Introduction to the 4100U-S1 Fire Alarm System  
Introduction  
The 4100U-S1 is a compact version of the 4100U fire alarm, which is intended for use in  
applications requiring only one or two loops of addressable devices.  
This chapter is an overview of basic system concepts.

Basic Configuration  
Overview  
The basic version of the 4100U-S1 is used for smaller or single-building applications. It is  
ideally placed in a small building that requires a limited number of notification appliances  
and initiating devices.  
If a small building is being expanded, or if other buildings are being constructed in the  
same general area (as in a campus application), the basic 4100U-S1 can be expanded via  
networking into one of the larger systems described in Chapter 3.  
System Design  
The basic 4100U-S1 is a single cabinet containing these items: CPU, System Power  
Supply, and optional slave cards.  
As standard, the 4100U-S1 has one IDNet addressable loop that can support up to 250  
devices. A second IDNet addressable loop can be added by fitting a 4100-3101AU IDNet  
module to the expansion bay in the cabinet (see Chapter 6).  
The basic 4100U-S1 can be expanded with a limited number of 4100-type legacy  
card/modules or newer 4” x 5” 4100U modules.  
All appliances and devices are connected to this one cabinet, as shown in Figure 1-1.  
To additional IDNET devices, up to 250 total

Chapter 2  
Installing 4100U-S1 Components  
This chapter describes how to mount the 4100U-S1 cabinet to a wall, and how to mount  
system card bays into the cabinets, modules to bays, etc.  
Introduction  
Most of a 4100U-S1 is already assembled within the factory. Steps 2 to 6 below are  
therefore not typically required in the field, but are included for reference.  
The assembly drawings are included in the appendix of this manual for reference.

Introduction to 4100U-S1 Cabinet  
Overview  
Bays  
The 4100U-S1 cabinet contains the CPU, operator interface, system power supply (SPS),  
backup batteries, and any additional modules that the panel requires.  
These items are organized into sub-assemblies called bays or card frames, each with a  
swing-down front door. The 4100U-S1 has two bays: the CPU bay and one expansion  
bay.  
In the standard 4100U-S1, the CPU bay contains the SPS and the CPU Motherboard with  
CPU Daughter card. The front of the bay holds the Operator Interface, consisting of the  
LCD, keyboard, and fault sounder. Older 4100-style motherboards can be mounted in the  
CPU bay.  
The expansion bay has a PDI (Power Distribution Interface) backplane into which can be  
plugged a number of 4” x 5” 4100U modules. Older 4100-style motherboards can also be  
mounted in the expansion bay.

CPU Motherboard  
The 4100U CPU motherboard holds the CPU card, which is central to the 4100U-S1  
system. It is mounted in the CPU bay, occupying two slots of space immediately beside  
the power supply. These boards do not have a card address DIP switch (the CPU is  
always address 0).

Operator Interface  
The operator interface lets a user operate the panel. It provides alarm, fault, and isolate  
status alerts, and lets the user review historical logs and perform diagnostics.  
Figure 2-3. Operator Interface  
Additional CPU  
Motherboard  
Modules  
4100-6014 Modular Network Interface Card (NIC). A daughter card that mounts to the  
CPU motherboard. Performs 4100 networking operations. May be installed with 4100-  
6056 Wired Media Cards and/or the 4100-6057 Fiber Media Cards.  
System Power  
Supply (SPS)  
The 4100U-S1 is powered by the SPS (System Power Supply), which gets its primary  
power from the AC mains and its secondary power from the backup batteries.  
The SPS in the 4100U-S1 has hardware and software that are specific to Australian  
requirements.  
The system power supply is mains powered and has backup batteries that get switched in  
on mains failure. It is the initial power source for the CPU and the host cabinet. The SPS  
provides 24V card power to the CPU motherboard and the other cards. It also supplies  
24V power on a separate bus to the outputs, e.g. Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs).  
The SPS also has three on-board NACs that support reverse polarity supervision. It  
provides an IDNet channel, auxiliary power, an auxiliary relay, and it mounts and drives  
the Alarm Relay Card.  
The SPS performs functions such as brownout detection, battery transfer, battery  
recharge, earth fault detection, and power limiting of outputs. It provides voltage and  
current information to the CPU card, which can then be displayed at the user interface.  
The 24VDC bulk power on the SPS is unregulated, and is divided into three feeds: 24V  
Card, 24V Signal, and 24V Aux Power. 24V Card, which supplies the cards, and Aux  
Power, which is accessible on screw terminals, are each rated at 2A and protected by a  
PTC. The 27.3V regulated battery charger is powered from the bulk supply and is  
switched off during alarm. The charger has two programmable options of rating: 1.4A for  
6-18Ahr batteries, and 3.3A for batteries above 18Ahr.  
The “heavy” 24V Signal feed is only accessible via the NACs on the SPS.

Introduction to 4100U-S1 Cabinet, Continued  
The basic 4100U-S1 has a Fuse Distribution Board mounted on the SPS chassis and  
connected to the Auxiliary Power terminals. This provides four sets of supply terminals,  
each individually fused at 1A, but the collective capacity is still limited to 2A from the  
Auxiliary Power supply. The fuses are not directly supervised.

The Power  
Distribution  
Interface (PDI)  
In the expansion bay, power and data are distributed via the power distribution interface  
(PDI). The PDI is a wiring board with eight card slots, each of which can accommodate a  
4-inch (102 mm) x 5-inch (127 mm) slave card. If 4100-style motherboards are used, they

Step 1. Mounting Cabinets  
Overview  
The important aspects of mounting the cabinet are:  
Access for the operator;  
Height of displays and controls;  
Free space for door opening;  
Cable entry for field wiring.  
Refer to AS1670.1 for the height requirement and minimum access requirements.  
In general, 4100U-S1 cabinets will be wall mounted. There are four dimpled mounting  
holes in the rear of the cabinet. These are accessible from the inside of the cabinet with the  
equipment bays still fitted, but it may be more convenient to remove the CPU bay. See the  
instruction in the next section about this procedure.  
Mounting hole and cabinet dimensions are shown in drawing 1976-176, in the appendix to  
this manual.  
Door opening is to the left as standard.  
Step 2. Mounting Card Bays to Cabinets  
Overview  
The CPU Bay and the Expansion Bay are both attached to the rear of the cabinet by four  
8/32” screws. The bays are prevented from movement during transit by locking screws  
fitted just below the upper mounting screws.  
To remove a bay, remove the locking screws, loosen the mounting screws, then lift the  
bay up and out. Disconnect any wiring from the bay before lifting it free.  
Assembly is the reverse of this procedure. The transit locking screws do not have to be  
re-fitted to an installed cabinet.  
Step 3. Configuring Cards  
Overview  
The CPU, SPS, and all other modules to be mounted in the 4100U-S1 cabinet must be  
configured to operate correctly in the system via their DIP switch and jumper ports. This  
section describes the hardware configuration for the CPU and SPS, since they will always  
be used in the CPU bay.  
CPU Motherboard  
Configuration  
The CPU motherboard must be jumpered as follows:  
P9 determines whether the RUI SHIELD signal is connected to 24 C or Earth.  
Position 1 – 2: SHIELD to 24 C (default). Set to this position unless the system  
uses a TrueAlert Power Supply. Use this setting for 4100U-S1.  
Position 2 – 3: SHIELD to Earth. Set to this position only if the system uses a  
TrueAlert Power Supply.

