4 Introduction to the 4100ES Fire Alarm System The 4100ES 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 back boxes, with or without multiple host panels. This chapter is an overview of standalone, MINIPLEX®, and network 4100ES system concepts.
Page 17: Miniplex Configuration
MINIPLEX configuration The MINIPLEX version of the 4100ES Fire Alarm System, which is designed for moderately larger applications than the standalone configuration, allows up to 3000 monitor and/or control points and 3000 annunciator points to be controlled by a single FACU.
Page 18: Rui Communication
Data to and from the CPU may have to be routed over long distances in a MINIPLEX system. An RUI line, routed from either the CPU motherboard in the 4100ES or the RUI card in some legacy systems, allows the data to travel longer distances. Once the RUI line terminates at a remote box, the TIC (4100ES) or RIC (Legacy 4100) at that box distributes the CPU’s data to the remote modules.

Page 20: Network Configuration
The 4100ES can be expanded to a network system by using network interface cards (NICs). When a NIC is installed into a 4100ES host panel, it is used to connect to up to 98 other network nodes. Nodes may consist of other host 4100ES panels, or they may be completely different: 4010 FACUs, TrueSite®...

4100ES Fire Alarm System Installation Guide Step 1. Mounting Back Boxes Three different sizes of system back boxes are available, accommodating one, two, or three electronics bays. These back boxes are shipped in large containers separate from the system electronics. If system electronics containers are shipped with the back box containers, store the system electronics containers in a safe, clean, and dry location until the back box installation is completed, and you are ready to install the system electronic bays.
Page 40 4100ES Fire Alarm System Installation Guide Figure 11: Back Box Installation Diagram Figure 11 notes: Dimensions shown are typical for all surface and semi-flush installations. Use suitable punch when conduit is required. Knockouts are not provided. Locate and create on-site as required during installation.

Page 103 8 ES Net Networking Use the ES Net Network Interface Cards (NICs) to expand a 4100ES to an ES Net network system. Install a NIC in a 4100ES host panel to connect to up to 98 other network nodes. Examples of other nodes include other host 4100ES panels, 4010ES FACUs, 4007ES FACUs, or TrueSite Workstations (TSWs).
Page 104 The ES Net Network Interface Card (NIC) is an option card that is used to add a 4100ES FACU or a TSW node to an ES Net network. You can mount the ES Net NIC in a bay in the FACU, and configure the card as an ES Net NIC or an ES Net TSW NIC. The NIC communicates between each panel using Ethernet, DSL, or fiber connections in a Class X or Class B wiring configuration.

Page 110: General Information
All other signals In the 4100ES system, signal priority can be selected by assignment of point type and further by custom control. Refer to the ES Panel Programmer’s Manual (574-849) for detailed information about programming input point priority and writing custom control.
Page 111 Overriding Fire Alarm Signals An MNS/ECS system must have the capability to override any other notification signals. When the 4100ES is used as a combination fire alarm/MNS, the system programming determines which signal has priority. Just as an Evacuation Message has higher priority than an Alert Message, system programming gives priority to MNS functions over other alarm functions.
Page 112: Programming And Configuration
4100ES Fire Alarm System Installation Guide A variety of devices can be connected to a Simplex 4100ES via an individual addressable module (IAM). The IAM should be programmed as a priority 2 device, or other non-fire alarm point. The IAM may be used to monitor any contact type initiating device. Use a contact-type initiating device listed to ANSI/UL 2017.
Page 113: Configuration Limitations
11.2.4 Voice Control Centers The primary solution for controlling and activating voice messages on a Simplex fire alarm network is utilizing the standard 4100ES LED and Switch user interface along with a microphone for live voice announcements. In the example below the operator first selects the destination for a message on the left and then selects the audio source or pre-recorded message to play on the right.
Page 114 MNS Wiring The 4100ES field wiring is “power-limited”, with the exception of AC input, battery and the City Circuit option module wiring. For MNS, the term “power limited” has been replaced by the NEC term “class 2”. Wherever this document uses the UL864 term “power limited”, it can be taken to mean class 2.
Page 115 • 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 4100ES FACU. Refer to Figure 77 for a complete list of the switch settings for all of the possible card addresses.

Each ES-PS IDNAC card SLC powers and communicates with up to 127 IDNAC devices. The ES-PS IDNAC is wired to compatible devices and appliances, such as the TrueAlert ES and TrueAlert Addressable lines (both multi and fixed candela), using Class B circuitry.

Do not mix TrueAlert ES speakers with conventional speakers on an audio NAC. IDNAC wire length limitations dictate the maximum audio NAC wire run length between a TrueAlert ES speaker and the connected 4100ES amplifier. The maximum IDNAC wire run length from the EPS to a device, with a Repeater extension is 8,000 feet. Because the maximum distance between the amplifier and the EPS is 2500 feet over RUI/RUI+, the total allowable distance between the amplifier and the TrueAlert ES device speaker is 10,500 feet.
