This document describes the installation and operation of the Simplex 4190-9011/
9012 Fiber Optic Audio Repeater. The 4190-9011 Master Unit and the 4190-
9012 Slave Unit are option modules that mount within a 4100 or 4120 Fire Alarm
Control Panel (FACP).
The Simplex Fiber Optic Audio Repeater is designed to “drop-and-repeat” one,
unidirectional, line-level, 600-ohm audio signal. The audio repeater uses either
62.5/125 µ or 50/125 µ fiber optic cables (for distance limitations reference
Table 4). The Fiber Optic Audio Repeater can be utilized in one-way drop-and-
repeat or self-healing ring systems.
The following is a list of additional documentation that may aid you in the
installation of the 4190-9011/9012 Fiber Optic Audio Repeater.

IMPORTANT: You must maintain a minimum two-inch bend radius
on the fiber optic cables. A bend radius less than
two inches may permanently damage the optical
fibers. (See Figure 3.)
Solid Lines indicate the
minimum requirements for a
Class B fiber configuration.
Broken Lines (in addition to
Solid Lines) indicate the
minimum requirements for a
Class A fiber configuration.
Notes:
See the 4100 Field Wiring
Diagrams (841-731 or 841-995)
for more information.

The master and slave units mount in the same manner. These units are intended
for use in 4100 and 4120 panels only. Follow Steps 1 through 3 and refer to
Figure 3 below to install an audio repeater.
1. Using the supplied bracket, install a 1/4-inch, 6-32 screw and star washer in
each of the four mounting holes on the face of the bracket. Do not tighten
yet.
2. Install the audio repeater onto the plate with the fiber optic connectors either
up or down dependent on the desired physical requirements of the job.
Slide the audio repeater so the mounting screws bottom out in the slot on the
audio repeater.
IMPORTANT: To ensure a proper ground connection, tighten the
screws sufficiently for the star washers to cut the
plating on the audio repeater.
3. Install the bracket/audio repeater into a standard 4100/4120 two-inch
motherboard slot using four mounting screws (supplied). Install to the left
of any power supplies or amplifiers so that the audio repeater is on the left
of the bracket. This allows the bracket to act as a shield against
interference from the transformers and electronics of the power supplies or
amplifiers.

After installing the audio repeater and bracket, three connections are required:
•Audio input (or output)
•Power (24 VDC)
•Supervision (fault) loop
The audio repeater is designed for low level audio signals. It must be interfaced
at the 1 V p-p level. The source of the low level audio is usually the output of an
audio controller card (562-894). Using the interconnect harness supplied, cut
the harness to length. The cable needs to be stripped and installed into
Terminals 4 and 5 of the audio terminal strip on the audio repeater. The shield is
not used. Cut it off close to the jacket of the cable. The 3-pin connector on the
other end of the cable is installed either at the audio controller output, or as part
of the daisy-chained loop from the last amplifier in the loop.
Reference Figure 4 on Page 8 for wiring connections.
As with the master audio repeater, the slave audio repeater must be interfaced at
the 1 V p-p level. The destination of the low-level audio may be one of three
possible locations:
•The input to a 25 W amplifier
•The input to a 100 W amplifier
•The network input to an audio controller
Using the shielded interconnect harness supplied, cut the harness to length. The
cable needs to be stripped and installed into Terminals 1 and 2 of the audio
terminal strip on the audio repeater. The shield is connected to Terminal 3 of the
audio terminal strip on the audio repeater. For connection to an amplifier, the
3-pin connector on the other end of the cable is installed at the input of the first
amplifier in the loop. If connecting to an audio controller network input, the
connectors at both ends of the cable need to be cut off and the wires stripped.
Connect the black and white wires to TB2-1 and TB2-2 of the audio controller
network input.
Reference Figure 5 on Page 9 for wiring connections.

