Introduction
Use the E3 (Elemec3) Console application to configure the PAGA (Public Address/General Alarm)
system operating parameters on easy-to-use graphical screens. Transfer the resulting configuration to the
E3 controller or IP controller using the E3 Portal application.
The E3 controller resides in the system’s central cabinet and controls all system functionality such as
paging and alarm events, audio routing, event prioritization, hardware supervision, and status reporting.
A Word of Caution… Changing an E3 system’s configuration is not a trivial matter, particularly
in the case of systems used for emergency notification. Critical operating features could fail due to
incorrect programming, resulting in a potentially life-threatening situation.
Usage of the E3 Console and E3 Portal applications should be strictly limited to individuals who are
factory trained and certified on using the software and know the ramifications of uploading configuration
files to the E3 controller.
The Programming Process
The E3 controller stores the system’s operating software and the system configuration file. The
configuration file defines the physical and operational characteristics of the system. During system
startup, the E3 controller loads and executes the operating software, reads the configuration file, and sets
the system’s operation to match the defined settings.
Configure and monitor an Elemec3 system’s operating environment using the E3 Console and E3 Portal
applications. Use the E3 Console application to create and modify a site’s configuration files by selecting
and setting values for each system component/parameter. Graphical representations of system
components, along with data entry forms for parameters, facilitate recording settings to create an E3
system configuration file. Save the information in the E3 Console as a system configuration file.
Upload (transfer) the configuration file from the administration PC to the E3 controller using the E3
Portal application. Refer to the E3 Portal application manual, 42004-485, for information on its usage
(see the Reference Documentation section). The E3 Portal can also download (retrieve) configuration
files from the controller for viewing and editing using the E3 Console application.
