SYSTEM REACCEPTANCE TEST AFTER SOFTWARE CHANGES - To
ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with
NFPA72-1996, Chapter 7 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.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating and programming manuals.
These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and
associated equipment. Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) 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 Simplex.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD - Disconnect electrical power when making any
internal adjustments or repairs. Servicing should be performed by qualified
Simplex Representatives.
RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY - This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in accordance with
the instruction manual, may cause interference to radio communications. It has
been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A computing device
pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC Rules, which are designed to provide
reasonable protection against such interference when operated in a commercial
environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause
interference in which case the user at his own expense will be required to take
whatever measures may be required to correct the interference.

Before you start using the 4190 Graphical Command Center Installation and
Checkout Instructions, it’s important to understand the conventions used in this
publication.
The following conventions are used in this publication to identify special names
or text.
• When a membrane panel key (located below the display) is referenced in
this manual, it is normally shown between angle brackets. Examples are
<ALARM SILENCE> and <SYSTEM RESET>.
• Italic type indicates important terms or titles of publications, such as the
4190 Graphical Command Center Installation and Checkout Instructions.
• Text enclosed in quotation marks indicates the title of a chapter or section of
the manual, such as “How to Use this Publication.”
• Bulleted lists, such as this one, provide you with information. They are also
used to indicate alternatives in numbered procedural steps.
• Numbered lists indicate procedures with steps that you must carry out
sequentially.
The following conventions are used to describe keys and key combinations.
• Key names appear in bold type and in capital letters and are referred to by
their names only, without the word “key.”For example, “press SHIFT”
means press the keyboard key labeled “Shift.”
• A plus sign (+) between two key names means that you hold down the first
key while pressing the second key. For example, “press SHIFT+F1”means
hold down the SHIFT key while pressing the F1 key. If the key sequence
includes three or more key names, hold down all of the keys except for the
last one, and then press and release the last key. For example, “press
CTRL+ALT+DEL”means hold down the CTRL and ALT keys, and then
press the DEL key.
• A comma between key names means that you press and release the first key,
and than press and release the second key, and so on. For example, “press
ALT, F, P”means press ALT and release it, press F and release it, and press
P and release it.
• Arrow keys is the collective name for the UP ARROW, DOWN ARROW,
LEFT ARROW, and RIGHT ARROW keys.

This publication describes how to install and check out the 4190 Graphical
Command Center (GCC). The 4190 GCC is a node on a 4120 Network used to
annunciate and control the points contained within the network. If you are
installing additional Network Interface Cards (up to four can be installed in one
GCC), you can control up to four networks from one common GCC. The 4190
graphical interface software provided is a MicrosoftWindows-based
application which makes it easy to interact with the network by entering input
through a keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen.
This chapter discusses the topics listed in the following table. Refer to the page

When you receive the equipment, immediately inspect the packaging for any
signs of shipping damage. If there are any signs of shipping damage file a claim
with the carrier and notify Simplex.
If there are no signs of shipping damage to the packaging proceed with
unpacking the equipment. Remove all protective plastic covering, Styrofoam
packaging material, and any other packaging material that may have been used.
After the equipment is unpacked, inspect it for damage. Look for cracked cases,
shattered CRTs, etc. If the equipment appears to be damaged notify Simplex; do
not proceed with the equipment installation.
After the equipment is unpacked, locate the shipping papers that came with the
equipment and inventory the equipment received. If equipment is missing, notify
Simplex. If you received all the equipment listed on the shipping papers, proceed
with the hardware installation.

When you are locating the equipment, take into consideration anything that may
affect the installation. You may want to consider the following items:
• Will it be difficult to run cables to the 4190 Graphical Command
Center?
• Will the equipment be installed in a dusty or dirty environment, or will
the system be exposed to contaminants?
• Is the location close enough to any locations you might want to get to
quickly?
• Is it a good location for future expansion?
Positioning the Equipment
Considerations

After choosing the location for the equipment, you are ready to connect the
equipment in preparation for the installation of the software.
Note: If you need to install additional cards into the GCC, or
modify existing card settings, please do so before
connecting the equipment.
To install the hardware, place the PC in the desired location and connect the
equipment you will use with the system (printer, mouse, etc.). A typical 4190
Graphical Command Center hardware configuration is shown in Figure 2-1.
Note: Reseat the various PC boards into the motherboard. This
helps ensure that you have complete electrical connections.
The GCC rack-mount versions (17-inch and 19-inch monitors) are shown in