Note: The audio controller and amplifiers must be set up for a 1 V p-p input.
This is done by ensuring the following components are removed:
•Audio Controller (562-894): R85, R90 and C118 must be
removed.
•25 W Amplifier (562-904 – 25 V or 70 V): R28, R31 and C28
must be removed.
•100 W Amplifier (562-907 – 25 V or 70 V): R4, R10 and C5 must
be removed.
The audio repeaters require 100 mA at 24 VDC. The connection for power is a
removable two place terminal connector on the audio repeater. Using the power
harness supplied, cut the wires to length by removing one end of the harness.
Power may be connected to an applicable tap on a power supply in the host
panel.
The master and slave audio repeaters have two sets of contacts that are closed as
long as the audio repeater is receiving a carrier. A loss of carrier to input “A” or
“B” causes the respective contacts to open. In order to supervise the audio
repeater fiber connections these contacts are typically connected in series with
the EOL resistor in a local monitor circuit such as a zone or ZAM. If separate
annunciation is desired, two monitor circuits are required.
Reference Figures 4 and 5 and the notes on Page 9.

Reference Figures 4 and 5 and the notes below for possible master and slave
connections.
Notes for Figures 4 and 5:
1. Input power is 24 to 28.8 VDC, 125 mA maximum.
2. Supervision may be via a 4100 or MAPNET®monitor point. See 4100
Field Wiring Diagrams (841-731 or 841-995) for 4100 EOL resistor value
and connections. See MAPNET II Field Wiring Diagrams (841-804 and
841-996) for MAPNET device EOL resistor value and connections.
3. All wiring is internal.
4. All circuits are power limited. For power limited systems, wires and cable
must be routed in the power limited area only. See panel label or “General
Wiring Precautions” in the 4100 Field Wiring Diagrams (841-731) for
specific information.
5. Power must come from an approved Simplex Power Supply. See the 4100
Field Wiring Diagrams (841-731 or 841-995) for suitable power supplies.
6. Neatly dress all cables that are cut and stripped.

If you are experiencing poor or no audio from the fiber optic audio repeater,
refer to Table 6 below.
Table 6. Troubleshooting
Check Comments
Does the master/slave module have the correct
voltage input? The voltage input should be between 24 and 28.8 VDC.
Is the power LED ON? Check input for voltage.
Are both carrier LEDs ON? ON = a good fiber signal
Is the correct signal level present at the master
input? The level should be 1V P-P Audio.
Is the correct signal level present at the slave
output? The level should be 1V P-P Audio.
Are the correct connectors being used? ST Connectors
Is the optical connector on the master/slave clear
of any obstruction or dirt?
Are the ends of the fiber connectors free of all dust
or dirt?
Is the fiber broken in the connector?
Is the fiber protruding from the tip of the connector?
Use Fiber Optic Inspection Scope (FT890A)
Is the fiber connection properly seated? Visually check as required.
Is the fiber optic cable pulled to sharply around a
corner?
A minimum two-inch bend radius on the fiber
optic cables must be maintained. A bend radius
less than two inches may permanently damage
the optical fibers.
Is the correct size fiber cable being used?
62.5/125 multi-mode graded index is preferred.
However, 50/125 cable is also acceptable. See
the “Specifications” section of this publication for
distance limitations.
Does the fiber cable pass light in any amount? Use a flashlight or similar source to conduct the
test.
Does the fiber run have too much attenuation for
the system? There should be a maximum of loss of 10db. Fiber Tester - TS055A Optical Source - TS056A
Note: If problems still exist, set the system up locally by using a small fiber patch cord (EFN062-002M) with short copper
lengths. This test may be setup with or without the fiber units.
Do not attempt to repair the unit. In case of trouble, please contact your local
Simplex Time Recorder Company branch office for repairs.
Consult your local telephone directory for the phone number listing of the
Simplex branch office, or call the Simplex Customer Assistance Department at
[phone], and request the telephone number for the Simplex branch office
in your area.
