety of operational
configurations. Each remote booster power supply is supplied
with its own enclosure providing ample space for additional
interface modules and battery compartment.
The Remote Booster Power Supply is available in either a 6.5 or
10 amp version @ 24 Vdc.
Application
The Remote Booster Power Supply provides additional power for
audible and visual devices when constrained by system capacity
or site application.
Fault conditions detected by the BPS will open the main
panel's NAC. This initiates a trouble condition and eliminates
the need to wire a separate trouble contact back to the control
panel. During alarm condition, detected faults are overridden and
the main panel's default configuration is continuous 24 Vdc on all
BPS6
NACs typically used to drive visual devices.
The BPS's default output configuration is continuous 24 Vdc on all
NACs. This output is typically used to drive visual devices.
BPS notification appliance circuits easily configure for any one of
three signaling rates: 120 SPM; 3-3-3 temporal; or, continuous.
This makes the BPS ideal for applications requiring signaling rates
not available from the main panel. lt also allows independent
setup of a notification appliance circuit without interfering with the
main panel and its initiating circuits.
In addition to the three generated signal rates, the BPS can also
be configured to follow the signal rate of the main panel's '
notification appliance circuit. This allows seamless expansion of
existing NACs.
The BPS includes seven on-board LED indicators: one for each
resident NAC; one for battery supervision; one for ground fault;
and, one for ac power. The trouble contact has a sixteen second
delay when an ac power failure or brownout condition is detected.
This reduces the reporting of troubles during short duration ac
brownouts.
NAC configuration options include: ac power fail delay (16
seconds or 6 hours); sensing input to NAC output correlations;
and, auxiliary outputs. NAC 3 and 4 are configurable as auxiliary
outputs. Auxiliary outputs can be always on, or off after 30
seconds without ac power. Jumpers configure the BPS for Class A
or Class B wiring.

Description
The Genesis line of signals are the smallest, most compact
audible-visible emergency 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, EST Genesis
strobes do not require bulky specular reflectors. Instead, an
exclusive mask-and-cavity design channels and conditions light
to produce a highly controllable distribution pattern. Intensive
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

reflectors. This ensures the entire coverage area receives
consistent illumination from the strobe flash. As a result, Genesis
strobes with Full light technology go well beyond the minimum
UL-required ''T" pattern, significantly exceeding UL-1971 and ULC-
S526 light distribution requirements.
Although Genesis strobes are self-synchronizing to today's
standards, when installed with the Genesis Signal Master, strobe
flashes from devices on the same circuit are synchronized to
within 10 milliseconds of each other indefinitely. This exceeds
the revised UL standards in effect as of November, 2000 which
specify this level of synchronization over only two hours.
The Genesis Signal Master permits independent horn control (on,
off, and coded signals) over a single pair of wires. This accessory
doesn't require a separate electrical box. It simply snaps to the
back of the first signal on the circuit. Only one Signal Master.is-1.
required per circuit.
Engineered to emit rapidly alternating frequencies, Genesis horns
deliver a tone that results in superior wall penetration and an
unmistakable warning of danger. Horn output exceeds the 75 dBA
level required by UL for both sleeping and non-sleeping areas.
Temporal models are configured for either coded or non-coded
signal circuits.
Genesis strobes and horns are available with textured housings in
architecturally neutral white or traditional fire alarm red. They
feature an iconographic symbol indicating the purpose of the
device. This universal symbol is code-compliant and is easily
recognized by all building occupants regardless of what language
they speak.

(_
Genesis• strobes are UL 1971-listed for use indoors as wall-
mounted public-mode notification appliances for the hearing
impaired. Prevailing codes require strobes to be used where
ambient noise conditions exceed 1 OS 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).
Genesis• horns are self-synchronizing and UL-listed for use in
both sleeping and non-sleeping areas. They are intended for
indoorwall-mount applications only. Combination horn/strobe
signals must be installed in accordance with guidelines estab-
lished for strobe devices.
Strobe Spacing
The following guidelines are based on ANSI/NFPA 72 National
Fire Alarm Code (1999). When applied and installed in accor•
dance with that code, EST strobes meet or exceed the illumina•
tion produced by the ADA•specified 75 candela (cd) strobe at 50
feet. However, optimum performance is achieved by providing
"Equivalent Facilitation" as allowed by the Americans with
Disabilities Act Accessibllity Guidelines (ADAAG).

end of the corridor.
* ADA suggests using 75 cd strobes throughout an area, with spacing that
never exceeds 50ft from the strobe to any point in the protected space.
Non-Sleeping Rooms and Corridors: EST strobes rated at less
than 110 cd per UL 1971 are intended for use in non.sleeping
areas only. Install with the bottom of the device at least 80 inches
(2.0 m) and no more than 96 inches (2.4 m) above the finished floor.
No point in any space (including corridors) required to have
strobes should be more than 50 feet (15.2 m) from the signal (in
the horizontal plane).
In large rooms or spaces (such as auditoriums) that exceed
100 feet (30.4 m) across and without obstructions more than 72
inches (1.8 m) above the finished floor, strobes may be placed
around the perimeter, spaced a maximum of 100 feet (30.4 m)
apart. This is an alternative to suspending strobes from the
ceiling.
For detailed spacing requirements, consult The Handbook of
Visible Notification Appliances for Fire Alarm Applications
published by EST Press, or contact your local EST representative.
Sleeping rooms: EST 110 cd strobes are intended for use in
sleeping rooms and should be installed along with a smoke
detector. It must be wall mounted at least 80M (2.03m) above floor
level, but no closer than 246 (610mm) to the ceiling. The distance
from the strobe to the pillow must not exceed 16' (4.Bm).

