The Edwards 3X-ETH2 Ethernet Adapter Card brings 10/100 Base-T network connectivity to an EST3X life safety control panel. It plugs into one of the SFS1-CPU main board’s option slots.
First, the 3X-ETH2 provides everything the earlier 3X-ETH1 card supports. Specifically, it gives the panel an Ethernet path for remote programming with the 3-SDU utility. In addition, it supports panel diagnostics and live status monitoring over the network.
Furthermore, the 3X-ETH2 adds email-message reporting on top of the 3X-ETH1 feature set. As a result, a single panel can send event notifications to designated recipients without a dialer or a third-party gateway. The later 3X-ETH3 builds on this by adding SMS text-message delivery through email-to-text gateways.
Key Features
- 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connection over standard Cat 5 cable
- Standard RJ-45 connector with auto-negotiation
- Provides the remote programming, diagnostics, and status-monitoring functions of the 3X-ETH1
- Adds email-message reporting for event notifications
- Mounts in any option-card slot on the EST3X SFS1-CPU main board
- Up to 200 ft (60 m) cable run between the panel and the local network equipment
- Listed as part of the EST3X UL 864 and UL 2572 system listings
Verified Electrical Specifications
- Operating voltage: 24 VDC
- Standby current: 42 mA at 24 VDC (per EST3X Data Sheet 85005-0133, 3X-ETH baseline)
- Active current: 54 mA at 24 VDC (per EST3X Data Sheet 85005-0133, 3X-ETH baseline)
- Operating temperature: 32 to 120 °F (0 to 49 °C)
- Operating humidity: 0 to 93% non-condensing
Compatible Panels
The 3X-ETH2 fits Edwards EST3X panels built on the SFS1-CPU main board. For example, this includes the 3X-SFS1B, 3X-SFS1R, 3X-SFS1Bi, and 3X-SFS1Ri panels.
What This Card Is Not
First, the 3X-ETH2 is not a network controller. Therefore, it does not replace the 3X-NET, 3X-NET8, 3X-FIB, or 3X-FIB8 cards that carry panel-to-panel network data. Instead, it provides an Ethernet path for programming, diagnostics, status monitoring, and email reporting.
