The loops associated with the Simplex 4100 circuit board that specifically require a 3.3k EOL (End-of-Line) resistor are the BGA INPUTS. These loops involve cabling that may show faults like open circuits or missing EOL resistors. The solution is to check the cabling and fit a 3.3k EOL resistor.
There is no information provided in the context about four pairs of wires on the bottom.

2006 614T Detector RELATED DOCUMENTATION This manual is part of a three volume set relating to the 4100/4120 Fire Alarm Panel. The following lists the documentation relating to the 4100/4120 Fire Alarm Panel Volume 1 4100/4120 Fire Indicator Panel - Operator Manual. This manual describes the operating procedures for a typical 4100/4120 Fire Indicator Panel .
The 4100+ also uses a switching power supply to provide up to 7 Amps of power at 24 VDC for load devices and system operation, plus up to 3 Amps for battery charging responsibilities.

The 4100 can be programmed to perform a "global acknowledge" where a single key press of the appropriate acknowledge button will silence the piezo for all points in that condition.
SIMPLEX AUSTRALIA SYSTEM IS NORMAL 08:23:43 MON 25 JAN 95 Abnormal conditions are indicated on the 4100 panel by flashing the alarm, isolate, or fault LED and sounding the tone-alert. The alphanumeric display provides information as to the point status (alarm, isolated, and fault), number of abnormal conditions in the system, and a custom label.
When a monitor zone or device senses an Alarm condition (heat, smoke, manual call point), this is relayed to 4100 FIP and displayed on the Operator Interface Panel by the SYSTEM ALARM LED flashing, tone-alert sounding, and zone alarm LED turning on.
SIMPLEX 4100 FIRE INDICATOR PANEL Page 5 OPERATOR MANUAL ABNORMAL CONDITIONS When an abnormal condition has been detected by the system, the appropriate LED will be flashing and the tone-alert will be beeping for alarm conditions. The tone-alert will be on steady for isolate and fault conditions.
Page 6 SIMPLEX 4100 FIRE INDICATOR PANEL OPERATOR MANUAL 3 ALARM CONDITIONS When an alarm condition is detected, it is indicated at the main 4100 FIP by the following: - Red "ALARM" LED is flashing. - Tone-alert is pulsing. - LEDs on the local annunciator may illuminate.

The display will indicate a ISOLATED condition, until the isolated point has been de-isolated. When a zone is isolated via the zone isolate switches , the condition is indicated on the main 4100 FIP as follows: - Yellow "SYSTEM ISOLATE" LED is flashing. - Tone-alert is on steady.

OPERATOR MANUAL 6.2.3 TrueAlarm Sensor Display Values Using the 4100 LCD and the display/action keys, the control panel can display various status conditions for each TrueAlarm sensor, the sensor's present selected sensitivity level as a percent of obscuration per foot. This selected sensitivity level is the value at which the FIP will cause an alarm condition.

LAMP TEST The “LAMP TEST” push-button on the operator interface panel is used to determine local lamp failures within the system. Lamps on the 4100 operator interface panel illuminate along with the five function and acknowledge LEDs. All segments on the LCD also change to squares.
OPERATOR MANUAL Walk Test™ BY GROUP The 4100 will support up to eight Walk Test™ groups. This allows the building to be divided into small portions for the Walk Test™, and allows the rest of the building to be protected by the fire alarm panel. Each group has a list of monitor zones and signal circuits which activate when selected.
SIMPLEX 4100 FIRE INDICATOR PANEL Page 39 OPERATOR MANUAL Zone coding may be disabled for each of the eight Walk Test™ groups, Group 0 through Group 7, using the interface panel’s display. When zone coding is disabled (<F3> key to ZERO), a “0” code is always used, even for the first alarm. This method of testing is more appropriate for maintenance testing, once all wiring is verified.
The second line of the LCD shows device status. Walk Test™ OPERATION When the 4100 system is placed in Walk Test™ mode, any zone in the active Walk Test™ group(s) can be tested in any order. If zone coding is enabled, there is an advantage in testing all devices within one zone before going on to the next zone.
SIMPLEX 4100 FIRE INDICATOR PANEL Page 41 OPERATOR MANUAL 7.8.1 Abort Audible and Delay on Reactivation Whenever a Walk Test™ group is aborted, either manually or automatically, the control list sounds the abort signal “TESTING COMPLETED” (or 0-0-0) to indicate that the group is going back into service, If a control point in the list is already active, possibly because another alarm has come in, the “TESTING COMPLETED”...
This list is initially filled by the system for the first group, and includes all monitor zones. It can be edited using the tag list feature of the 4100 Programming Unit. An empty list signifies that a Walk Test™ group is not used. The programmer has the option of changing the label of this point list so that it is more meaningful for panel operation..
SIMPLEX 4100 FIRE INDICATOR PANEL Page 43 OPERATOR MANUAL 7.8.11 System Fault The Walk Test™ has the ability to test signal circuits for fault (i.e. open/short) conditions. This is accomplished by using the Walk Test™ output lists (L50 through L57) as the input lists for signal fault conditions.
