Information About 3-ASU
The 3-ASU is an Edwards EST3 audio source unit engineered for integration into EST3 fire alarm and emergency communication systems. It provides eight digital audio channels for distributing paging and pre-recorded messages across networked panels with 3-ZA amplifiers. Audio data can be transmitted using twisted copper wiring or fiber optics, offering flexibility and enhanced noise immunity. Supporting Mass Notification/Emergency Communication (MNEC) applications, the 3-ASU complies with UL 2572 and can be equipped with optional features such as fire phone LCD display and OSHPD seismic pre-approval.
Key Features:
- Eight Digital Channels: Provides multiple audio sources for paging, tones, and pre-recorded messages.
- Flexible Transmission: Sends high-quality audio over twisted pair wiring or single fiber optic filament.
- Mass Notification Ready: UL 2572 listed for MNEC applications as CCS, ACU, or LOC.
- Live and Pre-Recorded Audio: Supports real-time paging alongside stored message playback.
- Auxiliary Audio Inputs: Interfaces with external paging systems, telephone networks, and campus-wide systems.
- User Indicators: Includes VU meter display and Ready-to-Page LED for clear operational feedback.
- Noise-Immune Transmission: Digital format reduces interference for clear, reliable communication.
- Scalable Design: Seamlessly integrates with EST3 panels and amplifiers for system-wide audio distribution.
- Optional Enhancements: Supports LCD fire phone call display and earthquake-hardened configurations.
- End-to-End Solution: Designed for life safety and emergency communication, including sleeping areas with low-frequency signaling.
The 3-ASU delivers the reliability and precision required for large-scale fire alarm and emergency communication systems in commercial, institutional, and high-occupancy environments.
