Introduction
4100ES fire panels provide extensive installation, operator, and service
features with point and module capacities suitable for a wide range of
system applications. An on-board Ethernet port provides fast external
system communications to expedite installation and service activity.
Dedicated compact flash memory archiving provides secure on-site
system information storage of electronic job configuration files to meet
NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code) requirements.

Modular design
A wide variety of functional modules are available to meet specific
system requirements. Selections allow panels to be configured for either

Convenient Status Information
With the locking door closed, the glass window allows viewing of the display, status LEDs, and available operator switches. Features include a two-line
by 40-character, wide viewing angle (super-twist) LCD with status LEDs and switches as shown in Figure 8.
LED indicators describe the general category of activity being displayed with the LCD providing more detail. For the authorized user, unlocking the door
provides access to the control switches and allows further inquiry by scrolling the display for additional detail.

Operator Interface Features

• Convenient and extensive operator information is provided using a logical, menu-driven display
• Multiple automatic and manual diagnostics for maintenance reduction
• Alarm and Trouble History Logs (up to 1000 entries for each, 2000 total events) are available for viewing from the LCD, or capable of being printed to
