EST4: The Future of Fire Safety with BEC

PRIORITY: RELIABILITY  

You want all-around reliability when it comes to fire and life safety. That’s why the EST4 intelligent panel has provided decades of performance, ease of service, and simplicity of integration into any building’s current infrastructure. You can be assured that EST4 will protect your property on every front with advanced cyber threat defenses. 

  • Continuous operation—during power failures, too—with strong battery backup systems. 
  • Experienced performance in diverse, demanding environments and industries. 

BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE, FORWARD-THINKING  

The EST4 system from Edwards ensures that life safety communications are easy to maintain, safe from cyber-attacks, and adaptable to a diversity of facilities.  

  • System flexibility makes it easy to add capacity as your needs increase. 
  • Integration with other building management systems for integrated safety and facility operation efficiency. 

Suitable for new and retrofit projects equally.  

Suitable with a variety of wiring configurations.  

75% less cabling automatically leads to labor and material savings. 

Faster installation times mean you can complete your projects more quickly. 

FIRE SAFETY FOR THE FUTURE   

CYBERSECURITY   

The EST4 life safety system forms the basis for the protection of the internal fire network from potential external cyber-attacks based on proxy firewalls. The EST4 platform’s proxy firewall uses encryption and Advanced Encryption Standard protocols. 

  • Frequent firmware updates guarantee the system’s defense against the newest online threats. 
  • The implementation of multi-layered security measures guarantees the protection of sensitive data against unauthorized access and strictly follows all regulatory requirements. 

NETWORKING   

The EST4 platform achieves highly improved networking capabilities, which make integration into a great variety of mid-to-large applications much easier, based on a TCP/IPv6 network. Even in EST4’s self-configuring network, switching from copper to fiber is possible without any system outages.  

  • Increased data speed and reliability over extended distances 
  • Support for a vast array of network topologies, ensuring adaptability to any building layout 

FORWARD MIGRATION   

Upgrade your legacy Edwards systems—including EST3, EST2, and RC3—with a fast and easy migration to more cost-effective Edwards innovations. Beyond utilizing your existing reusable network cabling in place, the EST4 platform also enables all existing Signature Series devices, modules, and service tools, plus Genesis notification appliances.  

  • Simplified upgrade path that minimizes downtime and disruption 
  • Future-proof your investment in a system designed to evolve with changing technology 

AUDIO  

Using the highest level of fidelity in its audio messaging, EST4 ensures that the right people in 200 channels hear the appropriate messages at the right time, so that responders can convey information concisely and, in turn, save precious time and lives. 

  • Audio clarity and intelligibility that at least meets or exceeds industry standards for emergency communication. 
  • It offers custom messaging to different areas within a facility due to the flexible zone configurations.
