Configurations
Setting the Address
The DIP Switch SW2 is used to set the EPS address as identified in the Panel Programmer job (see the section on Programming for more information).
From left to right, these switches are designated as SW2-1 through SW2-8. The function of these switches is as follows:
•SW2-1. 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.
•SW2-2 through SW1-8. These switches set the card’s address within the FACU. Refer to Figure 5 for a complete list of the switch settings for all
of the possible card addresses.
You must set these switches to the value assigned to the module by the Panel Programmer.

Earth Connect Jumper
The EPS Earth Fault Enable/Disable jumper allows you to enable or disable Earth Fault detection.
• To enable the function: Place the jumper block on pins 1 and 2
• To disable the function: Place the jumper block on pins 2 and 3
Figure 6: Earth Connect Jumper Positions
Earth Fault detection is set to active on one EPS per battery location. A battery location is any cabinet connected to the master 4100 communications
channel without a TIC. A transponder cabinet is another battery location. Only ONE earth fault circuit should be active on all power supplies (EPS, TPS,
SPS, RPS) within a battery location. Disable earth fault detection on all other power supplies at a battery location. Any system that includes one or more
EPS MUST have earth detection from an EPS.
Battery Disconnect Jumper
Jumper P16 selects Low Battery operation.
• Jumper in Top position (pins 2-3) will cause panel shutdown when batteries are depleted.
• Jumper in Bottom position (pins 1-2) will allow panel to continue operating.
For S527 compliance, jumper must be installed to top position of P16.
Note: When jumper is set to pins 2-3, the EPS will not power-up from the battery.
Figure 7: Battery Disconnect Jumper Positions

page 6 579-1015 Rev U
4100ES Extended Power Supply Installation Instructions
Connection to the Power Distribution Module
The EPS is powered by the Power Distribution Module (PDM). The PDM takes power directly from a dedicated AC line and the two backup batteries,
and distributes power to each bay in the cabinet.
To connect the EPS to the PDM using Harness 734-257:
1. Ensure that the PDM is connected to an incoming 120 VAC power source. Keep the AC wires to the right side of the cabinet, in the non-
power-limited area, and at least one inch away from all other wires.
2. Connect the harness connector to the PDM.
3. Connect the separate Red and Black wires (with yellow female terminations) to Plugs P2 (black) and P3 (red) on the EPS.
4. Connect the white and black wires, which terminate together in a white snap-on connector, to the bulkhead connector at the bottom of the
EPS assembly.
Figure 8: PDM/Battery Connections
Connection to the IDNet channel
The EPS connection to the IDNet channel is made through the optional IDNet card installed on the EPS.
• For EPS modules fitted with an IDNet2 card, refer to manual 579-1169 for wiring and programming information.
• For EPS modules fitted with an IDNet1+ card (EPS+), refer to manual 579-1014 for wiring and programming information.

Wiring Overview
General Wiring Guidelines
• Conductors must test free of all grounds.
• All wiring must be done using copper conductors only, unless noted otherwise.
• If shielded wire is used:
- The metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained throughout the entire cable length.
- The entire length of the cable must have a resistance greater than 1 megohm to earthground.
• Underground wiring must be free of all water.
• In areas of high lightning activity, or in areas that have large power surges, the 2081-9027 Transient Suppressor should be used on monitor
points.
• Wires must not be run through elevator shafts.
• Splicing is permitted. All spliced connections must either be soldered (resin-core solder), crimped in metal sleeves, or encapsulated with an
epoxy resin. When soldering or crimped metal sleeves are used, the junction must be insulated with a high-grade electrical tape that is as
sound as the original insulating jacket. Shield continuity must be maintained throughout.
• A system ground must be provided for earth detection and lightning protection devices. This connection must comply with approved earth
detection per NFPA780.
• Only system wiring can be run together in the same conduit.
Power-Limited Guidelines
• Non-power limited field wiring (AC power, batteries, City connection) must be installed and routed in the shaded areas shown in Figure 9.
• Power-limited field wiring must be installed and routed in the non-shaded shown in Figure 9, with the exception of City wiring. Excess slack
should be kept to a minimum inside the back box enclosure. The wiring should be neatly dressed and bundled together using wire ties. Anchor
power-limited wiring to tie points.
• Tie the wiring located between bays to the internal wiring troughs, if applicable.
• When powering remote units or switching power through relay contacts, power for these circuits must be provided by a power-limited power
supply listed for fire-protective signaling use.
Figure 9: Power-Limited Wiring Guidelines
Class B IDNAC Wiring
The EPS has three SLCs for power and communication wiring.
Each SLC powers and communicates with up to 127 IDNAC devices. The EPS is wired to compatible devices and appliances, such as the TrueAlert ES
and TrueAlert Addressable lines (both multi and fixed candela), using Class B circuitry.
Class B wiring allows “T” tapping. EPS wiring is inherently supervised due to individual device level communications. End-of-line resistors are not
required.

