Gamewell-FCI ILI-MB-E3 is the Intelligent Loop Interface Main Board, the main interface for the E3 Series product line: a compact 32-bit RISC "panel on a board."
It is used in the E3 Series Expandable Emergency Evacuation System, the E3 Series Combined Fire and Mass Notification System and the E3 Series Broadband Voice Command Center. On one board it provides two signaling line circuits, auxiliary power output, a local energy city box output, auxiliary relay functions and two notification appliance circuits, combined with built-in network and serial protocols. Relay outputs include system alarm, supervisory and system trouble contacts.

Installation notes
-
Class X signaling line circuit wiring requires System Sensor M500X isolator modules.
-
City box output is non power-limited; all other wiring is Class 2 power-limited, so keep those conductors separated.
-
Network growth: the Addressable Node Expander (ANX) raises the network to 122 nodes; the optional RPT-E3-UTP adds signal boosting and wire or fiber connectivity for remote locations.
-
Mounting: Cabinet B backbox (B-Slim-E3), Cabinet C with E3-ILI-CPLATE, E3-INCC-CPLATE or E3-INX-CPLATE, or Cabinet D with E3-INCC-DPlate or E3-INX-DPLATE.
