EST3's can ONLY be programmed by a licensed EST Programmer. When you go through the 1 week programming class, you get entered into their internal network of programmed. They then issue you a fob (or a hasp) which is basically the key that ties any particular program back to the programmer.
Their are alot of other issues as well, such as, if you dont have the most current copy of your program, then you will most likely cause more problems.
Also, the entire functionality of the system is done in computer code.

To open a fire alarm, you typically need to break the glass or press a button on the alarm panel. This will activate the alarm and alert others of a fire emergency.
Yes, as long as there is enough typical/backup/standby power for both.
To effectively shut off a fire alarm, locate the alarm panel and enter the code or use a key to silence the alarm. If you cannot do this, contact the fire department for assistance.
Yes.
First you locate the source of the alarm, undo the condition (e.g., valve closed, inadequate pressure, etc), then reset the alarm condition on the sprinkler control panel and reset the alarm on the fire alarm control panel (assuming they're connected, as required by many fire codes).
Fire alarm panels receive signals from sensors and detectors. If smoke, heat, or fire is detected, the panel activates alarms, notifies emergency responders, and can even trigger fire suppression systems.
To effectively turn off fire alarms in case of a false alarm or emergency situation, locate the alarm panel and enter the code to silence the alarm. If you cannot find the panel or code, contact the building management or fire department for assistance. Do not ignore the alarm or tamper with it without proper authorization.
To effectively stop a fire alarm from sounding, locate the alarm's control panel and enter the designated code or press the reset button. If you are not able to do this, contact the fire department for assistance.
Only if your building is required to have an interconnected fire alarm system. Your local and state fire codes and building codes will determine what kind of alarm system is required, if any. Many single or two-family dwellings are allowed to have individual smoke alarms that are not connected to an alarm panel, but they only give local audible/visual alarm. An alarm panel allows the system to call automatically for help, when necessary. When you have one connected in a building it will supply power to the smoke detectors and the rest of the fire alarm system and may indicate where the fire has been detected. This information can be relayed to the dispatchers, allowing the fire officer/brigade to find the source of the alarm quickly and attend to the cause.
Repeater panels, also known as Annunciator panels are used to provide a visual display of the main panel. They can additionally provide limited control functions, such as acknowledge, silence, and reseting the main fire alarm panel.
