CAMWorks updated! – Now supporting E3 Fire Suppression Agent Releasing
Gamewell‐FCI is pleased to announce CAMWorks v3.40! We have made significant improvements in this latest version
of CAMWorks, the most noteworthy update is the support for fire suppression releasing applications.
New Releasing Features
Enabling Releasing Features in CAMWorks
In order to enable the releasing features in CAMWorks v3.40, you must first enable releasing on the ILI‐MB‐E3 in
General Settings. Figure 1, below, illustrates how to do this.
Figure 1. Enabling Releasing Features
Notice, in General Settings, once the “Enable Releasing” checkbox has been checked, a prompt appears notifying you
that releasing configuration options have been added. You must check the “Enable Releasing” check box in General
Settings for each ILI‐MB‐E3 that you wish to use for releasing. For example, as Figure 1 illustrates, the ILI‐MB‐E3 on
Node 2 does not have the Releasing option in the selection tree. In this example “Enable Releasing” was not checked.
Figure 2. Selecting Releasing Zone Type
Zone Type allows the user to select how each releasing zone is initiated.
None – Zone is initiated by any input device associated with the releasing zone.
AND Zone – Zone is initiated when two (2) predefined input devices, associated with the releasing zone, are
triggered.
Counting – Zone is initiated when a predefined number of input devices, associated with the releasing zone,
are triggered.
Please refer to the E3 Series® Releasing System Supplement document in the Supporting Documents section for
further explanation and implementation of each Zone Type.

Time Limit Cutoff Thermal Track
The ILI‐MB‐E3 has an internal time limit of 120 seconds when the agent releasing is active. Once this time limit has
been reached, the system halts its releasing action. The Thermal Track feature bypasses the 120 second time limit and
can be enabled when a thermal detector is used in the releasing zone. The ILI‐MB‐E3 uses the thermal detector to
sense if there is still excessive heat in the associated zone, and determines if the solenoid should continue to release
suppression agents beyond the 120 seconds. For further details on Thermal Track, please refer to the E3 Series®
Releasing System Supplement document in the Supporting Documents section.
