1.1 About this Manual
This manual provides information for creating and maintaining configuration files that contain
site-specific information for 4100U-S1 installations, based on standardized templates.
This manual does not cover how to install or configure hardware items. Refer to LT0394
4100U-S1 Installation and Maintenance Manual for details about this.
This manual does not cover configuration of networked 4100U-S1 systems. Contact your
local Simplex office/dealer for assistance with this.
The manual is divided into the following chapters:
Chapter 2 describes the 4100U-S1 system hardware and how this affects the
configuration procedure.
Chapter 3 describes the 4100U programming tools used for creating and updating
the configuration for a 4100U-S1.
Chapter 4 details the procedure for creating a configuration file for a new 4100U-S1
installation, using the configuration templates.
Chapter 5 describes how to add addressable devices to the configuration for the in-
built IDNet loop.
Chapter 6 details the configuration settings for addressable devices and how these
affect the operation of the devices.
Chapter 7 describes how to add zone display modules for more zones to the
configuration. This is for when an existing system is being extended to have more
zones.
Chapter 8 describes how to add expansion modules such as a second IDNet loop to
the configuration. This will apply to a new system which has additional modules over
the basic 4100U-S1, or to an existing 4100U-S1 installation that is being extended.
Chapter 9 describes how custom control equations are written and entered. Some
examples are given.
Chapter 10 describes how to configure the panel to control AS1668 Fans.
Chapter 11 describes how to build the configuration and download it to the panel.
Chapter 12 contains appendices which describe how AS4428.1 operation is
produced in 4100U-S1 using Custom Control equations. This is for reference only,
and is not required reading for normal configuration work.
Appendix A –a general description of AS4428.1 requirements.
Appendix B –describes the allocation of internal system resources and custom
control for system-wide functions.
Appendix C –describes custom control for control key and indicator operation on the
keyboard.
Appendix D –describes custom control for Alarm Zone Facility operation.

Appendix E –describes 4100-1282 AZF Switch and LED Address mapping.
Appendix F –describes useful pseudo points and lists for when working on a 4100U
panel, especially when chasing intermittent faults.
1.2 Before you start
To get the job done with the minimum of problems and re-work, get the project specific data
sent to you via email or in writing –this helps keep track of the project details and changes.
You will need the cards and addressable loop/s details, including the devices types,
description/label and zoning. If there are zoned output trips, they should be defined via a
“cause and effect” matrix. Microsoft Excel or similar is very good for this purpose.
The most variable programming details are related to sprinkler flowswitch functionality and
AS1668 Fan and Damper control. Get the requirements resolved as soon as possible,
otherwise you may need to partially re-program so the required functionality is met.
Flowswitches may require:
Delayed activation –if so, how long is the delay?
Latching or non-latching operation.
ANDing with a Sprinkler Pressure Switch –to reduce unwanted alarms.
Which outputs will be tripped and are the outputs to latch?
AS1668 operation depends on the Mechanical Services Board/s and their functionality.
In some cases, general trip and zone trips are all that is required, with the Mech Board
starting and stopping the correct fans. In other cases, full start and stop control for smoke
management (with the manual controls in Auto position) is required by the panel.
Will fan operations be limited to manual Start/Stop control?
Will some fans be required to start (or stop) on any alarm –e.g. stair pressurization fans.
Will some fans be required to start (or stop) on specific zones in alarm –e.g. sandwich
Pressurization/smoke management?
Note: Dampers are programmed the same as exhaust fans.
The actual programming consists of four stages:
1. Adding/editing cards and addressable devices.
2. Adding the detection devices into pre-defined lists.
3. Adding/editing custom control, panel LEDs and switches mapping.
4. Build and download.
Follow the above sequence and the instructions in this guide - the programming will be
straight forward, especially if the templates are used to start the project file.

2.1 General Description
The 4100U-S1 is a pre-packaged configuration of the well-established 4100U fire alarm
system. It is aimed at smaller applications requiring one to four loops of Simplex
addressable devices with status and control for up to 64 zones.
The 4100U-S1 is available from stock, along with a range of expansion cards and modules,
making the 4100U-S1 an off the shelf solution.
4100U-S1 retains the standard 4100U features, such as: enhanced CPU with dual
configuration programs, convenient service port access, and module level earth fault search
to locate and isolate faults to assist installation and service. It is fully compatible with all
existing 4100U networks and modules.
Note:
Larger or more complex 4100U systems are custom configured and constructed, using a
range of cabinet sizes and multiple cabinets if needed. While this manual does not cover the
many customization options, the programming principles remain the same and 4100U-S1
program templates can be used as a starting point for large systems.

