As an intelligent panel, QS1 supports Signature Series devices, which can use existing wiring in most retrofit applications. This makes upgrading from a conventional detection system to analog a simple operation with minimal disruption to normal operations on site.

QS1’s exclusive QuickStart auto-learn function, and the option of configuring the panel using convenient front panel programming or from a PC, makes short work of system setup. Thanks to its flexibility and simple setup and operation, QS1 is ideal for new installations in schools, apartment buildings, hospitals, office buildings, and retail facilities.

Supporting up to 250 intelligent detectors and modules, QS1 takes full advantage of EST’s exclusive Signature Series technology, which provides electronic addressing, automatic device mapping, environmental compensation, and true multi-sensor detection. QuickStart’s innovative design makes it easy to add a dialer or extra auxiliary relays. Quick-Lok option cards snap onto QS1’s easily-accessible DIN mounting rails. QS1 also supports as many as eight remote annunciators and up to 30 programmable front panel switches with dual LEDs for system control and display.

QS1 is as simple to operate as it is to set up. Its large 14-line backlit LCD display provides easy-to-understand details concerning up to 1,000 system events. Four password levels limit control and information retrieval to authorized personnel. A priority access keyswitch gives Level 2 access without a password to management and emergency personnel.