Horn Application
The suggested sound pressure level for each signaling zone used with
alert or 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 the RMS,
A-weighted sound pressure measured over a 24-hour period.
Genesis Temporal Horn

"
1-+-dBA@ IO feet I
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.
Application Notes -USA
Audible signals in the public mode should never have a sound level
less than 75 dBA at 10' (3 m) per NFPA 72. Signals cannot exceed
120 dBA per ADA (130 dBA per NFPA 72) at the minimum hearing
distance to audible appliance.
Strobe and combination horn/strobe devices should be installed-with
the bottom of the device at least 80 inches (2.0 m) and no more than
96 inches (2.4 m) above the finished floor. Horns should be installed
with their tops not less than 6 inches (152 mm) below the ceiling
and not less than 90 inches {2.3 m) above the finished floor.
Strobes must be used to supplement audible signals wherever
the average ambient sound level exceeds 105 dBA. Combination
audible/visual signals must be installed in accordance with NFPA
guidelines established for strobes.
ADA requires visible signals in the following areas:
rest rooms, meeting rooms, and other common use areas.
sleeping rooms intended for use by persons with hearing
impairment {in accordance with Title 1 of ADA).
work areas used by a person with a hearing impairment (per
Title 1 of ADA).

L Installation Jumper Locations
(_
Genesis• horns and strobes mount to any
standard one-gang surface or flush electrical
box. Matching optional trim plates accommo-
date one-gang, two-gang, four-inch square, or
octagonal boxes, and European 100mm square.
All Genesis• signals come pre-assembled
with captive mounting screws for easy Genesis Horn/Strobe
installation. Two tabs at the top of the signal with option•• trim plete
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
Temporal horn and horn/strobe models are factory set to sound in
a three-pulse temporal pattern. Units may be configured for use
with coded systems by snipping the circuit board as shown in the
Jumper Locations diagram at right. This results in a steady output
that can be turned on and off as the system applies and removes
power to the signal circuit.
Wiring
Field wiring is connected to Genesis• signals with terminals that
accommodate #18 to #12 AWG (0. 75 mm2 to 2.5 mm2) wiring.
Horns, strobes, and combination horn/strobes are interconnected

Description
EST's 757 Integrity Series Temporal Horn and Temporal Horn/
Strobe are perfect for life safety applications as an alert and alarm
signal, especially to notify the hearing impaired. The horn emits a
piercing low frequency sound that is easily heard above moderate
ambient noise levels.
Integrity's rugged plastic housing is available with a red or white
textured finish. With its ingenious mounting sub-plate, the horn is
firmly held in place with a single screw ensuring a quick, attractive
installation. A separate trim plate is not required for flush
mounting. Separate terminals to accept up to #12 AWG (2.Smm2)
Patented
wire are provided for field connection of the strobe and horn.
Matching Integrity Speakers, Chimes, and Strobe combinations are
also available.
HORN: During installation, the horn is configured for steady or
temporal tone signal and either low or high dB output. When
temporal output is selected all horns on a common two-wire
circuit are self-synchronized (see specifications). External "sync-
control" modules are not required.
Integrity Series horns emit a low frequency "growling" tone to
really demand attention. Select 'high'output for 98 dBA; choose
'/ow'outputfor94 dBA. (Average measurement at 1 0ft(3.05 m) in
anechoic chamber.)
STROBE: EST strobes are self-synchronized to flash at one fps
across their full operating voltage range. The strobe operates on
any existing two-wire signal circuit. Separately installed "sync-
control" modules are not required. A very small portion of the
population have a condition which may cause them to become
disoriented From multiple random flashes of light. This "risk is -· •
minimized with Integrity's strobe.
The flash from EST strobes can be noticed from almost any
position in the room, corridor, or large open space. The output
is controlled using a specially shaped reflector to disperse the
light in all viewing directions. EST strobes are UL 1971 listed
with both wall and ceiling cd intensity ratings (see Specifica-
tions). This is useful in areas where the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ) permits ceiling mount strobes.
757 Series Temporal Horn/Strobes are shipped with wall mount
style "FIRE" lens markings. Where ceiling mount, other languages
or different lens markings are required, optional LKW and LKC
series Lens Marking Kits are offered. Lens marking sleeves snap
right over the strobe lens providing quick, easy, change. Consult
EST for availability of other languages or special markings.

Audible Signal Application
Suggested sound pressure levels in each signaling zone for alert or
alarm signals are at least 15 dB above the average ambient sound
level or 5 dB above the maximum sound level having a duration of
at least60seconds, whichever is greater, measured five feet (1.5 m)
above the floor. The average ambient sound level is therms,
A-weighted sound pressure measured over a 24-hour period.
Doubling the distance from the signal to the ear will theoretically
cause a 6 dB reduction in the received sound pressure level. The
actual effect depends on the acoustic properties of materials in the
space. A 3 dBA difference is a 'Just noticeable" change in volume.

Visible Signal Application
These guidelines are based on ANSI/NF PA 72 National Fire Alarm
Code (1993). When applied and installed in accordance with that
code, EST strobes meet or exceed the illumination produced by
the ADA specified 75 candela (cd) strobe at 50 ft. However,
optimum performance is obtained by providing "Equivalent
Facilitation" as allowed by the Americans with Disabilities Act
Accessibility Guidelines [ADA(AG)]. Contact EST for exact
spacing requirements.

• Model 757-7A is rated at 15 cd (wall or ceiling mount) per UL 1971, and 75 cd
Ul1638.
Non-Sleeping Rooms and Corridors: EST strobes rated at less than
11 O cd per UL 1971 are intended for use in non-sleeping areas only.
Install them 80 inches (2.03 m) above floor level OR within the space
between six inches (150mm) to 24 inches (610 mm) below the ceiling,
whichever is lower. No point in any space (including corridors)
required to have strobes shall be more than 50 ft (15.2 m) from the
signal (in the horizontal plane). The 11 O cd strobe should be used in
non-sleeping areas only when the room exceeds 40' x 40' (12.2 m x
12.2 m). ln large rooms or spaces (such as auditoriums) that exceed
100 ft (30.4 m) across and without obstructions more than 72 inches
(1.8 m) above the finished floor, strobes may be placed around the
perimeter, spaced a maximum of 100 ft (30.4 m) apart, in lieu of
suspendingthemfromtheceiling.
Sleeping Rooms: EST model 757-BA is rated at 110cd. lt is intended
for use in sleeping rooms and should be installed along with a smoke
detector. It must be wall mounted at least 80 inches (2.03 m) above
floor level, but no closer than 24 inches (610 mm) to the ceiling. The
distance from the strobe to the pillow must not exceed 16 ft (4.8 m).

