At Diamond Systems, we’re proud to be recognised as Edwards EST3 fire alarm specialists – trusted to handle some of the most complex commissioning work in Northern Ireland. Our recent projects at Odyssey Place in Belfast for Char & Mash and Little Wing Pizzeria are perfect examples of why specialist expertise matters.
Odyssey Place operates one of the largest networked fire alarm systems in Northern Ireland, built on the Edwards EST3 platform. Adding a new venue to this network isn’t simply a matter of wiring in a few devices – it requires precise programming, configuration, and integration into the site-wide life safety system without disruption to existing operations.
That’s where Diamond Systems comes in. Our engineers have deep, hands-on experience with Edwards EST3 commissioning, programming, and network integration, ensuring each new panel is fully synchronised with the wider system and compliant with the latest fire safety standards.
For the stunning new 15,000 sq. ft. Char & Mash, we supplied, programmed, and commissioned the Edwards EST3 fire alarm system and TOA voice alarm system to BS 5839-1:2025 and BS 5839-8:2023 standards.
In addition to the life safety systems, our in-house team also designed and installed a complete security package, including:
The result is a venue that’s not only beautifully designed, but also safe, secure, and fully compliant.
When Little Wing Pizzeria, part of the renowned Beannchor Group, agreed to open its newest location in Odyssey Place, we were appointed to supply, programme, and commission its Edwards EST3 fire alarm system and TOA voice alarm system.
The same high level of precision was required – programming the new system into the Odyssey network without affecting any other connected units. This kind of commissioning is complex, and it’s exactly why operators turn to specialists who understand the Edwards EST3’s advanced networking capabilities.
The Edwards EST3 is one of the most advanced and reliable fire alarm control systems available, offering extensive networking, intelligent detection, and integration with voice alarm systems. However, its capabilities mean it must be programmed and commissioned by technicians who understand both the hardware and the network logic behind it.
At Diamond Systems, we’ve been working with Edwards EST3 systems since 1997, delivering projects where safety, compliance, and uninterrupted operation are critical. From large public venues to multi-building complexes, our EST3 commissioning ensures systems work flawlessly from day one. We can also provide forward migration services to the EST4 life safety platform.
With projects like Char & Mash and Little Wing, we’re continuing to support the transformation of Odyssey Place into one of Belfast’s most exciting destinations – and making sure it’s protected by the very best in life safety and security technology.
