Introduction to the 4100U Fire Alarm System  
Introduction  
The 4100/4100U is an expandable fire alarm system that can be used as a standalone  
system with one host panel, or as a wide-ranging system with several remote cabinets,  
with or without multiple host panels. This chapter is an overview of standalone,  
MINIPLEX, and network 4100 system concepts.

System Configurations  
Overview  
The 4100U is available as a standalone system with one host panel, or as an expansive  
system with several remote back boxes, with or without multiple host panels. The type of  
configuration used depends on the size of the site into which it is being installed.  
The following types of configurations are offered:  
Standalone. Comprised of one FACP and its assorted warning devices, initiating devices,  
and signaling line circuit devices.  
MINIPLEX. A standalone system plus remote transponder cabinets, which allow for  
additional slave modules to be used. Typically used for multi-level buildings and small  
multi-building applications.  
Network. A multi-FACP system connected by network cards. Each panel maintains the  
status and control of its own circuit points while monitoring and controlling activity at  
other locations. Network nodes may perform similar tasks, or may be dedicated to  
specific functions.  
This chapter outlines the fundamental concepts of each configuration.

Standalone Configuration  
Overview  
The standalone version of the 4100U is used for smaller or single-building applications. A  
standalone system is ideally placed into 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 standalone 4100U can be expanded  
into one of the larger systems described later.  
System Design  
The standalone 4100U uses one FACP (one, two, or three bays) containing the following:  
CPU  
System Power Supply for the 4100U (Universal Power Supply for the 4100)  
Optional slave cards  
All appliances and devices are connected to that one FACP, as shown in Figure 1-1.

MINIPLEX Configuration  
Overview  
The MINIPLEX version of the 4100 Fire Alarm System, which is designed for  
moderately larger applications than the standalone configuration, allows up to 1000  
monitor and/or control points and 2000 annunciator points to be controlled by a single  
FACP.  
Like the standalone system, only one CPU is used. Remote Unit Interface (RUI) data, and  
optionally power is distributed from the host panel to remote boxes called transponder  
cabinets. The exact system design varies, depending on whether the system is a 4100 or a  
4100U:  
4100U: Transponder interface cards (TICs), located in transponder cabinets, take  
the RUI data directly from the CPU motherboard and distribute it to modules nearby,  
thereby expanding the system’s status from standalone to MINIPLEX.  
4100: Remote interface cards (RICs), located in transponder cabinets, take the RUI  
data and optionally power from the remote unit interface (RUI) card in the host panel  
and distribute it to modules nearby, thereby expanding the system’s status from  
standalone to MINIPLEX.  
System Design  
The MINIPLEX 4100 FACP must contain the following:  
CPU  
System Power Supply for the 4100U (Universal Power Supply for the 4100)  
4100 only (non-4100U): Remote unit interface (RUI) Card  
Optional slave cards  
Each transponder cabinet, meanwhile, must contain a Transponder Interface Card (TIC)  
and any number of optional slave cards.

MINIPLEX Configuration, Continued  
RUI Communication  
The 4100 internal comms bus may be used to carry data from the CPU in the main cabinet  
to expansion equipment in a co-located cabinet. 4100 data from the CPU may be routed to  
remote cabinets (RTUs) in a MINIPLEX system by using the external RUI comms bus.  
An RUI line, routed from either the CPU Motherboard in the 4100U, or the RUI card in  
the 4100, allows the data to travel long distances. Once the RUI line terminates at a  
remote cabinet, the TIC (4100U) or RIC (4100) in that cabinet distributes the CPU’s data  
to the other modules within the cabinet.  
Power has to be supplied locally within each RTU, or routed from the main FIP.  
Figure 1-2, below, outlines this process in a typical MINIPLEX setup.

Network Configuration  
Overview  
The 4100 can be expanded to a network system by using network interface cards (NICs).  
When a NIC is installed into a 4100 host panel, it is used to connect to other network  
nodes. Nodes may consist of other host 4100 panels, or they may be completely different:  
Graphical Command Centers (GCCs), and Visual Command Centers (VCCs) are all  
examples of what could be used as nodes. A node is a self-sufficient CPU that controls  
appliances and devices, which also has the capability of controlling and communicating  
with other nodes.  
The network configuration supports two prevalent architectures (or wiring  
configurations): hub (or ring), or star. A networked system can also use a combination of  
the two.  
Hub and Star  
Configurations  
The hub configuration consists of a main loop with nodes connected in a radial manner.  
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. A combination of the two styles is illustrated

Network Configuration, Continued  
Connecting Loops  
Network loops can be joined via physical bridge cards. There may be no more than two  
Style 7 network loops (two hub configurations) connected in tandem. For every two  
loops that are interconnected (using one physical bridge), there can be a maximum of  
three physical bridges used in a star configuration. See Figure 1-4.

System Design  
To be used as a network node, a 4100 panel must contain the following:  
CPU  
System Power Supply  
4100 Network Interface Card  
Optional slave cards  
Network  
Communication  
Network communication is achieved via 4100-6014 or 4100-6035 Network Interface  
Cards (NICs). Each network node requires a NIC. Once the FACP is a network node, it  
may be programmed to be fully in control of other nodes, or to be fully passive, or  
anywhere in between.

Chapter 2  
Installing 4100U FACP Components  
4100U cabinets are available in one-, two-, and three-bay sizes. Each can be equipped  
with a solid or perspex door. This chapter describes how to mount all types of 4100U  
cabinets to a wall, and how to mount system card bays into the cabinets, modules to bays,  
etc.  
Introduction  
FACPs are assembled to order within the factory. Steps 2 to 6 below are therefore not  
typically required in the field, but are included in case of in-field system expansion.  
The section Introduction to FACPs describes the various components that make up the  
FACP.  
The assembly drawings 1976-136, 1976-137 are included in the appendix of this manual  
for reference.

Introduction to FACPs (4100U)  
Overview  
4100U FACPs cabinets contain the CPU, operator interface, system power supply (SPS),  
backup batteries, and any additional modules that the panel requires. The FACP is the  
central hub (often referred to as a host panel) of a standalone or MINIPLEX fire alarm  
system. In a networked system, the FACP can be connected to other system FACPs, so  
that each host panel is a node on the network.  
CPU Bay  
In the standard (USA) version of 4100U the CPU bay contains an SPS, the Master  
Motherboard with CPU Daughter card, but no PDI to which 4” x 5” cards (e.g. IDNet  
card) can be fitted. Also, it has the Operator Interface (I/F) on its front, so no switch/LED  
display modules can be fitted to it.  
In the Australian version the SPS is fitted to a bracket behind a side-hinged 4U door that  
has the Operator I/F on it. The Master Motherboard (i.e. CPU Motherboard) is fitted to  
the right hand side of an expansion bay mounted directly below. This bay has a PDI  
fitted so can house 4”x 5”cards and Switch/LED Display Modules.

Operator Interface  
The operator interface lets a user operate the panel. It provides alarm, trouble, and isolate  
status alerts, and lets the user review historical logs and perform diagnostics.  
Figure 2-3. Operator Interface  
Additional CPU  
Bay Modules  
The CPU bay can be equipped with many additional types of modules. The cards listed  
below are limited to the CPU bay only.  
4100-6030 Service Modem Card. CPU mezzanine card. Provides a connection to remote  
PCs for diagnostics and programming purposes. (Not approved for use in Australia).  
4100-6014 Modular Network Interface Card (NIC). A daughter card that mounts to the  
CPU motherboard. Performs 4100 networking operations. May be installed with the  
4100-6056 Wired Media Card and/or the 4100-6057 Fiber Media Card.  
Expansion Bays  
An FACP always has the CPU in the first bay, but it may have further expansion bays.  
Expansion bays contain a variety of additional modules that the system might require.

