EST4 is the latest fire detection and communications platform from Edwards. Though it's a small change in name from its predecessor EST3, EST4's leap forward in capability is anything but diminutive — a whole new network architecture that makes fire alarm, mass notification and building integration easy to implement, quick to service, and secure against today's cyber threats.
Colour LCD touchscreen technology, programmable colour display strips and tactile direct-access control buttons.
Adapts to a wide range of configurations, including full mesh topology — and allows changes in the physical layer from copper to fibre.
Network connections at control panels and annunciators can be swapped without taking the network down.
Supports standalone or single network configurations, scaling up to multiple network systems for medium to large multi-building sites.
Multilingual support and modular construction fit the platform to the project, not the other way round.
Built to meet the standard specified across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Fully backward compatible with existing EST3 projects, with an easy migration route for future-proofing.
Panel-to-panel cabling reduction, cybersecurity, remote connectivity and flexible network configurations.
Protection built against today's cyber threats, with updates that comply with 10-second alarm-event annunciation requirements.
Automatically archives the active project database across two fire alarm network nodes, two folders, or one of each — so you can always retrieve a working version.
Change the LCD background image to one associated with the protected premises or the service company.
Connects to building management systems via BACnet or Modbus, using a field server bridge; connects to FireWorks directly.
Project-tree location text and device address information shown directly in alarm and fault reports.
A secure way for users to reset forgotten passwords with Technical Support assistance.
Published brochures covering the EST4 platform, Signature Optica detectors, and migrating from EST3.
