reserved exclusively for large big-

iO-Series control panels offer the stability and

reliability of Signature Series detectors, bases, and
modules – the same technology protecting some of
the most sophisticated buildings on the planet.
No more nuisance alarms
With automatic drift compensation, the iO-Series continuously tunes
detector sensitivity by adjusting for environmental conditions such as dirt
and humidity. Meanwhile, sounder bases eliminate the potential for dis-
ruption by providing a local audible alarm until the event is verified. This
feature further reduces the risk of nuisance alarms, avoiding the disrup-
tion to building occupants, and fire department fines that result.

NFPA-compliant detector diagnostics make annual testing simple and

quick. Building occupants aren’t overrun with technicians, and sensitive
building areas remain secure at all times.

 EST Strategic Partners:
Innovation, leadership,
and a rich tradition of excellence...
Whether EST life safety systems are protecting the lives and livelihoods of the
people who make businesses run, or the lives entrusted to the care of public
institutions; whether they’re charged with protecting the guests of the world’s
finest hotels, or preserving irreplaceable artifacts that bring history to life; EST
stands alone as the brand closely associated with some of the most important
and far-reaching developments in the life safety industry today.

Our strength is in our Strategic Partners — the people and organizations

we entrust with the technology that has charted the course of life safety protec-
tion for decades. Strategic Partners are not middlemen or go-betweens. They
are independent contractors that form an integral part of the Edwards marketing
and support organization. As insiders, they enjoy exclusive access to products,
custom design innovations, and factory training. Yet as successful independent
contractors, they are adept at ensuring that each submittal is strong and com-
petitive, and that each bid is locally relevant to your installation. As local busi-
nesses they not only have to earn your trust — they have to keep it.

Together these strengths set EST installations apart, and have earned this
brand a special place among life safety and security solutions available today.
Perhaps that’s why EST products and systems have become the choice of
building owners, architects and engineers around the globe. And why many of
the world’s most cherished landmarks are protected by Edwards products that
bear the EST mark. From the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Museum in Egypt, to the
modern-day sphinx at the Luxor Hotel in Las Vegas, professionals who design,
own and occupy the world’s most impressive structures have come to know
that the safest and most survivable solution today is an EST solution.
