General Information

Review the following items for general information about the relay modules.

• All relay module contacts are Form C, dry contacts, meaning the Common terminal is connected to the Normally Closed terminal when the

relay's coil is in the de-energized state.

• Relay operation must be programmed, using the Panel Programmer. Programming a relay involves assigning a software point type to the relay.

This point type determines the system list to which the relay point is assigned and consequently the operation of the relay when an alarm,

trouble, and supervisory condition occurs.

• Feedback loop circuits function as inputs to the system. Feedback circuits are present on all 4100 relay cards, and on both the 4-relay/10

A and 4-relay/2 A upgrade cards. See below for programming details on the 4100-3206. Typically, feedback circuits connect to a set of NO

or NC contacts on a motor or the sail switch on a damper, allowing the state of the device to be monitored. In some situations, the state of

the feedback point is used as a trigger within a custom control equation, allowing the system to react in one way when the contact is in one

position and another way when the contact is in the other position.

• Always disconnect power from the system before installing a relay module.

A Note on Panel Programming for the 4100-3206

From the panel's perspective, the 4100-3206 appears to be functionally the same as the 4120-3003. The 4100-3206, however, does not have the

feedback function that is present in the other assemblies. In the Programmer, the feedback points still appear, but are pre-assigned the point type

"UNUSED" and have their custom label pre-assigned to read "FEEDBACK NOT AVAILABLE."

If the 4100-3206 is not available as a selection in the version of the Programmer being used, the 4120-3003 another option can be used to program

this card. If the 4120-3003 anothercard is programmed, the feedback points should be left with their default point type. The label should be manually

changed to "FEEDBACK NOT AVAILABLE" to avoid confusion when viewing the points.

Environmental Requirements

Install the relay modules in an environment that is within the following:

Temperature: 0° to 120° F

Humidity: 93% Relative Humidity @ 90° F

Setting Switches

Switch SW1 is a bank of eight DIP switches. From left to right (see Figure 1) these switches are designated as SW1-1 through SW1-8. The function of

these switches is as follows:

• SW1-1. This switch sets the baud rate for the serial communication line running between the Relay Daughter card and the Panel CPU. Set this

switch to ON.

• SW1-2 through SW1-8. These switches set the card's address within the 4100 FACP. (These switches must be set to the value assigned to the

card by the Panel Programmer.) Refer to Figure 2 for a complete list of the switch settings for all of the possible card addresses.

4100/4120- Series and 4010ES Relay Modules Installation Instructions

Wiring

This section contains guidelines and instructions for wiring the relay modules.

General Guidelines

Make sure these guidelines are accounted for before wiring:

• All wires must be 18 AWG, twisted/shielded pair.

• All wiring is supervised.

• Conductors must test free of all grounds.

- Power must come from a Simplex-approved power supply.

• 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 earth ground.

• 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.

• Any wiring leaving the building requires overload protectors (2081-9044). Use one overvoltage protector where wiring leaves the building and

another where the wiring enters the other building.

page 17 579-220 Rev. F

4100/4120- Series and 4010ES Relay Modules Installation Instructions

Power-Limited Guidelines

Make sure these guidelines are accounted for before wiring for power-limited systems:

• Non-power limited field wiring (AC power, batteries, City connection) must be installed and routed in the shaded areas shown in Figure 15.

• Power-limited field wiring must be installed and routed in the non-shaded areas shown in Figure 15, 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 the

wire ties provided with the equipment. Anchor power-limited wiring to tie points, as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15: Power-Limited Wiring

• 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 one of the following in

order to wire them as power-limited circuits.

- MSS, MSS2, ESS (4010ES), UPS, XPS, or RPS-style power supply (in legacy 4100 systems).

- The 4100-1108 Power Supply (8 A).

- ES-PS (EPS in legacy 4100 systems).

- A power-limited power supply that is listed for fire-protective signaling use.

• Auxiliary power only: In order to connect a circuit using power-limited wiring, the devices being powered must all be addressable, or a UL Listed

EOL relay must be used to supervise the circuit. Refer to the figure below for wiring directions for the EOL relay.

4100-3204 Wiring

Note:

The information in this section is also applicable to the 4010-9908 4-Point AUX Relay Card (4010ES)

The 4100-3204 Relay Module includes 4 relays, each rated at 2 A. Each relay controls two sets of contacts and a separate 3 A fuse protects each set of

contacts. Four unsupervised feedback circuits, which are typically used to determine the state of a separate set of contacts (such as the sail switch on a

damper), are also provided. For battery calculation purposes, the module draws 18 mA in the normal supervisory condition and 70 mA with the relays

activated.

All contacts are Form C, dry contacts, meaning the Common terminal is connected to the Normally Closed terminal when the relay's coil is in the de-

energized state. The card's 30 VDC load capacity is 2 A* resistive/0.5 A inductive, and its 120 VAC load capacity is 0.5 A resistive/ 0.5 A inductive. The

feedback circuits are rated at 24 VDC, 850 uA maximum short circuit current, with maximum line resistance of 100 Ohms. The feedback circuit is

power-limited and intended for connection to contacts only. If the relay contacts are not switching power from the MSS, MSS2, ESS (4010ES), UPS, SPS,

XPS, RPS, ES-PS or ES-XPS for 4100ES systems; SPS, XPS, RPS, EPS, UPS for legacy 4100 systems or 4100-1108 power supply, or a power-limited power

supply that is UL-listed for fire protective signaling use, the feedback circuits are non-power-limited. Refer to for the designations of the contacts and

feedback circuits.
