Fire and MNS System

Combined Fire and MNS System

Description

E3 Series® is a registered trademark of Honeywell International Inc.

UL® is a registered trademark of Underwriter’s Laboratories Inc.

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
