Programming And Configuration - Simplex 4100ES Installation Manual

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.
The Command Center may also use security cameras and/or intercom capabilities to allow them to make a more rapid response and a
Mass Notification announcement if necessary.

Programming and Configuration

11.2.1 Programming the 4100ES to Meet MNS Requirements
The programming for an MNS is not special; it can be accomplished using priority, modes, and Custom Control. Any technician who has
attended training and become a certified 4100ES Fire Alarm Technician should be capable of programming the 4100ES for MNS combined
with Fire Alarm service.
Program a key for the reset of MNS panic switch alarms. The key mode should be type "PBT", with the reference address of P216. The
adjacent LED should be programmed to track the status of the reset window timer, illuminating for the duration of the reset cycle. The
reset window timer is A214.
MNS requires that dedicated LEDs be programmed for any MNS-specific service. It is appropriate to use Priority 2 for MNS alarms. Pri 2
could also be used to indicate another alarm, such as CO. In a case of multiple Pri 2 alarms, LEDs must be added for each type of service.
Program these LEDs to track the state of the points involved in that service.
MNS can also have Supervisory inputs, which should still be programmed as Supervisory in order to activate the sounder and the
Supervisory indicator. A dedicated LED for each type of service must also be programmed. For example, a fire supervisory would light
a dedicated fire supervisory LED, as well as the general supervisory LED. An MNS supervisory would light a dedicated MNS supervisory
LED as well as the general supervisory LED. This is to comply with a UL2572 requirement for an indication of each type of service without
activating any controls.
The same requirement holds when there are MNS specific points. They should light the general trouble LED and sound the piezo. They
should also be programmed such that an LED tracks the trouble status of MNS points and a separate LED tracks the trouble status of fire
alarm points.
