E3 Series: Typical Large Building Layout
The E3 Series system offers advanced features for fire safety and communication in large buildings.
System Architecture and Capabilities
The system's architecture is based on a simple, cost-effective local area network with broadband capability, enabling faster and more reliable communication than traditional fire alarm systems.
- Boolean logic including AND, OR, NOT, and time functions.
- Single pair of wire/fiber between nodes, including command centers.
- 256 fully programmable switches per command center.
- Network Control for Live Voice Paging, Multichannel Audio, and Firefighter Phone.
- Flexible cabinet configurations.
- 625K Baud Style 4 or Style 7 riser.
- 80 character remote annunciator.
- History log up to 4,100 events.
- High-speed 32-bit RISC processor.
Diagram Description: A network diagram illustrates the E3 Series layout. It shows connections from transponders and command centers to various devices like manual pull stations, speakers, smoke sensors, and firefighter phones. It highlights features like fast configuration download, optional NGA touch screen annunciators, multiple command centers, and modular construction.
Communication is Key
The E3 Series enhances system and human communication. It delivers clear, intelligible instructions, automated or live, to specific areas during emergencies.

The system's communication power extends beyond fire emergencies to situations requiring organized direction, such as severe weather, security events, or chemical spills.
Performance and Protection
The E3 Series is designed to meet or exceed the latest NFPA and UL standards, offering a fresh approach to fire safety by transforming the traditional fire panel into an expandable emergency evacuation system.

The Power of Two: Simplicity and Reliability
The E3 Series minimizes connections by using two wires or fiber optic cables for all digital messaging, spoken warnings, instructions, and firefighter telephone communications, a Gamewell-FCI exclusive.
True peer-to-peer data exchange ensures independent operation of system segments, enhancing survivability during crisis events. This design increases occupant safety and reduces property loss.
The unique "simplicity of two" design facilitates easier, more flexible, and less costly configuration, installation, and maintenance.

Building Block Design for Any Sized Installation
The E3 Series from Gamewell-FCI is a sophisticated, customizable, and cost-effective fire safety system, representing the future of fire alarm control, assisted voice evacuation, and mass notification.
Its "building block" approach allows for easy configuration into a distributed network with advanced voice capability, enhanced by broadband technology for system integration over just two wires or fiber optic cables.
This modular design simplifies installation in new construction or renovations, reduces maintenance, and provides a "right-sized" solution for any facility. System expansion, upgrades, and changes are more efficient and less costly compared to traditional systems.
With distributed communication control, the E3 Series is highly survivable in catastrophic events.
Diagram Description: A visual shows hands reviewing architectural blueprints, symbolizing the system's adaptability to various building designs and renovation projects. This reinforces the concept of a "building block design" tailored to specific installation needs.
The E3 Series offers the latest, most intelligent, survivable, and cost-effective fire alarm and voice evacuation solution, providing the best value in fire safety technology throughout the building's life.
