E-FSA

Intelligent Fire Alarm Systems for Small Buildings

With control panels, devices, and accessories all engineered to work in unison, Edwards products provide reliable performance and the features you need for successful installation and worry-free operation.

Best of all, E-FSA leaves you in control – not hemmed in by a limited product line. In fact, the extensive range of Edwards fire alarm products gives you the freedom to tailor each system to the particular needs of the building – and the budget of the building owner – while a robust feature set leaves plenty of room for upgrades, expansions, and retrofits long into the future.

of wiring per data loop!

EDWARDS

Trusted fire alarm solutions since 1872.

This trust, earned over many decades, is demonstrated today by the fact that Edwards fire alarm technology continues to be the number one choice to protect some of the world's most impressive structures – from Egypt's Bibliotheca Alexandrina Museum, to the modern-day sphinx at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas.

Now, that same rock-solid reliability built into every Edwards fire alarm system is available for small to mid-size buildings. The new E-FSA analog fire alarm system, available from Edwards Signaling, means fire alarm systems just got a whole lot smarter, more responsive, and easier to install & maintain than ever before.

From distributed intelligence and independent alarm processing that allows the use of existing wiring, to wire runs of up to 20,000 feet per device loop, and ground fault detection by device, E-FSA represents a

whole new generation of small building solutions.

This next generation fire panel offers the tremendous power and flexibility of remote diagnostics via IP Ethernet; the reliability of intelligent multi-sensor detectors with environmental compensation; and, the architec-

turally pleasing design of our low profile Genesis line of signals.

But these industry-leading innovations tell only a small fraction of the story. When you choose E-FSA, not only do you get outstanding value from an easy to install and simple to program fire alarm panel; you'll benefit from a whole family of "smart" control, detection, and notification appliances finely tuned to work together as one– "smart devices" engineered and tested to function as a single cohesive system. Built on a proven reputation and legacy of trust, and meeting the needs of the future--- Edwards is changing the face of small building fire detection.

Edwards E-FSA: a cohesive family designed to work in concert to deliver the optimum level of performance for every application.

Get Smart.

Now your small to mid-sized installations can also benefit from the same high-end technology that's protecting some of the world's most important structures.

Smoke and Heat Detectors

Data Sheet S85001-0592

E-FSA analog addressable detectors feature comprehensive self-diagnostic capability. E-PD and E-PHD optical detectors continuously adjust their sensitivity to compensate for changes in the environment such as the presence of dirt, temperature, and humidity. The detectors issue a dirty sensor warning when they reach their preset limit. And, with the world's only replaceable optical chamber, no other detector is as simple or as easy to service.

Input-Output Modules

Data Sheet S85001-0611

Designed expressly for small buildings, E-FSA modules are addressable devices that are uniquely identified on the system by means of familiar rotary switches. Unique to E-FSA modules is ground fault detection so precise that it actually pinpoints the specific module where the wiring problem has occurred, saving hours of troubleshooting and wire tracing.

E-IDC1A Class A Single Input Module connects a normally open, alarm, supervisory, or
monitor type dry contact initiating device circuit to the E-FSA control panel.
E-IDC1B Single Input Mini Module connects a normally open, alarm, supervisory, or
monitor type dry contact Class B initiating device circuit to the E-FSA control
panel.
E-2WIRE Class A-B Two-Wire Module acts as an interface between conventional two
wire smoke detectors and E-FSA analog addressable control panels.
E-IDC2B Dual Input Module Connects two normally open, alarm, supervisory, or monitor
type dry contact initiating device circuits to the E-FSA control panel.
E-IDCWS Dual Input Waterflow-Supervisory Module connects normally open Class B wa
terflow alarm and supervisory initiating device circuits to the E-FSA control panel.
E-NAC NAC Module connects a supervised output circuit to a signal riser.
E-RLY Contact Relay Module provides one Form C dry relay contact and can be
configured to provide polarity reversal of its output. Double-gang box mount.
E-ISO SLC Fault Isolator Module Protects a Class A SLC from total collapse due to
wire-to-wire short circuits. Double-gang box mount.

Duct Detector

Data Sheet S85001-0592

Do more with less.

Edwards brings on-demand signaling to every application with an unparalleled range of field-configurable options like horns and chimes with high/low dB output settings, and strobes with selectable candela output and flash rate – options that put you in the driver's seat when time is short, budgets are slim, and manpower is at a premium.

Only E-FSA intelligent analog control panels work with exclusive Edwards signaling technology that delivers independent horn control over just a single pair of wires. This valuable feature makes it possible to silence horns while the strobes remain active.

Genesis Wall Signals

Genesis Ceiling Signals

Data Sheet S85001-0559

Low-profile ceiling signals are rated for wall or ceiling mount applications!

Trim Plates

Data Sheet S85001-0573

Optional trim plates for wall signals are ideal for covering openings left behind during

retrofits; red or white models are available with or without "FIRE" marking.

E-FSA panels come standard with the protocol necessary for connecting Edwards Genesis series strobes to meet stringent UL 1971 synchronization requirements – all without external synch modules!

Meet the family.

E-FSA represents a complete and comprehensive family of system controls and components, all finely tuned to work in concert with one another. Tested and designed to the exacting standards of Edwards quality control, these system components will reduce installation costs, extend application flexibility and provide years of trouble-free service.

Remote Annunciators

Data sheet S85005-0128

E-FSA remote annunciators provide status indication and common controls for E-FSA Series small analog fire alarm systems. This family of annunciators offers LCD or LED annunciation.

There are three R-Series annunciator models, plus an LED-based expander. Up to two expanders can be connected to any annunciator. The expander includes 24 pairs of LEDs. All annunciator models include status LEDs and an internal sounder.

Remote Booster Power Supplies

Data Sheet S85005-0125

Edwards Boosters are self-contained 24 VDC UL Listed fire alarm power supplies designed to exceed today's rigorous UL 1971 ADA candela requirements. Edwards Boosters contain all of the necessary circuits to monitor and charge batteries, control and supervise four Class B or two Class A NAC circuits, and monitor two controlling inputs from external sources.

Simple switch selection provides a wide variety of operational configurations. Each remote booster power supply is supplied with its own enclosure providing ample space for additional interface modules and batteries.

Booster notification appliance circuits easily configure for either of two signaling rates: 3-3-3 temporal or continuous. California rate is also available on certain models. This makes the Booster Power Supply ideal for applications requiring more signaling power than available from the main panel. It also allows independent setup of a notification appliance circuit without interfering with the main control panel and its initiating circuits.

All Booster Power Supplies support Edwards Genesis series low profile notification appliances and offer strobe synchronization that exceed UL 1971 requirements, while providing independent horn control over a single pair of wires. This is the same synchronization protocol available on E-FSA control panels.

Edwards Booster Power Supplies are available with red cabinets only.
