Important Note: The degree to which you are allowed to control the system depends on the passcode assigned to you. See "Logging in and Out of the System" below for details on this. 1 -3 Normal Appearance of Operator Interface Panel Description The 4100 operator interface panel shows the following under normal conditions. • Green power LED is ON — indicating the panel is receiving AC Power. • All other LEDs off. • Alphanumeric display reports that the system is normal, as shown below. SYSTEM IS NORMAL 08:23:45 MON 18- SEPT -00 Note: If the appearance of the operator interface panel is not as shown above, refer to the information in Chapters 2, 3, and 4 for instructions on managing the alarm, supervisory, or trouble condition. 1 -4 Chapter 2 Alarm Conditions Introduction An alarm condition occurs when an initiating device (such as a manual pull station, smoke detector, etc.) activates. The 4100 indicates the presence of the alarm condition through messages it displays on the alphanumeric display, by flashing the ALARM indicator, and by activating the building's notification appliances (horns and strobes). Note: An alarm condition is a serious event, indicating the possibility of fire danger. In addition to using the 4100 operator interface panel to investigate and manage alarm conditions as described in this chapter, you should also be aware of any facility- specific procedures that you may be required to follow. In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.

Alarm has Occurred • Red LED, labeled Fire Alarm flashes • Tone -alert (piezo buzzer) pulses • LEDs on remote annunciators may illuminate • The alphanumeric display on the interface panel indicates an alarm condition. The exact manner in which the alphanumeric display reports information for the alarm condition depends on whether the system's Display First Alarm Option is enabled. - If Display 1 Alarm Option is Enabled. The display alternates between two screens similar to Screen 1 and Screen 2 shown below. Screen 1 is a tally screen indicating the total number of fire alarms, priority 2 alarms, supervisory conditions, and trouble conditions present on the panel. Screen 2 is a detailed description of the first alarm received by the panel. * *FIRE ** Press (ACK) to review. Screen 1 FIRE = 1 PRI2 =0 SUPV =O TRBL =O Screen 2 FIRST FLOOR EAST WING ROOM 31 PULL STATION - If Display 1 Alarm Option is not enabled. Only a screen similar to Screen 1 appears, indicating the total number of alarm conditions present on the system. Overview - The first step in managing an alarm condition is to acknowledge the alarm. Acknowledging an Acknowledging alarm does two important things: Alarms • It records the time and date at which you observed the presence of an alarm, trouble, or supervisory condition on the operator interface panel and stores that information in the system's historical log. • When you press the acknowledge key, the system displays specific data on the location of the alarm. It is important to understand that the 4100 can be configured with either Global or Individual Acknowledge. These options function as follows: • Global Acknowledge. When global acknowledge is enabled, one press of the ALARM ACK key acknowledges every abnormal point currently reporting an alarm status. This is helpful when a series of devices enter an alarm state (for example, all of the smoke detectors in an area of the building) and you want to acknowledge all of them at the same time. • Individual Acknowledge. If individual acknowledge is enabled, the ALARM ACK key must be pressed to individually acknowledge each alarm. Individual acknowledge must be selected if the panel is providing proprietary receiving service in accordance with NFPA72. The ALARM ACK key, which is used to acknowledge alarms (either globally or individually), is located just beneath the SYSTEM ALARM LED Continued on next page 2 -2 Acknowledging an Alarm, Continued Globally Use the following procedure if the Global Acknowledge option is enabled on your 4100 system. Acknowledging Alarms 1. Unlock and open the enclosure door. Read the alphanumeric display on the interface panel. It reports the number of alarm conditions as shown below. * *FIRE ** Press <ACK> to review. Fire =1 PRI2 = 0 SUPV = 0 TRBL =O 2. Press the ALARM ACK key. Read and follow the instructions on the alphanumeric display. After you press the ALARM ACK key, the system responds as follows: • The tone -alert silences and the alphanumeric display reports pertinent information about the alarm, such as the following: FIRST FLOOR EAST WING ROOM 31 PULL STATION FIRE ALARM • The SYSTEM ALARM LED changes from