Simplex 4100ES Fire Alarm Control Panel
Efficient Installation. Extraordinary Technology. Enhanced for Contractors.
Smart,
Cost-effective
Technology
for Contractors
The Simplex 4100ES (eServices) Fire
Alarm Control Panel is a premier fire
detection and alarm system. Built upon
the legendary, field-proven performance
of the Simplex 4100U Series, the 4100ES
platform leverages new technology,
design improvements, T-Tap wiring and
IP-based diagnostics to offer low-cost
installation that electrical contractors can
appreciate.
The 4100ES family is designed to offer
high-quality fire protection to end-user
customers while providing you a fast,
smooth and efficient installation, no
matter the facility or application. In
developing this platform, we obtained
extensive input from electrical
contractors, end users, consultants and
fire service officials. This resulted in a
host of innovative system and design
improvements that make it easier and
more economical than ever to install
Simplex fire systems—and potentially
boost your profitability and business
success.
•For projects requiring a phased
installation, the 4100ES can be
put into a special “Install Mode”
that enables the panel to provide
a single system trouble for points
that are programmed but not yet
wired, or wired but not ready for
commissioning. This can help reduce
troubles during installation and
alleviate system operator confusion.
•The Simplex TrueSTART handheld
test instrument can simplify the
commissioning process by enabling
contractors to troubleshoot for opens,
grounds, duplicate-device addresses
and circuit cross-talk—all before the
4100ES panel is installed.
•The 4100ES enables TrueInsight
Remote Service, which gives enduser customers peace of mind and
enhanced service efficiency from our
remote diagnostics technology.
•With the 4100ES, you can upgrade
existing 4100 systems to the ES,
many times without the costly
removal or replacement of existing
field devices, wiring, conduit or panelback boxes.

interconnection and cleaner wiring
installation. Power supplies and amplifiers
include built-in NACs (notification appliance
circuits) to further simplify power
distribution. And all modules support earthground-fault isolation to make locating
earth grounds a snap.
Easy-to-install IDNet devices
The new IDNet addressable devices on
the 4100ES, many with line-powered
operation, can dramatically cut your
device installation costs. Plus, you can
realize additional savings because fewer
devices need to be installed. Most mount
in common single-gang or 4-inch square
electrical boxes. All IDNet devices include
an LED to assist in troubleshooting and
status verification.
Faster acceptance testing
The 4100ES is IP-enabled and supports
instant online communications with
Tyco Integrated Fire & Security service
technicians. This web-based capability
provides opportunities to download
programs, upload factory software
upgrades, and collaborate with our
specialists regarding remote diagnostics—
all over your customer’s corporate LAN.
With the remote gateway application, a
Tyco Integrated Fire & Security technician
can set up a live cell phone chat with the
4100ES. As a result, troubleshooting and
remote testing of programming changes
can be performed instantaneously. Plus,
time-consuming trips back to the main
panel can be reduced.
Tyco Integrated Fire & Security can support
the 4100ES with our experienced and
knowledgeable service organization. We
can help acceptance-test the installed
4100ES system before construction is
complete, verifying the job and allowing
you to close it out faster.
What you need to succeed
• The Simplex TrueSTART instrument
is a handheld device that can
expedite the commissioning process
by troubleshooting grounds and
open and shorted circuits, and by
addressing duplicate and incorrect
devices even before the 4100ES
panel is delivered to the site.
• The 4100ES panel can be put into
Install Mode during a phased
installation. The 4100ES can
annunciate a common system
trouble for points that are not
installed or that are installed but
not commissioned, helping to reduce
nuisance troubles.
• Termination of contractor wiring is
easily accessible and in some cases
pluggable.
• Card frame allows easy addition of
expansion modules.
• IP Panel Access for faster program
downloads, service and
commissioning—all from a central
on-site location.
• Service Reports for proof-of-system
progress and readiness.
The 4100ES includes a supervised
Mass Storage Device that
archives system programming so all
revisions of a system’s
program can be retrieved on-site. The
card can also be used to
store and easily retrieve system
test results/documentation, as-built
drawings and
other critical system information.
• Miniplex distributed systems can
help reduce installation cost.
• Flexible, cost-efficient digital or
analog voice-evacuation solutions.
The Simplex 4100ES Advantage
Simplex 4100ES systems support both
TrueAlarm analog sensing and TrueAlert
addressable notification, giving you all of
the cost-saving benefits of T-Tapping and
global addressability in both fire detection
and notification.
• TrueAlarm sensing gives end-user
customers high performance in
fire detection combined with lower
installation and wiring costs.
• Our addressable technology provides
software control of initiating and
notification devices, without the
need for costly additional wiring. The
4100ES has a supervised on-board
Mass Storage Device to store several
revisions of system programming
plus system drawings and test
results.
