Page 57: Silencing The Panel Buzzer
Menu. Silencing the panel buzzer The control panel EST3X sounds the panel buzzer when an event message is posted into one of the event message queues. Pressing the Panel Silence button or acknowledging the event message silences the buzzer. The panel buzzer automatically re-sounds when a new event message is posted or when the panel trouble resound timer expires (typically 24 hours).
Page 58: Acknowledging Events
Pressing the Acknowledge button places a check mark and the word “Acknowledged” to the right of the event. The LED stops flashing and the panel silences after all events have been acknowledged. To acknowledge an event: 1. Press the Acknowledge button. EST3X Technical Reference Manual...

Page 66: Disabling And Enabling Devices
Disabling and enabling devices Devices include input and output circuits, detectors, and modules. Disabling a device isolates it from the system. While the device is disabled, the EST3X control panel logs the status change signals, but is prevented from processing the signals until the device is enabled.
Page 67: Disabling And Enabling Option Cards
Option cards can include hardware layer cards and modules, and operator layer control-display modules. Disabling a card isolates it from the system. While the card is disabled, the EST3X control panel logs the status change signals, but is prevented from processing the signals until the card is enabled.
Page 68: Disabling And Enabling Logic Groups
Disabling a group isolates it from the system. While the group is disabled, the EST3X control panel is prevented from processing status change signals from every device in the group until the device is enabled. For example in a Zone group, the control panel does not activate an alarm event when you activate a disabled detector, but it will after the detector is enabled.

Panel restart problems The EST3X system is designed to conduct a startup interrogation of the system’s database integrity and its configured hardware. When a new CPU database is downloaded to a panel, the panel restarts and validates the database. If a database error is detected, the panel will attempt to restart, and in some cases continually restart.

NAC source values For either method, you will need some fixed or calculated operating values for your specific NAC circuit source. An EST3X control panel has three possible sources. These are listed in Table 76 along with their fixed values.
Page 253 [1] The PS10-4B has an onboard boost circuit to keep battery voltage at a required value. If the battery voltage drops below the required value, the boost circuit activates. [2] These values only apply when the card is used in an EST3X control panel. The maximum voltage is the highest voltage measured at the NAC terminals.
Page 254: Worksheet Method
[2] This voltage drop is valid for regulated notification appliances only. For special application appliances, see “Equation method,” later in this topic. [3] Use the manufacturer’s published wire resistance expressed in ohms per foot. For typical values, see Table 77 on page 245. EST3X Technical Reference Manual...
