  • Page 19: Chapter 1 Introduction To The 4100U Fire Alarm System

    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.

  • Page 20: System Configurations

    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.

  • Page 21: Standalone Configuration

    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.

  • Page 22: Miniplex Configuration

    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...

  • Page 24: Network Configuration

    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.
