Don’t discard your existing investment in Ziton. Now you can easily
and economically upgrade your aging Ziton technology to a worldleading EST3 fire and life safety system. EST3 is now compatible
with Ziton field devices so that you can upgrade your panels without
replacing all of your detectors, manual call points, and I/O modules.
Depending on the configuration, you could save up to 80% of the
cost of purchasing and installing a completely new system. And
with your new EST3 system, you can replace Ziton detectors with
Signature detectors over time and benefit from the latest technology.
Signature detectors can significantly reduce your false alarm rates
and provide a lower cost of service and maintenance.
Our non-proprietary Strategic Partner Program will ensure you can
confidently choose from a range of trained and certified EST system
installers within your geographic region.
