Introduction to the 4100ES Fire Alarm System
Introduction The 4100ES is an expandable fire alarm system that can be used as a standalone system with
one host panel, or as a wide-ranging system with several remote back boxes, with or without
multiple host panels. This chapter is an overview of standalone, MINIPLEX®, and network
4100ES system concepts.
Two types of 4100ES Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACP) configurations are described in this
manual:
•The “SPS configuration”, which refers to FACPS that use a System Power Supply (SPS)
card as the FACP’s Central Processing Unit’s (CPU) powers supply.
•The “EPS configuration”, which refers to FACPS that have an Extended Power Supply
(EPS) module fitted with an IDNET 2 card as the CPU FACP power supply
References to “non-4100ES/4100U”, “Legacy 4100”, “4120”, or “4020” throughout the
manual are for retrofit applications only.