flashing to steady ON, and all alarm conditions are acknowledged. • Pressing the ALARM ACK key again displays information on the next alarm. Continue to do this to review all alarms in the system. Individually Use the following procedure if the Individual Acknowledge option is enabled on your 4100 Acknowledging system. Alarms 1. Unlock and open the enclosure door. Read the alphanumeric display on the interface panel. It reports the number of alarm conditions as shown below. * *FIRE ** Press <ACK> to review. Fire =1 PRI2 = 0 SUPV = 0 TRBL =O 2. Press the ALARM ACK key. A report similar to the one shown below appears. Read and follow the instructions on the alphanumeric display. FIRST FLOOR EAST WING ROOM 31 Press ACK key to acknowledge ALARM PULL STATION ALARM Continued on next page 2 -3 Acknowledging an Alarm, Continued Individually 3. Press the ALARM ACK key again. Read the report data. Repeat this procedure to review all Acknowledging reports. Reports are displayed in chronological order. Alarms, (continued) • Tone -alert silences when the last unacknowledged alarm is acknowledged. • System Alarm LED is ON, but is no longer flashing. 2 -4 Silencing an Alarm Overview When an alarm condition exists, various signals (horns and strobes), auxiliary relays, the city connection (which is the link to the local fire department or central station monitoring service), and the tone -alert may activate. The ALARM SILENCE key turns OFF all devices that are programmed to turn off when it is pressed. Typically, this will be the audible notification appliances (horns). Note: Depending on the programming of the system, some devices may not turn off when the ALARM SILENCE key is pressed. At a minimum, the following occurs when the key is pressed. • Turns OFF signal circuits (which usually connect to the Notification Appliances) • Turns ON the ALARM SILENCED LED • Displays a message indicating the ALARM SILENCE function is activated You should be aware that the following functions affect the operation of the ALARM SILENCE function. • If a Coded Input Device (typically a pull station) activates, the <ALARM SILENCE> key may be ignored until this function has completed coding. Notification appliances (horns) cannot be silenced when a coded station is in alarm, but silence upon coding completion. • If the Alarm Silence Inhibit Option -- which is a timer that inhibits the operation of the ALARM SILENCE function — is enabled, pressing the <ALARM SILENCE> key is ignored until the timer expires. The message "ALARM SILENCE INHIBITED" displays for a short time to indicate the action was not taken. The message "ALARM SILENCE NO LONGER INHIBITED" displays when the timer expires. • If Waterflow Sprinkler Devices are activated, Notification Appliances may or may not be silenced (depending on local code requirements). Usually, a dedicated bell will continue to sound to indicate water flow. • Some visual notification appliances may continue to flash until the system is reset. Using the Alarm Press the <ALARM SILENCE> key and read the display. The alphanumeric display shows signal Silence Key status and the ALARM SILENCE LED turns ON steady. ALARM SILENCE IN PROGRESS i ( 2 -5 Resetting the System Overview The function of the SYSTEM RESET key depends on whether active alarms are present at the time the key is pressed. • Active Alarms Present. Pressing the SYSTEM RESET key when alarms are present attempts to return the system to its normal state. This includes resetting initiating devices (pull stations and smoke detectors, for example), relays (including city relay and door holder relays), notification appliances (horns and strobes), and all LEDs and indicators that have been programmed to be reset with the SYSTEM RESET key. See "Resetting a System with Active Alarms" below for more information. • No Active Alarms Present. Pressing the SYSTEM RESET key when no alarms are present causes the system to perform a hardware reset. See "Performing a Hardware Reset" below for more information. Resetting a System Activated devices (i.e, devices in alarm) can be reset, using the SYSTEM RESET key. Doing this with Active Alarms allows the system to return to a normal state following alarm activation. Follow these steps to perform a System Reset when alarms are present. 