System Power  
Supply (SPS)  
In the USA, a number of variants of power supply are available, e.g. SPS, RPS, XPS,  
XCharger each with different portions of circuitry (eg NACs, Battery Charger, IDNet)  
fitted or not fitted. In Australia, only one variant (SPS) is currently available, and it has  
hardware and software that are specific to Australia. This unit is used as the main power  
supply, but may also be fitted directly to a card bay as an expansion supply.  
The system power supply (SPS) 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 detect, 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.

Introduction to FACPs (4100U), Continued  
System Power  
The FACP 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 24Vdc bulk power on the SPS is unregulated, and is divided into three feeds, i.e. 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 batteries only get connected to the bulk supply when the  
mains supply fails. The charger has two programmable options of rating, 1.4A for 6-  
18Ahr (called little-uns), and 3.3A for batteries above 18Ahr (called big-uns).  
The “heavy” 24V Signal feed is only accessible via the NACs on the SPS, or via a wire  
harness.  
IMPORTANT: AC power must be provided to the 4100U from a dedicated  
branch circuit.  
The Power  
Distribution  
Interface (PDI)  
In expansion bays, 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 motherboards are used, they must be  
mounted over the PDI using metal standoffs.  
Standards cards, e.g. IDNet, plugged onto the PDI access only the 24V Card supply.  
If an XSPS is plugged onto the PDI, then the 24V Signal Bus is also powered. This is  
required for the 4100MXP which uses card power to power its electronics, but signal  
power to supply the 40V loop.

Step 1. Mounting Cabinets (4100U)  
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 for the height requirement and minimum access requirements.  
In general, 18U – 28U cabinets will need to be wall mounted. Mounting holes and cabinet  
dimensions are shown in drawing 1919-22b.  
Door opening left/right should be specified with the order. The cabinets are symmetrical,  
top to bottom, so door opening can be swapped by removing the equipment, rotating the  
cabinet 180°, then re-fitting the equipment.  
Step 2. Mounting Card Bays to Cabinets (4100U)  
Overview  
FACPs are ordered from the factory with bays and cards fitted as per the panel order  
spreadsheet.  
Additional mounting bays may be ordered as KT0447 which includes the 19” rac  
mounting brackets and earth loom.  
Attach each mounting bracket to the two studs in each front corner to achieve the format  
shown below. Fit M6 cage nuts to the appropriate 19”rack holes, then attach the bay  
using M6 countersunk screws.

Step 3. Configuring Cards (4100U)  
Overview  
The CPU, SPS, and all other modules to be mounted in the FACP cabinets 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.  
Master 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.  
Position 2 – 3: SHIELD to Earth. Set to this position only if the system uses a  
TrueAlert Power Supply.  
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) attached to CPU motherboard (default).  
Position 2 – 3: RS-232/2120 card attached to CPU motherboard.  
Master Controller  
Daughter Card  
Configuration  
The master controller daughter card must be jumpered as follows:  
P1 is used for engineering diagnostics (COMLAB).  
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.  
Position 2 – 3 : OFF.  
SPS Configuration  
The SPS must be configured as follows:  
SW1: Using DIP switch SW1, set the SPS device address. Use the address table in  
Appendix A.  
P2: If the SPS IDNet outputs are being used, you may change P2 to configure the IDNet  
shield connection.  
Position 1 – 2 (bottom) : Connects the shield to 0 V (default).  
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).  
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.  
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.

Step 3. Configuring Cards (4100U), Continued  
PDI Configuration  
P4/P5: The PDI can be configured to draw its power from different sources via P4 and  
P5.  
To draw power from an XPS on the PDI, set jumpers on P4 and P5 to position 2  
– 3.  
To draw power from P1 (from the previous PDI or SPS), set jumpers on P4 and  
P5 to position  
1 – 2 (default).  
To remove power from the PDI, remove the jumper from P4.  
Configuring Other  
Cards  
Refer to the appropriate installation instructions to configure other cards that are located  
in CPU and expansion bays. The 4100U ones are included in this manual. Refer to  
Appendix D for a list of publications.  
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 FACP also have to be connected together. Read this section to ensure that  
cards and bays are interconnected. Refer also to drawings 1976-136 and 1976-137.  
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.  
The 4-wire coms 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 cards are not required. It is recommended  
to store these spare harnesses in case of future requirements.

Step 4. Interconnecting Modules and Bays, Continued  
Card  
Use the following directions to connect the CPU to the SPS and other motherboards.  
Interconnections in  
the CPU Bay  
1. Connect P3 on the SPS to P1 on the CPU motherboard using the 8 wire harness  
with eight-position Molex minifit connector (provided).  
2. Make sure the 10 way, right angle header, connector P3 on the CPU is secured to  
J1 on the next motherboard to the left. Repeat this for the third (leftmost)  
motherboard, and on if applicable.  
The power distribution interface (PDI) mounted to the back of each expansion cabinet  
carries 24V Card power and data to each 4”x 5” card.  
Card  
Interconnections  
Within Expansion  
Bays  
Refer to “Step 7: Installing Modules into Expansion Bays (4100U)” for instructions on  
mounting 4”x 5” cards to the PDI. Also bear in mind the following variations:  
In a remote expansion cabinet, a transponder interface card (TIC) requires additional  
interconnections. This occurs in MINIPLEX systems. Refer to Chapter 3.  
Regular motherboards require non-PDI interconnections to each other and to the  
CPU. Refer to “Step 5: Installing Modules into Expansion Bays (4100U).”  
Basic Bay-To-Bay  
Interconnections  
The 4 wire harness 734-008 is used to carry 24V Card power and coms from bay to bay.  
Connector P1 on the PDI receives power from the previous PDI or from P6 on the SPS  
(or alternatively from P7, P8 on the CPU Motherboard). P2 on the PDI is used to carry  
power and coms to a 64/64 Controller. P3 is used to carry power and coms to the next  
PDI.  
Jumpers P4 and P5 on the PDI are set to positions 2-3 (right) to provide card power  
to the bay only if an XPS is fitted to the PDI. Jumpers P4 and P5 are set to positions  
1-2 (left) to provide card power to the bay from P1 on the PDI.  
Note: Interconnections can become more involved if 4100 motherboards are  
used. Refer to “Step 5: Installing Modules into Expansion Bays (4100U)”  
if this is the case.

Motherboards  
Panels with motherboards on the left side of the expansion bays require some non-PDI  
connections. If you need to connect a harness to a motherboard, refer to Figure 2-8 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 an adjacent bay.  
If the adjacent bay is a CPU bay with no additional motherboards, 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.  
If the adjacent bay is an expansion bay or a CPU bay with additional motherboards,  
connect the harness to the P2 and P3 connectors of the motherboard installed in the  
leftmost slot. Connect the harness as follows:  
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

Step 5. Installing Modules into Expansion Bays (4100U)  
Overview  
This section contains guidelines and instructions on installing 4”x 5” cards and traditional  
motherboards into 4100U card bays.  
IMPORTANT: This section applies to aftermarket modules for expansion bays  
only. If you do not need to install any aftermarket modules at all,  
and if you have followed Steps 1 through 6, 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  
an expansion bay.  
Each 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 eight 4” x 5” modules. A double-size module, such as  
the expansion power supply (XPS), takes up two blocks of space as shown below.  
The Australian SPS takes up four blocks of space (note, the double sized XPS is not  
currently available for Australia).  
Cards should be added from right to left if an XSPS is fitted.

