EVERY
DAY, THE DUBAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT DEPENDS ON EST FOR THE
SAFE PASSAGE OF PEOPLE |
| |
 |
| |
The
state-of-the-art expansion of Dubai International airport
required a state-of-the-art EST life safety system. With over
125 years' experience in the industry, EST International is
continually looking for new ways to protect your terminal
by pioneering (and rigorously testing) new technologies like
intelligent detectors, peer to peer life safety and integrated
systems. Our EST3 system integrates building systems (security,
life safety, access control) into one convenient control panel. |

| INTELLIGENT
DIGITAL MULTISENSOR DETECTION TECHNOLOGY |
| |
|
EST Signature Series detectors offer true
multisensor technology and exquisite reliability that virtually
does away with false alarms. They accomplish this by means
of an on-board microprocessor that constantly monitors the
state of its sensors. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the
microprocessor effectively distinguishes between a legitimate
change of state and a non-threatening situation that would
otherwise lead to a false alarm.
What's more, true multisensor technology means that a single
device can perform optimally under a wider range of conditions
than any single-sensor detector.

| MICROPROCESSOR
TECHNOLOGY |
EST’s
new multisensor design operates completely different than
any other detector ever offered to the industry. The measurements
from all sensing elements are integrated and looked at simultaneously.The
on-board microprocessor enables the sensors in the Signature
detectors to work in unison providing remarkable synergy.
Each sensor’s output is processed through an algorithm
and “weighted” with respect to its environment
and time. Digital filters provide environmental compensation
for each of the detection elements independent of each other.
Combining the detection technologies of photoelectric, ionization,
and heat (4D – time being the fourth dimension) gives
our multisensor technology unprecedented response to all fires.

| DISTRIBUTED
INTELLIGENCE |
|
All Signature Series devices make full use
of their on-board microprocessors. Alarm decisions are made
at the device, thus reserving precious processing power at
the control panel for other functions. This strategy, known
as Distributed Intelligence, means that high communication
speeds are unnecessary because the data reaches the control
panel already processed. And lower communications speeds means
that shielded wiring is unnecessary:
Signature Series devices can use existing
wiring in most retrofit applications, yet at the same time
deliver response times superior to conventional devices! |
| |
| ELECTRONIC SYSTEM
MAPPING & ELECTRONIC ADDRESSING |
Dip
switches and dials are also a thing of the past where Signature
devices are installed. Because they are electronically addressed,
the Signature loop controller automatically maps each device's
location. And that means the system always knows what's out
there and device-polling resumes automatically at power up,
regardless of the changes that have taken place. |
| |
| SYNERGY |
| |
|
By combining a number of common elements,
EST brings Fire, Security, Emergency Evacuation, Access Control,
and CCTV together into one cohesive system. With the EST3
control panel and the Fireworks color graphics event monitoring
and management package providing the backbone, the Synergy
Enabled™ life safety system meets all legislated requirements
- namely, that life safety takes precedence among the activities
orchestrated by the control panel.
|
| |
After
all, only a truly integrated fire and security system can
assure that high volume card access activity will not affect
the priority and network response speed of fire reporting
- a characteristic mandated by codes and standards. |
| |
|
TRUE SYSTEM INTEGRATION
True integration permits systems to interact easily, unlocking
exit doors during a fire, for example. With the EST3, a simple
program rule to unlock the doors replaces additional conduit,
wiring and interposing relays. Want to disarm security partitions
automatically when an authorized cardholder enters the building?
EST3 Synergy Enabled™ integration and another system
rule easily solves the problem. |
| |
So
what does all this mean? It means that for the first time,
security and card access functions will benefit from the survivability
and the reliability mandated by the fire codes and life safety
standards. It means that costs will be reduced because system
resources will now be shared. It means that installation will
be vastly more efficient. No more layering of system upon
system and no more finger pointing. No more patch-work protocols
or gateways that shoehorn one system into another. Just the
simple elegance of a single system unencumbered by needless
redundancy - a truly integrated system with sole-source system-wide
responsibility. |
