General Information
The Model 013-02-0095-005 and 013-02-0095-006 E3 System Controllers are central components in
Elemec3 PAGA (public address and general alarm) systems. They are for use where failsafe operation is
imperative but are also suitable for a wide variety of other communication and control applications.
Figure 1. Elemec3 System Controller
E3 system controllers are data acquisition, audio signal processing, and control devices. An E3 system
controller continuously monitors the integrity of its Elemec3 system and immediately reports changes in
activity or system health. The controller sends and receives data and test signals to and from connected
equipment to provide a reliable, high integrity system. The system monitors access panels, Elemec power
amplifiers, audio paths, alarm inputs, beacon outputs, and other system components.
The Model 013-02-0095-005 System Controller includes an analog telephone interface PCBA and a SIP
telephone interface, making it capable of receiving incoming calls from either analog or IP telephone

systems. The Model 013-02-0095-006 includes only the SIP telephone interface for connection to an IP
telephone system.
The E3 system controller’s Ethernet interface provides a SIP telephone interface, enabling reception of
VoIP telephone calls by the E3 controller. This provides programmable access to the PA system (usually
at the lowest priority level). Allocate a dedicated IP-PBX extension for this service.
Configure an Elemec3 system controller in the following ways to provide the required level of system
redundancy: 1) Single system (standalone), 2) Hot standby system (N+1), and 3) Duplicate system (A/B)
(see the System Types section).
Use the Elemec3 Console application to configure the E3 system, via a TCP/IP network connection.
Use the Elemec3 Portal software application to monitor system status, including current audio activity,
faults, inputs, outputs, and amplifier states via a TCP/IP network connection. The system controller
contains an internal clock to enable a time stamp on event logs when the status of the system changes,
such as an alarm event.
To eliminate the possibility of acoustic feedback, configure the system to replay digitally recorded audio
from access panels, PABX systems, Page/Party systems, and VoIP telephones.
Individually program up to 256 inputs and 256 outputs. Connect up to 16 wired access panels for speech
broadcasts and manual alarm/emergency message activation. Additional audio inputs/outputs are
available to accommodate connections to/from ancillary equipment.
The system has two audio paths to enable two simultaneous broadcasts.
Install the controllers in a standard 19-inch rack for ease of installation and maintenance. All connections
to the controller are a plug/socket type.
System Types
Configure the Elemec3 system controller in one of three ways: 1) Single System (Standalone), 2) Hot
Standby System (N+1), or 3) Duplicate System (A/B). Refer to the system manual included with the
Elemec3 system for detailed information on that system’s configuration.
Single System (Standalone)
In a single type system, a single Elemec3 system controller controls the system’s amplifiers, access
panels, and I/O devices.
Hot Standby (N+1) System
In a redundant N+1 system, two controllers, designated as primary and secondary, control a single set of
amplifiers. Duplicate access panels and I/O devices have connections to both controllers.
Automatic switchover (hot standby) amplifier control automatically connects spare amplifiers to the
loudspeaker network of failed amplifiers.
Duplicate (A/B) System
In a duplicated or redundant system, two Elemec3 system controllers, designated as Aand B, control two
sets of amplifiers (also designated as A and B) with two speaker lines run in different routes. Duplicate
access panels and I/O devices have connections to both the A and B controllers. Locate duplicate systems
together or at two separate locations, each housing either the A or B system.

Important Safety Instructions
• Read these instructions.
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this equipment near water.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the equipment has been
damaged in any way. This includes, but is not limited to; power-supply cord or plug damage,
exposure to rain, moisture, or liquid intrusion into the equipment, the equipment has been dropped or
has sustained a severe shock, or fails to operate normally for any reason.
Front Panel Indicators & Control
The E3 system controller front panel has an auto alarm inhibit key switch, three LED indicators, and a
USB port (the USB port is not functional in this product). When the auto alarm inhibit key switch is in
the ON position, it prevents activation of alarm events from configured I/O module inputs. The LEDs
indicate if the system is in use, if power is present, and if the system is operating normally or has a fault
condition.

Installation Safety Guidelines
Please adhere to all warnings, safety, and operating instructions on the unit and in the installation manual.
WARNING
•Disconnect power before servicing—Do not disconnect the equipment while the circuit is energized.
•Avoid servicing the unit during electrical storms.
•Do not touch uninsulated wires.
Installation Guidelines
•Notify plant personnel of a system shutdown prior to servicing the unit.
•Disconnect power before installing or removing the system controller.
Mounting
Mount the Elemec3 System Controller in the 19-inch rack using the supplied hardware. Each controller is
1.75 inches tall/1 U of rack height.
Field Connections
Input Power
The controller requires a 24 V dc power source capable of delivering 6.4 amps minimum.
1. Remove the two-position plug from the 24VDC IN header (see Figure 3).
2. Screw the dc power cable to the plug.
Observe the polarity marking on the rear of the unit.
3. Install the plug into the 24VDC IN header.
Power applied to the 24VDC IN connector also powers the access panel interfaces, access panels, and
the I/O modules.