Step 3. Configuring Cards, Continued  
Note: Some devices that connect to RUI have inherently grounded shield  
terminals, in which case 24 C cannot be used. If 24 C is used, a Negative  
Ground Fault will occur.  
P10/P11: P10 is associated with Port 1 and P11 is associated with Port 2. P10 and P11 are  
used to set the CPU motherboard up to be attached to either a network card or a RS-  
232/2120 card.  
Position 1 – 2: Network card (NIC) plugged into CPU motherboard (default).  
Position 2 – 3: RS-232/2120 card plugged into CPU motherboard.  
CPU Daughter Card  
Configuration  
The CPU daughter card must be jumpered as follows:  
P1 is used for engineering diagnostics (COMLAB). Normally has no link fitted.  
Position 1 – 2 : Download or no connection.  
Position 2 – 3 : Diagnostic mode.  
P3 configures the RAM battery as ON or OFF.  
Position 1 – 2 : ON – move to this position for normal operation.  
Position 2 – 3 : OFF – factory setting.  
SPS Configuration  
The SPS must be configured as follows:  
SW1: Using DIP switch SW1, set the SPS card address to 1. Use the address table in  
Appendix A for the switch settings.  
P2: P2 configures the IDNet shield connection.  
Position 1 – 2 (bottom) : Connects the shield to 0 V (default). Use this setting for  
4100U-S1.  
Position 2 – 3 (top) : Connects the shield to earth ground.  
P3 configures relay 3 on the 4100-6033 Alarm Relay Card.  
Position 1 – 2 (top) : Removes fault monitoring on Relay 3 (default). Use this setting  
for 4100U-S1.  
Position 2 – 3 (bottom) : Makes Relay 3 activate when there is a fault.  
P1: Earth connect jumper.  
Position 1 – 2 (rhs): Enables Earth fault monitoring. Set to this position unless the  
system uses a TrueAlert Power Supply under common 0 V. Use this setting for  
4100U-S1.  
Position 2 – 3 (lhs): Disables Earth fault monitoring. Set to this position only if the  
system uses a TrueAlert Power Supply under common 0 V.  
PDI Configuration  
P4/P5: The PDI can be configured to draw its power from different sources via P4 and  
P5. For 4100U-S1 both links should be in position 1-2.  
Configuring Other  
Cards  
Refer to the appropriate installation instructions to configure other cards that are located  
in the CPU and expansion bays. The common 4100U cards and modules are included in  
this manual. Refer to Appendix D for a list of publications.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Step 4. Interconnecting Modules and Bays  
Overview  
Each card has to be interconnected with every other card in its bay. At the same time,  
bays in the 4100U-S1 also have to be connected together. Read this section to ensure that  
cards and bays are interconnected correctly. Refer also to drawings 1976-136 and 1976-  
137.  
The basic 4100U-S1 will have all necessary interconnection wiring already fitted, but  
additional wiring may be necessary if expansion modules are fitted.  
Guidelines  
Review the following guidelines before interconnecting modules and bays.  
The SPS provides 24 V power to the CPU motherboard.  
The CPU motherboard provides 8 V (3 A capacity) for use by legacy 4100 slave  
cards. 24 V Card power is routed through the motherboard for slave card use.  
4100 internal comms and power are harnessed to other bays. Do not connect the 8 V  
at P7 to an 8 V converter on a Goldwing or remote interface card.  
24 V Card power from the SPS is rated at 2 A maximum.  
The 4-wire comms and power harness carries only the 24 V Card supply to a PDI,  
and not the 24V Signal supply.  
Some of the wire harnesses supplied with add-on cards may not be required. These  
spare harnesses should be stored in case of future requirements.  
Card  
Connect P8 on the SPS to P1 on the CPU motherboard using the 8 wire harness with  
eight-position Molex minifit connector (provided).  
Interconnections in  
the CPU Bay  
The power distribution interface (PDI) mounted to the back of the expansion cabinet  
carries 24V Card power and data to each 4”x 5” card.  
Card  
Interconnections  
Within Expansion  
Bay  
Refer to “Step 5: Installing Modules into Expansion Bays for instructions on mounting  
4”x 5” cards to the PDI. Also bear in mind that legacy 4100 motherboards require non-  
PDI interconnections to each other and to the CPU Motherboard.  
Basic Bay-To-Bay  
Interconnections  
The 4 wire harness 734-008 is used to carry 24V Card power and coms from the CPU bay  
to the expansion bay. Connector P1 on the PDI receives power from P6 on the SPS or P7  
or P8 on the CPU Motherboard. P2 on the PDI is used to connect power and comms to a  
64/64 Controller. In a larger system, P3 on the PDI is used to carry power and comms to  
the next PDI, but is not used in 4100U-S1.

Step 4. Interconnecting Modules and Bays, Continued  
Connecting to  
Motherboards  
Panels with legacy motherboards in the expansion bay require some non-PDI  
connections. If you need to connect a harness to a motherboard, refer to Figure 2-6 and  
follow these steps. Make sure to route the power and communication wiring on the left  
side of the bay.  
1. Connect one end of the 733-525 Harness to a motherboard in the CPU bay.  
If the CPU bay has no additional motherboards (the usual case), connect the harness  
to the P8 and P7 connectors of the CPU motherboard.  
Insert the harness connector with the blue wire into the P8 connector. Note that  
the P8 connector has eight pins. Insert the harness connector on either the top  
four pins or the bottom four pins, not in the middle.  
Insert the harness connector with the white wire into the P7 connector. Note that  
the P7 connector has eight pins. Insert the harness connector on either the top  
four pins or the bottom four pins, not in the middle.  
2. Connect the other end of the harness to the leftmost motherboard in the next bay,  
as described below.  
Insert the harness connector with the blue wire into the P2 connector. Note  
that the P2 connector has eight pins. Insert the harness connector on either  
the top four pins or the bottom four pins, not in the middle.  
Insert the harness connector with the white wire into the P3 connector. Note  
that the P3 connector has eight pins. Insert the harness connector on either  
the top four pins or the bottom four pins, not in the middle.

Step 5. Installing Modules into Expansion Bays  
Overview  
This section contains guidelines and instructions on installing 4”x 5” cards and traditional  
motherboards into the 4100U-S1 expansion bay.  
IMPORTANT: This section applies to aftermarket modules for expansion bays only. If  
you do not need to install any aftermarket modules at all, you have  
completed the panel installation and can apply AC power.  
Placement  
Guidelines  
Refer to the following guidelines before mounting 4” x 5” cards and/or motherboards to  
the expansion bay.  
The expansion bay assembly includes a chassis, two end supports, one LED/switch  
frame, and a power distribution interface (PDI) board.  
An expansion bay holds up to four 4” x 5” modules if a T-Gen 50 is fitted, or up to  
six modules if not.

Placement  
Guidelines  
(continued)  
Motherboards can be installed on top of the PDI in expansion bays. The data and  
power that would normally be bussed via the PDI are routed across the motherboards  
via their left and right connectors (J1 and P1).  
Up to four 2” (51 mm) x 11 ½” (292 mm) motherboards can be installed in an  
expansion bay if the pins on the left connector (usually P1) on the leftmost  
motherboard are removed.  
Motherboards should be added from left to right, starting in slot 3.  
Relay motherboards must be the rightmost motherboards.  
The CPU motherboard generates the 8V supply required for 4100A motherboards. It  
also has the 4100A style Molex connectors to which a harness can be fitted as in  
Figure 2-6.

Step 5. Installing Modules into Expansion Bays, Continued  
Installing 4” X 5”  
Cards  
The power distribution interface (PDI) is mounted to the back of the expansion bay. The  
PDI contains slots for up to eight 4”x 5” slave cards. Since the PDI carries power and data  
across the entire bay, it solves most interconnection issues, especially between  
4”x 5” cards.  
Use the following instructions and the figure below to mount 4”x 5” slave cards to the  
expansion cabinet.  
1. Screw two standoffs and washers to the appropriate holes in the back of the  
cabinet. These holes must line up with the screw holes in the 4”x 5” card. See  
Figure 2-9.  
2. Plug the 4”x 5” card into the appropriate blind mating connector. Seat the card  
firmly onto the PDI when installing to ensure complete insertion of the power  
connector into the PDI.  
3. Secure the other end of the card to the standoffs with two 6/32” x ¼” torx screws  
and washers.

