S3 Series
Control Panel
Description
Small Addressable
Fire Alarm Control Panel
The Gamewell-FCI, S3 Series Intelligent Fire Alarm Control
Panel provides the latest innovative high-end processing
power. The S3 Series is a digital, microprocessor-based
system that offers a simple, intuitive solution for the small
to mid-sized fire alarm applications.
In standalone or network configurations, the S3 Series
complies with most fire alarm application requirements. It
supports either of the following types of networks.
•
•
Up to 64 nodes using the 7100 Series panel.
Up to 122 nodes using the S3 Series or E3 Series®
panels.
Use either twisted-pair wire or fiber-optic to network panels
at a high-speed 625K baud ARCNET network bus.
With flexible Boolean logic, intelligent detection, and Ether-
net connectivity, this system provides power and versatility
that surpasses comparable, small addressable fire alarm
systems.
S3 Series
Features
The basic S3 Series consists of an SLP (Smart Loop
Panel) main board, LCD-SLP touchscreen display, SLC
loop personality modules, and 7 amp power supply. The
SLP provides either one or two SLC loops in Class A or B
configuration that supports either of the following protocols:
•
•
•
Listed per ANSI/UL® Standard 864 9th Edition.
IBC Seismic Certified.
Allows one SLC loop (expandable to two loops) that
supports either System Sensor or Apollo devices in
Class A or Class B (Style 4, 6 or 7).
System Sensor supports up to 318 intelligent
devices and each SLC loop supports the following.
- up to 159 detectors.
•
Up to 318 devices per loop using the System Sensor®
protocol. If you add a second loop module, it increases
the maximum device count to 636 devices.
•
•
- up to 159 modules (expandable to 636 maximum
per panel).
•
Up to 126 devices per loop using the Apollo protocol. If
you add a second loop module, it increases the maxi-
mum device count to 252 devices.
Apollo supports up to 126 intelligent detectors and
modules per SLC. (Expandable to 252 maximum per
panel).
Four Class B or two Class A NACs can be wired and syn-
chronized using the System Sensor, Cooper-Wheelock, or
Gentex strobes. To retrofit the SLP on the existing audible/
visual appliances, the on-board Electronic EOL (EEOL)
automatically adjusts to the EOL resistor in the field.
•
•
Includes a high resolution (4.3”) (10.92 cm) color touch-
screen display.
Supports a network system of up to 122 nodes
(includes E3 Series® panels) or up to 64 nodes
(includes 7100 Series).
•
•
Provides 7.0 amp power supply (120VAC or 240VAC).
Includes four Class B or two Class A built-in Notification
Appliance Circuits (NAC). Provides selectable System
Sensor, Cooper-Wheelock, or Gentex strobe synchroni-
zation.
Supports up to 32 serial annunciators (LCD, LED-only,
LED Switch).
A 4.3" (10.92 cm) color touchscreen display screen shows
the following:
•
•
•
•
Events on the system
Status of analog addressable devices
Complete diagnostic fault codes/messages
Five programmable function buttons with LED status for
accessibility to the following functions:
•
- Disable/Enable
- Bypass Output
- Lamp Test
- Trouble Acknowledge
- Alarm Acknowledge
- Custom-defined
