A unit can be 4100 cabinets full of cards, a mimic panel - up to 2000 LEDs & switches (2 or 3 position switches), a remote LCD, flatpack 24Point I/O modules (multiple flatpack I/O modules located together count as 1 unit). -
Page 6: 4100U Basic Operations
1.2 4100U Basic Operations The Fire Panel display consists of two sections – the Operator Interface (upper section) and the Zone Isolate pushbutton switches & indicators (lower section). Fire detectors are grouped into zones (searchable grouped areas). Zones can be Isolated by pressing the zone‟s isolate pushbutton on the panel –... -
Page 7: Operator Interface Commands
1.3 Operator Interface Commands The table shown below includes some general front panel commands for quickly navigating through system components. In addition output points can be controlled by following the below steps then commanding the point via the On/Off/Auto keys. Manually controlling output points will create a fault on the LCD display, and to clear these faults each manually altered output will need to be set back to its AUTO state. -

1.1.1 Resetting 4100 Latched Faults & Rebooting CPU When fault finding the Simplex® 4100U Fire Detection Panel some IDNet/MAPNet & RUI faults will „latch‟ and not clear without the use of the „System Reset‟ button (described on a previous page). If all else fails, to clear latched faults or some networking issues it may be warranted to use a CPU Reboot otherwise known as a Warm-Start. -

1.1.5 4100-0157A Battery Charger Faults There are a number of Battery Charger Faults that can arise during the operational lifetime of a panel. You may observe one of the following Faults; Charger 2% out of range Battery Charger Supply incorrect The most common cause is one or possibly both batteries are faulty. - Page 23 4. Measure the voltage on the battery leads. You may have to power down & up again to reset the power supply. If the voltage is correct, power down, re-connect the power & comms harnesses & return the system to normal. 5.

Page 24: Positive/Negative Earth Ground Faults
Simplex 4100U – The Simplex 4100U series fire panel has the most advanced earth fault monitoring available to the Simplex Fire Panel Range. The 4100U has the ability to self diagnose and locate the general locale of an earth fault, enabling the saving of much time and effort during diagnosis. There are two main Earth Fault Detection options available for selection in the menu options (accessed via the 4100U fascia), a „Location Search‟... - Page 25 Pre-4100U Series Fire Panels (4100+, 4100A) – The older Simplex 4100 Series Fire panels have the ability to detect Positive/Negative Earth Ground Faults. Unlike the 4100U Series Fire panels, their Power Supplies do not have the option to automatically diagnose on which circuit the fault is located. There are, however, methods which can narrow down the circuits in question.

Page 37: List Of System Faults - Non-Networked
4.2 List of System Faults – Non-Networked The complete list of faults which can be displayed by a system fault recall is as follows: Mains fail When mains fail appears in a system fault recall it indicates that mains is currently failed. When mains have failed continuously for 8 hours a system fault may be generated depending on programming. - Page 38 be read correctly at startup. Try isolating and de-isolating something (e.g. bells) to get the controller to retry writing/reading this RAM. EEPROM write fail This fault will occur if a failure occurs when writing to EEPROM database memory during program mode.
- Page 39 RZDU x This displays the current status of any RZDU which has an off-normal condition. Net msg discard This occurs only with network systems. The local system discarded a message that was repeatedly sent to another device on the network that did not acknowledge it. To allow other messages to be sent on the network, the unacknowledged msg was discarded.

5.3.3 Speaker Tapping Adjustments Both amplifier types have controls to adjust the power output. NOTE: However in terms of efficiency and battery capacity that it is preferable to reduce the volume by adjusting the speaker taps to a lower setting and leaving the controls turned right up (fully clockwise), rather than by using the volume controls. -
