I would get familiar with the hardware below is a link to the wire guide.
A lot of the EST3 is about the programming of the system, you need to know the hardware first.

Thanks leo, In the company I work for they deal mostly with est3's and io500 panel. Is it hard to understand by just reading? I was reading the manual for the est3 it was kinda hard to understand without looking at a panel already hooked up. I appreciate it though and I will give the link a read.

I know this might sound like a stupid question, but Im going to shoot anyway. Can anybody explain whats communication + -, Data + -, Power + -, NC C Com K2 K. The loops I see in the diagrams I see it says Data Loops, but what are they exactly? Thanks for the help and sorry I just did not where else to look.