Application Notes -USA
In any case, audible signals cannot have a sound level less than 75
dBA at 10 ft (3m) per NFPA 72 and cannot exceed 120 dBA per ADA
(130 dBA per NFPA 72) at the minimum hearing distance to audible
appliance. Audible signals shall be installed with the top of the
device above the floor not less than 90 inches (2.3 m) and below the
finished ceilings at least six inches (150 mm) (per NFPA 72).
Strobes must be used to supplement audible signals wherever the
average ambient sound level exceeds 105 dBA. Combination
AudibleNisible signals must be installed per NFPA guidelines
established for strobes.
ADA suggests that the following areas may require Visual Alarm
Signals:
-rest rooms, meeting rooms, and other general usage areas.
-lobbies, hallways, and other common use areas.
-sleeping rooms intended for use by persons with hearing
impairments.
-work areas used by a person with a hearing impairment (per
Title 1 of ADA).
Application Notes -CANADA
(Based in part on 1995 Canada National Building Code)
The fire alarm signal sound pressure level shall not exceed 11 O dBA
in any normally occupied area. The sound pressure level from an
audible signal in a floor area used for occupancies other than
residential occupancies shall be not less than 10 dBA above the
ambient noise, and never less than 65 dBA. The sound pressure
level in sleeping rooms from an audible signal shall not be les!i
than 75 dBA when any intervening doors between the device and
the sleeping room are closed. Audible signal devices shall be
installed not less than 1.8 m to the center of the device above the
fioor (perCAN/ULC S524).
The fire alarm audible signal shall be supplemented by fire alarm
strobes in any floor area where the ambient noise level exceeds
filJlaA.. or where the occupants of the floor area use ear protective
devices, are located within an audiometric booth, or are located
within sound insulating enclosures. This also applies to assembly
occupancies in which music and other sounds associated with
performances could exceed 100 dBA.
Strobes shall be installed in a building so that the flash from not
less than one device is visible throughout the floor area or portion
thereof in which they are installed. For maximum safety, EST
recommends that strobes be installed as per the guidelines shown
here under Strobe Application.

The information stored in the detector's memory includes:
-detector type, serial number, and address
• date of manufacture, hours or operation, and last maintenance date2
• current detector sensitivity and environmental compensation
values
• original detectorsensitivityvalues upon manufacturingz
• number of recorded alarms and troubles2
-time and date of last alarm1
-analog signal patterns just before the last alarm1
-most recent trouble code logged by the detector-32 possible
trouble codes may be used to diagnose faults.
ln the unlikely event that an unwanted alarm does take place, the
control panel's history file can be called up to help isolate the
problem and prevent it from happening again.
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 from1
•
where it was originally. The history log for the detector remains
relevant and intact regardless of its new location.
The Signature Series Data Entry Program also uses the mapping
feature. With interactive menus and graphic support, the wired
circuits between each device can be examined. Layout or "as-built"
drawing information showing wire branches (T-taps), device types
and their address are stored on disk for printing hard copy. This
takes the mystery out of the installation. The preparation of "as-built"
drawings is fast and efficient.
Device mapping allows the Signature loop controller to discover:
-unexpected additional device addresses
• missing device addresses
-changes to the wiring in the circuit.

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. Each detector on the circuit continues to collect
and analyze information from its surroundings. The detector alarms
if the preset smoke obscuration level is reached. If the detector is
mounted to a relay base, the relay operates. Similarly, if it is
mounted to an audible base, the on-board horn sounds.
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. This provides very fast response
time and allows a lower baud rate (speed) to be used for
communication on the loop. The lower baud rate offers several
advantages including:
-less sensitivity to circuit wire characteristics
-less sensitivity to noise glitches on the cable
-less emitted noise from the data wiring
-twisted or shielded wiring is not required.
Electronic Addressing: The loop controller electronically ad-
dresses each detector, saving valuable time during system
commissioning. Setting complicated switches or dials is not
required. Each detector has its own unique serial number stored in
its "on-board memory". The loop controller identifies each device
on the circuit and assigns a "soft" address to that device's serial
number. If desired, detectors can be addressed using the SI GA-
P RO Signature Program/Service Tool.
Environmental Compensation: Detection sensitivity is virtually
independent of its installed environment and its physical condition.
Environmental compensation means the sensing element adapts to
long-term changes caused by dirt, humidity, aging etc. It even com-
pensates for small amounts of normal ambient smoke. Approximately
six times every hour the detector adjusts and updates the sensitivity
(% obscuration) baseline for its sensing element. Approximately
once every hour this information is written to its permanent memory.
The detector's "learned" baseline is not lost, even when the detector
is removed for cleaning. Signature Series environmental
compenstion is so reliable that it meets NFPA 72 field sensitivity
testing requirements-without the need for external meters.
The detector's sensitivity setting selected by the installer floats up
or down to remain constant relative to the changing baseline. This
is called differential sensing.
Sensitivity Range: The SIG A-PS Photoelectric Detector has a
sensitivity range or window of 0.67% to 3. 77%. The installer
selects the detector's ALARM sensitivity level from five available
settings within the range.
Pre•Alarm: The detector stores one of 20 pre-alarm sensitivity values
to alert local personnel prior to the sensor reaching a full evacuation
sensitivity. Sensitivity values can be set in 5% increments.1
Automatic Day/Night Sensitivity Selection: Signature Series
detectors may be programmed for different sensitivities during day
and night periods. This allows the detector to be more sensitive
during unoccupied periods when lower ambient background
conditions are expected.
Stability: The SIGA-PS detector's sensitivity remains stable in wind
velocities upto 5,000ft/min (25.3 m/sec). Ambient temperature has
very little affect on the detector. The detector may be installed in
rooms with ambient temperatures upto 120°F (49°C).
Status LEDs: Twin LEDs are visible from any direction. A flashing
GREEN LED shows normal system polling from the loop
controller. A flashing RED LED means the detector is in alarm
state. Both LEDs on steady shows alarm state -stand-alone mode.
Normal GREEN LED activity is not distracting to building occupants,
but can be quickly spotted by a maintenance technician.
Quality and Reliability: EST detectors are manufactured in North
America to strict international ISO 9001 standards. All electronics
utilize surface mount technology (SMTI for smaller size and greater
immunity to RF noise. A conformal coating is used for humidity
and corrosion resistance. All critical contacts are gold plated.
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
European BESA and 1-gang boxes with 60.3 mm fixing centers.

