4100ES Fire Alarm System Installation Guide

4 Introduction to the 4100ES Fire Alarm System

The 4100ES is an expandable fire alarm system that can be used as a standalone system with one host panel, or as a wide-ranging system

with several remote back boxes, with or without multiple host panels. This chapter is an overview of standalone, MINIPLEX®, and network

4100ES system concepts.

Two types of 4100ES Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACU) configurations are described in this manual:

• The ES-PS configuration which refers to FACUs that use a ES Power Supply (ES-PS) as the FACU's CPU's power supply.

The SPS configuration, which refers to FACUS that use a System Power Supply (SPS) card as the FACU’s Central Processing Unit’s

(CPU) powers supply.

• The EPS configuration, which refers to FACUS that have an Extended Power Supply (EPS) module fitted with an IDNET 2 card as the

CPU FACU power supply

4.1 System configurations

The 4100ES is available as a standalone system with one host panel, or as an expansive system with several remote back boxes, with or

without multiple host panels. The type of configuration used depends on the size of the site into which it is being installed.

The following types of configurations are offered:

Standalone. Comprised of one FACU and its assorted notification appliances, initiating devices, and signaling line circuit devices.

MINIPLEX. A standalone system plus remote transponder cabinets, which allow for additional modules to be used. Typically used for

multi-level buildings and small multi-building applications.

Network. A multi-FACU system connected by network cards. Each panel maintains the status and control of its own circuit points while

monitoring and controlling activity at other locations. Network nodes may perform similar tasks, or may be dedicated to specific functions.

This chapter outlines the fundamental concepts of each configuration

4.2 Standalone configuration

The standalone version of the 4100ES is used for smaller or single-building applications. A standalone system is ideally placed into a small

building that requires a limited number of notification appliances and initiating devices.

If a small building is being expanded, or if other buildings are being constructed in the same general area (as in a campus application), the

standalone 4100ES can be expanded into one of the larger systems described later.

4.2.1 System design

The standalone 4100ES uses one FACU (one, two, or three bays) containing the following:

• Central Processing Unit (CPU)

• System Power Supply for the 4100ES FACU (Universal Power Supply for 4100 Legacy Upgrade)

• Optional cards

All appliances and devices are connected to that one FACU, as shown in Figure 1.

page 14 574-848 Rev. BQ

4100ES Fire Alarm System Installation Guide

Figure 1: Standalone 4100ES system

4.3 MINIPLEX configuration

The MINIPLEX version of the 4100ES Fire Alarm System, which is designed for moderately larger applications than the standalone

configuration, allows up to 3000 monitor and/or control points and 3000 annunciator points to be controlled by a single FACU.

page 15 574-848 Rev. BQ

4100ES Fire Alarm System Installation Guide

Like the standalone system, only one CPU is used. Remote Unit Interface (RUI) data and power is distributed from the host panel to remote

boxes called transponder cabinets:

• 4100ES: Transponder interface cards (TICs), located in transponder cabinets, take the RUI data and power directly from the CPU

motherboard and distribute it to modules nearby, thereby expanding the system’s status from standalone to MINIPLEX.

• Legacy 4100: Remote interface cards (RICs), located in transponder cabinets, take the RUI data and power from the remote unit

interface (RUI) card in the host panel and distribute it to modules nearby, thereby expanding the system’s status from standalone to

MINIPLEX.

4.3.1 System design

The MINIPLEX 4100ES FACU must contain the following:

• CPU

• Power: ES PS for the 4100ES (System Power Supply for the 4100ES , Universal Power Supply for 4100 Legacy Upgrade)

• Legacy 4100 only (non-4100ES/4100U): Remote unit interface (RUI) Card

• Optional cards

Each transponder cabinet, meanwhile, must contain a Transponder Interface Card (TIC) and any number of optional cards.

For more information, please refer to Appendix L: Legacy Power Supplies.

4.3.2 RUI communication

Data to and from the CPU may have to be routed over long distances in a MINIPLEX system. An RUI line, routed from either the CPU

motherboard in the 4100ES or the RUI card in some legacy systems, allows the data to travel longer distances. Once the RUI line

terminates at a remote box, the TIC (4100ES) or RIC (Legacy 4100) at that box distributes the CPU’s data to the remote modules.

Figure 2 outlines this process in a typical 4100ES MINIPLEX setup.

page 17 574-848 Rev. BQ

4100ES Fire Alarm System Installation Guide

4.4 Network configuration

The 4100ES can be expanded to a network system by using network interface cards (NICs). When a NIC is installed into a 4100ES host

panel, it is used to connect to up to 98 other network nodes. Nodes may consist of other host 4100ES panels, or they may be completely

different: 4010 FACUs, TrueSite® Workstation, and Voice Command Centers (VCCs) are all examples of what could be used as nodes. A

node is a self-sufficient FACU that controls appliances and devices, which also has the capability of controlling and communicating with

other nodes.

The network configuration supports two prevalent architectures, or wiring configurations: hub or ring, or star. A networked system can also

use a combination of the two.

4.4.1 Hub and star configurations

The hub configuration consists of a main loop with nodes connected in a radial manner. The star configuration consists of several nodes

connected directly to one common node. Physical bridge cards are used for the star configuration. Physical bridges reduce the amount of

wire that would otherwise be needed to connect all nodes in a loop, and therefore cut down on system response time. A combination of

the two classes is illustrated in Figure 3.

Figure 3: Hub/Ring configuration

4.4.2 Connection loops

Network loops can be joined via physical bridge cards. There may be no more than two Class X network loops (two hub configurations)

connected in tandem. For every two loops that are interconnected (using one physical bridge), there can be a maximum of three physical

bridges used in a star configuration. See Figure 4.
