Introduction
EST3 System Operation Manual 1.13
Figure 1-3 shows five guard patrol routes consisting of five
stations. The system designer has assigned a minimum and
maximum time allowance for the guard to go between any two
guard stations. If the guard arrives too early, too late or at the
wrong station, an active guard patrol event is generated.
Starting a tour
There are three ways to start a guard patrol tour:
• Activate the first guard patrol station on the route
• Enable the Guard Patrol group from the 3-LCD module
• Press a control/display panel button programmed to turn on
the Guard Patrol group
Note: A guard patrol station designated as the first station in one
guard patrol route can not be the first station in another route.
Ending a tour
A guard patrol tour is automatically ended when all stations on
the route have been successfully operated within the allowable
time period and in the proper sequence.
Should a tour end with an active guard patrol response, the
system must be reset to clear the guard patrol response.
Press the Details button to reveal the stations reporting in.
Clearing a guard patrol alarm
When a guard patrol alarm is generated, you must restore the
guard patrol route to clear the alarm. The steps are detailed later
in this manual.
Check-in groups
Check-in groups are used to monitor occupants in nursing care
facilities. Occupants must check in during their assigned check-
in period to signal that they are well. Failure to check in alerts an
attendant that something is wrong.
Check-in groups provide two indications when something is
wrong. The check-in group sends a Check-In Active message to
the 3-LCD display for each member of the group that fails to
check in on time. The check-in group sends an Emergency
Active message when the following happens:
• Any member of the group activates their check-in device any
time other than the check-in period
• Any member of the group activates their check-in device a
second time during the check-in period
