1.5 – Data Integrity

2026-03-12T09:18:47+00:00

The ESP protocol employs data integrity features which minimise the possibility of data corruption. It uses a proven combination of

1.13 – Sounder Synchronisation

2026-03-12T09:24:38+00:00

The ESP protocol can also control those devices that can have their outputs operated continuous or pulsed, such as sounders.

1.9 – Extended Addressing

2026-03-12T09:22:20+00:00

The ESP protocol allows for 127 main addresses, but these can be extended to 254 for certain loop powered alarm
