Ensuring information clarity the 3-LCDXL uses a backlit high contrast super-twist display. 24 lines of 40 characters provide the room needed to convey emergency information in a useful format.

The 3-LCDXL always displays the last highest priority event even when the user is viewing other message queues. Further message flexibility is provided with EST3’s message routing ability. Messages from a node can display at every node on the network or messages can route to specific nodes only. Routing can be initiated at a specific time/shift change. There is no need to have messages display in areas that are not affected by an event.

The 3-LCDXL can display system messages in either English, French or Spanish.

The EST3 system configures for Local or Proprietary operation in compliance with U.S. or Canadian marketplace requirements. The mode of operation is selected through the System Definition Utility (SDU) which may adjust the following operations slightly to fit the system operation selected.
