E3 Series® Broadband

E3 Series®
Broadband System
Description
Intelligent, Networked, Multi-Channel Fire Alarm Control
and Emergency Voice Evacuation System
The Gamewell-FCI, E3 Series® Broadband System
includes the NetSOLO® Broadband System. Like the NetSOLO Broadband System, the E3 Series Broadband is of
modular design and allows a wide range of configurations
from two basic sub-assemblies. These sub-assemblies
form an integrated, distributed fire alarm system that
includes audio evacuation and fire command capability.
The network communication transmits all fire alarm, audio
evacuation, voice paging, and fire fighter communications.
This System can be used as a component of the following
E3 Series Systems:
• E3 Series Broadband Voice Evacuation System
• E3 Series Combined Fire and Mass Notification System
The E3 Series Broadband is a revolutionary advance in
fire detection and emergency voice evacuation system
design. E3 Series Broadband employs proven technology
and expands it to accomplish emergency multi-channel
voice evacuation, two-way fire fighter communications,
and building control applications, all over a single pair of
wires or fiber-optic cable.
It is a true peer-to-peer, token ring passing, networked system capable of supporting up to 64 individual nodes. In
addition, the Addressable Node Expander (ANX) board
expands the network to 122 nodes. All system status, control-by-event sequences, audio voice paging, and fire
fighter telephone signals are sent between nodes over a
single pair of wires or fiber-optic cable.
Each E3 Series Broadband node can be spaced along the
network a maximum distance of 3,000 feet (914.4 m) over
an unshielded, twisted-pair of wires or fiber-optic cable
with up to 8dB loss. Built-in isolation at each node permits
Style 4, 6, and 7 network configurations.
The E3 Series Broadband is simple to configure for any
project requirement. A complete E3 Series Broadband
application can be assembled from the following types of
nodes; the ILI-E3/ILI95-E3 Series, ANX, the INCC Command Center, and the INX Transponder.

Description (Continued)
The Field Configuration Program (FCP) is based on Boolean logic statements providing AND, OR, NOT, and XOR
logic operators. These operators can be combined to produce additional Boolean operators such as NAND, NOR,
XNOR. The E3 Series Broadband is software-programmable for multi-channel digital audio applications. It is ideal
for use with a wide range of complex system applications
including high-rise or campus installations. An array of
cabinets allows for neat, compact, installations.
A comprehensive set of timing functions can be attached
to any input/output logic statement for the staggered reset
of fan control relays, time-delayed alarm activation, automatic. The E3 is a microprocessor-based fire alarm control
panel that uses an ILI-E3/ILI95-E3 Series, Intelligent Loop
Module or the ANX with two signaling line circuits and two
notification appliance circuits. When the E3 Series transmits to remote locations, the optional RPT-E3 provides the
ILI-E3/ILI95-E3 Series or the ANX with signal boosting and
transient protection, as well as connectivity for both wire
and fiber-optic cables. Options also include an integral
Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT) supporting most popular reporting formats.
INCC (Intelligent Network Command Center)
The Intelligent Network Command Center (INCC) serves
as the point of interface between an operator and the system’s audio evacuation, fire fighter intercom, and building
network. The INCC occupies a single address on the E3
Series Broadband network. A typical INCC assembly consists of the following:
• Intelligent Network Interface-Voice Gateway (INI-VGCFO or INI-VGC-UTP) module (fiber-optic or unshielded
twisted-pair).
• INI-VGC-UTP (unshielded twisted-pair only).
• One or more Addressable Switch Modules (ASM-16).
• Optional Network Graphic Annunciator (NGA).
• Remote 48 LED driver module (ANU-48).
Other component options include a paging microphone
and a fire fighter’s handset connecting to the INI-VGC-FO
or INI-VGC-UTP. Each INI-VGC can support up to 16
ASM-16 modules.
Each ASM-16 has 16 push-button switches for a maximum
capacity of 256 switches per INI-VGC command center.
Each switch has three associated LEDs, colored green,
yellow, and red. These switches and their LEDs are fully
programmable to serve any system function desired.They
can control audio speaker circuits, notification appliance
circuits, addressable relay outputs, fire fighter phone control circuits, or any other special application that might be
required.
Multiple INCCs can be configured into the E3 Series
Broadband network to serve as a completely independent
command center to operate for the local area or to operate
as remote command centers mimicking, in part or in
whole, the function of a main command center.
INX (Intelligent Network Transponder)
The Intelligent Network Transponder (INX) acts as
a network audio transponder for the E3 Series Broadband
Network. The INX transponder serves as the point of distribution for the system’s audio and fire fighter telephone circuits and occupies a single node on the E3 Series
Broadband network.
A typical INX assembly consists of the following components:
• ILI-MB-E3/ILI95-MB-E3 • ILI-S-E3/ILI95-S-E3
• ANX
• PM-9/PM-9G power supply
• INI-VGX Module
• Up to four AM-50 Series
amplifiers
The INX transponder occupies a single address on the
network and provides termination points for the network
connection using either a pair of unshielded twisted-pair
wire or fiber-optic cable.
The INX transponder receives its power from a PM-9/PM9G, 9 ampere, filtered, switching power supply providing
24 VDC nominal operating voltage. The PM-9/PM-9G has
an integral standby battery charger capable of recharging
up to 55 A/H batteries. The E3BB-BB-BC/INX cabinet can
house up to 18 A/H sized batteries.
INI-VGX (Intelligent Network Interface-Voice Gateway)
The INI-VGX uses advanced Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) technology for audio compression and filtering
allowing the E3 Series Broadband to produce the clearest
audio possible while conserving network bandwidth for
instantaneous response. Background noise is automatically filtered during voice paging and fire fighter communications increasing audibility and eliminating the need for
push-to-talk devices.
The INI-VGX can accommodate up to 16 different messages with a total combined duration of three minutes.
Each message can be field installed via a laptop computer
and can be in the form of a voice message or an evacuation tone.
The INI-VGX also provides a fire fighter phone riser and an
addressable signaling line circuit connecting to multiple
phone jacks or warden stations through as many as 16
AOM-TELF modules. In addition, the INI-VGX SLC can
support up to 32 speaker circuits using the AOM-2SF for
single channel applications.
AM-50 Series Amplifiers
The INX or INX CAB-B cabinet can contain up to four AM50 Series amplifiers that produce 50 watts of power @
either 25 VRMS or 70.7 VRMS audio output. Each amplifier
includes two separate speaker circuits that can be wired
Style Y (Class B) or Style Z (Class A). In addition, each
amplifier can produce its own tone or message independently of other system amplifiers. Thus, an INX transponder
can
produce
three
audio
channels
simultaneously. Each INX transponder can support up to
four AM-50 Series amplifiers operating as main amplifiers
with one AM-50 Series amplifier used as a fail-safe backup
amplifier.
