Fire, security, and access control, no matter what the combination, EST3 provides a total life safety system. With fire alarm providing the backbone, EST3 meets all legislated requirements – namely, that life safety takes precedence among the activities orchestrated by the control panel. Only a truly synergistic system design can
assure that a high volume card access activity will not affect the priority and network response speed of fire reporting mandated by codes and standards.

The benefits of this method are many. Security and card access functions now benefit from the survivability and reliability mandated by the fire codes and life safety standards. Costs will be reduced because system resources are shared. Installation of a single
integrated system is vastly more efficient than installing multiple interconnected systems. There is no finger pointing, patchwork protocols or gateways that combine one system with another. Just the simple elegance of a single system unencumbered by needless
redundancy. EST3 achieves true system synergy with single-system responsibility.
