Introduction to the 4100U Fire Alarm System Introduction The 4100/4100U 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 cabinets, with or without multiple host panels. This chapter is an overview of standalone, MINIPLEX, and network 4100 system concepts.
System Configurations Overview The 4100U is available as a standalone system with one host panel, or as an expansive system with several remote back boxes, with or without multiple host panels. The type of configuration used depends on the size of the site into which it is being installed.
Standalone Configuration Overview The standalone version of the 4100U is used for smaller or single-building applications. A standalone system is ideally placed into a small building that requires a limited number of notification appliances and initiating devices. If a small building is being expanded, or if other buildings are being constructed in the same general area (as in a campus application), the standalone 4100U can be expanded into one of the larger systems described later.
MINIPLEX. System Design The MINIPLEX 4100 FACP must contain the following: • • System Power Supply for the 4100U (Universal Power Supply for the 4100) • 4100 only (non-4100U): Remote unit interface (RUI) Card • Optional slave cards Each transponder cabinet, meanwhile, must contain a Transponder Interface Card (TIC) and any number of optional slave cards.
(RTUs) in a MINIPLEX system by using the external RUI comms bus. An RUI line, routed from either the CPU Motherboard in the 4100U, or the RUI card in the 4100, allows the data to travel long distances. Once the RUI line terminates at a remote cabinet, the TIC (4100U) or RIC (4100) in that cabinet distributes the CPU’s data...
Network Configuration Overview The 4100 can be expanded to a network system by using network interface cards (NICs). When a NIC is installed into a 4100 host panel, it is used to connect to other network nodes. Nodes may consist of other host 4100 panels, or they may be completely different: Graphical Command Centers (GCCs), and Visual Command Centers (VCCs) are all examples of what could be used as nodes.
Network Configuration, Continued Connecting Loops Network loops can be joined via physical bridge cards. There may be no more than two Style 7 network loops (two hub configurations) connected in tandem. For every two loops that are interconnected (using one physical bridge), there can be a maximum of three physical bridges used in a star configuration.
4100 PIDs (Non-4100U) The following is a list of existing 4100+/A cards and modules that may be used with 4100U. • 4100-5004 8 AZF Monitor Zone • 4100-0113 Dual RS232 Modem Interface • 4100-0110 MAPNET 2 Addressable Loop • 4100-3003 8 Relay Module •...

Chapter 5 Networking Introduction A standalone or MINIPLEX 4100 system becomes a network node when a 4100 Network Interface Card (NIC) or other compatible network card is installed and connected to another network node. How network cards connect to each other depends on the type of media network cards being used.
Getting Started Overview This chapter describes how to turn a standalone or MINIPLEX FACP into a network node. This process consists of the following: Step 1. Configuring cards for operation (using DIP switches and jumper ports) Step 2. Mounting media cards to the network interface card (NIC) Step 3.
Introduction to the 4100 Network Interface Card (NIC) Overview The Network Interface Card (NIC) is a slave card that uses the standard 4100 serial bus to communicate with the master. The NIC connects FACPs in a network, allowing for communication between each panel via fiber, modem, or twisted shielded pair wire. The NIC is designed to be connected in a point-to-point arrangement, so that one wire fault does not cause the entire system to fail.

This section describes how the media cards are mounted onto NICs. Media Card NICs connect to each other via the three types of media cards. The types of media cards Mounting in the right and left ports are determined by the type of wiring that is being used across cards.
Step 3. Mounting Network Cards The 4100 NIC daughter card, shown in Figure 6-8 below, inserts into motherboards as follows: • If the 565-274 Master Motherboard is being used, the NIC daughter card is inserted into connector J1. • If the 566-227 Master Motherboard or 565-275 Motherboard is used, the NIC daughter card is inserted into connector J2.
Step 4. Wiring Network Cards Overview The nodes in the network now have to be wired together, so that the NIC in one host panel connects to the NIC in the next panel. This section contains guidelines and instructions for NIC wiring. Wiring Guidelines Refer to the following guidelines whenever field wiring the NICs.