Step 6. Installing LED/Switch Modules into Expansion Bays  
Overview  
The LED/switch user interface consists of a variety of modules, mounted to the front of  
an expansion bay, which are configured via the 4100U Programmer. Each display module  
contains between 8 and 24 switches and LEDs, each one separately configurable.  
User interface functionality is driven by the 64/64 LED/Switch Controller Card, which  
mounts behind two of the display modules (in positions 1 and 2). The types of modules  
typically used in 4100U-S1 are as follows:  
4100-1288 LED/Switch Controller Card with mounting plate.  
4100-1289 LED/Switch Controller Card (no mounting plate; it mounts on the  
expansion space of 4100-1288).  
4100-1282 Display Card. With one red and one yellow LED per switch, this is  
used for Alarm Zone Facility displays.  
4100-1294 Slide-In Label Kit - one per 4100U-S1 cabinet  
ME0456 Fan Control Module  
Each 4100-1288 or 4100-1289 LED/switch controller supports up to 64 LED indicators  
and 64 switch controls. Using the 4100-1282 Display Card for zone displays, this  
corresponds to 32 zones per controller.  
Other display cards are available for special display functions. Special configuration is  
required to use other display cards. Contact your Simplex dealer for guidance.

If more than 32 zones are required, a second controller (4100-1289) will be required.  
Note that an ME0456 fan control module counts as 8 zones when adding up the controller  
requirements.  
LED 1. This LED illuminates if communication loss between the controller and the CPU  
occurs. It is independent of jumper P1 (which configures different communication loss  
features).  
Configuring the  
LED/Switch

The 64/64 LED/switch controller requires physical configuration, but the LED/Switch  
modules do not. Switch controller configuration consists of setting jumper P1 and setting  
the card address. In the 4100U-S1, the first display controller is address 3 and the second  
has address 4. Card addressing is covered in Appendix A.

LED/Switch Modules  
Wiring Instructions  
All types of modules are mounted to the front of a bay, and are connected to each other  
via a ribbon cable. Each module operates by the same rules: when a button is pressed, the  
controller card sends the CPU the information, and the action programmed for that button  
occurs.  
To interconnect display cards and connect the controller card to a power source:  
1. Use harness 734-008 to connect P2 on the controller card to one of the 4-pin  
connectors on the PDI.  
2. If there are two controller cards, use harness 734-036 to connect P3 on the first  
controller card to P2 on the second controller card. The order does not matter.  
Connect P4 of the controller to P1 of the left-most display module, with the ribbon cable  
provided (the first two display modules are fitted in the factory). Connect P2 of this  
display module to P1 of the next module, up to a maximum of four modules. Repeat for  
the second controller, if fitted.

4100U Fan Control Module  
Overview  
Labelling  
The ME0456 is a 4100U style Switch/LED display module designed specifically for fan  
control. It complies with the requirements of AS 1668.1:1998. It has rotary switches and  
LEDs for 4 sets of fans. In order to accommodate the required rotary switches, the front  
plate is joggled forward so that it protrudes through the trim.  
The Fan Control switch positions of ON, AUTO and OFF, are permanently marked on the  
faceplate label, as required by AS 1668. The name area accommodates 3 rows of 6 letters  
at 5mm.  
The labelling of the LEDs, ON, FLT, and OFF is marked on the removable fan name  
label card, LB0605, supplied with the module.  
The card may be reversed and different LED labelling used, e.g. for damper controls.  
A template version of this label is available as LB0605. This template allows entry of the  
fan name on a PC for local printing. LED names may also be revised.  
Mounting &  
Connection  
The Fan Control module mounts to the frame of the 4100U-S1 Expansion bay door from  
the front, in a similar fashion to display modules. Mounting nuts and washers are  
provided.  
Connection from “Out” of the adjacent Switch/LED module (or 64/64 Controller if it is  
the first module on that Controller) to “In” on the module is by the flat flexible cable  
provided (166-226).  
Programming  
The module is programmed as a standard 8 Switch/16 LED module. Up to four modules  
can be driven by one 64/64 Switch/LED Controller.  
Each fan control with one rotary switch uses two of the 8 “switches”, and 3 of the 16  
LEDs of an 8 Switch/16 LED module as per Table 2-1. The other 4 LEDs are not fitted so  
must not be programmed, since it serves no purpose.

Chapter 3  
Networking  
Introduction  
A basic 4100U-S1 system becomes a network node when a Network Interface Card (NIC)  
or other compatible network card is installed and connected to another network node.  
How network cards connect to each other depends on the type of media cards being used.  
In this Chapter

Network Configuration  
Overview  
Multiple 4100U-S1 panels can be connected together into a network system by using  
network interface cards (NICs). When a NIC is installed into a 4100U-S1, it is used to  
connect to other network nodes. Nodes may consist of other 4100U-S1 or larger 4100U  
panels, or they may be other types of node such as Graphical Command Centers (GCCs),  
or Visual Command Centers (VCCs). A node is a self-sufficient CPU that controls  
appliances and devices, and which also has the capability of controlling and  
communicating with other nodes.  
The network configuration supports two common architectures or wiring configurations:  
ring or star. A networked system can also use a combination of the two.  
Ring and Star  
Configurations  
The ring configuration consists of a number of nodes connected in a closed loop. The star  
configuration consists of several nodes connected directly to one common node. Physical  
bridge cards are used for the star configuration. Physical bridges reduce the amount of  
wire that would otherwise be needed to connect all nodes in a loop, and therefore cut  
down on system response time. However, the ring configuration is more secure against  
cabling faults. A combination of the two styles is illustrated in Figure 3-1.

than two network loops connected in tandem. For every two loops that are  
interconnected (using one physical bridge), there can be a maximum of three other  
physical bridges used in a star configuration. See Figure 3-2.

Getting Started  
Overview  
This chapter describes how to turn a basic 4100U-S1 into a network node. This process  
consists of the following:  
Step 1. Mounting media cards to the network interface card (NIC)  
Step 2. Mounting the network cards in the panel  
Step 3. Wiring between panels  
Each step is described in this chapter. Before beginning the installation, review the next  
few pages for a detailed description of network cards and the media cards that mount onto  
them.  
Introduction to the 4100 Network Interface Card (NIC)  
Overview  
The Network Interface Card (NIC) is a slave card that uses the standard 4100 serial bus to  
communicate with the CPU. The NIC connects 4100U-S1 and other panels in a network,  
providing communication between each panel via fiber or shielded twisted pair cable.  
The NIC is designed to be connected in a loop or ring arrangement, so that a single cable  
fault does not cause the entire system to fail. The ring arrangement provides the most  
secure and fault-tolerant wiring possible.  
Two types of media boards can be used with the NIC card.  
The Fiber-Optic Media Card uses multimode optical fibres to connect network  
nodes. This can be used for electrically noisy environments or for connecting  
externally to other buildings.  
The Wired Media Card is used in all other types of applications. This uses  
ordinary screened paired cable to connect network nodes.  
Up to two media boards can be plugged onto each NIC. The same NIC can use a  
combination of two types of media boards (for example, a NIC may have a wired media  
card connected to port 1 and a fiber-optic media card connected to port 2).

Step 2. Mounting Media Cards to the NIC  
Overview  
The 4100-6014 Network Interface Card (NIC) uses media cards to connect to other NICs.  
This section describes how the media cards are mounted onto NICs.  
Media Card  
Mounting  
NICs connect to each other via the two types of media cards. The types of media cards in  
the right and left ports are determined by the type of wiring that is being used between  
cards.  
Connect P1 on the wired media card, or J1 on the fiber media cards, to P5 (the left port)  
on the NIC.  
To connect a second media card to the same NIC, connect it as described above, but use  
P6 (the right port) on the NIC. Note that any two types of media cards can be connected  
to the same NIC.

