Since 1872, Edwards has led the way with innovative processing solutions that make built space today as safe as it's ever been. From economical hardwired control panels to high-end life safety platforms - and even hybrid panels that offer both conventional and intelligent solutions - this rich legacy of inventiveness and uncompromising quality has distinguished Edwards control panels as the technologies of choice among building owners and designers the world over. The easy-to-install FireShield^™ fire alarm panel for small to mid-range applications takes the very best conventional fire alarm technology available today and balances it with features that benefit small building installers, contractors, building owners and occupants alike. The EST3-Sixty is a top-level, facility-wide solution that offers response personnel the tools they need, not only to warn people of imminent danger, but to guide them to safety as well. And it offers building owners the security of a fully UL Listed solution - an edge that ensures outstanding performance and ongoing compliance for years to come.

From pioneering work in multisensor technology, to award-winning design breakthroughs, Edwards has also established itself as the leader in cutting-edge detection and signaling technology. Making the best of true multisensor capability, the Signature Series^™ Intelligent Detection systems continually monitor the environment, then run the gathered information through a sophisticated algorithm that compares the sensor readings over time to known signatures of fires. When the algorithm finds a match, an alarm condition results. If no match is found, no alarm is sounded. The key here is that Signature detectors don't simply react to the conditions - they interpret information from several sources over time to arrive at a carefully "considered" conclusion. The FireWorks^™ Command and Control system delivers an effective, yet simple means of monitoring and control by organizing all necessary life safety network information into context sensitive event-driven screen quadrants that graphically display the building down to the detail of a single room. Able to monitor all facilities remotely over a LAN or WAN, or even the World Wide Web, FireWorks provides the means for getting the right information to the right people at the right time.