1. Press the SYSTEM RESET key. The following message appears. SYSTEM RESET IN PROGRESS 2. One of the following occurs, depending on whether the activated devices reset or not. • If all zones or devices in alarm reset, the SYSTEM ALARM LED flashes. Press the <ALARM ACK> key, and the following message appears. SYSTEM IS NORMAL 8:37:13 MON 18- SEP -00 • If a zone or device remains in alarm and fails to reset, the "SYSTEM RESET IN PROGRESS" message is followed by the message shown below. ALARM PRESENT, SYSTEM RESET ABORTED When this message appears, the system remains in an alarm state. The display indicates the total number of alarms present in the system along with a prompt to use the <ALARM ACK> key to review the points. (These points do not require acknowledgment.) The SYSTEM ALARM LED remains ON to indicate that a fire alarm device is still in the alarm condition. Read the display to determine the type and location of the device. Follow local procedures to investigate the area of the building in alarm. Look for devices that are in an alarm state -- pull stations with the handle down, smoke detectors with their LED lit. Continued on next page 2 -6 r Resetting the System, Continued Performing a A hardware reset reinitializes the state of certain hardware components and is typically used to Hardware Reset reset a Class A Trouble (for example, on a MAPNET, IDNet, or RUI channel) after the problem causing the trouble is resolved. If you attempt to perform a hardware reset without first fixing the problem causing the trouble, the hardware reset fails and the trouble reappears. To perform a hardware reset, press the SYSTEM RESET key when no alarms are present. 2 -7 Disabling a Point that Remains in Alarm Overview If a device remains in alarm and no alarm condition (i.e., smoke or an activated pull station) exists, the 4100 provides a way to inhibit alarm reporting for the malfunctioning point. Disabling a point causes a trouble condition for the point or zone that you disable. The <DISABLE> key, which is used to disable points, may be passcode protected. If it is, you need to first log in to the system using the passcode that enables the key. Refer to "Logging In and Out of the System" in Chapter 1 for information on doing this. Important Notes Be aware of the following issues related to disabling points. • Disabling a point causes the point to NOT report alarm conditions or other status changes. A point should not be disabled unless it is clearly understood that fire detection or security for the area of the building covered by that point will be lost. Appropriate steps must be taken to provide alternate means of protecting the area of the building covered by the disabled point. • If the Service Reset option is enabled, an operator can clear an alarm condition (i.e., successfully perform a system reset) even though the device that caused the alarm remains in a trouble state. The typical application for this would be the case where a malfunctioning initiating device such as a smoke detector (consisting of a base and removable sensor) causes an alarm and activates the city circuit. With this option enabled, the sensor can be removed and the system (including the city circuit) can be reset. Without this option enabled, removing the sensor would cause a trouble, which would prevent the city circuit from being reset. Note: Service Reset is not a UL- Approved option and enabling this option on the panel invalidates the panel's UL certification. Procedure To disable a point in alarm, follow these steps. 1. Press the <ALARM ACK> key to display the point's information on the alphanumeric display. For example: SECOND FLOOR EAST WING ROOM 16 PULL STATION ALARM 2. Press the <DISABLE> key. The alphanumeric display shows the following message. PRESS <ENTER> TO DISABLE MONITOR ZONE: ZNXX Note: XX represents the point to be disabled. Continued on next page 2 -8 Disabling a Point that Remains in Alarm, Continued Procedure, 3. Press the <ENTER> key. The alphanumeric display shows the action taken. (continued) ALARM PRESENT, SYSTEM RESET ABORTED Note: The system indicates a trouble condition each time a point is disabled. It is important to repair the disabled point as soon as possible. Once repaired, the disabled point should be enabled as soon as possible. See "Enabling a Disabled Point" for additional information. 2 -9 Chapter 3 Trouble Conditions Introduction A Trouble message is used to indicate the presence of a circuit break or ground within a system point, or somewhere between the 4100 and one of its points. This chapter describes using the Operator Interface Panel keys to investigate the details of the trouble condition. In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic. Topic See Page # Overview 3 -2 Acknowledging Troubles 3 -4 If the Trouble Doesn't Clear 3 -6 3 -1 Overview How the 4100 When a trouble condition is detected by the 4100, the panel does the following to indicate the Indicates the presence of the trouble condition.

