INTRODUCTION
What is S 3
Safety System Software (S 3 ) is a complete, high performance Human Machine Interface software package that
is designed to work seamlessly with a variety of Safety Systems including all three generations of the Detector
Electronics “Eagle ” addressable systems. It allows data to be acquired from these systems for event and alarm
tracking, display on custom graphics, and to be shared with other systems.
When used as an Operator Interface Station (OIS) it also allows commands to be sent to attached systems to
perform a variety of functions. S 3 also provides convenient and accurate device configuration, programming
and diagnostic tools.
There are no cumbersome keyboard commands for the operator to learn. The entire interface is graphic in
nature. On screen point and click icons allow convenient navigation through the application with easy access
to the various features.
The S 3 database contains all of the information needed to allow for easy and accurate configuration. All
pertinent information for the device being configured including user selectable options is displayed on an easy
to understand “point configuration screen”. From this screen the configuration can be viewed and changes can
be made as desired.
Pre-configured “Point Display Screens” present data for complex networked devices as well as conventional
ones in a consolidated and easy to understand format. With Eagle Quantum Premier devices, each node on the
network provides detailed status information, recent alarms and calibration records.
S 3 also provides password protection for up to 64 different user accounts to keep unauthorized personnel from
modifying system configurations, and thousands of user levels for accessing command and control functions.
In short, S 3 collects, tracks, displays and distributes your safety system information while allowing intuitive
operator input for command and control functions of these safety systems.
User Guide
Depending on the application or system, it is very unlikely that all the features offered in S 3 will be utilized, or
some features may be used more than others. The S 3 user guide has been developed to assist experienced
operators in understanding the vast capabilities of this robust safety system software.
New users with no prior S 3 knowledge will have difficulty following this guide. It is strongly recommended that
a new user attend the EQP Systems Advanced Technical Training class (Course 102). Further information is
available through our website or contact us by telephone.
