READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow the instructions in this installation manual. These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to
this product and associated equipment. Product operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY SIMPLEX™ PRODUCT THAT APPEARS DAMAGED
Upon unpacking your Simplex product, inspect the contents
of the carton for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify an authorized Simplex
product supplier.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD
Disconnect electrical field power when making any internal adjustments or repairs. All repairs should be
performed by a representative or an authorized agent of your local Simplex product supplier.
STATIC HAZARD
Static electricity can damage components. Handle as follows:
• Ground yourself before opening or installing components.
• Prior to installation, keep components wrapped in anti-static material at all times.
EYE SAFETY HAZARD
Under certain fibreoptic application conditions, the optical output of this device may exceed eye safety limits. Do
not use magnification (such as a microscope or other focusing equipment) when viewing the output of this device.
FCC RULES AND REGULATIONS – PART 15.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment
is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
SYSTEM REACCEPTANCE TEST AFTER SOFTWARE CHANGES
To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with
NFPA72® after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion
of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that
other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50
devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.

Introduction to Amplifiers
Introduction
This publication describes the installation procedure for the 4100U and 4100ES Fire Alarm Control Units (FACU) family of digital and analog amplifiers.
Important:
Verify FACU System Programmer, Executive, and Slave Software compatibility when installing, or replacing system components. Refer to
the Technical Support Information and Downloads website for compatibility information.
Overview
The digital and analog audio amplifiers provide analog audio power to the system speaker circuits. Digital amplifiers decode digitally encoded input
signals and analog amplifiers receive analog input signals. A speaker circuit consists of one or more speakers that are driven by the same physical
wiring. All of the 100 W amplifiers described in this document are single channel amplifiers; that is, each speaker circuit is driven by the same audio
signal. See the next section for a list of all 100 W amplifiers.