Interface Panel Showing Trouble Condition What Acknowledge The first step in managing a trouble condition is to acknowledge the trouble. Acknowledging a Does trouble does two important things: • It records the time and date at which you observed the presence of the trouble and stores that information in the system's historical log. • When you press the acknowledge key, the system displays specific data on the location of the trouble. It is important to understand that the 4100 can be configured with either Global or Individual Acknowledge. These options function as follows: Global Versus • Global Acknowledge. When global acknowledge is enabled, one press of the <TBL Individual ACK> key acknowledges every point currently reporting a trouble. Acknowledge • Individual Acknowledge. If individual acknowledge is enabled, the <TBL ACK> key must be pressed to individually acknowledge each trouble. Individual acknowledge must be selected if the panel is providing proprietary receiving service in accordance with NFPA72. The <TBL ACK> key, which is used to acknowledge troubles (either globally or individually), is located just beneath the SYSTEM TROUBLE LED. Refer to Figure 3 -1. If the <TBL ACK> key is passcode protected (by default, it is not), you cannot use this key to acknowledge troubles unless you have the required passcode. Continued on next page 3 -2 Overview, Continued Trouble Indications TrueAlarmT ^4 devices are considered sensors instead of detectors because these devices do not for TrueAlarm determine alarm conditions. Instead, the TrueAlarm smoke sensor is a measuring device that Sensors sends data regarding smoke density to the 4100 FACP. The TrueAlarm heat sensor operates in a similar fashion, but it sends temperature data to the control panel instead of smoke density data. The 4100 uses this data to determine whether a trouble has occurred. The TrueAlarm sensor has three automatic trouble indications. • Dirty. A "Smoke Detector Dirty" condition is reported any time the average value on an individual sensor reaches a set threshold value. • Excessively Dirty. A "Smoke Detector Excessively Dirty" trouble condition is reported any time the average value of an individual sensor reaches a slightly higher threshold level. • Expired Trouble. An "Expired Trouble" condition is reported anytime a sensor has reached the end of its useful lifetime. In addition to the three automatic trouble conditions, the 4100 software includes three pre- programmed digital pseudo points: P 132, P463 and P464. The pseudo point P132 (Sensor Almost Dirty Log Enable) can be turned ON through the 4100 PC Programmer application to allow a TrueAlarm sensor that is close to being dirty to report as if it were one. This is useful when maintenance is being scheduled for dirty sensors, as it provides a means of seeing which sensors are approaching a dirty state. The pseudo points P463 and P464 are used to log all the sensors that r will expire in 6 and 12 months respectively. Once a minute the 4100 performs a test of each TrueAlarm sensor. The test raises the value of each sensor to a value that simulates an alarm condition. If the sensor reports back a value that is not within the alarm range, a "Self -Test Abnormal" trouble is displayed for the sensor. What to Do when System Operators should do the following when these troubles occur. TrueAlarm Troubles Occur • Almost Dirty Trouble. In this case, a Simplex Technical Representative has programmed the system to allow almost dirty sensors to report as dirty. Contact your facilities management personnel to report the trouble and schedule maintenance (cleaning) for the sensors. • Dirty. This trouble means the sensor is holding its sensitivity, that maintenance should be scheduled for the sensor. Contact your facilities management personnel to report the trouble and schedule maintenance (cleaning) for the sensors. • Excessively Dirty. This trouble means the sensor is no longer compensating for dirt and dust. False alarms are possible in this condition and sensors should be cleaned as soon as possible. Contact your facilities management personnel to report the trouble and immediately schedule maintenance (cleaning) for the sensors. • Self - Test Abnormal. All TrueAlarm sensors are automatically tested once a minute. If a sensor fails to report properly to the 4100 FACP, a Self -Test Abnormal trouble occurs. This indicates that the sensor is not working properly and needs to be replaced. Contact your facilities' management personnel to report the trouble. 3 -3 Acknowledging Troubles Globally If global acknowledge is enabled on the 4100, the system automatically clears after the source of Acknowledging the trouble clears. Approximately 30 seconds after the source of the trouble clears, the Troubles alphanumeric display should indicate a normal system. To globally acknowledge trouble points, follow these steps. 1.

Interface Panel Showing Supervisory Condition What Acknowledge The first step in managing a supervisory condition is to acknowledge the condition. Does Acknowledging a supervisory does two important things: • It records the time and date at which you observed the presence of the condition and stores that information in the system's historical log. • When you press the acknowledge key, the system displays specific data on the location of the supervisory condition. It is important to understand that the 4100 can be configured with either Global or Individual Acknowledge. These options function as follows: • Global Acknowledge. When global acknowledge is enabled, one press of the SUPV ACK key acknowledges every point currently reporting a supervisory condition. • Individual Acknowledge. If individual acknowledge is enabled, the SUPV ACK key must be pressed to individually acknowledge each supervisory condition. Individual acknowledge must be selected if the panel is providing proprietary receiving service in accordance with NFPA72. The SUPV ACK key, which is used to acknowledge supervisory conditions (either globally or individually), is located just beneath the "SUPERVISORY" LED. Refer to Figure 4 -1. If the SUPV ACK key is passcode protected (by default, it is not), you cannot use this key to acknowledge supervisory conditions unless you have the required passcode. 4 -2 Acknowledging Supervisory Conditions Globally Pressing the SUPV ACK key once globally acknowledges all supervisory conditions that exist Acknowledging within the fire alarm system. In addition, the "SUPERVISORY" LED changes from flashing to Supervisory steady ON and the tone -alert silences.

