EST3 (GE)

Zero to alarm in under 3 seconds

With its lightning fast response time, our EST3 life safety system is trusted to protect some of the most prestigious buildings on the planet.

Excellence, for every application

From pioneering work in multi-sensor technology, to patented “full-light” strobe technology and many other award-winning design breakthroughs, GE Security has established itself as the leader in life safety technology.

The EST3 Control Panel leads the life safety industry thanks to innovations like its lightning fast 3 second response time, exceptionally survivable peer-to-peer network, eight channel digital audio, and more. The EST3 demonstrates that high tech doesn’t have to mean high price, cutting costs with its modular design and removable terminal blocks.

Intuitive

This powerful system puts control at your fingertips and provides the information you need in any situation. The extra large LCD displays the big picture, providing intuitive feedback on everything from routine maintenance to crisis events.

All system events are automatically categorized into one of four message queues. Alarm messages are never intermixed with trouble or supervisory signals, eliminating confusion. Annunciation of events can be expanded across LAN or WAN, also sent as email notification.

Survivor

The EST3 uses distributed technology to survive expected and unexpected events. Intelligent Signature detectors make their own alarm decisions independent of other system components. In the events of a CPU failure, the intelligent device controllers can still receive alarms and distribute a default alarm message to all other network components. The network offers long distance communication between panels using copper, fiber and modems. Should multiple wiring faults occur, the network reconfigures into sub-networks, still providing detection and signaling for the area. Multiple filatures like this are highly unlikely, but building owners enjoy peace of mind knowing EST3 is protecting their building and tenants. It’s like having a backup fire watch built into every panel!

Signature – Detection Solutions

Signature devices use on-board microprocessor to make alarm decisions at the device, reserving precious processing power at the control panel for other functions. This strategy, known as Distributed Intelligence, means the data is already processed when the information reaches the control panel.

For retrofit, nothing is more flexible. Signature Series devices can be phased in as budgets and renovation schedules permit. EST3’s support for both addressable and conventional devices allows cost-effective upgrades from an existing system. Thanks to Signature’s unique ability to use existing wire, costly rewiring is not require in most cases, and that saves installation cost!

Genesis – Signaling Solutions

EST3 features modular power supplies and amplifiers to support GE’s award-winning line of Genesis low-profile horns, strobes and speakers. Genesis family of signals are among the smallest and most compact UL listed audible-visual emergency signaling devices in the industry. And because Genesis signals actually outperform the old-fashioned bulky alternative for the same price, these devices have set the new standard in life safety signaling.

Reliability

New or retrofit, EST3 is the system to depend on, now and for many years to come. Decision makers the world over trust the power and performance of EST3 to protect their staff, visitors, and property.

Extended 5 Year Limited Warranty is now available on EST3 based systems (terms and conditions may apply).
