E3 Series®
Broadband System
Intelligent, Networked, Multi-Channel Fire Alarm Control
and Emergency Voice Evacuation System
Description
The Gamewell-FCI, E3 Series® Broadband System
includes the NetSOLO® Broadband System. Like the Net-
SOLO Broadband System, the E3 Series Broadband is of
modular design and allows a wide range of configurations
from two basic sub-assemblies. These sub-assemblies
form an integrated, distributed fire alarm system that
includes audio evacuation and fire command capability.
The network communication transmits all fire alarm, audio
evacuation, voice paging, and fire fighter communications.
This System can be used as a component of the following
E3 Series Systems:
•
•
E3 Series Broadband Voice Evacuation System
E3 Series Combined Fire and Mass Notification System
The E3 Series Broadband is a revolutionary advance in
fire detection and emergency voice evacuation system
design. E3 Series Broadband employs proven technology
and expands it to accomplish emergency multi-channel
voice evacuation, two-way fire fighter communications,
and building control applications, all over a single pair of
wires or fiber-optic cable.

Features
•
•
•
•
IBC Seismic Certified.
Listed under UL® Standard 864, 9th Edition.
Listed under UL Standard UL2572 for Mass Notification.
UL Listed for smoke control (dedicated and
non-dedicated) when properly configured.
FM/UL Listed for Pre-action/Deluge use.
It is a true peer-to-peer, token ring passing, networked sys-
tem capable of supporting up to 64 individual nodes. In
addition, the Addressable Node Expander (ANX) board
expands the network to 122 nodes. All system status, con-
trol-by-event sequences, audio voice paging, and fire
fighter telephone signals are sent between nodes over a
single pair of wires or fiber-optic cable.
•
•
All communication signals and control-by-event
sequences over a single pair of twisted, unshielded
wires or fiber-optic cable.
Distributed architecture, including Style 7 wiring
configurations, allow system components to continue
normal operation with no loss of function during single
line fault conditions.
Integrates INX transponders and INCC command cen-
ters to create a complete audio evacuation system with
up to 122 nodes.
•
•
Each E3 Series Broadband node can be spaced along the
network a maximum distance of 3,000 feet (914.4 m) over
an unshielded, twisted-pair of wires or fiber-optic cable
with up to 8dB loss. Built-in isolation at each node permits
Style 4, 6, and 7 network configurations.
•
•
•
Redundant command centers with microphone and fire
fighter’s handset are easily configured by adding INCCs.
Uses state-of-the-art digital signal processor (DSP)
technology for efficient audio compression and filtering.
Provides up to 150 watts of audio power from 3 AM-50
Series amplifiers with an additional 50 watts of standby
power in each Intelligent Network Transponder (INX).
The E3 Series Broadband is simple to configure for any
project requirement. A complete E3 Series Broadband
application can be assembled from the following types of
nodes; the ILI-E3/ILI95-E3 Series, ANX, the INCC Com-
mand Center, and the INX Transponder.
The E3 Series Broadband System is capable of the most
sophisticated sequences of operations.
