* Note: 4100ES English Appliqués are included with 4100ES Upgrade and Retrofit Kits for mounting 4100ES in 4100, 2120, 2001,
and Autocall back boxes so that upgrades can be easily identified as 4100ES. 4100ES Appliqué Kits are available for
applications such as to update Remote InfoAlarm Displays connected to a panel that was upgraded to 4100ES or for an
existing 4100U when the New Master Controller is upgraded to 4100ES and only a software upgrade is required. When
required, French appliqués are ordered separately.

Current Calculation Notes:
1. To determine total supervisory current, add currents of modules in panel to base system value and all external loads powered
by panel power supplies.
2. To determine total alarm current, add currents of modules in panel to base system alarm current and add all panel NAC loads
and all external loads powered from panel power supplies.