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 is instead routed across the boards  
via ribbon cable from one board to the next.  
Up to eight 2” (51 mm) x 11 ½” (292 mm) motherboards can be installed in an  
expansion bay if no 4”x 5”modules are installed in the bay, and if the pins on the  
left connector (usually P1) on the leftmost motherboard are removed.  
Motherboards are mounted on top of the PDI in expansion bays. The data and power  
that would normally be bussed via the PDI is instead routed across the boards via  
ribbon cable from one board to the next.  
Motherboards should be added from left to right.  
Relay motherboards must be the rightmost motherboards.  
In the first bay of an FACP, the CPU motherboard is the right most motherboard, and  
other motherboards are fitted to its left side.  
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 per Fig

The power distribution interface (PDI) is mounted to the back of each expansion cabinet.  
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 an  
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 3-24.  
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 top of the card to the standoffs with two #6 torx screws and washers.

Step 6. Installing LED/Switch Modules into Expansion Bays (4100U)  
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 4100 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 (typically in positions 3 and 4). The varieties  
of modules are as follows:  
4100-1288 LED/Switch Controller Card with mounting plate.  
4100-1289 LED/Switch Controller Card (no mounting plate; mounts on extra  
space of 4100-1288).

LED/Switch  
Controller Card  
The LED/switch controller card is a 4100 slave that mounts behind two LED/switch  
modules. The LED/switch controller handles up to 64 switches and 64 LEDs on the  
modules and communicates their status to the 4100 CPU. When a button is pressed on a  
module, the controller acknowledges the signal and reacts according to how that switch  
was configured via the 4100 Programmer.

LED/Switch  
Controller Card,  
(continued)  
If more than 64 LEDs or 64 switches are used, a second controller may be installed.  
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).  
LED/Switch Modules  
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 event programmed for that button  
occurs.  
Configuring the  
LED/Switch  
Controller Card  
The 64/64 LED/switch controller requires physical configuration, but the LED/Switch  
modules do not. Configuration consists of setting jumper P1 and setting the device  
address. Device Address is covered in Appendix A.  
Activating the  
Communication  
Loss Feature  
If the LED/switch controller is used in a remote annunciator, it can make the LED/Switch  
modules annunciate a communication loss condition. If communication loss occurs when  
this setting is activated, LED 1 of the first connected display card illuminates, and the  
piezo on the LED/switch controller sounds. The indication is silenced via the  
corresponding switch (switch 1 on the first display card).  
Use jumper port P1 to activate or deactivate the communication loss feature.  
Position 1 - 2 deactivates the feature (default).  
Position 2 - 3 activates the communication loss feature.

Introduction to MINIPLEX Systems (Non-4100U)  
Overview  
The 4100 MINIPLEX Fire Alarm System uses transponder cabinets containing remote  
interface cards (RICs) to extend power and communication across large areas.  
MINIPLEX transponders allow the system to provide applications for up to 1000 monitor  
and/or control points and 2000 annunciator points (see note). Using 4100-style serial  
communications, up to 31 distributed MINIPLEX transponder locations are possible for  
initiating device circuit cards, MAPNET II/  
TrueAlarm addressable communications interfaces, notification appliance circuit cards,  
LED/switch controls, auxiliary relay control cards, power supplies, and audio amplifiers.  
By selecting the required combinations of modules and mounting MINIPLEX  
transponders at the appropriate building locations, wire quantities are significantly  
reduced for all monitor and control functions. Since power for the local modules is  
provided from the local power supply, the wiring from the control panel need only be  
separate twisted, shielded pairs for data, voice, and telephone.  
Notes:  
One point consists of one LED or one switch on an LED/switch module, one  
LED driver output on a graphic driver, or one switch input on a graphic switch  
input module.  
Up to 32 modules can be controlled by one MINIPLEX transponder.

MINIPLEX System Guidelines (Non-4100U)  
Overview  
The rules on this page apply exclusively to MINIPLEX systems. Review each guideline  
before installing a MINIPLEX 4100 system.  
Guidelines  
The Style 4 RUI card supports MINIPLEX transponders and 4602/4603 serial  
annunciators on the same signaling line circuit.  
Up to 4 RUI cards in the 4100 Control Panel can be used for distributing transponder  
wiring in different directions or for supporting different wiring requirements (such as  
using a Style 7 RUI for serial annunciators).  
Up to 31 MINIPLEX transponders can be controlled from the 4100 Control Panel,  
and can be distributed as required among the RUI cards.  
“T” tapping is not allowed unless less than 40 detectors/addressable devices are  
connected to the MINIPLEX.  
Wiring from RUI cards is a minimum of 18 AWG (0.75sqmm) twisted, shielded pair.  
The maximum wiring distance from the 4100 RUI card to a MINIPLEX transponder  
is 2500 feet (762 m). For Style 4 wiring, this can be extended to 10,000 feet (3 km)  
maximum if “T” tapping is used.

Installing Modules into Cabinets (Non-4100U)  
Overview  
This section contains guidelines and instructions for mounting the RUI and RIC II  
modules into 4100 cabinets.  
The RUI motherboard mounts into the CPU bay or, if necessary, an expansion bay.  
The RIC II mounts into expansion bays only.  
Guidelines  
Review the following guidelines before installing a motherboard into a cabinet.  
If a power supply is installed in the bay, it must be installed on the far right of  
the bay and any relay modules must be installed in the slots immediately to its  
left.  
Relay cards must be installed in the rightmost possible slots. This is necessary  
to allow for the proper routing of non-power limited wiring, which could be  
connected to a relay module.  
Installing the  
RUI Motherboard  
Mount the RUI motherboard (562-799 or 562-856) in a master controller bay as described  
below.  
1. Orient the motherboard with the connector labeled J1 on the right and the header  
labeled P1 on the left.  
2. Match the connector on the previously installed motherboard with the pins on  
the motherboard you are installing. Slide the motherboard to the left until the  
pins are completely inserted in the connector of the previously installed  
motherboard. If you are installing the leftmost board, the pins will remain  
unconnected.  
3. Secure the motherboard to the chassis with four torx screws.  
An RUI motherboard can be installed in any of the remaining  
CPU or 575-274  
slots, or in an expansion bay. Relay motherboards must be

MINIPLEX Wiring (Non-4100U)  
Overview  
The RIC must be connected to the host panel via RUI cabling. This section explains how  
to wire the two together, and how to set up a system with multiple transponders connected  
to the same host panel.  
Wiring  
Configurations  
RUI cabling can be accomplished either through Class A or Class B wiring.  
Class A wiring allows transponder cabinets to communicate with the FACP even in the  
event of an open circuit somewhere in the loop. Class A wiring requires that two wires are  
routed from the CPU motherboard to each RIC, and then back again to the CPU  
motherboard.  
Class B wiring allows “T” tapping, and therefore requires less wiring distance per  
installation than Class A. Additionally, Class B wiring does not require end-of-line  
resistors, because each RIC communicates directly to the CPU.  
Make sure these prerequisites are accounted for before wiring:  
AS1670 allows the loss of a maximum of 40 detectors/addressable devices to be  
caused by a single fault.  
All transponder cabinets are installed within 2500 feet (762 m) of the FACP.  
Conductors test free of all grounds.  
All wires are between 12 (3.309 mm2) and 18 AWG (0.8321 mm2), or as the  
local code dictates.  
Class A Wiring  
To connect the RUI card to RICs using Class A wiring, read the following instructions  
and refer to Figure 3-7, on the next page.  
1. Route wire between 0.75 mm2 and 4 mm2 from the + (TB1-8) and - (TB1-6)  
terminals on the Comms “A” block of the 562-856/565-217 RUI card to the  
TB1-8 (+) and TB1-6 (-) terminals on the 565-233 RIC.  
2. Route wire from the first RIC to the next one. Repeat for each transponder