Testing & Maintenance
Each detector automatically identifies when it is dirty or defective
and causes a "dirty detector" message. The detector's sensitivity
measurement can also be transmitted to the loop controller. A
sensitivity report can be printed to satisfy NFPA sensitivity meas-
urements 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.
Scheduled maintenance (Regular or Selected) for proper detector
operation should be planned to meet the requirements of the
Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Refer to current NFPA 72 and
ULC CAN/ULC 536 standards.
Compatibility
The SIGA-PS detectors are compatible only with EST's Signature
Loop Controller.

All detector mounting bases have wiring terminals that are
accessible rrom the "room.side" after mounting the base to the
electrical box. The bases mount to North American 1-gang boxes
and to 3½ inch or 4 inch octagon boxes, 1 ½ inches (38 mm) deep.
They also mount to European BESA and 1-gang boxes with 60.3
mm fixing centers. The SIGA-S84, SIGA-RB4, and SIGA-1B4 mount
to North American 4 inch sq. electrical boxes in addition to the
above boxes. They include the SIGA-TS4 Trim Skirt which is used
to cover the "mounting ears" on the base.

Audible Base Standard Basa Isolator Basa Relay Basa Remote LED
Standard BaseSIGA~SB, SIGA~S84 -This is the basic mounting
base for EST Signature Series detectors. The SI GA-LED Remote
LED is supported by the Standard Base.
Relay Base SIGA-RB, SIGA-RB4 • This base includes a relay.
Normally open or closed operation is selected during installation.
The dry contact is rated for 1 amp (pilot duty)@ 30 Vdc. The relay's
position is supervised to avoid accidentally jarring it out of position.
The SIGA-RB can be operated as a control relay if programmed to
doso at the control panel (EST3 V.2 only). The relay base does not
support the SI GA-LED Remote LED.
Audible Base SIGA-AB4-This base is designed for use where
localized or group alarm signaling is required. When the detector
senses an alarm condition, the audible base emits a local alarm
signal. The optional SIGA-CRR Polarity Reversal Relay can be used
for sounding to other audible bases on the same 24 Vdc circuit.
Relay and Audible Bases operate as follows:
-at system power-up or reset, the relay is de-energized
-when a detector is installed in the base with the power
on, the relay energizes for four seconds, then de-energizes
-when a detector ls removed from a base with the power on,
the relay is de-energized
-when the detector enters the alarm state, the relay is energized.
Isolator Base SIGA-18, SIGA-184 -This base includes a built-in line
fault isolator for use on Class A circuits. A detector must be
installed for it to operate. The isolator base does not support the
SIGA-LED Remote LED.
The isolator operates as follows:
-a short on the line causes all isolators to open within 23 msec
-at 10 msec intervals, beginning on one side of the Class A
circuit nearest the loop controller, the isolators close to
provide the next isolator down the line with power
-when the isolator next to the short closes, reopens within 1 O msec.
The process repeats beginning on the other side of the loop
controller.
Remote LED SIGA-LED -The remote LED connects to the SI GA-SB
or SIGA-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.
Warnings & Cautions
This detector will not operate without electrical power. As fires
frequently cause power interruption, we suggest you discuss further
safeguards with your fire protection specialist.
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.

Designed for use with standard 40, 3D, and Photoelectric
Signature Series smoke detectors. Does not require "speciar
duct smoke heads.
■ Standard, relay, or isolator detector base
Detector plugs-in to base then easily installs into housing.
■ Install in ducts up to 10 ft. (3.05 m) wide
■ Remote LED and test station accessories
■ Designed and manufactured to ISO 9001 standards
Description
The SIGA-DH Duct Smoke Detector Housing is specially engi-
neered to exploit all the capabilities of Signature Series intelligent
photoelectric and multisensorsmoke detectors. EST Signature
Series detectors gather analog information from each of their one
or more sensing elements and converts it into digital signals. The
detector'sonboard microprocessor measures and analyzes these
signals. It compares them to historical readings, time patterns and
known characteristics to make an alarm decision. Digital filters and
complex Algorithms are applied for optimum detector accuracy.
Unwanted alarms are virtually eliminated.
Each duct housing is packaged with detailed installation instruc-
tions, gaskets and a self-adhesive drilling template for locating and
mounting the detector. The large access door is completely
removable to allow fast detector installation and field wiring
connections. The 16 gauge steel housing is finished in red baked
enamel for easy identification. Five one-gang knockouts on the
housing provide a convenient location for mounting intelligent
Signature Series modules.
The SIGA-DH Duct Housing comes with a 6 inch (150 mm) exhaust
tube. Air sampling tubes are available in lengths from 8 inches (200
mm) to 10 feet (3048 mm) and must be ordered separately.
Compatible smoke detectors, mounting bases, and accessories are
listed in the Ordering Information. Refer to individual device
catalog literature pages for more detail.

