EST iO64 - User Manual

The EST iO64 Intelligent Life Safety System is a sophisticated fire alarm control panel designed for small to mid-sized applications. It combines high-end intelligent processing with a user-friendly interface, offering advanced features for both building owners and contractors.

Function Description

The iO64 system provides comprehensive life safety management, including intelligent detection, electronic addressing, automatic device mapping, and optional Ethernet connectivity. It supports a single Class B analog device loop for up to 64 intelligent devices and two Class B Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs). Optional Class A device wiring is available with an SA-CLA module.

The system's front panel features a large backlit 80-character LCD display that shows system status, event details, and programming prompts. Large tactile control buttons and bright multi-color LEDs provide at-a-glance status indication and easy operation, even in low light conditions. Two fully-programmable front panel switch/LED combinations, with slide-in labels, offer additional flexibility for custom applications.

The iO64 is particularly well-suited for retrofit applications as all connections are made over standard wiring, eliminating the need for shielded cable and allowing the use of existing wiring to upgrade legacy control panels.

Key Features:

Intelligent Detection: Supports Signature Series modules and detectors, including multisensor detectors for reliable suppression.
Electronic Addressing and Automatic Device Mapping: Simplifies installation and ensures devices are correctly located on the system.
NACs: Two Class B NACs are standard, configurable for continuous, temporal, synchronized, latching, and coded output. Optional Class A wiring is available.
Relays: Includes Form C for Alarm and Trouble, and Form A for Supervisory relays.
Power Outputs: Two auxiliary power outputs for ancillary equipment like remote annunciators and two-wire smoke detectors.
Annunciator Loop: Supports up to eight serially driven and supervised remote annunciators (LCD, LED-only, and graphic interface).
Synchronization: Supports Genesis horn silence over two wires and UL 1971-compliant strobe synchronization.
Ethernet Connectivity (Optional): An optional Ethernet port (SA-ETH) allows for diagnostics, programming, and various system reports, as well as remote upload/download capabilities.
Programmable Switches: Two programmable switches with LEDs and custom labeling.
Display: 4 x 20 character backlit LCD display.
Earthquake Hardening (Optional): Seismic Importance Factor 1.5.

Operation Features:

The front panel controls include:

System Reset: Initiates a system reset.
ACK/Panel Silence: Silences the panel and remote annunciators during active trouble, supervisory, or alarm events, and acknowledges new event activations.
Signal Silence: Silences active notification appliances; pressing it a second time turns NACs back on.
Drill: Initiates a drill confirmation; pressing it a second time turns off the drill function.
Remote Disconnect: Disables or enables the dialer; if set to modem only, disables or enables the common alarm relay.
Navigation Arrows (Left, Right, Up, Down): Used for cursor movement, toggling programming selections, advancing through events, and navigating menus.
Enter: Displays selected event details, retrieves sub-menus, jumps to the Save function, and enters data.
Cancel: Exits detailed information displays, current menu levels, or clears current entries.
Menu: Enters or exits menu mode.
Space: Enters a space character.
Alphanumeric Keypad: Enters numbers or secondary values.
Programmable Buttons: Can be programmed to control outputs, disable devices, or unlatch system outputs.