Introduction to MINIPLEX Transponders (4100U)  
Overview  
The 4100U MINIPLEX system is comprised of a host panel containing everything  
required in a standalone cabinet (see Chapter 1), plus:  
One or more remote MINIPLEX transponder cabinets  
A transponder interface card (TIC) in each transponder cabinet  
This section describes each component in turn.  
Transponder  
Cabinets  
RUI Communication wiring from the RUI module in the host panel extends to a  
transponder interface card (TIC) in a remote transponder cabinet. The transponder cabinet  
has at least one TIC module in it, and can have one, two, or three bays.  
Transponder  
Interface Cards  
(TICs)  
The following TICs, audio risers, and audio riser controller modules are available for  
4100U and/or 4100U MINIPLEX ® systems:  
Basic Transponder Interface Card (TIC) Module  
Local Mode TIC Module (not currently available in Australia)  
Transponder Interface Cards (TICs) receive data from 4100U host panels allowing remote  
locations to perform fire alarm functions. TIC modules are optionally available with local  
mode operation that provides basic (degraded mode) system functions in the event of a  
communication loss with the master panel. TICs receive communications from the 4100U  
host panel using Remote Interface (RUI) communications with either Style 4 or Style 7  
wiring.  
Basic TICs  
The basic TIC is an addressable device that contains an RUI input, and a port for  
connecting to other transponder modules.  
The basic TICs use the same board, with some variations:  
The basic TIC is an addressable device that contains RUI outputs, an audio riser  
output, a user interface output, and a port for connecting to motherboards.

The Local Mode TIC  
(Not currently  
available in  
The local mode TIC contains an RUI input, port for connecting to other transponder  
modules, and terminal block for connecting to an optional Local Mode Controller. Local  
Mode Controllers are mounted remotely from the transponder. Installation instructions are  
supplied with the controller.  
Australia).  
Local mode operation allows a TIC to provide life safety operations in the event of a  
communication loss with the master controller. More specifically, this provision means  
that fire alarm inputs and outputs within the transponder cabinet can still work in a limited  
capacity to allow continued functioning of local initiating devices and notification  
appliances connected to the TIC. Local mode is considered a “degraded” mode of  
operation because full fire alarm system functionality is not guaranteed.  
Because the TIC is a slave module that occupies an RUI address, it can indicate a trouble  
condition to the master controller in the event of a hardware failure. When local mode is  
initiated, all slave devices locally connected to the TIC are notified by the TIC that local  
mode is taking effect. From that point until communication is restored to the master  
controller, the TIC  
”group-polls” all connected local slaves, and the slaves respond only in the event of an  
alarm input activation. Other status changes, including troubles, are not reported.

MINIPLEX System Guidelines (4100U)  
Overview  
The rules on this page apply exclusively to MINIPLEX systems. Review each guideline  
before installing a MINIPLEX 4100U system.  
All wiring is 18 AWG (0.8231 mm2) (minimum) and 12 AWG (3.309 mm2)  
(maximum).  
Guidelines  
All wiring is supervised and power-limited.  
All wiring that leaves the building requires overvoltage protection. Install  
module  
inside an UL-Listed electrical box wherever wire enters or exits the building. A  
maximum of four 2081-9044 Modules may be connected to one channel. The  
2081-9044 is rated for 200 mA (maximum).  
AS1670 allows the loss of a maximum of 40 detectors/addressable devices to be  
caused by a single fault.  
For Style 4 operation:  
-
-
-
-
The maximum distance to any device is 2,500 feet (762 m).  
“T” taps are allowed.  
The total maximum distance (including all “T” taps) is 10,000 feet (3,048 m).  
Maximum allowed line-to-line capacitance (“+” to “-” terminals) is 0.58 uF.  
For applications with shielded wire, be sure that the total capacitance from line  
to line plus the shield to either line is no more than 0.58 uF.  
For Style 6 or Style 7 operation, the maximum loop distance is 2,500 feet (762  
m). “T” taps are not allowed.  
RUI comms are wired to remote cabinets from the CPU motherboard to one of  
the following transponder interface cards: 4100-0620 (566-093) or 4100-0625  
(566-094).  
Annunciators and transponder interface cards support Style 7 operation when the  
system is wired Class A.  
The master control panel must be a 4100U Fire Alarm Control Panel.  
The Style 4 RUI card supports MINIPLEX transponders and 4602/4603 serial  
annunciators on the same signaling line circuit.  
Up to 4 RUI cards in the 4100U Control Panel can be used for distributing  
transponder wiring in different directions or for supporting different wiring  
requirements (such as using a Style 7 RUI for serial annunciators).  
Up to 31 transponders can be controlled from the 4100U Control Panel, and can be  
distributed as required among the RUI cards.

Configuring Cards (4100U)  
Overview  
The TIC and all other cards to be mounted in the transponder cabinet and attached  
expansion bays must be configured to operate correctly in the system via their DIP switch  
and jumper ports. The CPU motherboard may have to be configured as well.  
CPU Motherboard  
DIP Switch  
P9 on the CPU motherboard determines whether the RUI SHIELD signal is connected to  
24 C or Earth.  
Position 1 – 2: SHIELD to 24 C (default).  
Position 2 – 3: SHIELD to Earth.  
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.  
TIC Configuration  
The TIC must be assigned a device address via DIP switch SW1. Refer to Appendix A for  
the address switch table.  
Configuring Other  
Cards  
Refer to the appropriate publication to configure other cards that are located in the  
transponder cabinet and attached expansion bays.

RUI Wiring (4100U)  
Overview  
The TIC must be connected to the host panel via RUI cabling. This section explains how  
to wire the two together, and how to set up a system with multiple transponders connected  
to the same host panel.  
Wiring  
Configurations  
RUI cabling can be accomplished either through Class A or Class B wiring.  
Class A wiring allows transponder cabinets to communicate with the FACP even in the  
event of an open circuit somewhere in the loop. Class A wiring requires that two wires are  
routed from the CPU motherboard to each TIC, and then back again to the CPU  
motherboard.  
Class B wiring allows “T” tapping, and therefore requires less wiring distance per  
installation than Class A. Additionally, Class B wiring does not require end-of-line  
resistors, because each TIC communicates directly to the CPU.  
Note: Use supplied ferrite beads with TICs. Loop wires once through the  
Figure 4-4. The  
Ferrite Bead  
supplied ferrite bead(s) as shown in Figure 4-4.

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 master. The NIC connects FACPs in a network, allowing for  
communication between each panel via fiber, modem, or twisted shielded pair wire.  
The NIC is designed to be connected in a point-to-point arrangement, so that one wire  
fault does not cause the entire system to fail. The point-to-point 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 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.  
Up to two media boards can be plugged into 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).