Intelligent Duct Smoke Detectors
Compatible Signature Series detectors include the SIGA-IPHS4D
Multisensor Smoke Detector with THREE INTEGRATED SENSING
TECHNOLOGIES. It combines Ionization, Photoelectric and Heat
sensors and processes and analyzes information from each sensor
separately using dynamic filters. Also compatible are the SIGA-
PHS 3D Multisensor Detector and the SIGA-PS Photoelectric
Detector. The installer selects the alarm sensitivity level from the
detector's wide 0.67 to 3.7% sensitivity range window. Five settings
are available from within the range.
Environmental Compensation
Detection sensitivity for Signature Series detectors is virtually
independent of their installed environment and their physical
condition. Each sensing element adapts to long-term changes
caused by dirt, humidity. aging etc. Every 8.6 minutes the detector
adjusts and updates the sensitivity(% obscuration) ambient
baseline for its smoke sensing element. Every 68 minutes this
information is written to its permanent memory.
The detector's alarm sensitivity setting selected by the installer
floats up or down to remain constant relative to the changing
baseline. This is called environmental compensation.
Identification of Dirty or Defective Detectors
Each detector automatically identifies when it is polluted and
causes a "dirty detector" message. The detector's sensitivity
measurement can also be transmitted to the loop controller. This
measurement satisfies NFPA sensitivity measurement requirements.
The detector's internal components are self-supervised. Up to 32
trouble codes are generated and displayed for diagnostics.

Non-Volatile Memory
Signature Series smoke detectors permanently store a serial
number, type of device and job number. Automatic updates of
historic information including hours of operation, last maintenance
date, number of alarms and troubles, time and date of last alarm
are available. ln the unlikely event that an unwanted alarm does
take place, the history file can be called up to help isolate the
problem and prevent it from happening again.
Electronic Addressing & Device Mapping
The Signature loop controller automatically addresses each
detector to save valuable time during system commissioning.
Setting complicated switches or dials on each intelligent device is
not required. If desired, the detectors can be custom addressed
using the Signature Series Data Entry Program.
The wired circuits between each device can be examined using the
data entry program along with the self-mapping feature built into
all Signature Series devices. With its graphic support, layout or
"as-built" drawing information showing wire branches (T-taps),
device types and their address are stored on disk for printing hard
copy. This takes the mystery out of the installation. The preparation
of "as-built" drawings is fast and efficient.
Device mapping also allows the Signature loop controller to
discover:
-unexpected additional device addresses
-missing device addresses
• changes to the wiring in the data loop.
Stand-Alone Operation
On-board intelligence permits Signature devices to operate in stand-
alone mode. Should loop controller CPU communications fail for
more than four seconds, all devices on that circuit (loop) go into
stand-alone mode. The loop acts like a conventional alarm receiving
circuit. Each detector on the loop continues to collect and analyze
information from its surroundings. The detector alarms if the preset
smoke obscuration level is reached and causes a loop alarm. lf the
detector is mounted to a relay base, the relay operates. Similarly, if
it is mounted to an audible base, the on-board horn sounds.
Quality and Reliability
EST detectors are designed and manufactured in North America to
ISO 9001 standards. All electronics utilize surface mount technol-
ogy (SMn for smaller size and greater immunity to RF noise. A
conformal coating is used for corrosion resistance and all critical
contacts are gold plated.
Typical Wiring
The detector mounting bases and test station will accept #18 AWG
(0.75mm'), #16 (1.0mm'), #14 AWG (1.50mm') and #12AWG
(2.5 mm2) wire sizes. Note: #14 AWG (1.5 mm2) is not recommended

Isolator Base does not support the SI GA-LED Remote LED .
Alarm LED Indicator
The SIGA-LED Alarm Indicator is suitable for use with the SIG A-SB
detector base only. A maximum of one can be operated for each
detector. It features a red LED on a one-gang plastic plate and can
be installed remote or directly on the SIGA-DH Duct Housing.
Duct Test Station
The SIGA-DTS Duct Test Station uses a key switch along with an
integral intelligent input module mounted on a two-gang plastic
plate. It is supplied with two keys and features a red alarm LED.
When the key is turned to the "TEST" position, the LED lights and
the integral module remotely inputs a duct detector test alarm. The
actions and sequences programmed at the control panel to
activate dampers and other smoke control measures, are easily
tested. Detector relay bases are not affected or activated. Resetting
the control panel clears the test and returns the system to normal.
The key cannot be removed when in the "TEST' position.
The Duct Test Station mounts to standard 2-inch deep North
American two-gang and 4-inch square electric boxes and
European 100 mm square boxes.
Air Velocity Test Kit
The 6263-SG Air Velocity Test Kit is specially designed to interface
to the SlGA-DH Duct Housing. It is used to test or confirm the air
velocity in HVAC ducts where the duct housing is installed.

Application Notes
The SIGA-DH Duct Smoke Detector Housing requires a clear, flat,
accessible area on the duct of at least 7-3/8 inches (188mm) W x
7 inches (175mm) H. The duct housing must be installed on ducts
at least 8 inches (200mm) wide. To avoid the effects of
stratification, install the detector housing a minimum of six duct
widths beyond any bends in the duct. Duct detectors are usually
installed on the supply duct after the air filters; or in the return air
stream prior to being diluted by outside air.

Sample tube length must span the entire width of the air duct and
the tube can be easily cut to any length. Inlet tubes longer than 3
ft. (900mm) must be supported at both ends.
Duct detectors continually sample air flow in a HVAC duct and
initiate an alarm condition whenever smoke is detected. An alarm
is activated when the quantity (percent obscuration) of combustion
products in that air sample exceeds the detector's sensitivity
setting.
Air velocity in the duct maintains the airflow that enters the
detector housing through perforations in the air sampling inlet tube
and discharges through the outlet exhaust tube. The detector
housing must be installed with its INLET air sampling tube
upstream of the EXHAUST tube. Before installing the duct detector
housing, test the duct air velocity to verify it is within the limits of
the Signature smoke detector that is being installed. Also verify that
duct air relative humidity is within 0% and 93%.
WARNING: Duct detectors have specific limitations. Duct detectors
ARE NOT a substitute for an open area smoke detector. Duct
detectors ARE NOT a substitute for early warning detection. Duct
detectors ARE NOT a replacement for a building's regular fire
detection system. Smoke detectors ARE NOT designed to detect
toxic gases which can build up to hazardous levels in some fires.
These devices WILL NOT operate without electrical power. As fires
frequently cause power interruptions, EST suggests you discuss
further safeguards with your local fire protection specialist.
Installation and Mounting
EST recommends duct detectors always be installed in
accordance with the latest recognized editions of local and
national fire alarm codes.

