Simplex 4100-6069 - User Manual

Features
Panel mounted modules provides fire alarm
system status using the ASHRAE BACnet
building automation communication protocol
BACnet (Building Automation Control Network)
protocol reference:
 Communications are via BACnet IP (internet protocol)
 Reference: ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 135
Connections:
 To fire alarm system via RS-232 port B, configured
for Computer Port Protocol (see page 3 for model
number reference per panel)
 Output port provides Ethernet LAN (local area
network) connection
BACpac Ethernet Module is pre-programmed:
 Module is pre-programmed with digital pseudo points
linked to BACnet objects
 Up to 1000 status changes (monitor point status) can
be recognized from the fire alarm control panel

Description
The BACpac Ethernet module provides a supplementary
communications interface that converts computer terminal
information from a compatible Simplex fire alarm control
panel into the building automation protocol of BACnet.
With this module, status information from the fire alarm
control panel can be provided to other components of the
building automation network with the detail and
information format required.
Providing this information allows other systems to
properly respond to fire alarm system activity in addition
to the primary fire alarm response that is under the control
of the fire alarm control panel.