There are two shunt jumper ports on the NIC card that need to be set: P3 and P4.  
P3: Determines the NIC data transmission rate, 57.6 kbits/second or 9600 bits/second.  
Position 1 – 2 (the right two pins) or no pins jumpered: 57.6 kbits/second.  
Position 2 – 3 (the left two pins): 9600 bits/second.  
P4: Determines the data protocol, 8-bit or 9-bit, that the NIC card is using.  
Position 1 – 2 (the right two pins) or no pins jumpered: 9-bit.  
Position 2 – 3 (the left two pins): 8-bit.  
All settings are labeled on the card.  
Wired Media Card  
Jumper Settings  
P2: Tells the system which wire type is to be used.  
Positions 1 – 2, 5 – 6, and 7 – 8: 18 AWG shielded, twisted pair wiring.  
Remove all jumpers to specify 24 AWG twisted pair telephone cable wiring.  
IMPORTANT: When using the wired media card, the Earth fault detection is  
performed on the left port only. Remove R1 (1 Ohm resistor)  
from the media card on the right port.

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 three 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 across  
cards.  
Connect P1 on the wired media card, or J1 on the modem or 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. This section contains guidelines and  
instructions for NIC wiring.  
Wiring Guidelines  
Refer to the following guidelines whenever field wiring the NICs.  
Network nodes must be wired right to left port, regardless of the media type  
selected.  
Style 7 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  
Style 7 (Style 4) operation. A second fault (except an Earth fault) will result in  
the network dividing into two separate networks.  
Style 4 is achieved by wiring the nodes in a linear fashion. Style 4 networks are  
not fault-tolerant and a single fault (except an Earth fault) will result in the  
network dividing into two separate networks.  
Earth fault detection is performed on the left port only. When a network Earth  
fault occurs, the trouble is only reported on the node whose left port is connected  
to the span.  
All 18 AWG (0.8231 mm2) wiring used with 4100-6056 Wired Media Cards  
must be twisted-shielded pair. All 24 AWG (0.2047 mm2) (telephone cable) used  
with 4100-6056 must be twisted pair. When shielded cable is used, the shield  
must be terminated to chassis Earth on the left port only.  
It is permissible to use mixed media in a network. For example, some spans may  
be “wired media” while others are optical fiber or telephone modem.  
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 modem  
media or physical bridging is used, the data rate must be set for 9.6 kbps).  
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 modem  
media or physical bridging is used, the protocol must be set for 8-bit).  
All network wiring except the shield is supervised and power limited.  
When wiring leaves the building, 2081-9044 Overvoltage Protectors are required.  
One overvoltage protector is installed where wiring leaves the building; another is  
installed where wiring enters the next building.

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 are to 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 fiber optic 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 6-3.  
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 6-4.

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

least 150 percent of the total required by all of the power supplies in the  
system.  
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.)

SPS Specifications, Continued  
+24V Sig is used to supply the NACs. It can be made accessible by  
configuring a NAC as an aux power output (normally energized). The PDI  
has a 24V Sig bus that is only powered when an SPS is plugged directly on  
to it. (Not in standard configuration). The 4100 MXP is the only Australian  
approved card that takes power from this bus. All other cards draw power  
from +24V Card.  
The battery circuit is supervised every 29 seconds. The battery test (custom  
control) is for 1 hour once per week.  
The battery is connected to the charger but is normally disconnected from the  
bulk supply. During mains fail, and the 1 hour battery test, the battery gets  
connected to the bulk supply.  
The IDNet output is 30V in the normal condition as is used 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 the piezo.  
The higher voltage state is an alarm condition for the purpose of standby  
battery calculation.

The range of possible temperatures under which the SPS may function are between 0° C  
and 50° C (120° F).  
The SPS operates normally under non-condensing humidity conditions up to 93% with  
relative humidity at 32° C.  
SPS Configuration  
Overview  
This section contains information about SPS jumpers, DIP switches and potentiometers.  
Jumper Settings  
P2: If the SPS IDNet outputs are being used, you may change P2 to configure the IDNet  
shield connection.  
Position 1 – 2 (bottom  
Position 2 – 3 (top): Connects the shield to earth ground.  
): Connects the shield to 0 V (default).  
P3: City Card and Relay Card operation  
Position 1-2 (top): Install in pos. 1-2 only if a relay card 4100-6033 is installed and  
has relay 3 programmed for operation other than "Fault (Trouble)"  
Position 2-3 (bottom): (default) For use with 4100-6033 if relay 3 is programmed for  
"activate on fault (trouble)" operation. (This option is used for Brigade connection)  
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.  
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.  
Setting the Device  
Address  
Refer to Appendix A to set the device address for the SPS with DIP switch SW1.  
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.  
If it is required to adjust them, turning the potentiometer clockwise increases the voltage.  
R341 Battery Charger Voltage  
Adjust this potentiometer to achieve a charger voltage of 27.3V ± 0.1V at 20°C.  
(Allow -36V/°C for temperatures different to 20°C).  
R342 Voltage Measurement Calibration  
Adjust this potentiometer to match the measurement of charger voltage on the panel LCD  
with that on a calibrated voltmeter measuring the charger output. Use the “Card  
Status”option of the menu. Match the two readings to within 0.05Vdc.

Troubleshooting on SPS  
Overview  
This section contains explanations of fault messages that may appear on the 4100U  
display when using the SPS. 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 6 for  
information on power supplies.  
Extra Device  
Appears if one or more extra devices (i.e., devices that have not been configured for the  
IDNet channel) are one the system. Only one message appears, regardless of the number  
of extra devices found.  
Class A Trouble  
There is an open on the IDNet channel. A hardware reset 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 along 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 is detected on the IDNet channel. This status clears automatically  
when the short circuit is removed.  
Appears when each device on the IDNet channel has been configured, and when none of  
the 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 4100 is put into a diagnostic mode and finds a device not responding, or  
responding unreliably. Refer to the 4100U PC Programmer Programming Manual (574-  
849) for information on how to perform this diagnostic.  
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.  
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.

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.  
The common contact is protected with a 3A fuse.  
For 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 default.  
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).

General Field Wiring Guidelines  
General Guidelines  
Make sure these guidelines are accounted for before wiring:  
All field wires must be 0.75 mm2 or greater and comply with AS1670.1 and the  
wiring code.  
Conductors must test free of all grounds.  
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.  
In areas of high lightning activity, or in areas that have large power surges, the  
2081-9027 Transient Suppressor should be used on monitor points.  
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 7-1.  
(Extra can be ordered as SX0005.)  
Wires go twice  
through (1 turn)

SPS NAC Field Wiring Guidelines  
Overview  
Each of the 3 NACs 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.  
NAC A outputs have an integral 10k to accommodate Class A (loop) wiring. Class A  
wiring is not mandatory under AS1670.1.  
The 3A max rating applies to each NAC, B + A outputs combined. NAC load current  
may be read 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.  
NACs may be programmed to be normally on and the terminals 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 shall 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 2.03  
mA at  
24 VDC.  
The nominal voltage rating is 24 VDC, 2 V p-p ripple (maximum).  
The total available current from the SPS is 9 A. 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 9 A available current.  
Terminal designations “+” and “-” are for the alarm state not the supervision  
state.

SPS NAC Field Wiring Guidelines, Continued  
Class A 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 (between 0.75 mm2 and 4 mm2) 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 configured..  
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 to the device.

