1.1 About this Manual
This manual provides information for creating and maintaining configuration files that contain
site-specific information for 4100U-S1 installations, based on standardized templates.
This manual does not cover how to install or configure hardware items. Refer to LT0394
4100U-S1 Installation and Maintenance Manual for details about this.
This manual does not cover configuration of networked 4100U-S1 systems. Contact your
local Simplex office/dealer for assistance with this.
The manual is divided into the following chapters:
Chapter 2 describes the 4100U-S1 system hardware and how this affects the
configuration procedure.
Chapter 3 describes the 4100U programming tools used for creating and updating
the configuration for a 4100U-S1.
Chapter 4 details the procedure for creating a configuration file for a new 4100U-S1
installation, using the configuration templates.
Chapter 5 describes how to add addressable devices to the configuration for the in-
built IDNet loop.
Chapter 6 details the configuration settings for addressable devices and how these
affect the operation of the devices.
Chapter 7 describes how to add zone display modules for more zones to the
configuration. This is for when an existing system is being extended to have more
zones.
Chapter 8 describes how to add expansion modules such as a second IDNet loop to
the configuration. This will apply to a new system which has additional modules over
the basic 4100U-S1, or to an existing 4100U-S1 installation that is being extended.
Chapter 9 describes how custom control equations are written and entered. Some
examples are given.
Chapter 10 describes how to configure the panel to control AS1668 Fans.
Chapter 11 describes how to build the configuration and download it to the panel.
Chapter 12 contains appendices which describe how AS4428.1 operation is
produced in 4100U-S1 using Custom Control equations. This is for reference only,
and is not required reading for normal configuration work.
Appendix A
– a general description of AS4428.1 requirements.
Appendix B
– describes the allocation of internal system resources and custom
control for system-wide functions.
Appendix C
– describes custom control for control key and indicator operation on the
keyboard.
Appendix D
– describes custom control for Alarm Zone Facility operation.
