This publication describes the installation procedure for the following:
• 4100-5101 Expansion Power Supply (XPS), 120 VAC, 60 Hz
• 4100-5102 XPS, 220/230/240 VAC 50/60 Hz
• 4100-5103 XPS, 120 VAC, 60 Hz, with battery disconnect (Canada)
• 4100-5115 Expansion NAC Module (XNAC)
The XPS provides an additional 24 VDC for option cards and for DC notification. An XPS may
supply 24 V card power to modules in the same bay or in other bays. The course of the card power
for modules in a bay is selected by jumpers on the PDI.
The XPS provides 24 VDC to 3 notification appliance circuits, plus an additional three when the
XNAC is installed. NACs can be Class B (Style Y) or Class A (Style Z), and are power limited to
UL864. The NACs support non-addressable TrueAlert and conventional reverse-polarity
operation.
Notification and auxiliary signal power is also provided by the XPS.
The XPS has a 9 A capacity. Each NAC is rated at 3 A. A NAC can also be configured as an
auxiliary power point, in which case it is rated at 2 A. The total load at 24 VDC must be no more
than 9 A. The total load includes NACs (on the XPS or the XNAC Module), auxiliary power, card
power, and signal power used by modules plugged into the same bay.
Note: If NACs are to be used as auxiliary outputs, they must be configured as such in
the 4100U Programmer. Programming may also be required for dedicated
auxiliary outputs; refer to the 4100U Fire Alarm PC Programmer Programming
Manual (574-849).
NACs are monitored for short and open circuits. If a short circuit occurs, the affected NAC will
not be energized.
When the XPS starts up, it automatically starts a NAC mis-wiring test, which checks for NACs
that are shorted together. The test can also be initiated on command from the operator interface.
AC power and battery backup are provided to the XPS through a connection to the PDM.

The XPS provides three outputs for reverse-polarity notification appliance circuits. This section
describes basic NAC wiring from the XPS to 4100-compatible appliances.
The XSPS supports both Class A and Class B NAC wiring.
Class A wiring allows appliances to communicate with the XPS even in the event of an open
circuit somewhere in the loop. Class A wiring requires that two wires are routed from the XPS to
each appliance, and then back again to the XPS.
Table 3 lists the maximum distances from the XPS to the last appliance in a Class A configuration,
depending on wire gauge and current. Use Table 3 to calculate wire distances for your application
if you are using Class A wiring.

The XPS provides three outputs for notification appliance circuits and four inputs for auxiliary
power circuits. This section describes all types of wiring from the XPS to 4100-compatible
appliances.
Review the following guidelines for NACs before you begin NAC field wiring.
• All wiring is 18 AWG (minimum) to 12 AWG (maximum).
• All wiring is supervised and power-limited.
• The maximum alarm current is 3 A per circuit. The supervisory current is 2.03 mA at
24 VDC.
• The nominal voltage rating is 24 VDC, 2 V p-p ripple (maximum).
• The total available current from the SPS or RPS is 9 A. Any current used for card power
by modules plugged into the PDI, as well as any auxiliary 24 VDC current, must be
deducted from the total 9 A available current.
• All wiring that leaves the building requires overvoltage protection. Install module
2081-9044 (3 A) or 2081-9028 (¼ A) inside a UL Listed electrical box wherever wire
enters or exits the building. A maximum of four 2081-9044 Modules may be connected
to one channel. When using the 2081-9044, the maximum alarm current is reduced to ¼
A for that part of the circuit downstream of the module.
• Terminal designations “+” and “-” are for the alarm state.
• Compatible appliances for NACs are:
- 4901-series Horn
- 4903-series A/V
- 4903-series S/V
- 4904-series V/O
• A maximum of 70 appliances can be supported per circuit.

• External wiring is not supervised unless an end-of-line relay is
wired coil to auxiliary power, and Normally Open contacts are
monitored by a system power point. Relay current must be
considered as part of the load.
• All wiring that leaves the building requires overvoltage protection.
Install module 2081-9044 (3 A) or 2081-9028 (¼ A) inside a UL
Listed electrical box wherever wire enters or exits the building. A
maximum of four 2081-9044 Modules may be connected to one
channel. When using the 2081-9044, the maximum alarm current
is reduced to ¼ A for that part of the circuit downstream of the
module.
• All auxiliary power taps are rated at 2 A. The total current
available is 9 amps. This includes NAC, auxiliary, and card
power. Current used for card power by modules plugged into the
PDI, and an current from aux. 24 V, must be deducted from the 9
A available current.
• Voltage rating: 24 VDC (nominal), 2 V P-P ripple (maximum). The
following devices connect to 2 A aux power:
- 2088-series relays and door holders
- 2098-series four-wire smoke detectors
- 2190-series monitor and signal ZAMs
- 4090-series IDNet ZAMs
- 4098-series four-wire smoke detectors and duct detectors
- 2190-9039 Printer
- 4190-9050/9051 4-20 mA ZAMs
- 4603-9101 LCD Annunciator
• Resettable 24 V is obtained from any aux power point by
programming the point as type “resettable 24 V”. Refer to the
Programming Manual for details.

The 4100-5115 Expansion NAC Module (XNAC) is an option board that provides three NACs in
addition to the three NACs already on the XPS. The XNAC plugs onto the XPS.
If you are not installing an XNAC, skip this section and continue on to “Step 6: Troubleshooting.”
The XNAC has three NACs, each rated at 3 A. As on the XPS, there is one status LED for each
NAC.
The XNAC mounts to the top of the XPS as shown in the instructions and Figure 9, below.

Figure 9. Mounting the XNAC
1. Insert plastic standoffs (202-078) and a metal standoff (202-077) to the XPS as shown in
Figure 9.
2. Plug J1 on the XNAC into P3 on the XPS using a header (166-549). The holes on the
edges of the XNAC should be aligned with the tops of the standoffs.
3. Secure the XNAC to the standoffs using four screws.
4. Connect the XNAC’s signal power harness to P1 on the XPS.
The XNAC uses the same wiring rules as TB1 on the XPS. Refer to “Step 4. XPS Field Wiring” to
wire the XNAC to notification appliances. Note that the XNAC cannot be used for auxiliary
power.

This section describes the messages that may appear on the 4100 display when using the XPS.
Trouble messages appear on the left as titles, and possible causes are listed to the right in the text.
Voltage has fallen below an acceptable level. A problem may exist in the wiring, in the power
distribution module, or into dedicated AC power.
The battery is not connected or is depleted. The precise status of the battery is given by the SPS,
RPS, or XBC. These modules report “Low Battery.” This trouble is merely to indicate a wiring
problem to the XPS (blown fuse, not connected, etc.).
Either the XNAC card is missing even though the XPS was configured to have one, or there is an
unconfigured XNAC card physically installed.
This Trouble is active when a NAC-to-NAC short is detected. The NACs that are shorted are also
indicated. Any combination of NACs 1 through 6 can be miswired together. Up to 4 of these
miswiring conditions can be reported.
