4.2  EST3 Installation and Service Manual 
Equipment required 
The EST3 system requires one 3-ZA20 amplifier for each audio 
channel to be operated simultaneously. The output of each 
amplifier is reduced from 25 Vrms to the appropriate input level 
(1 Vrms) using the 3-ATPINT interface, and then fed into the 
input of the banked amplifiers. 
The wiring between the output of each 3-ZA20 and its associated 
amplifier bank input should be twisted, shielded pair, and can be 
configured for Class A or Class B integrity monitoring. 
The output of the banked amplifiers (the audio riser) is directed 
to the appropriate areas using Signature Series modules. The 
SIGA-CC1 module, Figure 4-16, is used for single channel 
systems and the SIGA-CC2 module, Figure 4-17, is used for two 
channel systems. 
EST3 audio system programming requires that the Signature 
modules controlling the audio signals be programmed in addition 
to the programming required for the 3-ZAxx amplifier(s) 
supplying the audio signal. 
Note: Remember to follow power-limited or nonpower-limited 
wiring practices as determined by the amplifier providing the 
audio signal.