Points can be selected in one of three ways. • Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory List. Points that are reporting an alarm, trouble, or supervisory condition can be selected from the active alarm, trouble, or supervisory list. . • Using the Menu. The menu system includes an option that allows you to scroll through each category (monitor, signal, etc.) of point, and then after selecting a category, you can scroll through the points for the category. • Using the Entry Keys. The Entry keys, located on the far right of the operator interface, contain abbreviated labels for each category of point. (For example, the key in the upper left corner of the Entry keys is labeled "ZONE" and the key to its right is labeled "SIG." Pressing one of these keys causes the system to prompt you to select a specific point within the selected category. In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic. Topic See Page # Selecting Points from Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory List 5 -2 Selecting Points from the Menu 5 -3 Selecting Points with the Entry Keypad 5 -4 5 -1 Selecting Points from Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory List Procedure When a point experiences an abnormal condition, such as an alarm, trouble, or supervisory, it is added to the appropriate list (alarm list, supervisory list, or trouble list). Points within these lists can be selected as follows: 1. Press the appropriate acknowledge key to enter the list. (For example, press the FIRE ALARM ACK key to enter the list of current fire alarms; press the TROUBLE ACK key to enter the list of current troubles). 2.

In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic. Topic See Page # Logging In and Out of the System 6 -2 Setting System Time and Date 6 -5 Viewing the Time at which an Event Occurred 6 -6 Enabling and Disabling Points 6 -7 Forcing Points On and Off 6 -8 Displaying and Clearing Historical Logs 6 -9 Printing Reports 6 -10 6 -1 Logging In and Out of the System Introduction The 4100 system uses four access levels, referred to by the numbers one through four, to control what system operators can do with the system. The system typically operates at access level one, which allows an operator to accomplish basic tasks (for example, acknowledge alarm, trouble, and supervisory conditions) without logging in to the system. Other functions — for example, the use of the user - defined function keys — are passcode protected to prevent access by unauthorized personnel.

After a brief pause, the display shows a message similar to the one (continued) below. 1 = Login 2 = Logout CURRENT ACCESS REDUCED TO LEVEL 1 4. Press the <CLR> key to exit. The display shows the system status. 6 -4 Setting System Time and Date Procedure Follow these steps to set the time and date used by the 4100 FACP. Ensuring that the current time and date are correct on the system is important. In particular, the accuracy of historical logs and reports depends on the system time Procedure 1. Press the MENU key. Press the NEXT or PREVIOUS key until the display shows the option for setting time and date. ( Press <Next> or <Previous> to Scroll Set Time and Date? 2. Press the ENTER key. The system responds as follows: Press <INFO> to Change Time and Date 12:44:12 am WED 01- JAN -00 3. Press the MORE INFO key. The display shows the time and date and places an underline character under the hour, meaning it is the part of the time and date that can be changed. 12:44:12 am WED 01 JAN - 00 4. Set the time and date as follows: • Time. Use the < and > keys to move the underline character between hours and minutes. Use the NEXT and PREVIOUS keys to increment or decrement the value. For example, to change the minutes, first use the < and > keys to move the highlight under the minutes field. Then use the NEXT and PREVIOUS keys to change the value of the minutes field. • Date. Use the < and > keys to move the underline character between the components of the date field. Use the NEXT and PREVIOUS keys to increment or decrement the value of the field until it is correct. 5. When the date and time are correct, press the ENTER key. 6 -5 Viewing the Time at which an Event Occurred Overview The system records the time at which each alarm, trouble, and supervisory event occurs. You can view this information in one of two ways: • By displaying or printing the historical alarm or trouble log. Refer to "Displaying Historical Logs" later in this chapter for information on doing this. • By scrolling through the list of active alarm, trouble, or supervisory conditions, selecting a specific event, and using the EVENT TIME key. Refer to the procedure below for information on doing this. Procedure 1. Select the alarm, trouble, or supervisory event whose event time you want to display. To do this, follow these steps. a. Press the FIRE ALARM ACK, PRIORITY 2 ACK, TROUBLE ACK, or SUPERVISORY ACK key to enter the appropriate list of events. (For example, press the FIRE ALARM ACK key to enter the list of active fire alarms.) b. Use the NEXT and PREVIOUS keys to scroll through the list until the alarm in which you are interested is displayed. c. Press the EVENT TIME key. The time at which the alarm, priority 2 alarm, trouble, or supervisory occurred appears in the display. S OB S 6 -6 Enabling and Disabling Points Overview Enabling and disabling points is sometimes necessary when performing maintenance on the system. When using this function, it is critical that you understand whether Custom Control (either the system's default Custom Control or any user Custom Control) makes reference to the point or not. Actions driven by custom control are suspended for the duration of time the point is disabled, but execute immediately after the point is enabled. Example. Suppose you disable a signal point and during the time the point is disabled, a Custom r Control equation executes that turns the point ON. This action is suspended for the duration of time the point is disabled. However, when the point is subsequently enabled, the point's state updates and the Custom Control equation turning the point ON executes, turning the signal ON. Procedure Follow these steps to enable or disable a point. 