Converter Overview
The 8-Volt DC-to-DC Converter is an option card that mounts within a 4100ES, 4100U, 4100, or
4120 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP). This card takes 24 VDC power from a system switching
power supply and converts it to 8 VDC. The Converter is used when additional 8V power is
required, for example when more than four Style 4 Physical Bridges are used.
Power Requirements The 8-Volt DC-to-DC Converter has the following power requirements.
Voltage:
• 24 C (PCB) Black, Connector position 1
• +24 V (PCB) Red, Connector position 2
Current:
1.5 A max. at 24V

Mounting the 8 VDC Converter
Overview The converter board and terminal block attachment are mounted onto a mounting plate.
In the 4100/4120, the mounting plate gets attached to the side of an expansion bay with four
screws so that the terminal block faces the front. In the 4100U/4100ES, the module must be
attached to the backplane of an expansion bay.
Mounting into the The following instructions apply to non-4100U/4100ES installations only. If you are installing the
4100/4120 Back Box converter into the 4100U/4100ES, skip to the next section.
1. Remove AC power at the power source.
2. Locate the expansion bay that contains the Physical Bridge and remove the screw holding the
retainer restraint to the card retainer and set it aside.
3. Remove the two card retainer hinge pins and remove the card retainer. Set the card retainer
and pins aside.
4. Remove two screws holding the left expansion bay bracket (Figure 1) and remove the bracket.
Set the two screws aside.

Mounting into the 5. Using three 426-047 Screws and 268-009 Lockwashers (supplied), secure the 8-Volt
4100/4120 Back Box DC-to-DC Converter to the 635-951 Expansion Bay End Bracket. (See Figure 2.)
Note: The holes on the converter bracket may not align with the holes on some older
versions of the Expansion Bay End Bracket. In this case, you must drill and tap
holes for 6-32 mounting screws in the Expansion Bay End Bracket before
mounting the converter.
