The Edwards 4-CPU is the central processing unit for the EST4 fire alarm and emergency communication panel. Specifically, it manages local rail module data and bridges every EST4 node into the system-wide network.
First, the 4-CPU pulls data from local rail modules in real time. Then it facilitates intra-module data exchange and inter-node communication across the EST4 network. As a result, multiple EST4 nodes act as one coordinated panel even when spread across a campus.
Memory and Event History
Furthermore, the 4-CPU carries 8 GB of on-board memory storage. As a result, the panel holds up to two hours of pre-recorded audio messaging plus a large project database. In addition, it stores more than 10,000 alarm events in active history.
The card also stores up to 10,000 locked or frozen events. Therefore, investigators can review historical conditions without losing them to event rollover.

4-CPU vs 4-ANNCPU
However, the 4-CPU and 4-ANNCPU are not the same module. Specifically, the 4-CPU is the panel processor; the 4-ANNCPU is the central processor for an EST4 remote annunciator. Therefore, confirm the install location (panel vs annunciator) before ordering.
Listings
The 4-CPU carries listings as part of the EST4 system. Specifically, EST4 holds UL 864, ULC, FM, and CSFM approvals at the panel level.
