Cautions and
Warnings
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS- Follow the instructions in this installation
manual. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to this product and associated
equipment. Product operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY SIMPLEX® PRODUCT THAT APPEARS DAMAGED- Upon
unpacking your Simplex product, inspect the contents of the carton for shipping damage. If
damage is apparent, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify an authorized
Simplex product supplier.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD - Disconnect electrical field power when making any internal adjust-
ments or repairs. All repairs should be performed by a representative or authorized agent of
your local Simplex product supplier.
EYE SAFETY HAZARD - Under certain fiber optic application conditions, the optical output
of this device may exceed eye safety limits. Do not use magnification (such as a microscope
or other focusing equipment) when viewing the output of this device.
STATIC HAZARD - Static electricity can damage components. Handle as follows:
Ground yourself before opening or installing components.
Prior to installation, keep components wrapped in anti-static material at all times.
FCC RULES AND REGULATIONS – PART 15 - This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of
this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the
user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
SYSTEM REACCEPTANCE TEST AFTER SOFTWARE CHANGES -To ensure proper
system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with NFPA 72® after any
programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required
after any change, addition or deletion of system components, or after any modification, repair
or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a
change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not
inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the
change, up to a maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper system operation
verified.
NFPA 72® is a registered trademark of the National Fire Protection Association.

The Expansion Signal (XSIG) Card provides three additional NACs for use with either an
Amplifier Audio NAC or a power supply card (SPS, RPS, and XPS). When an XSIG Card is
added for audio NAC expansion, the card is programmed for operation with the specific amplifier
that it is expanding.
Each XSIG card must be dedicated to provide either all Audio or all DC notification; these
operations cannot be mixed.
Functions of the XSIG Card
1. Provides three 1.5 A Class B NACs for Audio or DC notification.
2. Switches between two power audio input sources (for example,
Flex-35/Flex-50-style dual-channel power stage switching).
3. Accepts Class A Adapter and Class B Expander for a total of six Class B NACs or
three Class A NACs per card that can be used with audio or DC signaling.
4. Accepts constant supervision audio NAC module for a total of three Constant
Supervision NACs per card for use with audio signaling only.
5. When configured for use with non-alarm audio, quickly and automatically switches
to an audio source when a signal is detected at either input.
6. Supports earth fault isolation in conjunction with the source NAC supplying the card
input.
The XSIG Card also supports the WALKTEST system test as long as the following programming
guidelines are followed:
Custom Control must be written to turn on the NACs when the “WALKTEST Group
Active” pseudo turns ON.
Lists can be created for the NACs to allow you to have them turn ON when different
groups are activated. However, a Custom Control equation would be required for
each WALKTEST group.
Optional equipment to accompany the XSIG card consists of the following:
4100-1266 Expansion Signal (XSIG) Card XNAC (increases the quantity of Class B
NACs from three to six)
4100-1267 Expansion Signal (XSIG) Card Class A Adapter (upgrades the three on-
card NACs to Class A)
4100-1268 Expansion Signal (XSIG) Constant Supervision NAC (replaces the on-card
NACs with 3 Class A/B Constant Supervision NACs

The XSIG card is a 4100 Comm slave according to the 4100 slave architecture. The card plugs
onto the Power Distribution Interface (PDI) that supplies card power and 4100 Comm
communications.
LEDs on the XSIG card are used to indicate card status. See Table 1.
Table 1. Status LEDs
*LED No. Use Interpretation Color

The Expansion Signal (XSIG) card mounts on the Power Distribution Interface (PDI). The module
can be mounted on any of the PDI connectors.
Use connector P4, labeled on the backside of the given card, to connect to any of the eight PDI
connectors as shown in Figure 2 below.
Note: Figure 2 is a general-purpose illustration that applies to most
4-inch (102 mm) X 5-inch (127 mm) cards.

This section contains instructions on configuring the XSIG card via jumpers and DIP switches.
These jumpers are used to connect an end-of-line resistor to the inputs when the card is installed as
the last in the line of XSIG cards. The default position is OUT (Positions 1-2).
P3
Input 1: Position 2-3 (IN) when last in line of XSIG cards; otherwise, Position 1-2 (OUT).
P4
Input 2: Position 2-3 (IN) when last in line of XSIG cards; otherwise, Position 1-2 (OUT).
Switch SW1 on the XSIG card is an eight-position DIP switch. From left to right (see Figure 3
below) these switches are designated as SW1-1 through SW1-8. The function of these switches is
as follows:
SW1-1. This switch sets the baud rate for the internal 4100 communications line running
between the card and the 4100 CPU. Set this switch to ON.
SW1-2 through SW1-8. These switches set the card’s address within the 4100 FACP.
Refer to Table 3 for a complete list of the switch settings for all of the possible card addresses.
Note: You must set these switches to the value assigned to the card by the
Programmer.

1. Up to 5 XSIG cards are allowed per source NAC.
2. XSIG cards must be in same location as the source NAC.
3. The source NAC does not supervise for shorts during standby; short circuit supervision is provided by
the XSIG NACs.
4. The EOLR Jumper P3 is installed in the IN position (2-3) for the last card in the chain.
5. The power supply source NAC is always wired in a Class B configuration even when the NAC is
configured as Class A.
6. All wiring is between 18 AWG (0.8231 mm
2
) (minimum) and 12 AWG (3.309 mm
2
) (maximum).