Step 4. Wiring Network Cards  
Overview  
The nodes in the network now have to be wired together, so that the NIC in one host  
panel connects to the NIC in the next panel.  
Wiring Guidelines  
Refer to the following guidelines field wiring  
General  
Network nodes must be wired from right port to left port, regardless of the media  
type selected.  
Best protection is achieved by wiring the nodes in a loop fashion. A single fault  
(except an Earth fault) will cause the network to reconfigure for degraded  
operation. A second fault (except an Earth fault) will result in the network  
dividing into two separate networks.  
It is permissible to use mixed media in a network. For example, some spans may  
be wired media while others are optical fiber.  
Each NIC has a jumper for selecting between network data rates of 57.6 kbps  
and 9.6 kbps. All cards in the network must be set for the same rate. When  
physical bridging is used, the data rate must be set to 9.6kbps.  
Each NIC has a jumper for selecting between 8- and 9-bit network protocols. All  
cards in the network must be set for the same network protocol. When physical  
bridging is used, the protocol must be set to 9-bit.  
Wired Media  
Earth fault detection is performed on the left port only. When a network Earth  
fault occurs, the trouble is reported on the node whose left port is connected to  
the earthed section.  
All 0.8mm2 wiring used Wired Media Cards must be shielded twisted-pair. All  
0.2mm2 (telephone cable) used must be twisted pair. When shielded cable is  
used, the shield must be terminated to chassis Earth on the left port only.  
All network wiring except the shield is supervised and power limited.  
When wiring leaves the building, 2081-9044 Overvoltage Protectors should be  
connected at the entry point. One overvoltage protector is installed where wiring  
leaves the building; another is installed where wiring enters the next building.  
Fiberoptic  
All fibre cables must be multimode, graded index type. ST style connectors must be  
used. No physical strain should be put on the cables. There must be no cable bends  
of less than a 50mm radius.  
Two methods are available for joining fibre cable. Splices provide a permanent, very  
low loss, fibre-to-fibre connection. Couplers provide temporary connection between  
two ST style connectors with a loss of 1.2dB. Both methods are permitted on a fibre  
network.  
Maximum line lengths for 50/125 and 62.5/125 cable are shown in Table 3-2.

capacitance or 84Ω/km resistance.  
Between any two connected network nodes, L+ of one node connects to R+ of the  
other, and L- connects to R-.

Step 4. Wiring Network Cards, Continued  
Fiber-Optic Wiring  
Connectors U1 (transmitter) and U2 (receiver) on the 4100-6057 Fiber-Optic Media Card  
are used to connect 4100-6014 NICs across parts of a network.  
Note: ST connectors with long strain relief boots must be used with the fiber optic  
cable.  
Fiber Optic  
Connection Types  
Dual Fiber Optic Cable Connections. The standard fiber optic connection between  
network nodes uses two fiberoptic cables, one for transmit and the other for receive. This  
connection allows for optimum communications distance.  
The available communications distance is determined by the properties of the specific  
fiber cable used. Distances can be determined using the information and examples shown  
below in Table 3-3.  
Between any two connected network nodes, U1 (transmit) on the Fiber Media card of one  
node is connected to U2 (receive) of the Fiber Media card of the other node, i.e., the  
fibers “cross over” between nodes.  
Single Fiber Optic Cable Connections. For applications where a single fiber cable is  
available, or where use of a single cable is desired, using a model 4190-9010  
Bi-Directional Coupler at each node combines the separate transmit and receive signals  
into a single path (refer to the requirements list).  
This connection allows use of a single fiber cable, but it does reduce communications  
distance as indicated in the information and examples shown below in Table 3-4.  
At each node, U1 (transmit) of the Fiber Media card must be connected to the transmit  
port of the coupler, and U2 (receive) to the receive port of the coupler.

4190-9010 Coupler  
Requirements  
The 4190-9010 Coupler is used with the 4100-6057 Fiber Optic Media Board, revision  
“C” or higher. Two 4190-9010 Bi-Directional Couplers are required per connection, one  
at each node.  
The 4190-9010 is equipped with type ST connectors. To make type ST to type ST  
connections, an ST to ST coupler, by others, is required. ST to ST Couplers are available

Refer to the guidelines and figures in this topic to use wired media cards.  
IMPORTANT: TB1 on the wired media card must not be used when it is  
connected to the 4100-6014 NIC.  
When the 4100-6056 (565-413) Interface Card is used with the 4100-6014  
Network Card, TB1 on the Interface Card cannot be used. Network wiring must  
be connected to the motherboard as shown.  
The shield should only be connected at one end of the line. The shield is  
connected to the left port.  
Each cable requires two ferrite beads, one at each end. Refer to Figure 5-1 for  
bead wiring. Beads can be ordered as 4100-5129 (set of three).  
When wiring leaves the building, 2081-9044 Overvoltage Protectors are  
required. One overvoltage protector is installed where wiring leaves the

SPS Specifications, Continued  
The bulk supply (rated at 9A max) which feeds 24V Sig, 24V Card, 24V Aux also  
supplies the SPS Card including the on board IDNet, and the battery charger. The  
charger is disabled during alarms so as to make the 9A available on the other busses.  
(See the following table for the SPS current).  
+24V Sig is used to supply the NACs. It can be made accessible for other use by  
configuring a NAC as an auxiliary power output (normally energized).  
The battery circuit is checked every 29 seconds. The battery test is programmed via  
custom control for a 1 hour test once per week.  
The battery is connected to the charger but is normally disconnected from the bulk  
supply. During mains fail or the 1 hour battery test, the battery gets connected to the  
bulk supply.  
The IDNet output is 30V in the normal condition so as to prolong battery standby.  
When it is necessary to activate large numbers of output devices on IDNet  
peripherals (such as piezo sounders), the output voltage is increased to 35V to  
provide sufficient voltage at the end of line to activate piezo sounders. The higher  
voltage state is an alarm condition for the purpose of standby battery calculation.

SPS Adjustments  
Adjusting Voltages  
There are two 4mm (i.e. small) potentiometers on the 4100-9848AU SPS, situated below  
the centre of the PCB. These are adjusted in the factory and typically will not need  
adjusting in the field.

Troubleshooting an SPS  
Overview  
This section contains explanations of fault messages associated with the SPS that may  
appear on the 4100U-S1 display. Heading text in the left margin shows the error message,  
while the paragraph next to it describes the likely cause of the message.  
“IDNet Power  
Monitor Trouble”  
There is no output voltage from the power supply. Refer to Chapters 2 and 5 for  
information on power supplies.  
“Extra Device”  
One or more extra devices, i.e., devices that have not been configured on the IDNet  
channel, are on the system. Only one message appears, regardless of the number of extra  
devices found.  
“Class A Trouble”  
There is an open circuit on the IDNet channel. A hardware reset of the system is required  
to reset the fault.  
“Earth Fault Search”  
Comes up during the Earth Fault Search diagnostic function. Once the search is initiated,  
the front panel display indicates how far the search process has progressed (10%, 25%…  
75%), and then shows the results of the search. The result either identifies the offending  
circuit or indicates that the earth fault could not be found. SPS circuits (IDNet, NAC, and  
aux power) are searched. System alarm and trouble processing is suspended during the  
search.  
“Short Circuit”  
“Channel Fail”  
Appears when a short circuit is detected on the IDNet channel. This status clears  
automatically when the short circuit is removed.  
Appears when at least one device on the IDNet channel has been configured, but no  
devices are communicating on the channel. This message does not appear if there are no  
configured devices on the IDNet channel.  
“No Answer/  
Bad Answer”  
Occurs when the 4100U-S1 is put into a diagnostic mode and finds a device not  
responding, or responding unreliably.  
“Output Abnormal”  
Occurs when 24 V is not present on TrueAlarm devices or when TrueAlarm sensor bases  
with relay driver outputs are not properly supervised or when isolator devices are in  
isolation mode.

