In addition, the external bell sounds to indicate the location of the 4100U-S1 FIP. During maintenance or testing, these outputs can be prevented from activating by isolating them before an alarm occurs. In a real alarm situation, they should be left operating until Brigade personnel choose to turn them off.
Overview The Ancillary Control Facility (ACF) consists of relay outputs which can be used to control equipment which is not part of the 4100U-S1 fire alarm system, such as shutting down air conditioning or returning lifts to a certain floor.
When a zone alarm occurs, among the other alarm indications, the A/C AUTO indicator lights to show that the 4100U-S1 has taken control of the air conditioning system. This operation remains in effect even after all alarms have been cleared and the 4100U-S1 system has been reset and is back to normal.
Displaying Event time Procedure 1. Select the point by repeatedly pressing the <ALARM ACK> key (for a point in alarm), <FAULT ACK> (for a point in fault), or <ISOLATE ACK> (for an isolated point) until the desired point is displayed. 2.
Resetting Points Overview The Alarm state and some Fault conditions latch within the panel so they can be acknowledged and viewed. When the latched states are no longer required they can be reset. The condition that caused each point to go into alarm must be cleared before the system can reset to the normal state, (e.g.
Fault conditions are used to indicate something wrong, e.g. the presence of a field wiring problem (circuit break, short or ground), somewhere between the 4100U-S1 and one of its points. Faults are also used to indicate a problem with the 4100U-S1’s option cards, power supplies, network card, etc.
Acknowledging Fault or Isolate Conditions How the 4100U-S1 When a fault or isolate condition is detected by the 4100U-S1, the operator interface does the Indicates the following: Presence of a Fault • The yellow “FAULT” or “ISOLATE” indicators flash •...

Chapter 4 Testing and Controlling Points Introduction This chapter describes using the panel’s action keys (ALARM TEST, On, Off, etc.) to test and control system zones and points. In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic. Topic See Page # Alarm and Fault Test for Zones...
Alarm and Fault Test for Zones Alarm Test Alarm Test forces a zone into the alarm state. Once the zone is in alarm, you can check to see if the system reacts in the way that it has been programmed (i.e., do signals sound in the correct manner? do relays function correctly? etc.).
Isolating and De-isolating Zones Overview This section describes isolating and de-isolating zones. Isolating a zone does not prevent any of the points within the zone from going into the alarm state, but does prevent the activation of any outputs that are programmed to operate when the zone is in alarm. Pressing the <ISOLATE>...
Disabling and Enabling Points Disabling and Enabling Points Overview Situations such as a malfunctioning detector causing false alarms, or an activated detector that prevents the system from being reset, can be temporarily overcome by disabling that particular point. Disabling a point allows the system to be reset while repairs are being made. It takes the point “offline”.
<AUTO> key and the <ENTER> key. Sounder (buzzer) A loud buzzer is used in the Australian 4100U-S1 to meet the requirements of AS4428 (70dB at 1m with the door closed). If doing testing or maintenance on the system with an operator at the panel, the buzzer may be inhibited by turning point P198 on.
Chapter 5 Selecting Points for Status or Control Introduction Many of the operations that can be accomplished from the operator interface first require you to select the point on which you want to perform the operation. Points can be selected in one of three ways.
Selecting Points from the Menu Overview Every system point is part of the “Select a List of Points” list in the main menu. All points can be displayed sequentially by address order using this list option. To facilitate a search for a particular point, lists may be selected by point category (monitors, signals, auxiliary, input/output, pseudo points, etc.).
Selecting Points with the Entry Keypad Overview The Entry Keypad, shown below, allows you to quickly select points. For example, pressing the ZONE key on the upper left side of the keypad selects the monitor zone category. After selecting a category, messages on the display prompt you for the specific point in the category.
