E3 Series® Combined Fire and MNS System Combined Fire and MNS System Description The Gamewell-FCI, E3 Series® Broadband Emergency Voice Evacuation System and the E3 Series Broadband Networked Fire Alarm System can be combined on the common network to form a combination Fire and Mass Notification (MNS) System in accordance with the NFPA and UL Standard UL2572 requirements. The E3 Series modules, nodes and control panels are peer-to-peer, selfregenerating, token ring passing networks consisting of 2 to 64 nodes, or consisting of up to 122 nodes with the addition of an ANX. The E3 Series System is a modular design. This adaptable design allows a wide range of configurations to form an integrated, distributed fire alarm system in combination with the audio evacuation for both Fire and Mass Notification functions as desired. The design also allows for its use as a dedicated, standalone Mass Notification System without a fire alarm service. The network communication conveys all of the following Fire Alarm and Mass Notification control functions: • Audio evacuation • Voice paging • Fire fighter communications over a single pair of wires or fiber-optic cable A Region contains only one ACU (Autonomous Control Unit), and multiple LOCs (Local Operating Consoles). Speaker circuits cannot be shared by Regions. The individual node types and modules in the E3 Series System family are interconnected to form the ACU and the LOC panels for Mass Notification as well as the following: • Fire Command • Control and Detection • AV Signaling • Audio functional units within the overall network system E3 Series Combined Fire and MNS System Features • Listed under ANSI/UL® Standard UL2572 for Mass Notification. • Listed under ANSI/UL Standard 864, 9th Edition. • IBC Seismic Certified. • Offers the Base Platform for the Emergency Communications System. • Provides true, seamless and scalable integration for Fire and Mass Notification that is configured applying the E3 Series building blocks using up to 122 nodes. • Includes a cost-effective, supervised, “Style 7” network wiring using a single pair of wire or fiber-optics at 625K baud. • Contains a compact, Local Operating Console (LOC) that is designed for installation in lobbies, doorways and hallways allowing quick access to do the following: - Broadcast MNS announcements. - View the System Status messages. • Designed with a user-friendly, color touchscreen display that provides all Fire and MNS Events at all locations. • Installs a simple configuration of multiple LOCs with expandability from 16 to 64 programmable switches for status, message activation and control.
