CONFIGURE INPUT NORMALITY
Inputs must be configured as normally open or normally closed. The default for all inputs is
open. See Chapter 2, “Alert Inputs,” for further explanation on wiring inputs. It is useful to
disable inputs prior to wiring to prevent an alarm dialout. After this is done, the Model 4100
must initialize the inputs as normal. Do this by programming the unit’s ID number. When
the ID number is set, the Model 4100 looks at the 4 inputs and establishes the present
open/closed state as normal. Any change from that is an alarm. The ID number is also
(usually) the unit phone number. This number is recited during a status report and alarm
dialout report.
To set the status of the inputs as normal:
1. Disable the input
2. Wire the input
3. Program the ID#
4. Enable the input.
The inputs are now considered normal. If a normally closed input becomes open, an alarm
will occur. If a normally open input becomes closed, an alarm will occur.
Interrogating the ID number:
1. Press the WHAT IS key
2. Press the ID# key
The Model 4100 will say “Hello, this is ...” followed by a recitation of the
programmed ID number and a status report.
See Chapter 5, page 34 for a more detailed description of the status report.
INPUT RECOGNITION TIME
—The input recognition time is the length of time an input
must have an alarm continuously before the Model 4100 will recognize the condition. If an
alarm exists and then clears within the recognition time, it is never considered an alarm.
Inputs 1, 2, and 3 have a recognition time of 200 milliseconds. If the alarm exists for 200
milliseconds, the Model 4100 will recognize it as an alarm and initiate a dialout. The
recognition time for the AUX TEMP/input 4 is 3 seconds.
TEMPERATURE LIMITS
The temperature limits are the high and low readings at the temperature sensor that will
cause the Model 4100 to dial out with an alarm message. The range of the temperature input
to measure temperature is -20° F to 150° F.
To program the high temperature limit:
1. Press the SET key
2. Press the HIGH TEMP key
The 4100 will say “Enter high temperature limit.”