1. Select the point. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting points. 2. Press the DISABLE or ENABLE key. 3. Press the ENTER key to carry out the action. The system generates a "Disable Trouble" to remind you that the point is disabled. When you enable the point again, the trouble clears. 6 -7 Forcing Points On and Off Overview Forcing control points ON and OFF allows a precise degree of manual system control. For example, you can force a relay or signal point ON to test or execute its function. Unlike ENABLE /DISABLE (see description in previous section), a point that you force OFF does not refresh its state when the point is turned back ON. Example. Suppose you turn a signal point OFF and during the time the point is disabled, a Custom Control equation executes that turns the point ON. When the point is subsequently returned to automatic operation, the point's state does not update and the Custom Control equation turning the point ON does not execute. Forcing Points ON Follow these steps to force a point ON or OFF. and OFF 1. Select the point. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting points. 2. Press the ON or OFF key. 3. Press the ENTER key to carry out the action. The system generates a "Manual Override Trouble" for the point to remind you that the point has been forced ON or OFF. Returning a Point to Automatic operation is the normal operation of the point. For example, if the point is a signal Automatic Operation point, a setting of AUTOMATIC indicates that the signal is under the control of the job executing on the panel. To return the state of a point that is currently ON or OFF to AUTOMATIC, follow these steps. 1. Select the point. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting points. 2. Press the AUTOMATIC key. 3. Press the ENTER key to carry out the action. The system clears the "Manual Override Trouble." 6 -8 r Displaying and Clearing Historical Logs Overview Historical logs provide a record of both the events that have occurred on the system and the actions taken by an operator to manage those events. The system contains the following logs. • Historical Alarm Log. Provides detailed information on each alarm, including time and date stamp, that has occurred since the last time the logs were cleared. • Historical Trouble Log. Provides detailed information on each trouble, including time and date stamp, that has occurred since the last time the logs were cleared. Displaying /Clearing 1. Press the MENU key. Use the NEXT and PREVIOUS keys to scroll through the choices until Historical Logs the "DISPLAY HISTORICAL ALARM LOG" or "DISPLAY HISTORICAL TROUBLE LOG" choice is displayed. 2. Press ENTER to enter the log file. 3. Use the NEXT and PREVIOUS keys to scroll through the entries in the selected log. 6 -9 Printing Reports Overview The system can generate any of the following reports. Report Description Report includes all information contained in the alarm Alarm History Log Report history log — device number, custom label, time and date device entered alarm. Report includes all information contained in the trouble Trouble History Log Report history log — device number, custom label, type of trouble, time and date device experienced trouble. Reports the following information for each point. • Device Number • Custom Label TrueAlarm Status Report • Current Sensitivity of the Point • Point Status: Normal, Trouble, Alarm • Almost Dirty Status: Points which are almost dirty have an asterisk in this field to denote this. Reports the following information for each point. • Device Number • Custom Label • Alarm Level (sensitivity level of the device) • Average Value — • Current Value -- • Percent of Alarm: Shows the current value for the sensor. Value is shown as a percentage of 100 TrueAlarm Service Report percent (alarm). For example, if the value shown is 9 %, it means that the sensor is currently at 9% of the value required to trigger an alarm. • Peak Value. Shows the highest value that the sensor has reached. Value is shown as a percentage of 100 percent (alarm). For example, if the value shown is 9 %, it means that the peak value experienced by the sensor was 9% of the value required to trigger an alarm. • Current State: Possible values include Normal, Trouble, Dirty, Excessively Dirty, and Almost Dirty. Report the following information for each TrueAlert device. • Point ID TrueAlert Device Report • Custom Label • Device Type • Candela Continued on next page 6 -10 Printing Reports, Continued Overview, continued This report can be created after the TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test (see Chapter 7) is run. It reports the following information for each Multi Candela TrueAlert Device. • Point ID • Custom Label • Pass /Fail TrueAlert Status Report Report the following information for each SLC • Nominal Current (A) - The current draw on the TrueAlert circuit when the test was run. • Worst Case Current (A) - The current draw on the SLC under worst case operating conditions. • Worst Case voltage Above /Below threshold (V) Procedure 1.