page 8 579-1015 Rev U
4100ES Extended Power Supply Installation Instructions
Device Wiring Guidelines
Review the following guidelines for devices before you begin the field wiring.
• Only IDNAC devices and other compatible devices are allowed on the SLCs. See the appendix for a list of compatible devices.
• Maximum of 127 devices or 139 unit loads per channel. The maximum number of visuals that can be synchronized on one circuit is 127.
• Maximum of six isolators between any appliance and SLC terminals. Maximum 12 isolators per SLC.
• Maximum of 30 devices connected directly to any isolator terminal pair.
• All wiring is 20 AWG to 12 AWG.
• The required wiring is unshielded Twisted Pair. This wiring must have a capacitive rating of less than 60 pF/ft and a minimum 3 twists (turns)
per foot. Consult your local sales channel if shielded wiring is present.
• All wiring is supervised and power-limited.
• The maximum alarm current is 3 A per circuit.
• Maximum cable load is 10,000 feet (3,048 m) per channel. Maximum wire length from panel to any device is 4,000 feet (762 m).
• The nominal rating is 29 VDC.
• The total available current from the EPS is 9 A.
• All visible appliances wired from an EPS are synchronized to appliances on SPS, XPS, TPS, 4009A, 4009T and other EPS within the system.
Appliances wired from TrueAlert Adapter (4905-9816) are not synchronized to other system appliances.
• For outdoor wiring, you require transient suppression 2081-9044 (250 mA, maximum 2500 ft branch) or 2081-9028 (1000 ft branch). Consult
your local sales channel for more information.
• Consult your sales support channel for installations outside of these guidelines.
IDNAC Speaker Wiring Application Guidelines
Note: TrueAlert ES speaker appliances supervise connected audio circuits for open-circuit conditions and report those troubles to the host FACU via
the EPS. The speaker appliances can also detect short-circuit conditions, with the EPS reporting such events as an open circuit and the panel reporting
them as 'AUDIO WIRING TROUBLE'. The amplifier electronics and the power supply of a connected audio NAC must still supervise the circuit for short-
circuit conditions and earth faults.
Do not mix TrueAlert ES speakers with conventional speakers on an audio NAC.
IDNAC wire length limitations dictate the maximum audio NAC wire run length between a TrueAlert ES speaker and the connected 4100ES amplifier.
The maximum IDNAC wire run length from EPS to device, with a Repeater extension, is 8,000 ft. Since the maximum distance between an amplifier
and the EPS is 2,500 ft over RUI/RUI+, the total allowable distance between amplifier and TrueAlert ES device speaker is 10,500 ft. This distance may be
further restricted by the Speaker Circuit Wiring Distance Tables of the connected amplifier.
CLASS B Audio Wiring: Connect a maximum of 127 IDNAC speakers to a Class B-wired audio NAC. A Class B-wired audio NAC connected to TrueAlert
ES speakers may employ T-Tap and Wire-Branch wiring topologies.
Note: Do not connect an End-Of-Line-Resistor to a Class B wired audio NAC connected to TrueAlert ES speakers.
CLASS A Audio Wiring: Connect a maximum 70 TrueAlert ES speakers to a Class A audio NAC. Speakers must be wired in a standard Class A-loop
fashion.
Note: With the exception above, audio NAC wiring connected to TrueAlert ES speakers must follow the requirements of the connected 4100ES ampli-
fier.
Ferrite Beads
Ferrite beads must be used for Class B wiring.
1. Install the ferrite bead close to the EPS field wiring terminals for lowest radiated emissions (before the wires leave the box).
2. Loop the wires through the bead as shown.
Figure 10: Ferrite Bead Installation

page 9 579-1015 Rev U
4100ES Extended Power Supply Installation Instructions
Class B Wiring Tables
Use the following tables to calculate the wiring distance.
Note:
Use the UTP Limit for Speaker and Speaker/Visible Devices Based on Communication table in Figure 12 for TrueAlert ES Speakers and Speaker/Visible
appliances in place of the UTP Wiring Limit Based on Communication table in Figure 11.
Maximum wiring distance is the shorter of the distance limits as calculated by alarm current voltage drop or by reaching the communications distance
limit.
Figure 11: Class B Wiring Tables
Note: Although the required wire for IDNAC circuits is twisted pair (controlled impedance) wiring, some applications will wish to take advantage of
existing wiring that is not twisted pair. This is only allowed if both conductors of the IDNAC circuit reside in the same metal conduit, and only under cer-
tain conditions. Check with your local sales office before using wiring that is not twisted pair.

