Product Description P/N: 3-AADC1
Description
The Edwards 3-AADC1 (part number 3-AADC1) is an addressable analog circuit module for EST3 systems, providing connectivity for up to 99 sensors and 99 modules on a single loop. It supports Class A (Style 7) or Class B (Style 4) wiring and includes ground fault detection at the loop level. The 3-AADC1 is discontinued by the manufacturer but remains a key replacement option for legacy EST3 installations.

Information About 3-AADC1
The 3-AADC1 is a microprocessor-based module that installs in one local rail module (LRM) space within EST3 chassis assemblies. Designed as a direct replacement for the 3-AADC, it offers 100% backward compatibility with existing systems. The unit continuously monitors analog device outputs, reporting their status to the system CPU, while internal diagnostics aid in troubleshooting. With removable plug-in connectors, nonvolatile memory, and System Definition Utility programming, the 3-AADC1 simplifies installation, programming, and long-term maintenance of EST3 fire alarm systems.
Key Features:
- Addressable Analog Circuit Module: Provides supervised communication with intelligent devices.
- Device Capacity: Supports up to 99 analog sensors and 99 input/control modules per circuit.
- Wiring Options: Compatible with Class A (Style 7) and Class B (Style 4) wiring topologies.
- Ground Fault Detection: Identifies ground faults by loop for faster troubleshooting.
- Backward Compatibility: Fully compatible with legacy 3-AADC systems.
- Nonvolatile Memory: Stores operating system software and data files securely.
- PC Programmable: Configurable with System Definition Utility for device address, type, sensitivity, and verification.
- Internal Diagnostics: Built-in test functions to support maintenance and fault isolation.
- Removable Terminals: Plug-in connectors simplify installation and replacement without tools.
- Supports UIM Modules: Provides hinged panel space for optional Control Display Modules.
The 3-AADC1 delivers the reliability and supervision required for managing addressable loops in EST3 fire and security systems.
