Simplex 4100ES Installation & Maintenance

2-2
4100ES FIP cabinets contain the CPU, Operator Interface, system power supply (SPS),
backup batteries, and any additional modules that the panel requires. The FIP is the
central hub (often referred to as a host panel) of a standalone or MINIPLEX fire alarm
system. In a networked system, the FIP can be connected to other FIPs, so that each host
panel is a node on the network.
In the Australian 4100ES, the SPS is fitted to a bracket behind the hinged 8U door that
has the InfoAlarm operator I/F on it. The CPU Motherboard is fitted to the right hand
side of an expansion bay mounted directly below the power supply bay. This bay has a
PDI fitted so can house 4”x 5”cards as well as legacy cards.