4100ES Extended Power Supply Installation Instructions
Class B Wiring to Devices
To connect the EPS to appliances using Class B wiring:
1. Route the wire from the + and the - outputs on the EPS IDNAC terminal blocks (TB1, TB2 or TB3) to the appropriate inputs on a peripheral
notification appliance.
2. Route wire from the first appliance to the next one. T-tapping is allowed. Repeat for each appliance.
3. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each IDNAC output you want to use.
Note:
- Notification appliances are rated per individual nameplate label. Maintain correct polarity on terminal connections.
- Each IDNAC + and - terminal is rated for two identical wires. This allows up to four Class B T-TAP circuits directly from each IDNAC
terminal block. See Figure 13 .
Figure 13: Class B Wiring
4009 IDNAC Repeater
Using a 4009 IDNAC Repeater extends the possible wiring distance and increases the current capacity of an IDNAC channel. Each IDNAC repeater has
a capacity of 3 A, and regenerates the IDNAC signal. Models 4009-9601 (platinum enclosure) and 4009-9602 (red enclosure) are compatible with the
EPS. Refer to installation instructions 579-1019 for wiring details. All IDNAC devices wired to the IDNAC repeater are synchronised to IDNAC devices
wired to other EPS within the system.
Dual Class A Isolator (DCAI)
To wire an IDNAC as a Class A circuit, one or more DCAI modules (4100-6103) is required. Each DCAI includes 2 circuits, Class A, with fault isolation.
Refer to 579-1029 for wiring details and installation instructions. Synchronisation of audible/visible devices is maintained with the use of DCAI.
TrueAlert ES Speakers and Speaker/Visible appliances wired in a Class A circuit must use UTP Wiring Limit for Speaker and Speaker/Visible Devices
Based on Communication in Figure 12. The wiring limit distances shown in this table apply to maximum wiring loop length. The final maximum loop
length is the shorter of this value or the value from UTP Wiring Limit Based on Alarm Current in Figure 11.
AUX/NAC Wiring
Calculating Class B wiring with Isolators
When using Isolators, the maximum wire distance of each of these SLC branches from panel to any device is the smaller of the values obtained from
the UTP Wiring Limit Based on Communication table in Figure 11, and the Equation 1. See Figure 11 for the ohms per 1000 ft.
Note: Each IDNac + and - terminal is rated for 2 identical wires. This allows up to 4 Class B T-TAP circuits directly from each IDNac terminal block. See
Figure 15.
Figure 14: Equation 1 Maximum SLC Wire Branch Length Based on Appliance Alarm Current Load

page 12 579-1015 Rev U
4100ES Extended Power Supply Installation Instructions
• Add the alarm loads of all the devices on an SLC wire branch and apply to Equation 1.
• Add the unit loads for all devices on an SLC wire branch and the number of isolators and apply to UTP Wiring Limit Based on Communication
in Figure 11.
Maximum wire resistance protected by 1 isolator is 1.5 ohm (total, both wires).
Wire the devices as instructed in the Class B Wiring to Devices sections section.

Troubleshooting
AUX/NAC Terminal
The AUX/NAC terminal block is located on the top right corner of the EPS.
Through the ES Panel Programmer, this point can be configured as either a 24 V auxiliary (AUX) power or as a simple reverse polarity Notification
Appliance Circuit (NAC).
Figure 16: AUX/NAC Terminal
Table 2: AUX/NAC Wiring Specification
Voltage rating: 24 V Special Application
Rating: 2A, maximum.
Wiring gauge: 18 AWG (min.)
to 12 AWG (max.).
Wiring notes:
1. All wiring from the AUX/NAC is power limited.
2. Conductors must test free of all grounds and stray voltages before connection to appliances and panel.
3. Terminate Class B NACs as shown using 733- 894. For Canadian applications, mount end-of-line resistor to Simplex-US Model 431537 EOL
plate in accordance with ULC-S527.
4. If circuit is terminated with a 10k EOLR, at the terminals, remove this resistor before wiring.
5. If wiring is routed outside the building, use of a listed secondary protector is required. Use 2081-9028 or 2081-9044. A protector must be
installed at each building exit/entrance. Each 2081-9028 adds 0.2 ohms wiring resistance. 2081-9044 adds 6 ohms wiring resistance, and will
greatly reduce wiring distance.

Low Battery The battery voltage is below the 24 V nominal level by 10% or more.
Depleted/Missing Battery The battery is either below 20 V or completely undetected.
Card Overcurrent The EPS is drawing more current than it should. Check for faults on the circuit.
Charger The battery charger is either defective or being heavily loaded by batteries. Read charger current at front panel,
if charger current is approximately 3 A, batteries are likely loading the charger. Remove battery connection and
measure the output of the EPS. If the output is 27.6 (or close, temperature dependent), there is a possibility of
depleted batteries or a bad set of batteries. Allow batteries to charge or replace them if they do not take a charge.
Extra Device Appears if one or more extra devices (i.e., devices that have not been configured for the IDNAC channel) are one
the system. Only one message appears, regardless of the number of extra devices found.
Earth Fault Search Comes up during the Earth Fault Search diagnostic function. Once the search is initiated, the front panel display
indicates how far along the search process has progressed (10%, 25%…75%), and then shows the results of the
search. The result either identifies the offending circuit or indicates that the earth fault could not be found. EPS
circuits (IDNet, IDNAC, and aux power) are searched. System alarm and trouble processing is suspended during
the search.
Short Circuit Appears when a short is detected on the IDNAC channel. This status clears automatically when the short circuit is
removed.
Channel Fail Appears when each device on the IDNet channel has been configured, and when none of the devices are
communicating on the channel. This message does not appear if there are no configured devices on the IDNAC
channel.