The Alarm Relay Card  
Overview  
The Alarm Relay Card mounts on, and is driven by, the SPS. It has 3 relays, each  
providing one set of voltage-free contacts. It is fitted to the basic 4100U-S1 as standard.  
The relays are able to be configured under custom control, but the default operation is for  
system status, i.e. Fault (Trouble), Isolate (Supervisory), and Alarm, respectively. These  
are commonly used to drive the Brigade signalling device (ASE or PPU/AIU). See the  
next section for more details about Brigade Devices.

Notes  
The common contact of each relay has a transient suppressor to earth, and must not be  
used to switch voltages greater than its rating of 40V.  
The common contact is protected with a 3A fuse (5 x 15mm type).  
For the default configuration, the relays are normally de-energised and energise on  
Fault/Isolate/Alarm.  
The corresponding LED illuminates when the relay is energized.  
The relays may be configured under custom control to operate other than the default  
actions.  
Warning  
If relay RL3 is configured for operation other than Fault (Trouble), jumper P3 on the SPS  
must be shifted to positions 1-2 (top).

Brigade Interfaces  
Overview  
Format  
The Alarm Relay Card is typically used to provide a Brigade Interface. The default  
configuration is for the three relays to operate on Fault (Trouble), Isolate (Supervisory)  
and Alarm, respectively.  
These relays are normally de-energised and energise on the respective status. They have  
voltage-free contacts that are connected to two terminals and can be configured as  
normally open or normally closed by the positioning of links. Refer to the previous  
section for details.  
If a normally energized relay is required to provide activation on complete loss of system  
power (Standby), the Aux Relay on the SPS can be programmed as normally on and its  
contacts connected in series/parallel with the contacts of the Fault (Trouble) relay as is  
applicable, i.e., series for normally closed, parallel for normally open. Where the Brigade  
interface is powered from the 4100U-S1 and monitored by the central station, this is not  
typically required.  
Note that if the Aux relay is programmed as normally energised, de-energising on Fault, it  
cannot be used to replace the Fault relay on the Alarm Relay Card as the latter is link  
connected to a hardware signal of “SPS CPU Fault”, and signals “Fault” when the SPS  
loses communications with the CPU.  
Applications  
Kit Contents  
The 4100U-S1 has specific mounting doors for several types of signaling device. These  
must be obtained separately.

General Wiring  
The ASE or AIU/PPU should be powered from the fused DC distribution board on the  
power supply. It is recommended that the brigade device does not share its fuse  
protection with any other equipment, for reliability.  
The wiring between the brigade device and the 4100U-S1 should be routed neatly as  
shown in the following drawings, and secured in place with the cable ties and adhesive tie  
holders supplied with the kits.  
Fit the protective earth lead between the quick-connect tap on the brigade interface door  
and an unused stud in the lower right end of the expansion bay, using the nut and washers  
supplied with this kit.  
AIU/PPU Mounting  
The AIU or PPU must be obtained separately. The AIU is fastened directly to the spacer  
bracket on the brigade interface door by four screws supplied with the AIU. The PPU  
mounts on the spacer bracket using four screws and plastic standoffs supplied with this  
kit. See drawing 1901-267 sheet 2 for details.  
AIU/PPU Wiring  
The pre-fitted wiring must be connected to the 4100U-S1’s Alarm Relay Card terminals  
as shown in 1901-267 sheet 2. Set the three links on the Alarm Relay card to the NO  
positions for an AIU and the NC positions for a PPU. Note: the red wire has some extra  
length, for use in linking the terminals together as shown. Both AIU and PPU require  
extra wire links on the Alarm Relay terminals, and the PPU requires extra wire links on  
the connector strip on the door.  
ASE Mounting  
The ASE must be obtained separately. If it is supplied complete with a body, this must be  
removed before fitting the ASE to the door. The ASE is fastened to the brigade interface  
door with the two M4 screws and crinkle washers in the kit. The antenna socket should  
be fitted to the tab on the door below the ASE position. See drawing 1976-174 sheet 1 on  
page 4 and the ASE installation instructions for details.  
ASE Wiring  
The FP0740 ASE FAS module must be connected to the 4100U-S1’s Alarm Relay Card  
terminals and the 2 way ASE connector as shown in 1976-174 sheet 1. Set the three links  
on the Alarm Relay card to the NC positions.

General Field Wiring Guidelines  
General Guidelines  
All field wires must be 0.75 mm2 or greater cross section and comply with  
AS1670.1 and the wiring code.  
Conductors must test free of all earth leakage.  
All wiring must be done using copper conductors only, unless noted otherwise.  
If shielded wire is used,  
-
the metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained throughout the  
entire cable length.  
-
the entire length of the cable must have a resistance greater than 1 Megohm  
to earth ground.  
Underground wiring must be free of all water.  
Wires that run in plenum should be in conduit.  
A system ground must be provided for earth detection and lightning protection  
devices. This connection must comply with approved earth detection.  
Only system wiring should be run together in the same conduit.  
Use supplied ferrite beads with all SPS field wiring including the Aux 24V.  
Loop wires twice through the supplied ferrite bead(s) as shown in Figure 5-1.  
(Extra can be ordered as 4100-5129 – 3 beads).  
Wires go twice  
through (1 turn)

SPS NAC Field Wiring Guidelines  
Overview  
Each of the three NACs on the SPS has two pairs of driven outputs (A+/A-, B+/B-) which  
operate together.  
NAC B outputs have polarity reversal supervision and expect a 10k EOLR. Each  
connected device must have a suitably rated blocking diode. EOLRs are supplied fitted to  
the NAC terminals.  
NAC A outputs have an integral 10k to accommodate Class A (loop) wiring. Class A  
wiring is not mandatory under AS1670.1.  
Class B (string) wiring can only have one branch.  
The 3A max rating applies to each NAC, B + A outputs combined under alarm  
conditions. NAC load current may be displayed on the LCD.  
The Australian SPS has extra decoupling capacitors fitted to the NAC outputs, and cannot  
be used to drive the Simplex range of addressable appliances (Strobes).  
NACs may be programmed to be normally on to allow the terminals to be used as power  
supply outputs. See the SPS Auxiliary Power Wiring section following.  
Guidelines  
Review the following guidelines for NACs before you begin NAC field wiring.  
All wiring must be 0.75 mm2 to 4 mm2.  
All wiring is supervised and power-limited.  
The maximum alarm current is 3 A per circuit. The supervisory current is 2 mA  
at 24 VDC.  
The nominal supply voltage rating is 24 VDC, 2 V p-p ripple (maximum).  
The total available current from the SPS is 9A. Any current used for card power  
by modules plugged into the PDI, as well as any auxiliary 24 VDC current, must  
be deducted from the total 9A available current.  
Terminal designations “+” and “-” are for the Alarm state (ON), not the  
supervision state.  
Allocations  
The configuration templates supplied for use with the 4100U-S1 all have these default  
assignments of the NAC outputs, with corresponding Custom Control equations.  
NAC1 :  
Ancillary Control Facility (ACF), to control ancillary devices  
during an Alarm. This output can be isolated using the ACF Isolate  
control on the keyboard.  
NAC 2 :  
NAC 3 :  
Fire Bell, to operate a bell as required by AS4428.1. This output  
can be isolated using the Bells Isolate control on the keyboard.  
Warning System, to operate devices such as T-Gen 50. This output  
can be isolated using the Warning System Isolate control on the  
keyboard.

