SIGNATURE SERIES LIFE SAFETY DEVICES. Analog Multi-sensor Detectors. Predicting when a fire will strike is virtually impossible. Attempting to guess what kind of fire it will be is out of the question. But that s precisely what you EST Signature Series detectors contain onboard microprocessors which constantly collect data on several different environmental parameters at the same time.

But not all panel. And since alarm fires produce it. Heat detectors, on the other hand, spot temperature changes. But they aren t always an indicator of decisions are made at the detector, processing power is reserved at the control panel for other critical functions. a life-threatening event. The fact is, there are many different types of fires. And no single physical measuring principle that can reliably detect them all. That s why EST has perfected multi-sensor detector technology. Evacuate Early. But Only If You Need To. In human terms, these intelligent devices see, smell and feel any changes in the environment. Beyond these three critical senses, they also ionization sensor SCALE WEIGHT photoelectric sensor thermal sensor SCALE WEIGHT alarm algorithm combined sensor output SCALE WEIGHT time The Signature Series 4D Detector combines rate-of-rise temperature, ionization and photoelectric sensors in one, plus the critical dimension of time.

What s more, each multisensor detector has the sense to distinguish between a harmless puff of plaster dust and a potentially disastrous smoldering cotton cushion. So not only do Signature Series devices do a better job of detecting fires early and protecting lives, they virtually eliminate false alarms and costly downtime. Self-Diagnosis Insures Peak Level Performance. Signature detectors are always gathering information concerning the state of their sensors and comparing results over time. As the environment changes, the on-board microprocessor makes just the right corrections and adjustments to the detector, avoiding false alarms. When it s time for cleaning, the detector automatically sends a message to the control panel. Perhaps that s why our detectors have been singled out by Underwriters Laboratory as not requiring calibration sensitivity testing in order to comply with NFPA72. installer-selected personality code. This is downloaded to the module from the Signature Loop Controller during system configuration. No Special Wiring Required! Because both the Detectors and Modules are intelligent devices, all decisions are made at the device by their on-board microprocessor. This allows lower communication speed, but very fast control panel response. And with less sensitivity to line noise and loop wiring properties, twisted or shielded wire is not required. In fact, in retrofit installations, Signature Series can be installed on existing wiring. This makes Signature Series the most cost effective solutions for both new and retrofit applications. Intelligent I/O Modules Signature Series input/output modules are extremely flexible, powerful devices that gather information from connected devices and convert this data into digital signals. The job function of each module is determined by its
Signature Series input/output modules feature automatic device mapping and electronic addressing. Details about the module are permanently stored in its non-volatile memory, and the module automatically updates historic information for a wide variety of reports. All Signature Series modules feature diagnostic LEDs. All modules are available in models that feature two mounting options: standard mount and the new M Series that plug in. For maximum flexibility, both SIGA Series and M Series modules feature multiple user-set personality codes that define the module s behavior. The eight currently available offer a choice of more than 20 different virtual modules. That means less stocking, more flexible installations, and lower overall costs. CONTROL RELAY MODULE - offers a Form C dry relay contact used to control external appliances such as door closers, fans, dampers, etc. SINGLE OR DUAL INPUT MODULE - four virtual modules in one, connecting a choice of one or two Class B normally-open Alarm, Supervisory or Monitor-type dry contact Initiating Device Circuits. SIGNAL MODULE - delivers audible, visible and telephone power circuits, complete with its own on-board Telephone Ring Tone Generator. UNIVERSAL CLASS A/B MODULE - offers a choice of 14 different Class A or B circuit types from two-wire smoke, to water flow alarm. New SIGA-UIOs Make Installation A Snap, Troubleshooting A Breeze. Now all the function, intelligence and flexibility of the Signature Series I/O modules come in an ultra-compact design that s easy to install, simple to configure and a no-brainer to troubleshoot: new plug-in M series. Packed into every module are features like electronic addressing and automatic device mapping, plus module-level intelligence that cuts response time dramatically. What s more, the M Series modules are so quick and easy to install, you can save up to 75% in wiring time! DUAL SIGNAL MODULE - packing into its new compact design a Class B audible/visible signal from one of two riser inputs. POLARITY REVERSAL RELAY MODULE - tailor-made for the SIGA-AB4 Sounder Base, this module is used to activate multiple bases on a single 24Vdc riser. DIGITAL MESSAGE MODULE - provides custom recorded voice messaging. Each module can store 2-30 second messages. Plug-in modules mount to either two- or six-module SIGA-UIO motherboards. More than one module can share a single riser without any need for extra wiring. Motherboards can accommodate individual risers for each on-board module, or shared risers in any combination with their plug-in modules. All wiring connections are made to terminal blocks on the motherboard.
