Introduction to the Expansion Signal Card
Overview
The Expansion Signal (XSIG) Card provides three additional notification appliance circuits (NACs) for use with either an amplifier audio NAC or a power
supply card NAC (SPS, RPS, XPS). It is not compatible with the ES-PS simple NAC or NAC Cards. When you add an XSIG Card for audio NAC expansion,
program the card 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 on each 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 on each 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
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 three Class A/B Constant Supervision
NACs

Card configuration
Overview
This section contains instructions on configuring the XSIG card through jumpers and DIP switches.
Setting the EOLR Jumpers (P3 & P4)
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).
Setting the Device Address and Baud Rate (SW1)
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 Figure 4 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.