Document: LT0400 4100U-S1 Programming Guide
System Overview
Issue 1.4 15 December 2010 Page 2-3
The 4100U-S1 comes in a 21U cabinet with external dimensions 1050 x 575 x 280mm
(H x W x D), with a cream wrinkle finish.
In the upper part of the cabinet is a CPU bay containing the 4100U CPU card, its
motherboard, and the Australian SPS power supply module. The SPS module provides the
first IDNet loop and is fitted with an Alarm Relay card (for alarm/fault/isolate brigade
signalling) and a 24V fused distribution board as standard. Up to two 4100 legacy style
cards and motherboards can be added to this bay.
Below the CPU bay is the expansion bay which is supplied fitted with Alarm and Isolate
indicators and controls for 16 zones. The number of indicators is expandable up to 64 zones
by adding LED modules (8 zones each) and a second 64 LED/Switch controller if more than
32 zones are required.
Internally, the expansion bay is empty except for a switched power outlet to supply the SPS
and other service requirements. There is space for up to six 4 x 5 modules in this bay. In
practice, a 4100U-S1 system will usually run out of zone display space or battery capacity
before all these positions are filled. If required, up to four 4100 legacy style cards and
motherboards can be added to the expansion bay, depending on how many 4 x 5 modules
are also fitted.
Each module fitted into the 4100U-S1 is a “Slave” card that is controlled by the CPU card in
the loop bay. Each slave is allocated a unique address so the Panel Master CPU can
address it. The configuration programmed into the 4100U defines the slave card type at
each address and the devices on its loop.
The 4100U programmer has built-in rules about what modules can be installed in each bay
of the cabinet.
2.2 Programming
This manual describes the steps in programming of the 4100U-S1. Take care to modify only
the described tabs, fields, etc., as it is possible to accidentally modify other properties and
change the operation unexpectedly.
Custom control programs 3 –5 have been produced to ensure the panel behaviour meets
Australian standard AS4428.1 and behaves as described. Generally, these should not be
modified without consulting with your local Simplex office/dealer unless directed by this or
another manual.
Custom control program 7 supports AS1668 fire fan operations and the equations will need
to be edited by replacing pseudo point “fillers” with actual fan start and stop relays, fan run
indications and mechanical board fault signal inputs.

3.1 General
The 4100U Panel can be programmed by downloading into it a configuration file that meets
the desired site installation requirements.
3.2 4100U Programmer
The programmer for the 4100U panel is a Windows® based application with graphical
interface that enables the user to build a specific site configuration (job) and download the
configuration image into the 4100U panel via the PC serial port.
The programmer operation is controlled by a Programming Key (Dongle) that must be
attached to either the PC parallel port or USB socket (depending on the dongle type) to
enable programming access. USB dongles take up to 1 minute to be recognized by the
software, so don‟t expect it to be immediately ready when first plugged in.
It is essential to use the 4100U Programmer version that matches the Panel Master Exec
version. The following table summarises the compatibility of the 4100U Programmer
versions with the 4100U Panel Exec versions.
Panel Exec Version

The appropriate programmer can be ordered from Simplex Fire Products using the part
number listed.
3.3 4100U-S1 Configuration Templates
The 4100U-S1 panel is shipped with a basic 16 zone configuration to meet the Australian
standard. The configuration templates (part number SF0369) can be used by installation
technicians as the basis for each new 4100U-S1 site-specific configuration.
3.4 4100U Programmer Installation and Launch
Log on to the computer as an administrator and then run the 4100U Programmer installation
executable and follow the instructions –this will install the new programmer (with other
4100U programming utilities) on your PC. There is no need to uninstall any old versions as
multiple versions can co-exist simultaneously. In fact it can sometimes be useful to have
different versions of the programmer installed to support the different Panel Exec versions in
the field.
The installation process will create a directory named after the Programmer‟s version (e.g.
Version 12.05.02) under the „C:\Program Files\Simplex\4100U Programmer‟ directory.
To launch the programmer click Start | (ALL) Programs | Simplex | the appropriate version
number | 4100U Programmer.

3.5 Steps to Configuring a New System
The steps to configuring a new system are covered in Sections 4 -10.
Section 11 contains details on “building” the configuration and downloading it into the panel.
3.6 Upgrading an Existing Configuration
The configuration must be prepared/edited using a version of the programmer that matches
the Panel Exec firmware installed. If the panel Exec firmware is updated, e.g. to add some
new features, then the configuration will need to be upgraded using the new compatible
programmer version and downloaded to the panel after the firmware has been updated.
A panel with a non-matching configuration will report that the existing configuration is an
incompatible version and repeatedly restart. The upgraded version of the configuration must
be downloaded before normal operation will resume.
Locate the existing database file (job *.SDB4100U) for this system. If you want to keep the
old version as well as the upgraded version of the configuration, you may open it using the
old Programmer - do a „Save As‟/‟Copy...‟ and enter a new job name for the upgraded
version, or simply copy the entire directory of the old configuration to a backup directory.
Open the database file using the Programmer with the new version required. The
Programmer will identify that the database is an older version and will prompt to do an
upgrade.
Click on the Yes button.
This will upgrade the database to the format for the new programmer version.
With the introduction of version 12 Exec firmware,
the Australian message library is loaded as a
primary message library. Select Panel and then
System Options and ensure the setting for
„Language of Use‟ is set to „Primary‟.
Make any other changes required, save the new
database, build it and download it to the panel as
described in this manual.

Creating a Configuration
Page 4-2 15 December 2010 Issue 1.4
4.1 Creating a New Project File
This method describes how to create a new 4100U-S1 configuration using the template
configuration file as the starting point. SF0369 contains the zipped template files. These files
should be unzipped to an appropriate folder on your PC such as C:\4100UJOBS. Run the
4100U programmer of the correct version and click on the „File‟ menu and select „Open‟.
Browse to the location containing the 5 default configurations supplied with SF0369:
S1_16ZN.SDB4100U for 16 zones,
S1_32ZN.SDB4100U for 32 zones
S1_64ZN.SDB4100U for 64 zones.
S1_16Z_F.SDB4100U for 16 zones, 8 fans
S1_32Z_F.SDB4100U for 32 zones, 12 fans
Choose the one that has more front panel zones than are required, as it is easier to remove
extra zones rather than add more. Click OK.
All templates have the required Pseudo points and custom control equations for fan controls.
The templates with _F also have hardware preconfigured.
After the file is opened do a „Save As‟/‟Copy...‟, enter the new job name and click OK. Note
that the „Job Name‟ you enter will show on the front panel when the “Display Software
Revision Level” command is entered.
Now proceed with adding and modifying the site specific information as described below.
4.2 Adding Panel Information