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 (1 pair only, ref fig 7-4). NACs not configured  
as switched outputs may be configured as auxiliary power point type in the 4100  
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 is 5 A. The total current available  
for the entire SPS is 9 A, including NAC, auxiliary, and card power.  
All wiring is 0.75 mm2 to 4 mm2.  
All SPS powered field wiring requires a ferrite bead (ref fig 7.1).  
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 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.  
Programming is required for the dedicated Auxiliary Power output (TB3).  
The following devices may be connected to the 2 A Auxiliary Power:

SPS Relay Wiring  
Overview  
The SPS has one programmable relay, Aux 1, with one set of voltage-free contacts (see  
below). It also has provision for mounting a 4100-6033 Alarm Relay that has 3 relays,  
each with one set of normally open (or normally closed) contacts available on a screw  
terminal block (see fig 6.1).  
Aux 1 Relay  
The relay must be configured in the Programmer.  
The relay circuit is rated to switch 2 A at 30 VAC or 32 VDC, resistive load.  
Relay contacts are Form C voltage-free contacts (but with a 40V transorb from  
common to Earth. Do not switch voltages greater than the rating, or damage may  
result.  
When power through the relay contacts is provided by the SPS 2 A Auxiliary Power,  
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 chpt 10).  
The relays may be configured by the Programmer for alternate functions.  
If used as Brigade relays, the jumper must be fitted to the bottom position on P3 on  
the SPS. If Fault (trouble) is programmed for an alternate function it must be fitted  
to the top position.  
Only one pair of contacts is available for each, and is configured as normally open  
(NO) or normally closed (NC) by fitting a jumper on the adjacent headers P1  
(Alarm), P2 (Isolate) and P3 (Fault). Use top position for NC and bottom position  
for NO.  
The relays are each fuse protected (fuse 5 x 15mm, rating 3 A).  
Relays are not supervised.

SPS IDNet Wiring  
Overview  
This section describes how the IDNet on the SPS connects to addressable  
devices/detectors.  
The guidelines governing IDNet wiring guidelines are covered in chpt 8, 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 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 Class B 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 (ref Fig 7.1). Refer to chpt 8  
IDNet Installation for the guidelines governing IDNet wiring.

Configuring the Card  
Overview  
Configuring the card consists of selecting the shield tie point, and setting the device  
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 device 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 4100 communications  
line running between the card and the 4100 CPU. Set this switch to ON.  
SW1-2 through SW1-8. These switches set the card’s address within the  
4100 FACP. 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 assigned to the card by the  
4100 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 this way.  
See Appendix F for a list of compatible devices and their ratings.  
Use ferrites. See Fig 7.1.  
Guidelines  
Shielded cable is recommended in electrically noisy environments.  
IDNet cabling should not be run adjacent to other cabling, especially non-fire  
system cabling, e.g. mains.  
The limiting factors of the 2 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 (see notes following), the following  
simplified rules are applied.  
Allow a maximum of 40to any device (Class B), and in any loop (Class A)  
with 125 devices or less.  
Allow a maximum of 20in any loop with 250 devices.  
Linear de-rating between 40and 20may be applied between 125 devices and  
250 devices. Use RL = 20x (1 + (250-n)/125) where RL is the allowable line  
resistance and n is the number of devices used. E.g. for 200 devices the  
maximum resistance allowed may be extended from 20to: 20+ 20x (250  
– 200) / 125 = 28Ω  
Use the resistance specifications that apply to the cable being used. The values  
used in this manual allow 39per km for 2 core of 1 mm2 for copper wire at  
49°C. (A commonly used value is 34per km for 2 core of 1 mm2 at 20°C).  
See Table 8.1. 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.

in alarm).  
2. The minimum voltage allowed at the furthest device to guarantee operation is  
24.9Vdc. The  
IDNet boosts its output voltage from nominal 30V to nominal 35V during alarm.  
To connect the IDNet card to devices using Class A wiring, read the following  
instructions and refer to the figure below.  
Class A Wiring  
1. Route wire between 0.75 mm2 and 4 mm2 from the IDNetB+, IDNetB- outputs  
on TB1 of the IDNet card to the appropriate inputs on a peripheral IDNet device.  
2. Route wire from the first IDNet device to the next one. Repeat for each  
appliance.  
3. Route wire from the last IDNet device to the IDNetA+ and IDNetA- inputs on

The 4100MXP  
The 4100MXP is a 4” x 5” card, similar to the IDNet, but allows the 4100U to  
communicate with a Loop of MX devices. The firmware in the 4100U sees the  
4100MXP as an IDNet, and all the MX devices are matched to the nearest Simplex  
device.  
Introduction  
The main difference of 4100MXP from IDNet is that it has a nominal 40V loop supply  
voltage and is capable of supplying up to 1A of loop current.  
Power Connection  
The power for this loop supply is drawn from the 24V Signal bus, which is only present  
on the PDI when an XSPS is directly attached to it.  
Details of the 4100MXP is provided in manuals LT0313 and LT0314.

Overview  
The 4100U can connect to PCs running important utilities, such as diagnostics,  
programming, CPU firmware downloading, and channel monitoring. It connects to PCs  
running all of these utilities via the service port on the CPU daughter card. When a PC is  
located remotely from the FACP, the 4100-9832 Service Modem is used.  
Software Modes  
There are three basic software modes that the service port or service modem can be used  
to connect to:  
Service and Diagnostics Mode  
Data Transfer Interface Mode  
Master Bootloader Interface Mode  
Each mode is described below.  
Service and Diagnostics Mode. The default functionality when a PC is connected to the  
FACP. On a PC, this mode provides application startup messages, an ASCII interface to a  
UI command set for diagnostics, and event reporting. The PC must be running terminal  
emulation software (e.g., Hyperterm). Connection to a PC is made via serial port or

Summary Of Australian Version Specifics  
Overview  
The Australian fire alarm standards differ from those in the USA. Shipping costs from  
USA to Australia are significant, and the Australian market is small compared to the USA  
market. It is therefore necessary to:  
have an Australian specific panel format that differs from the standard USA panel  
format;  
have some Australian specific components;  
limit the number of system components available in the Australian version.  
AS4428  
Requirements  
The 4100U Operator Interface does not comply with the AS4428.1 requirements for an  
FF (Firefighter Facility) that uses only an alphanumeric display for alarm zone status  
indication. The basic firmware of 4100U does not accommodate zones as described in  
AS4428.1. The standard SPS (System Power Supply) does not have the required charger  
and battery supervision and test facilities. Therefore the following are required for an  
Australian 4100U.  
Use a different Operator Interface front label (overlay) and keypad with “Trouble”  
changed to “Fault”, “Supervisory” changed to “Isolate”. This overlay is also smaller  
and has different text in the instructions on the bottom.  
Use an Australian version of the message library with “Trouble” changed to “Fault”,  
“Supervisory” changed to “Isolate”.  
Configure the programmable control keys and indications on the Operator Interface  
with the functions shown in Figure 2-7.  
Fit 8 Switch/16 LED Red/Yellow modules such that there is one switch plus one red  
and one yellow LED per zone to give individual zone isolate and alarm indications.  
Configure zone and battery test functionality in custom control.  
The custom control programming requirements are covered in Appendix B.  
Use an Australian version of the SPS (with a modified pcb and firmware). Because of  
low quantity, only one format is available, and this excludes the standard XPS (2 slot  
wide). The SPS communicates with the CPU Card. Note that in a Brigade connected  
FIP, the SPS controls the Brigade Interface relays. If the CPU Card fails, or if the SPS  
CPU fails, the Fault (Trouble) relay turns on. This watchdog action provided by the  
SPS is statutory.