Description
The SIGA-270 and SIGA-278 series Manual Pull Stations are part of
EST's Signature Series system. The SIGA-270 Fire Alarm Manual
Pull Stations feature ourveryfamiliarteardrop shape. They are
made from die-cast zinc and finished with red epoxy powder-coat
paint complemented by aluminum colored stripes and markings.
With positive pull-lever operation, one pull on the station handle
breaks the glass rod and turns in a positive alarm, ensuring
protection plus fool-proof operation. ?resignal models (SIGA-270P)
are equipped with a general at arm (GA) keyswitch for applications
where two stage operation is required. The up-front highly visible
glass rod discourages tampering.
EST's double action single stage SIGA-278 station is a contempo-
rary style manual station made from durable red colored lexan.
To initiate an alarm, first lift the upper door marked "LIFTTHEN.1~
PULL HANDLE", then pull the alarm handle.
The integral microprocessor built into each Signature Series
station provides four important benefits -Self-diagnostics and
History Log.Automatic Device Mapping, Stand~alone Operation
and Fast, Stable Communication.
Self-diagnostics and History Log -Each Signature Series manual
station constantly runs self-checks to provide important main-
tenance information. The results of the self-check are automatically
updated and permanently stored in the station's non-volatile
memory. This information is accessible for review any time at the
control panel, PC, or by using the SI GA-PAO Signature Program/
Service Tool.

The information stored in the station's memory includes:
-station serial number, address, and type
-date of manufacture, hours of operation, and last maintenance
date'
-number of recorded alarms and troubles2
-time and date of lastalarm1
-most recent trouble code logged by the detector-24 possible
trouble codes may be used to diagnose faults.
Automatic Device Mapping -The loop controller learns where
each device's serial number address is installed relative to other
devices on the circuit. The loop controller keeps a map of the
Signature Series devices connected to it.
The Signature Series Data Entry Program also uses the mapping
feature. With interactive menus and graphic support, the wired
circuits between each device can be examined. Layout or "as-
built" drawing information showing wire branches (T-taps), device
types and their address are stored on disk for printing hard copy.
This takes the mystery out of the installation. The preparation of as-
built drawings is fast and efficient.
Device mapping allows the Signature loop controller to discover:
-unexpected additional device addresses
-missingdeviceaddresses
-changes to the wiring in the circuit.
Stand-alone Operation -A decentralized alarm decision by the
manual station is guaranteed. On-board intelligence permits the
station to operate in stand-alone mode. If loop controller CPU
communications 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. Each station will still transmit
an alarm if its operating lever is pulled.
Fast Stable Communication -Built-in intelligence means less
information needs to be sent between the station and the loop
controller. Other than regular supervisory polling response, the
station only needs to communicate with the loop controller when it
has something new to report. This provides very fast control panel
response time and allows a lower baud rate (speed) to be used for
communication on the circuit. The lower baud rate offers several
advantages including:
-less sensitivity to circuit wire characteristics
-less sensitivity to noise glitches on the cable
-less emitted noise from the data wiring
-twisted or shielded wiring is not required.
Diagnostic LEDs -Twin LEDs provide visual indication of normal
and alarm conditions. They are visible only when the station is
removed from the mounting box. A flashing GREEN LED shows
normal system polling from the loop controller. A flashing RED
LED means the station is in alarm state. Both LEDs on steady shows
alarm state -stand-alone mode.
Quality and Reliability-EST modules are manufactured in North
America to strict international ISO 9001 standards. All electronics
utilize surface mount technology (SMT) for smaller size and greater
immunity to RF noise. A conformal coating is used for humidity
and corrosion resistance.

exposed switch. The SIGA-270 series are opened with a tool; the
SIGA-278 requires the key which is supplied with that station.
The station's automatic self-diagnosis identifies when it is defective
and causes a trouble message. The user-friendly maintenance
program shows the current state of each Signature series device
and other pertinent messages. Single devices may be deactivated
temporarily, from the control panel. Availability of maintenance
features is dependent on the fire alarm system used.
Scheduled maintenance (Regular or Selected) for proper system
operation should be planned to meet the requirements of the

Description
The SIGA-CTl Single Input Module and SIGA-CT2/SIGA-MCT2
Dual Input Modules are intelligent analog addressable devices
used to connect one or two Class 8 normally-open Alarm, Super
sory, or Monitor type dry contact Initiating Device Circuits (IDC).
The actual function of these modules is determined by the "persc
ality code" selected by the installer. This code is downloaded to
the module from the Signature loop controller during system
configuration.
The input modules gather analog information from the initiating
devices connected to them and convert it into digital sjgnals. The
module's on-board microprocessor analyzes the signal and
decides whether or not to input an alarm.
The SIGA-CT1 and SIGA-CT2 mount to standard North American
1-gang electrical boxes, making them ideal for locations where
only one module is required. Separate 1/0 and data loop connec-
tions are made to each module.
The SIGA-MCT2 is part of the UIO family of plug-in Signature

