E3BB-BAA Datasheet, PDF (1/3 Pages) Gamewell-FCI by Honeywell – Combined Fire and MNS System

E3 Series^® 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, self-
regenerating, token ring passing networks consisting of
either of the following:
• 2 to 64 nodes
• up to 122 nodes with the addition of an ANX
Note: The ANX is used for Fire applications only.
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 use with both Fire and Mass
Notification functions. In addition, the design can be used
as a dedicated, standalone Mass Notification System with-
out 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 individ-
ual node types and modules in the E3 Series System fam-
ily 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