Australian Panel Format  
Overview  
The main difference with the Australian panels is that they are assembled in the  
Australian (Tyco) range of rack cabinets.  
Australian / USA  
Differences  
Some further specific differences follow:  
Only the Expansion Bay is used, with the Controller CPU and Motherboard mounted  
in the right hand side of the first one. The standard US Controller Bay is not used.  
The Operator Interface is fitted to an Australian specific 4U hinged bracket mounted  
above the first bay.  
Australian specific bay mounting brackets and trims are used. This includes the  
standard range of 19” rack mount panels and brackets.  
Only one version of SPS is available. This mounts on a specific bracket and also to an  
expansion bay, and is unique to Australia.  
Only one version of IDNet card is used, ie the 4100-3101.  
Two of the addressable modules were modified specifically for AS4428, i.e. 4090-  
9117AU Addressable Power Isolations, and the 4090-9120AU 6 Point I/O.  
Other cards / modules not used in Australia include the large range of Evacuation  
products and some modems.  
4100U/4100A  
Differences  
Standard 4100 motherboards and cards fit in a 4100U bay. The following items however,  
do not fit:  
4100 Switch/LED display modules;  
The range of Australian brackets that mount to the front of a 4100 bay. This includes  
some EWIS products, Brigade interface brackets, T-Gen bracket, and printer.  
The metal bracket that mounts into a 4100 bay (as does a Motherboard), and houses:  
the 25W and 50W amplifiers; the T-Gen; two MiniGens; the 1948 24V 2A PSU; or  
the Powerblock PSU.  
A revised version of this bracket has been designed to mount the T-Gen, two  
MiniGens or the 1948 PSU into a 4100U bay. It does not, however, take the two  
amplifiers. The Powerblock. PSU is not available in this form.  
Note that although 4100 cards fitted to motherboards, and the bay mounting brackets, can  
be fitted in directly behind Switch/LED modules, they cannot be fitted behind the 64/64  
Switch/LED Controller mounted to the inside of the bay door. This is typically mounted  
behind the LED/Switch Modules fitted to the 3rd and 4th positions from the left.

4100U Fan Control Module  
Overview  
Labeling  
ME0456 is a 4100U style Switch/LED display module specifically designed for fan  
control. It complies with the requirements of AS1668.1, 1998. It has rotary switches and  
LEDs for 4 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, as per the standard, are  
permanently marked on the faceplate label.  
The labeling 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. as required for damper  
controls.  
The name area accommodates 3 rows of 6 letters at 5mm.  
A “soft” version of this label is available on the TSP website 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 Expansion bay door, from the  
front, by the studs on the module with the nuts and washers 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 (SX0039).  
Programming  
The Module is programmed as a standard 8 Switch/16 LED module. Up to 4 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 1. The other 4 LEDs are not fitted so  
must not be programmed.

Brigade Interfaces  
Overview  
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.  
The connection drawings for the Centaur ASE, Western Australia AIU and Queensland  
PPU are included in the appendix.  
Format  
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 Chapter 6 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 (ie series for normally closed, parallel for normally open). Where the Brigade  
interface is powered from the system power and monitored by the central station, this is  
not typically required.  
Note that the Aux relay programmed as normally energised, de-energising on Fault  
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”.  
Applications  
Standard rack mounting, 3U, Brigade Interface brackets are available as follows. FZ9028  
includes the wiring loom. KT0199 requires KT0207 to provide the wiring loom with the  
encapsulated Interface (FP0740).  
Where there are space limitations, eg in the 18U cabinet, an A5 document holder  
(KT0469) can be fitted to the 3U ASE Bracket, or the 3U AIU/PPU bracket. At 220mm  
wide, this document holder is only half the width of the standard one that requires a whole  
3U trim.  
KT0199 19”, 3U ASE Mounting Bracket  
KT0207 ASE FAS Interface Loom  
FZ9028 19”, 3U AIU/PPU Mounting Bracket and Loom  
Connection for the ASE is shown in drawing 1963-62.  
Connections for the AIU and PPU are shown in drawing 1901-267 sht2.  
For the AIU (Western Australia) the links on the Alarm Relay Card are fitted for normally  
open contacts. For the PPU (Queensland) and the ASE (most other territories) the links  
are fitted for normally closed contacts.

Installation Checklist, Commissioning & Maintenance  
Introduction  
When a branch designs a system and orders a 4100U panel, a “Configuration Sheet” is  
prepared. The factory builds the panel to the configuration sheet. This includes fitting,  
connecting and configuring cards and modules.  
The factory programs and tests the panel to the configured sheet.  
The CPU Card and any 4100 style (legacy) cards that are fitted to motherboards are then  
removed and packaged with the panel for shipping.  
When the panel arrives on site the installers must unpack and check the panel, mount the  
cabinet, refit any packaged 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,  
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 cards and modules (pcbs) are tested and aligned in the factory before being  
supplied to the customer or fitted to a FIP. 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 approximately 0.1V for every 3°C above 20°C, or adding  
approximately 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 and adjust to the voltage calculated  
in Step 2 by turning pot R341.  
5.  
Re-connect the batteries.

Appendix A  
The Device Configuration DIP Switch  
Overview  
Addressable cards include a bank of eight DIP switches. From left to right (see Figure A-  
1, below) these switches are designated as SWx-1 through SWx-8. The function of these  
switches is as follows:  
SWx-1. This switch sets the baud rate for the internal 4100 communications line  
running between the card and the CPU. Set this switch to ON.  
SWx-2 through SWx-8. These switches set the card’s address within the 4100  
FACP. Refer to Table A-1 for a complete list of the switch settings for all of the  
possible card addresses.  
Note: You must set these switches to the value assigned to the card by the  
4100 Programmer.  
DIP Switches SWx-2 through  
SWx-8 set the Card Address.

Appendix B  
Programming Requirements  
Introduction  
This appendix identifies the programming that is required to comply with AS4428.  
It does not provide equations or detail of programming. The separate 4100 Programming  
Unit Manual tells how to use the PC-based 4100U Programmer.  
In this Chapter  
Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.  
Topic  
See Page #  
Required Features  
The following is a list of functions that must be programmed under custom control. Refer  
to Fig 2-7. Functionality must comply with AS4428.1, and be as described in the  
Operator’s manual LT0351.  
Individual zone alarm indication, flashing until isolated, steady when isolated.  
Common Zone Alarm indication, flashing when any zone in alarm is un-isolated,  
steady when all zones in alarm are isolated.  
Individual zone isolate pushbutton and indication.  
Zone Alarm Test pushbutton and indication.  
Zone Fault Test pushbutton and indication.  
Warning System Isolate pushbutton and indication.  
Ancillary Control Function and Isolate pushbutton and indication as required.  
Weekly 1 hour battery test.  
Fault indication after 8 hours of isolate.  
The panel format is different to that on the programmer because the CPU card is fitted  
on the rhs of the first expansion bay, and extra cards may be fitted to the left of it.  
The US options for power supply and AVF are selected, not the Canadian ones.  
Features that do not comply with AS4428 must not be enabled, e.g. Alarm cut-out  
times.  
Notes  
Features that are statutory in AS4428 must not be pass-code protected, e.g. zone  
isolate, zone test (Fault and Alarm).