UIO Morerboard
-Cabinet or electrical encloswe
Electronic Addressing -The loop controller electronically ad-
dresses each module, saving valuable time during system com-
missioning. Setting complicated switches or dials is not required.
Each module has its own unique serial number stored in its on-
board memory. The loop controller identifies each device on the
loop and assigns a "soft" address to each serial number. If desired,
the modules can be addressed using the SI GA-PRO Signature
Program/Service Tool.
EST recommends that this module be installed according to latest
recognized edition of national and local fire alarm codes.
Compatibility
The Signature SerieS modules are compatible only with EST's
Signature Loop Controller.
Application
The duty performed by the SIGA-CT1 and SIGA-CT2/MCT2 is
determined by their sub-type code or "Personality Code". The
code is selected by the installer depending upon the desired applica-
tion and is downloaded from the loop controller.
One personality code can be assigned to the SIGA-CT1. Two
personality codes can be assigned to the SIGA-CT2/MCT2. Codes
1, 2, 3 and 4 can be mixed on S1GA-CT2/MCT2 modules only. For
example, personality code 1 can be assigned to the first address
(circuit A) and code 4 can be assigned to the second address
(circuit B).
NORMALLY-OPEN ALARM· LATCHING (Personality Code 1) •
Assign to one or both circuits. Configures either circuit A or B or
both for Class B normally open dry contact initiating devices such
as Pull Stations, Heat Detectors, etc. An ALARM signal is sent to
the loop controller when the input contact is closed. The alarm

NORMALLY-OPEN ALARM· DELAYED LATCHING
(Personality Code 2) -Assign to one or both circuits. Configures
either circuit A or B or both for Class B normally-open dry contact
initiating devices such as Waterflow Alarm Switches. An ALARM
signal ls sent to the loop controller when the input contact is
closed for approximately 16 seconds. The alarm condition is
latched at the module.
NORMALLY-OPEN ACTIVE. NON-LATCHING (Personality Code
3) -Assign to one or both circuits. Configures either circuit A or B
or both for Class 8 normally-open dry contact monitoring input
such as from Fans, Dampers, Doors, etc. An ACTIVE signal is sent

Description (Signature Overview)
The Signature Series intelligent analog-addressable system from
Edwards Systems Technology is an entire family of multi-sensor
detectors and mounting bases, multiple-function input and output
modules, network and non-network control panels, and user-
friendly maintenance and service tools. Analog information from
equipment connected to Signature devices is gathered and
converted into digital signals. An onboard microprocessor in each
Signature device measures and analyzes the signal and decides
whether or not to Input an alarm. The microprocessor in each
Signature device provides four additional benefits -Self-diagnos-
tics and History Log, Automatic Device Mapping, Stand-alone
Operation and Fast, Stable Communication.
Self-diagnostics and History Log -Each Signature Series device
constantly runs self-checks to provide important maintenance
information. The results of the self-check are automatically updated
and permanently stored in its non-volatile memory. This
information is accessible for review any time at the control panel,
PC, or using the SIGA-PRO Signature Program/Service Tool. The
information stored in device memory includes:
• Device serial number, address, and type
.. Date of manufacture, hours of operation, and last maintenance date2
• Number of recorded alarms and troubles2
• Time and date of last alarm1
• Most recent trouble code logged by the detector -32 possible
trouble codes may be used to diagnose faults.
Automatic Device Mapping -The Signature Data Controller (SOC)
learns where each device's serial number address is installed
relative to other devices on the circuit. The SOC keeps a map of all
Signature Series devices connected to it. The Signature Series Data
Entry Program also uses the mapping feature. With interactive
menus and graphic support, the wired circuits between each device
can be examined. Layout or "as-builr drawing information showing
branch wiring (T-taps), device types and their address are stored
on disk for printing hard copy. This takes the mystery out of the
installation. The preparation of as-built drawings is fast and efficient.
Device mapping allows the Signature Data Controller to discover:
• Unexpected additional device addresses.
.. Missing device addresses.
.. Changes to the wiring in the circuit.
Most Signature modules use a "personality code" selected by the
installer to determine their actual function. Personality codes are
downloaded from the SOC during system configuration and are
indicated during deVice mapping.
Use with Sianature Looo Controller
UL, ULC (See Orderina Table), MEA, CSFM
Standalone Operation -A decentralized alarm decision by the
device is guaranteed. Onboard intelligence permits the device to
operate in standalone (degrade) mode. If Signature loop controller
CPU communications fail for more than four seconds, all devices
on that circuit go into standalone mode. The circuit acts like a
conventional alarm receiving circuit. Each Signature device on the
circuit continues to collect and analyze information from its slave
devices. When connected to a panel utilizing standalone
operation, modules with their "personality" set as alarm devices
(IDC) will alarm should their slave alarm-initiating device activate.
Fast Stable Communication -Built-in intelligence means less informa-
tion needs to be sent between the device and the Signature Data
Controller (SDC). Other than regular supervisory polling response,
Signature devices only need to communicate with the SDC when
they have something new to report. This provides very fast control
panel response and allows a lower baud rate {speed) to be used for
communication on the circuit. The lower baud rate offers several
advantages including:
• Less sensitivity to circuit wire characteristics.
• Less sensitivity to noise glitches on the cable .
• Less emitted noise from the data wiring.
• Twisted or shielded wiring is not required.
Diagnostic LEDs -Twin LEDs on most Signature devices provide
visual indication of normal and alarm-active conditions. A flashing
green LED shows normal system polllng. A flashing red LED
means the module is in alarm-active state. Both LEDs on steady
indicates alarm-active state -standalone mode.
Testing & Maintenance -Automatic self-diagnosis identifies when
a Signature device is defective and causes a trouble message. The
user-friendly maintenance program shows the current state of each
device and other pertinent information. Single devices may be
turned off temporarily, from the control panel. Scheduled mainte-
nance (Regular or Selected) for proper system operation should
be planned to meet the requirements of the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ). Refer to current NFPA 72 and ULC CAN/ULC 536
standards.
Quality and Reliability -EST Signature devices are manufactured in
North America to strict international ISO 9001 standards. All electron-
ics utilize surface mount technology (SMTI for smaller size and
greater immunity to RF noise. A conformal coating is used for
humidity and corrosion resistance.

