Fire Control Instruments announces the new E3 expandable emergency evacuation system. The E3 offers modular construction and components that can be purchased as needed to expand the system over time. A peer-to-peer network operating at 625K baud, the E3 can be arranged as Style 4 or Style 7, using two conductor unshielded wire or fiber cables. The network riser includes paging, firefighter telephones and input/output capabilities.
The system incorporates a range of existing components, and improvements on existing technology include the addition of network-enabled ILI-MB and ILI-S fire panels, which can store 8 MB of memory. With the creation of an external DACT-485, the interface is more easily accessible with improved transient protection.
