Network - Peer-to-peer network communications - Up to five Control Panel Nodes - Up to five Network Annunciators - Full System Operation from any Node - Class B(style 4) or Class A(style 6) wiring configuration - Three-second network response time ? Control Panels - Up to 192 intelligent detectors - Up to 188 intelligent modules - Up to four built in NACs - Fully integrated Audio Options - Integrated Digital voice messages - Display optional on remote nodes Overview The EST2 Network has a comprehensive offering of modular com- ponents designed to meet a wide range of building applications. Multiple nodes with configurable routing combined with distributed architecture allow several operational configurations. The EST2 Network supports up to five control panel nodes and five network annunciators. Each control panel will support up to 192 intelligent Signature Series detectors and 188 intelligent Signature modules. The distributed intelligence network architecture com- municating via the RS-485 Peer to Peer network provides global or local control and annunciation at any node. Each node also pro- vides separate RS-485 data line to support local annunciation using 2-LSRA, SAN and 2-SMDN series annunciators. Networking EST2 easily integrates audio control as well offering both distributed and banked amplifier configurations. Adding fire- fighter’s telephone and/or paging microphone operating into one or two channel audio systems gives project design flexibility with ease of configuration. Several independent audio systems can be configured in a network through simple programming. EST2 Network Control Panels Data Sheet 85005-0099 Issue 5 Not to be used for installation purposes.
