  • Page 9: Section 1 - System Overview

    The 4100+ also uses a switching power supply to provide up to 8 Amps of power at 24 VDC for load devices and system operation, plus up to 4 Amps for battery charging responsibilities. In addition, this power supply can communicate directly with the Master Controller via internal serial communications, reporting such data as system voltage and current usage and battery charging information.

  • Page 10: System Operating Description

    ON and flashes, the city circuit may be activated (if required by local codes), and various programmed events occur. When the 4100 senses a malfunction within the system (loss of power, hardware failure, etc.), a Trouble Condition is announced by the interface panel. The tone-alert turns ON and remains steady ON, the SYSTEM TROUBLE LED flashes and various programmed events occur.

    TrueAlarm Sensors. A TrueAlarm™ sensor measures smoke density, but has no self-contained alarm set point. The alarm set point is programmed into the 4100. Thus, the alarm decision is made by the 4100, rather than by the sensor. Every four seconds, each smoke sensor transmits an output value based on its smoke chamber condition. The 4100 system maintains a current value, peak value, and an average value of each sensor’s output.
