General description
This topic provides a general description of the system control panel, hardware
capabilities, option cards, panel components, accessories, and remote
annunciator panels.
System overview
The EST3X fire alarm control panel (FACP) can operate as a stand-alone control
panel or in an 8-node peer-to-peer Class B or Class A EST3X life safety network.
Its flexibility allows integration with a 64-node EST3 life safety network via a
3X-NET RS-485 network option card or 3X-FIB fiber network option card.

A standard EST3X control panel consists of a cabinet backbox and door, a
PS10-4B Power Supply Card, and an SFS1-ELEC Chassis Electronics
Assembly. See Figure 2 on page 7 for an exploded view of the cabinet.
The control panel can be mounted directly on the finished wall surface (surface
mount) or partially recessed in a wall cavity (semiflush mount). Semiflush
mounted cabinets require the TRIM6 Trim Kit that is ordered separately.
You can add accessories to your life safety system that can expand its
functionality. See “Panel components” on page 10 for a list of option cards and
accessories.