SPS NAC Field Wiring Guidelines, Continued  
Some or all of these output functions could be implemented using addressable  
devices or other relay modules instead, in which case the corresponding NAC output  
could be reassigned to other uses. The new configuration would require full testing  
of these functions to ensure compliance with AS 4428.1.  
Class A (loop) NAC  
Wiring  
To connect the SPS to reverse-polarity, non-addressable notification appliances using  
Class A wiring, read the following instructions and refer to the figure below.  
1. Route wire from the “B+”, “B-”, outputs on TB2 of the SPS to the appropriate  
inputs on a peripheral notification appliance. Use NAC1, NAC2, or NAC3 as  
required.  
2. Route wire from the first appliance to the next one. Repeat for each appliance.  
3. Route wire from the last appliance to the A+ and A- inputs on the same NAC  
circuit of TB1 of the SPS.  
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each NAC output you want to use.  
5. Leave the 10 K, ½ W, brown/black/orange resistor (378-030) on each the “B+”  
to “B-” terminals of each unused NAC. No external end-of-line resistor is  
needed for circuits in use.  
6. If the appliance/device to be used does not have an integral diode, a sufficiently  
rated blocking diode must be fitted between the incoming +ve wire and the +ve  
terminals of the device with cathode (stripe) to the device.

Using T-Gen 50 with 4100U-S1  
Overview  
AS 1670.1 requires fire alarm warning systems to produce sounds complying with  
AS 2220 or ISO 8201. One way of meeting this requirement in a 4100U system is to use  
a T-GEN 50 tone generator, which is capable of driving up to 50W of load on a 100V  
speaker line.  
The recommended version of the T-Gen 50 for use in 4100U-S1 is available as part 4100-  
0766K (see PID information in Chapter 1). This consists of a T-Gen 50 mounted on a  
metal bracket which is mounted into the expansion bay in the same way as a legacy 4100  
motherboard. This part code includes the necessary mounting hardware.  
The best place to mount this bracket is in the right-most free slot in the expansion bay,  
next to the mains socket bracket. The bracket should be installed with the T-Gen 50  
faccing to the left - this is “upside down” compared to some other uses of this bracket.  
Note also that the heat sink of the T-Gen 50 intrudes slightly into the space above the next  
slot to the left. This will probably clash with other motherboards or modules and make  
this slot unusable.  
Powering the T-Gen 50  
The T-Gen 50 must be continuously powered from 24VDC, i.e. not just during Alarm  
conditions, so that it can supervise the 100V speaker line.  
If the T-GEN 50 is powered from one of the outputs of the Fused Distribution Board  
PA0915, the maximum speaker load is reduced to 20W. More load than this will run the  
risk of blowing the 1A fuse on the Distribution Board. Do not fit a higher rated fuse to  
the Distribution Board, since this will not provide proper protection due to other  
protection devices in the power supply.  
If more output is required, power the T-GEN 50 directly from the AUX POWER  
terminals of the SPS power supply. This output is rated at 2A, which is just sufficient to  
drive one fully loaded T-GEN 50. However, this leaves no reserve for any other  
equipment to be powered from these terminals, e.g., a brigade signalling device.

An optional three-position control ME0460 (see part numbers in Chapter 1) allows T-  
GEN 50s to be switched from the front panel between automatic operation, being  
Isolated, or producing Evacuation tone, regardless of the state of other control inputs.  
Fitting an  
EvacuationControl  
With the control in the ISOLATE position, the T-GEN 50 will not respond to the ALM-  
input, or activate its FAULT output if a fault is present.  
With the control in the EVAC position, the T-GEN 50 will immediately produce  
Evacuation tone.  
Figure 5-6 shows how to connect an Evacuation Control to a T-GEN 50.  
The control can be fitted to an FP0935 or FP0937 4U Brigade Interface door as used in  
4100U-S1, or fitted to a 4100-1279 blank display module (requires a 9.5mm hole to be

SPS Auxiliary Power Wiring  
Overview  
The panel, battery-backed, unregulated dc bulk power is available from the SPS via the  
NAC and the 24V Aux power terminals. NACs can be configured as auxiliary power  
point type in the 4100U Programmer. All of these are power-limited.  
Guidelines  
Review the following guidelines before using the SPS for auxiliary power.  
Voltage rating: 24 VDC (nominal), 2 V P-P ripple (maximum).  
The total auxiliary current available for non-alarm loads is 5A. The total current  
available for the entire SPS is 9A, including NAC, auxiliary, and card power.  
The Auxiliary Power output is rated at 2A DC. Programming is required to activate  
this supply output.  
A Fuse Distribution board is fitted to the SPS bracket and wired to the Auxiliary  
Power output as standard. Each output from this board is protected by a 1A fuse. Do  
not fit heavier fuses than 1A since this may defeat the fuse protection. The combined  
output from the DC Distribution board is limited to 2A.  
All wiring is 0.75 mm2 to 4 mm2.  
All SPS powered field wiring requires a ferrite bead fitted (refer Figure 5.1).  
All wiring that leaves the building requires overvoltage protection. Install  
module 2081-9044 wherever wire enters or exits the building. A maximum of  
four 2081-9044 Modules may be connected to one channel.  
When a NAC is configured as an auxiliary power circuit, no end-of-line resistor  
is used.  
External power wiring is not supervised unless an end-of-line relay is wired, coil  
to auxiliary power, and Normally Open contacts are monitored by a system  
power point. Relay current must be considered as part of the load.

SPS Relay Wiring  
Overview  
The SPS has one programmable relay, Aux 1, with one set of voltage-free contacts (see  
below).  
The Alarm Relay 4100-6033 is fitted as standard to 4100U-S1. This has 3 relays, each  
with one set of normally open (or normally closed) contacts available on a screw terminal  
block (see Chapter 4).  
Aux 1 Relay  
The relay must be configured in the Programmer.  
The relay circuit is rated to switch 2A resistive or 1A inductive at 30VAC or 32VDC.  
Relay contacts are Form C voltage-free contacts (but with a 40V transorb from  
common to Earth). Do not switch voltages greater than this rating, or damage may  
result.  
When power through the relay contacts is provided by the SPS Auxiliary Power  
output, wiring is power-limited.  
The relay circuit is not supervised.  
Alarm Relay Card  
The three relays have default functions of Fault (trouble), Isolate (supervisory) and  
Alarm, and are typically used for Brigade Signalling (refer to Chapter 4 for jumper  
settings and other Brigade device information).

SPS IDNet Wiring  
Overview  
This section describes how the IDNet Channel on the SPS connects to addressable  
devices/detectors.  
The guidelines governing IDNet wiring guidelines are covered in Chapter 6, IDNet  
Installation.  
IDNet Wiring  
Up to 250 IDNet initiating devices are supported on the SPS IDNet channel. The SPS  
supports both Class A (loop) and Class B (string) wiring. Class A wiring is mandatory for  
connection to more than 40 devices.  
Class A wiring allows IDNet appliances to continue to communicate with the SPS even in  
the event of an open circuit somewhere in the loop. Class A wiring requires that two  
wires are routed from the SPS to each IDNet appliance, and then back again to the SPS.  
Class B wiring allows “T” tapping, and therefore requires less wiring distance per  
installation than Class A.  
Note that IDNet wiring does not require end-of-line resistors, because each IDNet  
appliance communicates directly to the SPS.  
Ferrite beads are required on the SPS IDNet cables (refer Figure 5.1). Refer to  
Chapter 6 IDNet Installation for the guidelines governing IDNet wiring.

Installing the IDNet Card onto the PDI  
Overview  
Use connector P2, labelled on the back side of the IDNet card, to connect to any of the  
four left-most PDI connectors as shown in the figure below.  
Note that the right-most two PDI connectors are obscured by the mains output bracket,  
and a T-Gen 50 bracket (if fitted).  
Fitting the IDNet card to the left-most position is recommended, since this will use space  
that cannot be used by legacy 4100 motherboards and daughter cards because of  
mechanical clashes with the LED/Switch controller(s) on the front panel.