The system prompts you to confirm that you want to generate the report. Press ENTER again. The report prints on the panel's report printer. 6 -11 Chapter 7 System Test Procedures Introduction This section describes performing the system tests that can be performed from the front panel of the 4100. In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic. Topic See Page # Lamp Test / Tone Alert Test 7 -2 Walk TestTM Overview 7 -3 Setting WalkTest Options 7 -5 TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test 7 -6 7 -1 Lamp Test / Tone Alert Test Overview The LAMP TEST key on the operator interface panel is used to determine local lamp failures within the system. Lamps on the 4100 operator interface panel illuminate along with the five function and acknowledge LEDs. The tone -alert (buzzer) can also be tested with the LAMP TEST. Performing a Lamp Do the following procedures to test for lamp failures. Test 1. Press the "LAMP TEST" push - button. All LEDs should illuminate (lamps should stay illuminated as long as the key is depressed). 2. If you find defective lamps /LEDs, contact your local Simplex branch office. Testing the Tone- Holding the Lamp Test key for more than 3 seconds tests the tone -alert. Alert 7 -2 Walk TestTM Overview Overview WalkTest allows the function of the system's initiating devices and signals to be tested by a single person. Conducting a WalkTest requires you to perform the following steps. • Step 1. Create WalkTest Groups. The 4100 supports up to eight Walk TestTM groups. This allows the building to be divided into small portions for the Walk TestTM, and allows the rest of the building to be protected by the fire alarm panel. Each group has a list of monitor points (initiating devices) and a list of the signal circuits that activate when one of the group's control points activates. Refer to Chapter 9 of the 4100 Fire Alarm PC Programmer Programming Manual (574 -849) for information on adding monitor points (initiating devices) and signals /relays to a WalkTest group. • Step 2. Enable WalkTest Options from Front Panel. These options include the following. Refer to the "Setting WalkTest Options" later in this section for information on setting these options. - Which WalkTest Group is enabled. - Whether the group's signals turn on when a monitor point in the same group activates. Turn this option on (along with the WalkTest logging option) to perform a silent WalkTest on the system. - Whether logging of WalkTest information is enabled or not. (Enable this option to perform a silent WalkTest.) Step 3. Manually Activate Initiating Devices in Each Group and Interpret Signals. Individually activate each initiating device in the group, using a magnet or canned smoke. Make sure to proceed in a logical manner (i.e., start with the lowest IDNet or MAPNET address and work toward the highest). Each time you activate an initiating device, the system's signals pulse a code that allows you to verify exactly which initiating device triggered the signals. For hardwired monitor zones, the signal code corresponds to the number of the zone. (For example, if the zone number is eight, the signals pulse eight times to indicate zone eight.) For IDNet and MAPNET devices, the first set of pulses from the signals correspond to the channel. The signals then pauses momentarily and the second set of pulses correspond to the number of the device on the channel. For example, if you activate an IDNet smoke detector with an address of M1 -25, the signals would sound once to indicate channel one, pause for a short duration, and then sound 2 times pause, and then sound 5 times to indicate device 25. In some cases, immediately after verifying the function of an initiating device, you may also want to verify its ability to generate a trouble condition. To do this, cause a trouble on the device (i.e., remove the sensor from a TrueAlarm device), and then listen to the signals. The signals sound steady for 4 seconds to indicate trouble conditions, then reset. • Important Notes Signals and initiating devices (with the exception of pull stations) automatically acknowledge and automatically reset, allowing for one -man testing without the need for someone at the main control panel to acknowledge and reset the system each time an initiating device and its associated signals activate. A silent Walk TestTM may be performed (no signals will sound) and logging of events may be selected. Refer to "Setting WalkTest Options" below for additional information. Continued on next page 7 -3 Walk TestTM Overview, Continued Important Notes, If an alarm condition is detected from a zone that is not in the present active Walk TestTM group, (continued) the system will operate as a fire alarm panel and the active Walk TestTM groups are aborted. 7 -4 Setting WalkTest Options Enabling WalkTest 1. Press the MENU key and then use the NEXT and PREV keys until "ENABLE for a Group WALKTEST ?" is displayed. Press ENTER. 2. Use the NEXT and PREVIOUS keys to scroll through the WalkTest groups until the group that you want to test is displayed. Press ENTER. A screen similar to the following appears. 