Cautions, Warnings, and Regulatory Information
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Follow the instructions in this installation manual. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to
this product and associated equipment. Product operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY SIMPLEX™ PRODUCT THAT APPEARS DAMAGED Upon unpacking your Simplex product, inspect the contents
of the carton for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify an authorized Simplex
product supplier.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD Disconnect electrical field power when making any internal adjustments or repairs. All repairs should be
performed by a representative or an authorized agent of your local Simplex product supplier.
STATIC HAZARD Static electricity can damage components. Handle as follows:
• Ground yourself before opening or installing components.
• Prior to installation, keep components wrapped in anti-static material at all times.
FCC RULES AND REGULATIONS – PART 15. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
SYSTEM REACCEPTANCE TEST AFTER SOFTWARE CHANGES To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with
NFPA72® after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion
of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100 % tested. In addition, to ensure that
other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10 % of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50
devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.
Introduction
This publication describes the installation procedure for 4100-5101 (120 VAC), 4100-5102 (220 VAC/230 VAC/240 VAC), 4100-5103 (120 VAC with
battery disconnect) Expansion Power Supplies (XPSs), and the 4100-5115 Expansion NAC Module (XNAC). This product is compatible with 4100U and
4100ES fire alarm controls units (FACUs).
Important: Verify FACU system programmer, executive, and slave software compatibility when installing, or replacing system components. Refer to
the Technical Support Information and Downloads website for compatibility information.
Expansion Power Supply Modules
This publication describes the installation procedure for the following:
• 4100-5101 Expansion Power Supply (XPS), 120 VAC, 60 Hz
• 4100-5102 XPS, 220 VAC/230 VAC/240 VAC 50 Hz/60 Hz
• 4100-5103 XPS, 120 VAC, 60 Hz, with battery disconnect (Canada)
• 4100-5115 Expansion NAC Module (XNAC)
The XPS distributes added card power and signal power via the PDI. Signal power is available only in the bay in which the XPS is located. The source of
card power is selected by jumpers P4 & P5 on the PDI.
The XPS includes three NACs, and may be expanded to 6 NACs with the 4100-5115. NACs are wired as Class B or Class A. All circuits are power limited
in accordance with UL 864. The NACs support non-addressable TrueAlert and conventional reverse-polarity operation.
The notification appliance circuits on these modules can be used as regulated 24 VDC circuits, or special application circuits. When used as generic 24
VDC regulated circuits, only 4 Amps of current is available across the three circuits, and any 24 VDC appliance may be attached. When used as special
applications NACs, the full 9 Amps of current is available at the three circuits and only the compatible appliances listed in Table 5 may be connect to
these circuits. The SPS/RPS can synchronize compatible appliances across all three circuits when those circuits are used as special applications NACs.
The XPS has a 9 A capacity. Each NAC is rated at 3 A. A NAC can also be configured as an auxiliary power point, in which case it is rated at 2 A. The
total load at 24 VDC must be no more than 9 A. The total load includes NACs (on the XPS or the XNAC Module), auxiliary power, card power, and signal
power used by modules plugged into the same bay.
Note: If NACs are to be used as auxiliary outputs, they must be configured as such in the Panel Programmer. Programming may also be required for
dedicated auxiliary outputs; refer to the ES Panel Programmer's Manual (574-849).
NACs are monitored for short and open circuits. If a short circuit occurs, the affected NAC will not be energized.
A NAC mis-wiring test, which checks for NACs that are shorted together, can be initiated on command from the operator interface.
AC power and battery backup are provided to the XPS through a connection to the PDM.
Detection of an earth fault on XPS wiring is performed by the SPS, RPS or XBC. Detection is 10k ohm minimum.
The 4100-5103 model is required in jurisdictions, such as Canada, where depleted battery conditions are required by local code to result in power-
down of the unit until AC power is restored. The system must also be programmed for depleted battery cutout for each power supply.