Configuring the Card  
Overview  
Configuring the card consists of selecting the shield tie point, and setting the card address.  
Setting the Shield  
Tie Point  
If a shielded cable is used, connect the cable shield to the dedicated terminal on TB1 and  
use jumper port (P1) to select where the shield will be tied.  
Position 1 - 2 connects the shield to 0 V.  
Position 2 - 3 connects the shield to Earth.  
Setting the Address  
The card address is set on DIP switch SW1, which is a bank of eight switches (see figure  
below). From left to right, these switches are designated as SW1-1 through SW1-8. The  
function of these switches is as follows:  
SW1-1. This switch sets the baud rate for the internal communications line  
running between the card and the CPU. Set this switch to ON.  
SW1-2 through SW1-8. These switches set the card’s address within the  
4100U-S1. Refer to the table in Appendix A for a complete list of the switch  
settings for all of the possible card addresses.  
Note: You must set these switches to the value that was assigned to the card  
by the 4100U Programmer.  
Dip Switches SW1-2 through  
SW1-8 set the Card Address.

Wiring to IDNet Devices  
Overview  
Up to 250 IDNet slave devices, such as smoke detectors and manual call points, can be  
connected to the IDNet card using Class A (loop) or Class B (line) wiring, with the  
following restrictions.  
Class A wiring allows the devices to communicate with the IDNet card even in the event  
of an open circuit somewhere in the loop. Class A wiring requires that two wires are  
routed from the IDNet card to each IDNet device, and then back again to the IDNet card.  
Under AS1670.1 every group of 40 devices (or less) must be separated by a Comms  
Isolator.  
Class B wiring allows “T” tapping, and therefore requires less wiring distance per  
installation than Class A. IDNet wiring does not require end-of-line resistors, because  
each IDNet device communicates directly to the IDNet card. A maximum of 40 devices  
is allowed to be connected with Class B wiring.  
See Appendix F for a list of compatible devices and their ratings.  
Use ferrite beads on wiring. See Figure 5.1.  
Guidelines  
Shielded cable is recommended in electrically noisy environments.  
IDNet cabling should not be run adjacent to other cabling, especially non-fire  
system cabling, such as mains.  
The limiting factors on the length of the twin core cable connecting the IDNet  
devices to the IDNet card are cable capacitance (attenuates the superimposed  
coms signal) and resistance (causes voltage drop of the supply voltage and  
comms signals).  
The maximum capacitance of 0.58uF core to core must also include the mutual  
capacitance of core to earth. The latter is greatly increased when shielded cable  
is used.  
Rather than do voltage drop calculations, the following simplified rules can be  
applied.  
125 devices or less: allow a maximum of 40Ω to any device (Class B), and  
in any loop (Class A).  
250 devices: allow a maximum of 20Ω in any loop.  
125 to 250 devices: linear de-rating between 40Ω and 20Ω can be applied.  
Calculate RL = 20Ω x (1 + (250-n)/125) where RL is the allowable line  
resistance and n is the number of devices used.  
Example: for 200 devices the maximum resistance allowed may be extended  
from 20Ω to: 20Ω + 20Ω x (250 – 200) / 125 = 28Ω  
Use the resistance specifications that apply to the cable being used. The values  
used in this manual allow 39Ω per km for 2 core of 1 mm2 for copper wire at  
49°C. (A commonly used value is 34Ω per km for 2 core of 1 mm2 at 20°C).  
See Table 6.2. Note that this includes both cores.  
Sounder bases and 6 point I/O modules do not draw the alarm load from the  
loop, but are powered from separate 24V terminals.  
Where devices, e.g. sounder bases, are wired from a 24V source (e.g. supplied  
by 24V Aux Power or a NAC), and are in more than 1 zone, the power cable  
must also be isolated between zones by a 4090-9117AU Power Isolator Module.

Installation Checklist, Commissioning & Maintenance  
Introduction  
The 4100U-S1 is tested in the factory and is loaded with a basic configuration.  
When the panel arrives on site the installer must unpack and check the panel, mount the  
cabinet, any additional cards, and check the configuration before applying power.  
A registered electrician must connect the mains. The panel should then be powered up  
and checked for correct operation.  
With the mains turned off and the batteries disconnected, the field wiring is checked and  
connected to the field terminals on the various cards.  
The panel should then be powered up and re-programmed to accommodate all the  
connected field devices. Faults in the field wiring, misaddressed detectors / devices and  
mismatched detectors / devices will be displayed on the LCD. These should be cleared  
one at a time and then the system (panel plus connected devices) should be  
commissioned.

Alignment & Adjustment  
Overview  
All the 4100U-S1 cards and modules in the base panel are tested and aligned in the  
factory before being supplied to the customer. The only field adjustment that may be  
necessary is to set the battery charger voltage. (Note this has been set and should not  
need re-adjusting).  
R341 Battery Charger Voltage  
Should the battery charger voltage need adjusting, the method is as follows:  
1.  
2.  
Run the system with the batteries connected and the door closed for at least 30  
minutes to allow components to "warm up" (the longer the better).  
Calculate the required no-load battery charging voltage by taking 27.3V for  
20°C and subtracting 0.1V for every 3°C above 20°C, or adding 0.1V for every  
3°C below 20°C.  
3.  
4.  
With the system not in Alarm, disconnect the batteries.  
Measure the voltage at the battery terminals on the SPS and adjust this to the  
voltage calculated in Step 2 by turning pot R341 on the SPS.  
5.  
Re-connect the batteries.

Appendix C  
Checking System Wiring  
Overview  
This appendix contains instructions on how to use a volt/ohm meter to check system  
wiring.  
Using the Volt/  
Ohm Meter  
When using the volt/ohm meter to check each circuit, make sure to adhere to the notes  
and instructions below.  
Notes:  
Ensure that no power is applied to the 4100U-S1 fire alarm panel  
and that all wiring is properly connected (terminal blocks,  
LED/switch module ribbon cables, etc.).  
Use the earth stud in the control panel for all measurements to  
ground.  
Each circuit must test free of all grounds and extraneous voltages.  
Use the volt/ohm meter as described in the steps below to check each  
circuit type.  
A. No Voltage  
1. At the control panel, locate wires from each initiating device  
or indicating appliance circuit.  
2. Check each circuit for extraneous voltage by setting the  
volt/ohm meter to 300VAC. Place the meter probes so that  
the black probe is on the “-” wire and the red probe is on the  
“+” wire. Meter readings must show 0 volts (see Figure C-  
1A).  
3. Set the volt/ohm meter to 60 VDC and repeat step 2. The  
meter must read 0 volts (see Figure C-1A).  
4. Set the volt/ohm meter to OHMS x 10 and place the meter  
probes as described in step 2. Check the circuits using the  
resistance measurements in Table C-1. Locate and correct  
any abnormal conditions at this time. Note: If the reading  
indicates an open circuit in an initiating circuit, make sure the  
smoke detector heads are properly mounted and seated. The  
circuit may be open if smoke detector power is not present,  
and if separately powered 4-wire devices are used.  
B. Open Circuit  
5. Check all other system wiring to verify that each circuit is  
free of grounds and extraneous voltages.  
C. Short Circuit