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 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 300 VAC. 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 D-  
1A).  
3. Set the volt/ohm meter to 60 VDC and repeat step 2. The  
meter must read 0 volts (see Figure D-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 D-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 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 FACP. The diagnostic may be activated using  
either the front panel interface or the Computer Port Protocol (CPP), via a service port.  
The 4100U supports two types of Earth Fault Searches:  
Location Search. Searches all circuits at a location, such as a transponder or the  
main panel. For the purposes of Earth Fault Searching,  
-
A location is composed of a group of slaves connected to each other via  
4100 Comm (local RUI).  
-
-
The main panel is defined as all slaves local to the Master CPU.  
A transponder denotes all slaves associated with a single Transponder  
Interface Card (TIC)/Local Mode TIC slave.  
IDNet Channel Search. Selectively enables channel isolators and repeaters to  
detect which segment of the channel wiring has a fault.  
-
-
Earth faults are detected by one of the following:  
A single designated power supply at a location. The power supply that  
detects the fault is designated via a jumper setting on the power supply  
slave. For any given location, only one power supply should detect  
earth faults.  
-
Each 4009 IDNet NAC Extender on an IDNet channel.  
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 each SPS, RPS, TPS, IPS, or  
4009T 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 a Firefighter Telephone NAC for each telephone riser connection to  
a transponder.  
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). Note: The 4009 IDNet NAC Extender has a common ground  
fault trouble that reports to the panel without running the Earth Fault Search.  
Earth Fault Search detects only one fault at a time. Multiple faults require fixing  
the first fault and then repeating the search.  
The FACP 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:  
-
-
MAPNET channel isolation during location search  
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.

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 FACP turns off the Earth Fault Search trouble pseudo-point.  
The panel displays the specific fault information.  
The panel can only return one Earth Fault Search result at a time. If another fault exists, it  
can only be found via 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 ground 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 ground 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:  
Shield (Flex 50/100 W Amplifier)  
Audio Riser (Digital./Analog Audio Controller; Local Mode Transponder; may  
also annunciate as "DAR SECONDARY" (Digital Audio Riser Secondary) on  
transponder)  
Remote Mic 1 and Push-to-Talk line (Digital./Analog Audio Controller) (other  
remote mics are not supported)  
Channel Output (IDNet Card; MAPNET Interface Card)  
RUI Channel (Master Controller Card)  
Channel 1 to 3 (TrueAlert Power Supply)  
Point Faults  
A point fault indicates a ground at a specific addressable point. The example below is a  
location earth ground 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:  
CARD 2, IDNET CARD (250 POINTS)

4009 IDNet NAC Extender/TrueAlert Addressable Controller faults. The message  
below shows a fault detected on the 4009 IDNet NAC Extender before the repeater  
connected to that circuit is turned on:  
CARD 2, IDNET CARD (250 POINTS)  
M1-18, 4009A NAC  
EARTH FAULT  
Conversely, the following example shows a fault detected after the repeater connected to  
that circuit is turned on:  
CARD 2, IDNET CARD (250 POINTS)  
M1-18, 4009A REPEATER  
EARTH FAULT  
IDNet isolator fault. The message below shows a fault detected after the IDNet isolator  
was turned on:  
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-prong  
plug. Use a non-grounded plug adapter to the remote PC to get rid of the earth  
ground.  
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.

The panel reports two earth faults—one for each power supply. The third fault is as yet  
unreported.  
The example below shows the progression of events in finding and repairing the three  
faults. They are presented as instructions to a technician who does not yet know about the  
third fault.  
A. Find and repair the fault in the main panel.  
1. After opening the Earth Fault Search diagnostic menu option, select Location  
Search.  
9. Select the SPS located in the Main Panel (this selects the Main Panel as the  
location for the search).  
10. When prompted, select exclusion of AUXPWR circuits.  
11. Start the search. (The panel turns on the earth fault search trouble pseudo-point  
and the keypad inactivity utility pseudo-point to disable timeout during the  
search).  
12. The search completes. The panel indicates that NAC 2 on the SPS has the earth  
fault. All slaves are reset (and the panel turns off the earth fault search trouble  
pseudo-point).  
13. Repair the earth fault on NAC 2. When this is done, the trouble from the SPS  
clears but the trouble from the RPS is still indicated.

B. Find and repair the indicated fault on Transponder 1.  
1. Select Location Search.  
14. Select the RPS located in Transponder 1 (this selects Transponder 1 as the  
location for the search).  
15. When prompted, select exclusion of AUXPWR circuits.  
16. Start the search. (The panel turns on the earth fault search trouble pseudo-point  
and the keypad inactivity utility pseudo-point to disable timeout during the  
search).  
17. The search completes. The panel indicates FAULT NOT FOUND because the  
fault is on the excluded AUXPWR circuit. All slaves in Transponder 1 are reset  
(and the panel turns off the earth fault search trouble pseudo-point).  
18. Repeat the search but include the AUXPWR circuit this time.  
19. The search completes. The panel indicates a fault on the AUXPWR point on the  
RPS. All slaves in Transponder 1 are reset (and the panel turns off the earth fault  
search trouble pseudo-point).  
20. Repair the earth fault on AUXPWR.  
Even though you have fixed the fault, the trouble from the RPS is still not clearing.  
Remember that the only two faults you could see at first were from the SPS and RPS. It is  
time to find and clear the next fault.  
C. Find and repair the next indicated fault on Transponder 1.  
1. Select Location Search.  
21. Select the RPS located in Transponder 1.  
22. When prompted, select exclusion of AUXPWR circuits.  
23. Start the search.  
24. The search completes. The panel indicates a fault on IDNet Channel M2.  
25. Start another search, this time an IDNet Channel Search on Channel M2.  
26. When prompted, select exclusion of AUXPWR circuits.  
27. The search completes. The panel indicates a fault on the IDNet channel between  
isolators 1 and 2.  
28. Repair the earth fault. The trouble from the RPS is cleared.

Appendix I  
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.  
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.  
Calculate the quiescent load (Iq) and alarm load (Ia) from the currents listed in  
the specifications (Appendix H of this manual). Follow the example in AS1670.1.  
Note that the system current for both the quiescent and the alarm state can be  
checked on the panel by use of the System Current status point under Card  
Status for the SPS.

Appendix J  
Cable Characteristics  
IDNet  
The IDNet cabling requirements are detailed in Chapter 8 of this manual.  
Line Characteristics  
4100 MAPNET II  
Note: In the following paragraphs the term "MAPNET channel" is used to mean those  
lines connected to any one Mapnet Transceiver board. Parallel runs from the same board  
do not constitute separate channels. The term "continuous run" refers to the loop distance  
from the primary output, through all devices and back to the secondary output.  
Line characteristics are based on 0.58uF and/or 35 Ohms total line resistance.  
Total length of line on one MAPNET channel shall not exceed 3,000 m including all  
T-taps and parallel runs.  
Maximum length for ONE continuous MAPNET run is 1200 m for up to 128 MAPNET  
devices using 1.5 mm sq cable.  
When the run exceeds 850 m it is necessary to use twisted, shielded pair.  
NETWORK  
Copper Line Characteristics  
Network "Wired" (formerly called RS-485) Communication wiring shall be 0.75 mm sq  
twisted, shielded pair (TSP), or 0.22 mm sq twisted pair (TP). Shielded Cable is  
recommended for new installations. When shielding is used, the shield shall be connected  
to Earth Ground, at the Left Port end of span only.  
No T-tapping of the Network conductors is allowed. Network wiring is point-to-point,  
only.  
Maximum line length between ports at 57,600 and 9600 bits per second is shown in the  
table below.  
Maximum Wiring Distance  
0.75mm sq TSP Wire.  
(Maximum capacitance  
between conductors is 174

Network, Continued  
Fibre Optic Cable Characteristics  
All fibre cables shall be multimode, graded index. ST style connectors must be used. No  
physical strain shall 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.  
The characteristics of the 4100-0143 fibre optic media card are as follows. Mininium  
Launch Power into a 50/125 cable is 50 uW (-13 dBm). Minimum Launch Power into a  
62.5/125 cable is 109.5 uW (-8.6 dBm). The maximum value for the minimum input  
sensitivity of the receiver is 1.0 uW (-30 dBm).  
Maximum line lengths for 50/125 and 62.5/125 cable are shown in the table below.