1 = on - >OFF 2 = no - >LOG 3 = ? - >ZONE 4 = no - >SIG Setting Options Each of the options shown in the example above is associated with a number from one to four. Pressing the associated number on the keypad toggles the setting of the option. The arrow points to choice currently enabled for the option. Example. The first option shown above ( 1 = on - - OFF ) allows you to turn WalkTest on and off for the group you selected in Step 2 above. In the example, the arrow points to OFF, indicating that WalkTest is not currently on for the selected group. To turn it on, you would press the number 1 on the keypad. When you do this, the arrow turns around to indicate that ON is selected and the option reads 1 = ON <- - off. The options are as follows Option Description 1 = on > OFF Turns WalkTest on and off for the selected group. Press 1 on the keypad to toggle the setting of the option. Allows you to enable or disable logging. If the arrow points to 2 = no > LOG LOG, logging is enabled. If the arrow points to NO, logging is disabled. Press 2 on the keypad to toggle the setting of this option. When ZONE is selected, the signals play a code that indicates the activated initiating device's address. (For hardwired zones, the signals sound the number of the zone. For IDNet and 3 = ? > ZONE MAPNET, the code has two parts, separated by a pause. The first part indicates the channel and the second part indicates the device number. When ? is selected, the signals play 2 `/ second pulses. Press 3 on the keypad to toggle the setting of this option. Allows you to configure a silent WalkTest (i.e., no signals are used). Make sure to enable the logging of Walk TestTM events, 4 = no > SIG which allows each zone with an abnormal condition to be time tagged and added to the log. See previous option above. When SIG is selected, signals sound during the WalkTest. When NO is selected, no signals are used during the WalkTest. ( 7 - TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test Overview The TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test is used in conjunction with the TrueNAC Circuit Design tool. A job is first designed using the TrueNAC Circuit Design tool. The tool provides a report with job layout and device voltages. After the job is installed, the TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test is run to verify proper installation of the 4906 devices. The TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test determines the line voltage for notification appliances that are connected to a TrueAlert Power Supply's (TPS) Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) channels, under worst case panel operating conditions. It differs from simply checking with a meter, in that the voltage output of the panel under nominal operating conditions is typically higher than the voltage output under worst case conditions (e.g. on end -of -life batteries). Prior to the start of the test, the horn volume is selected to be either "ON" (horns set to high volume) or "OFF" (silent testing of the system). The TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test is compatible only with the 4906 series TrueAlert devices connected to a TrueAlert Power Supply (TPS). The test can be run on a single TrueAlert SLC, or on all the TPS's in the system. • If older "fixed" candela devices are present, the tool will indicate incompatible devices and will not run. This will also be indicated in the report. • TPS PCA's Revision E and older may be updated with the latest slave code to run the TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test. The results will be less accurate than with Revision F or later TPS's. The reports will also indicate the use of an older TPS and caution that results are less accurate. • If older TPS slave code (1.04 and earlier) is installed on a newer TPS PCA (Revision F or later), a "HW CONFIG /SW REV MISMATCH TROUBLE" trouble will be indicated on the 4100U panel. The TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test performs the following diagnostic verification: • Devices are polled and report terminal voltage, candela rating, and device type to the 4100U. • The line impedance of the SLC channel is determined through the TrueNAC algorithm. • Notification Appliances that fall below the device threshold are reported as failed devices to the 4100U, and the panel indicates TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test failed trouble. Devices that have failed the TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test require the following actions: • Fix the device with the lowest voltage as indicated in the TrueNAC status report. • Repeat the TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test. The 4100U keeps track of the devices that failed the TrueNAC Voltage Drop test. A trouble alarm is indicated on the panel for devices that failed the test. This trouble is cleared after hardware reset. The TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test must be repeated to verify that all troubles are fixed. Accessing the To gain access to the TrueNAC Voltage Drop diagnostic test, you must login with an access level TrueNAC Voltage higher than level one (Refer to Chapter 6 for access level discussion).