Appendix D  
Earth Fault Detection  
Overview  
This appendix contains instructions on how to use the Earth Fault Search feature of the  
4100U-S1 diagnostics menus.  
Earth Fault Search is a diagnostic search of external field wiring that assists in locating  
circuits with earth faults. An earth fault occurs when an electrical circuit is shorted to  
ground. Although most circuits operate with a single earth fault, multiple earth faults can  
disable communications. Because of this, earth faults must be located and repaired.  
Earth Fault Search is conducted by the 4100U-S1. The diagnostic may be activated using  
either the front panel interface or the Computer Port Protocol via a service port.  
The 4100U-S1 supports two types of Earth Fault Searches:  
Location Search. Searches all circuits at a location, such as the main panel.  
IDNet Channel Search. Selectively enables channel isolators and repeaters to  
detect which segment of the channel wiring has a fault.  
D-1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
General Guidelines  
Review the guidelines below before initiating an Earth Fault Search.  
The Detect Earth Fault jumper must be installed at the SPS for earth fault detection to  
occur.  
Only one power supply per location is configured to detect earth faults.  
For more reliable earth fault searching:  
-
-
Use IDNet channel isolators to isolate channel faults to a specific  
segment of channel wiring.  
Set IDNet channel isolator addresses to the lowest IDNet device  
addresses, increasing with communication distance from the IDNet  
card.  
If an earth fault is suspected on the IDNet channel with multiple isolators, start  
an IDNet Channel Search before doing a Location Search. If the Location Search  
is done first, it may not yield the correct location (this is a by-product of the  
extended amount of time required for the IDNet channel to initialize during a  
Location Search).  
Earth Fault Search detects only one fault at a time. Multiple faults require fixing  
the first fault and then repeating the search.  
The 4100U-S1 suspends normal operation for the duration of the Earth Fault  
Search.  
Location Earth Fault Searches optionally allow exclusion of auxiliary power  
circuits from the search, so that modules connected to the 24 V auxiliary outputs  
can remain in operation during the search.  
The option to exclude auxiliary power circuits does not apply to IDNet devices,  
because the entire IDNet communication channel is isolated during each search.  
During the search, all related troubles are suppressed and a single trouble  
pseudo-point is activated (P438).  
At the completion of the search, all slaves are restarted and normal panel  
operation resumes.  
Earth Fault Search is only supported by new 4100U modules. 4100 Legacy (slot  
format) modules are not supported, with the following exceptions:  
-
IPS for earth fault detection (not recommended). The Earth Fault  
Search may fail because the isolation circuits of some 4100U slaves  
(such as the 4100U telephone slave) do not support IPS.  
IMPORTANT: The fire panel cannot provide fire protection during an Earth  
Fault Search.

initiate, display its option (one of the three shown above) and press the Enter button. Each  
option has its own topic, below.  
Search Option A:  
Select Location  
If you select the Location Search menu item, a list of cards to search becomes available.  
Use the Next and Previous buttons to scroll through the list.  
If you find a card that you suspect is connected to a circuit with an earth ground, press the  
Enter button when that circuit is shown.  
Before you can start the search, the Aux Power Select option comes up.  
1=Exclude  
2=Include  
Exclude AUXPWR circuits from search?  
The number you select, 1 or 2, determines whether the auxiliary power circuit on the  
selected board is searched for earth grounds. If you exclude the auxiliary power circuit  
from the search, the circuit will continue to operate normally.  
Press 1 (or just press the Enter button) to exclude the card's auxiliary power circuits from  
the search, or press 2 to remove auxiliary power circuits from normal operation and  
search them for earth grounds.

This option simply displays the last Earth Fault Search result. If there has been no search  
since the last system startup, or if the last search was aborted, the panel displays  
"RESULT NOT AVAILABLE."  
Completing the  
Search  
When a Location or IDNet Channel Search completes, all of the following occurs:  
All slaves automatically reset.  
The 4100U-S1 turns off the Earth Fault Search trouble pseudo-point.  
The panel displays the specific fault information.  
The panel can return only one Earth Fault Search result at a time. If another fault exists, it  
can only be found using the diagnostics after the first fault is cleared. Faults will continue  
to appear, one by one, until each one has been found and corrected.  
IMPORTANT: Once you have been directed to an earth fault and corrected  
it, it is recommended that you restart the system (warm- or cold-start).  
Continue to the next topic for a list of search results and their required actions.

Search Results  
Overview  
There are several types of results that can display at the end of an Earth Fault Search. This  
section covers all types of results.  
IMPORTANT: Once you have been directed to an earth fault and corrected  
it, it is recommended that you restart the system (warm- or cold-start).  
Non-Point Faults  
A non-point fault indicates a ground that cannot be traced to an addressable point (for  
example, a shield or an audio riser). The earth fault in this example is not occurring at the  
audio controller but somewhere in the riser:  
CARD 17, ANALOG AUDIO CONTROLLER  
AUDIO RISER 1  
EARTH FAULT  
Non-point faults can be displayed for each of the following items:  
Channel Output (IDNet Card; MAPNET Interface Card)  
RUI Channel (Master Controller Card). (Not used in 4100U-S1).  
Channel 1 to 3 (TrueAlert Power Supply). (Not used in 4100U-S1).  
Point Faults  
A point fault indicates an earth fault at a specific addressable point. The example below is  
a location earth fault search result, where 3 is the card address, 10 is the point number,  
and 0 is the  
sub-point number (not used):  
CARD 003, FLEX 50 AMPLIFIER  
3-10-0  
EARTH FAULT  
Point faults can be found at any point in the system that connects to field wiring.  
Some IDNet channel point fault examples are illustrated below.  
Fault not cleared. The message below shows that an IDNet channel that has been  
isolated for fault detection still has the earth fault:  
CARD 2, IDNET CARD (250 POINTS)  
M1, EARTH FAULT SEARCH FAULT CLEAR FAIL  
Fault between channel output and first isolator. The message below shows a fault  
between the IDNet channel output and the first isolator on the line:

was turned on:  
Point Faults,  
Continued  
CARD 2, IDNET CARD (250 POINTS)  
M1-3, IDNET ISOLATOR EARTH FAULT  
Fault Not Found  
If the message in the lower right corner of the LCD reads FAULT NOT FOUND (for a  
Location Earth Fault Search) or FAULT CLEAR FAIL (for an IDNet Channel Earth Fault  
Search), it means the search could not locate the fault, but it acknowledges that a fault  
exists.  
There are three main possibilities behind this message:  
There are one or more internal wiring earth(s) in the system.  
There are system defects (hardware or software, such as a failed isolation  
circuit).  
An intermittent earth exists in the system (it occurs inconsistently and is  
therefore difficult to track via diagnostics).  
The cable to the service port may be grounded due to the remote PC's 3-pin plug.  
Run the laptop on batteries only, or, use an isolating transformer to the PC to get  
rid of this earth.  
The fault is on an auxiliary output that was excluded from the search.  
The problem may have to be found manually and then corrected in some of the above  
scenarios.  
No Fault  
If the message in the lower right corner of the LCD reads NO FAULT, it means the  
IDNet channel search could not locate any earth faults on that channel.  
Result Not Available  
If the message in the lower right corner of the LCD reads RESULT NOT AVAILABLE,  
it means there is no result to view. This message comes up only when you have selected  
"Last Search Result" on the menu.

Appendix H  
Power Supply & Battery Capacity Calculations  
Power Supply  
Part of the system design includes calculating that the quiescent load and the  
alarm load are each less than the rating of the power supply.  
Note that the quiescent load includes devices such as door holders that are  
normally energized, but get switched off during alarm.  
The SPS rating is included in the specifications in Chapter 6.  
Note that the system current for both the quiescent and the alarm state can be  
viewed on the front panel by use of the System Current status point under Card  
Status for the SPS.  
Refer to AS1670.1 Section 8.2.3 for a definition of the loads to be calculated.  
Battery Capacity  
Battery capacity requirements are specified in AS1670.1, 2004, Section 3.16.4  
with an example shown in Appendix C1.  
To calculate the necessary capacity for the 4100U-S1 system:  
Fill out the table on the next page with the quantities of each type of module  
or device.  
For each device, calculate the standby current and alarm current.  
Sum the standby and alarm columns to get the total standby current (I(S))  
and alarm current (I(A)).  
Calculate the required battery capacity from this equation:  
Battery Capacity (Ahr) = (I(S) x 24 + 0.5 x I(A)) x 1.2  
Note: I(A) allows for two zones in Alarm (including Ancillary loads).  
The factor of 1.2 in Battery Capacity equation allows for battery efficiency  
reduction.  
Take the calculated value of Battery Capacity and choose the next largest  
standard size of battery. The 4100U-S1 cabinet can accommodate 2 x 40Ahr  
batteries.  
The following batteries are compatible with the 4100U-S1.
