Function Description

The MAPNET II Transceiver card facilitates communication within a Simplex 4100 series fire alarm control panel (FACP) system. It consists of two main parts: a motherboard and a daughter card. The motherboard mounts into either a CPU bay or an expansion bay of the 4100 or 4100U back boxes, while the daughter card plugs into the motherboard. Its primary function is to connect addressable MAPNET devices to the 4100 FACP, supporting up to 127 such devices. It also provides isolated 36 VDC power for the MAPNET channel and supports both Class A and Class B wiring configurations.

Power: 40 VDC @ 0.5A
Baud Rate: 3333 Baud

Environmental Requirements:

Temperature: 32° F to 120° F
Humidity: 85% Relative Humidity @ 86° F

Wiring Guidelines:

Wire Length: May not exceed 3,270 feet (1 km).
Wire Gauge: All wires must be 18 AWG, or as dictated by local code.
Conductors: Copper conductors only.
Shielded Wire: Metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained throughout the entire cable length, and the cable's resistance to earth ground must be greater than 1 Megohm.
Overvoltage Protectors: 2081-9044 Overvoltage Protectors are required for any wiring leaving/re-entering the building (max. four per MAPNET channel).
Transient Suppressor: 2081-9027 Transient Suppressor should be used on monitor points in areas of high lightning activity or large power surges.

Usage Features

Addressability and Configuration:

The daughter card features an eight-position DIP switch (SW1-1 through SW1-8) for configuration.
SW1-1 sets the baud rate for serial communication between the daughter card and the 4100 CPU and must be set to ON.
SW1-2 through SW1-8 set the card's address within the 4100 FACP, which must correspond to the value assigned by the 4100 Programmer.

Device Support:

Connects up to 127 addressable MAPNET devices.
Supports up to 43 Sounder Bases for coded operation on a MAPNET channel.
Allows up to 2 isolator boards per MAPNET channel.

Wiring Flexibility:

Supports both Class A and Class B wiring configurations.
Jumpers JW1 and JW2 on the motherboard configure Earth fault detection based on the type of devices used:
- Two-wire devices (IAMs and detectors): Jumper in JW2, no jumper in JW1. Earth fault detection is active.
- Four-wire devices (ZAMs, sounder bases, relay bases): Jumper in JW1, no jumper in JW2. Earth fault detection is disabled and tied to the main system's Earth detect circuit.

Installation Flexibility:

Motherboards can be installed in various slots within 4100 or 4100U back boxes, with specific guidelines for CPU bays and expansion bays, especially concerning power supplies, relay cards, and other modules like SDACT or CCDACT.
The system allows for up to two motherboards with the CPU in the CPU bay of a 4100U system.
In 4100U expansion bays, up to seven 2" x 11 ½" motherboards can be installed if no 4" x 5" modules are present. Motherboards are added from left to right, while 4" x 5" cards are added from right to left.

Power-Limited Wiring:

Strict guidelines for routing power-limited and non-power-limited wiring within the back box enclosure to prevent interference and ensure safety.
Excess slack should be minimized, and wiring should be neatly dressed and bundled using wire ties.
Remote units or switching power through relay contacts must be powered by a UPS-style power supply (e.g., 4100-1108 Power Supply (8A)) or a UL-listed power-limited power supply for fire-protective signaling use.
Auxiliary power circuits using power-limited wiring require all devices to be addressable or use a UL Listed EOL relay for supervision.

Maintenance Features

Installation and Troubleshooting:

The manual provides detailed instructions for installing the motherboard and daughter card, including orienting the boards, inserting connectors, and securing them with screws.
Clear diagrams illustrate the placement of jumpers, DIP switches, and wiring connections, aiding in correct installation and troubleshooting.
Guidelines for routing power and communication wiring, including the use of specific harnesses (733-525, 733-659, 733-672, 733-996), are provided.

Safety and Reliability:

Cautions and Warnings: Emphasizes the importance of following instructions, inspecting for damage, disconnecting electrical power before servicing, grounding oneself to prevent static discharge, and exercising eye safety with fiber optic components.
Radio Frequency Energy: Notes that the equipment generates RF energy and complies with FCC Class A limits for commercial environments, with a warning about potential interference in residential areas.
System Reacceptance Test: Mandates reacceptance testing according to NFPA72-1996, Chapter 7, after any programming changes, additions, deletions, modifications, repairs, or adjustments to hardware or wiring. This includes 100% testing of affected components and at least 10% (up to 50 devices) of non-directly affected initiating devices.
Wiring Integrity: Stresses that all wiring is supervised and conductors must test free of all grounds. AC wiring and IO terminal wiring must not be run together in the same conduit.
System Ground: Requires a system ground for earth detection and lightning protection devices, complying with NFPA780.
