Practice Exercise #1: 4100ES

IDNAC Programming
The Goals of this Exercise
The goals of this exercise are to:
• Build on your knowledge of programming Addressable Notification. During the
AC200 class, you learned to program the Addressable Notification to all code
(operate) the same during an alarm condition. You will now expand your
knowledge by programming addressable appliances to code differently
depending on the location of the alarm.
• Become proficient with creating and populating folders on the compact flash
memory (CFM) card.
• Become familiar with key components of the EPS power supply and competent
at troubleshooting common faults.
Resources: Programming Notification Appliances job aid.
Objectives
Using your 4100ES Fire Alarm System and class notes, perform the following tasks:
1. Add Addressable Notification Appliances to a 4100ES job file.
2. Create and populate folders on the Compact Flash Memory card.
3. Perform Warm and Cold Starts from the 4100ES Master Controller card.
4. Create, document, and correct defects on the EPS.
1. Add Addressable Notification Appliances to a 4100ES job file
A. Restore then open the instructor supplied Job File 202START and select Save
As>Copy 202P1. This job file contains four initiating devices, two Smoke/Heat
Addressable Photo sensors, one photo sensor, and one Addressable Pull Station.
• M1-1-0 is the left most Smoke/Heat sensor
• M1-2-0 is the middle Smoke/Heat Sensor
• M1-3-0 is the right most Photo Sensor
The custom label designates the sensor’s position on the training panel. The fourth
device is a single action Addressable Pull Station.
B. The NAC Appliances for this lab exercise will be:

• 1-1-1 is an Addressable AV Appliance located in the common area.
• 1-1-2 is an Addressable Multi-Tone AV Appliance located in the sleeping area.

C. Record your Panel Tab, System Options, Addressable Appliance Preferred Defaults,
Candela, General Evac. Tone Selection ___________________.
D. From the Hardware tab, double click on the EPS power supply, then click on the
Point Editing tab. Program the addressable appliances 1-1-1 and 1-1-2 adding the
Device Type and Point Type _______________________________ from the Select
Device drop down box and add an appropriate custom label.
E. Customer requirements: When the panel alarms, the requirement calls for all
sleeping areas to play a 520Hz continuous Horn tone and common areas are to play
a Temporal tone. Strobes are to be 15cd.
F. Use the Programming Notification Appliances job aid to program the addressable
NACs.
G. Record the Panel Tab, System Options, Non Steady Audible Evac: Code Selection
_____________________.
H. Record your Hardware Tab, EPS, Point Editing selections for 1-1-1:
• Operation: ___________________________
• Candela: ___________________________
• Horn Type: ___________________________
• Tone: ___________________________
• Coding Type: ___________________________
I. Record your Hardware Tab, EPS, Point Editing selections for 1-1-2:
• Operation: ___________________________
• Candela: ___________________________
• Horn Type: ___________________________
• Tone: ___________________________
• Coding Type: ___________________________
J. Save, Build, and Download the Job File.

K. Land wire A13 on IDNAC1 of the EPS.
L. Activate one of the initiating devices and record the NAC coding operation:
• 1-1-1 ___________________________
• 1-1-2 ___________________________

What about the non-addressable NAC?

• Activate one of the initiating devices and record the non-addressable
NAC operation _____________________.
• How is the NAC tone changed to Hi/Lo?
_______________________________.
• How is coding changed from ON Steady to Temporal?
_______________________________.
2. Create folders on the 4100ES Master Controller Card’s Compact

Flash Memory
Before calling the installation complete, it is a good idea to consider a bit of

housekeeping.
A. Create the three following folders on the 4100ES Master Controller Card’s Compact
Flash Memory:
• Inspection
• Installation
• Pictures
B. Copy the Inspection and Test Report (InspectionReport.doc), Installation Report

(FloorPlan.pdf), and Picture (20Story_Building.jpg) from your student flash drive to
the appropriate folders on the Compact Flash Memory. You will find the files in the
“Compact Flash Files” folder on the flash drive.
Note: By creating these folders, you have provided a convenient way to store
documents related to this 4100ES Panel. These folders will prove to be a
valuable resource for years to come.
3. Perform Warm and Cold Starts from the 4100ES Master

Controller Card
A. Perform a Warm Start (“Soft” Reset) on the panel from the Master Controller Card.
B. How many records are in the Trouble Log? ____________________
C. When the panel returns to a Normal State, perform a Warm Start (“Hard” Reset) on
the panel from the Master Controller Card.
D. How many records are in the Trouble Log? ____________________
E. When the panel returns to a Normal State, perform a Cold Start from the
Master Controller Card.
F. How many records are in the Trouble Log? ____________________

What are the advantages of performing Warm and Cold Starts from the Master
Controller Card?
• When servicing panels in the field, the retainer is most likely removed.
• It takes less time to press a button(s) than it does to login and scroll through
Front Panel Menu commands.
4. Create, document, and correct defects on the Extended Power

Supply (EPS)
A. Remove Smoke/Heat Sensor Head M1-2-0 and acknowledge the Trouble.

Record the Trouble:
