3-AADC1 Addressable Analog Driver Controller and IRC-3 
When upgrading an IRC-3 system to EST3, the 3-AADC1 
Addressable Analog Driver Controller module lets you use 
existing IRC-3 system segments without rework. 
The 3-AADC1 can be connected to an existing IRC-3 Remote 
Zone Interface Module (RZB(V/N)12-6/3) or a Universal Input 
Output Module (UIO-12). 
The 3-AADC1 Addressable Analog Driver Controller module 
provides one Class A or Class B loop. This loop becomes the 
data communication line for the existing IRC-3 system. 
The 3-AADC1 includes a line interface module (LIM) card. You 
can also use the LIM card from an existing 3-AADC module by 
installing it on a 3-AADC1-MB. The MB version is a local rail 
module without a LIM card. 
The audio features of the EST3 system can be connected to the 
audio riser channels of the RZB module, or existing audio 
equipment can be left in place. 
Similarly, the EST3 system power supplies can provide 24 Vdc 
power to the RZB or UIO cards, or existing power supplies can 
be left in place.