Description
The Control Relay Module and the Polarity Reversal Relay Module
are part of EST's Signature Series system. They are intelligent
analog addressable devices available in either plug-in (UIO)
versions, or standard 1-gang mount versions.
The SIGA-CR/MCR Control Relay Module provides a Form "C" dry
relay contact to control external appliances such as door closers,
fans, dampers etc. This device does not provide supervision of the
state of the relay contact. Instead, the on-board microprocessor
ensures that the relay is in the proper ON/OFF state. Upon
command from the loop controller, the SIGA-CR/MCR relay
activates the normally open or normally-closed contact.
The SIGA-CRR/MCRR Polarity Reversal Relay Module provides a
Form "C" dry relay contact to power and activate a series of SIGA-
AB4 Audible Sounder Bases. Upon command from the Signature
loop controller, the SIGA-CRR reverses the polarity of its 24 Vd~
output. thus activating all Sounder Bases on the data loop.
Standard-mount versions (SIGA-CR and SIGA-CRR) are installed to
standard North American 1-gang electrical boxes, making them
ideal for locations where only one module is required. Separate 1/0
and data loop connections are made to each module.
Plug-in UIO versions {SIGA-MCR and SIGA-MCRR) are part of the
UIO family of plug-in Signature Series modules. They function
identically to the standard mount versions, but take advantage of
the modular flexibility and easy installation that characterizes all
UIO modules. Two-and six-module UIO motherboards are
available. All wiring connections are made to terminal blocks on
the motherboard. UIO assemblies may be mounted in EST
enclosures.

Device serial number, address, and type
Date of manufacture, hours of operation, and last
maintenance date2
Number of recorded alarms and troubles2
Time and date of last alarm1
Most recent trouble code logged by the detector -32
possible trouble codes may be used to diagnose faults.
Automatic Device Mapping-The Signature Data Controller (SOC)
learns where each device's serial number address is installed relative
to other devices on the circuit. The SOC keeps a map of all Signature
Series devices connected to it The Signature Series Data Entry
Program al souses the mapping feature. With interactive menus and
graphic support, the wired circuits between each device can be
examined. Layout or "as-built" drawing information showing branch
wiring (T-taps), device types and their address are stored on disk for
printing hard copy. This takes the mystery out of the installation. The
preparation of as-built drawings is fast and efficient.
Device mapping allows the Signature Data Controller to discover:
Unexpected additional device addresses
Missing device addresses
Changes to the wiring in the circuit.
Most Signature modules use a personality code selected by the
installer to determine their actual function. Personality codes are
downloaded from the SDC during system configuration and are
indicated during device mapping.
, EST3 V.2 only.
2 Retrievable with SIGA-PRO programming tool.
Standalone Operation -A decentralized alarm decision by the
device is guaranteed. On board intelligence permits the device to
operate in standalone {degrade) mode. lf Signature loop controller
CPU communications fail for more than four seconds, all devices
on that circuit go into standalone mode. The circuit acts like a
conventional alarm receiving circuit. Each Signature device on the
circuit continues to collect and analyze information from its slave
devices. When connected to a panel utilizing standalone operation,
modules with their "personality" set as alarm devices (IDC) will
alarm should their slave alarm-initiating device activate.
Fast Stable Communication-Built-in intelligence means less
information needs to be sent between the device and the Signature
Data Controller (SOC). Other than regular supervisory polling
response, Signature devices only need to communicate with the
SDC when they have something new to report. This provides very
fast control panel response and allows a lower baud rate (speed)
to be used for communication on the circuit. The lower baud rate
offers several advantages including:
• Less sensitivity to circuit wire characteristics
• Less sensitivity to noise glitches on the cable
• Less emitted noise from the data wiring
• Twisted or shielded wiring is not required.
Diagnostic LEDs-Twin LEDs on most Signature devices provide
visual indication of normal and alarm-active conditions. A flashing
green LED shows normal system polling. A flashing red LED
means the module is in alarm-active state. Both LEDs on steady
indicates alarm-active state -standalone mode.
Tes ting & Maintenance-Automatic self-diagnosis identifies when
a Signature device is defective and causes a trouble message. The
user-friendly maintenance program shows the current state of each
device and other pertinent information. Single devices may be
turned off temporarily, from the control panel. Scheduled mainte-
nance (Regular or Selected) for proper system operation should
be planned to meet the requirements of the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ). Refer to current NFPA 72 and ULC CAN/ULC
536 standards.
Quality and Reliability-EST Signature devices are manufactured in
North America to strict international ISO 9001 standards. All electron-
ics utilize surface mount technology (SMT) for smaller size and
greater immunity to RF noise. A conformal coating is used for
humidity and corrosion resistance.

Discharge Time@ 20°c (66°F)
CHARGING
Cycle applications: Limit initial current to 0.20C (C is
the nominal A.H. capacity of the battery). Charge until
battery voltage (under charge reaches 2.45 volts per
cell at 68°F (20°C). Hold at 2.45 volts per cell until cur-
rent drops to approximately 0.01 C ampere. Battery is
fully charged under these conditions, and charger
should either be disconnected or switched to "float"
voltage.
"Float" or "Stand-By" Service: Hold battery across
constant voltage source of 2.25 to 2.30 volts per cell
continuously. When held at this voltage, the battery will
seek its own current level and maintain itself in a fully
charged condition.
APPLICATION NOTES
Continuous over or undercharging is the single worst
enemy of a lead acid-battery. Caution should be exer-
cised to insure that the charger is disconnected after
cycle charging, or that the float voltage is set correctly.
Because there is a chance of off-gassing hydrogen and
oxygen if the battery is overcharged, it is important to
provide adequate air circulation.
Batteries should not be stored in a discharged state (or
in a hot place). If a battery has been discharged for
some time it may not readily take a charge. To over-
come this, leave the charger connected and the bat-
tery will eventually begin to accept charge.
Due to the sell-discharge characteristics of this type of
battery, it is imperative that they be charged after 6-9
months of storage, otherwise permanent loss of
capacity might occur as a result of sulfation. To prolong
shelf life without charging, store batteries at 50°F (10°C)
or less.
