Inside the Simplex 4100ES

Here is a quick overview of the inside of the Simplex 4100ES. Quite a few people have been asking to see what the inside looks like. Keep in mind that not every ES looks exactly the same inside since you are able to add different cards and power supplies. Enjoy!

Wow, what a panel. Thank you for sharing this with the community.

Awesome! Definitely a panel that someday I want to get, but it's a monster of a panel (not to mention it also costs a pretty penny). Very thorough and informational video though, and great work!

Like the edification on this system. Q: jumping class A with class B , can you wire up using only class B ?

[@elevatorelectricalenthusiasm]

How do you determine what voltage the panel takes so when you wire up a speaker, you don't end up damaging it.

Dang that's a lot of fancy stuff inside

Their is not a lot of support and information on the 4100es. I really wish that the programming software is not proprietary.

[@andrs8953]

How warm and cold rest? And when is it correct to use them. I often come across to low battery trouble and even when i replace them the panel will not clear pressing the rest bottom, so we usually reboot the panel. Is there another step to avoid the reboot and clean the trouble?

[@rauljr.montesclaros2230]

New subscriber here, we have a 4100 simplex panel here in our mall, would like to ask if what suppose to be the problem if im reading less 24v (10.2v) on the auxilliary 24v terminals?

[@calebmorand4604]

Cool panel. I have a few questions for you. 1. Since it is an es panel, does that mean you have idnac nacs that use addressable truealert es notification appliances? 2. Is software required to program the panel? 3. Or can you do programming at the panels keypad? Thanks!

[@davidredpath4781]

Hey Caleb, 1. Yes since it is an ES panel, you do have that option to use IDNAC devices. In order to do that, you need an EPS. I only have an SPS at the moment. 2. Yes, software is required to program the panel, but it is proprietary and I don’t have it. It does not allow you to program through the front keypad. I have a friend who works for Simplex so he is the one that programmed it for me.

Which NACs are the ones where addressable notification appliances like.l a 49AV-WRF or 4906-9228 get wired to???

Is it possible to swap out sps without having to program anything just power it down swapping out the old card putting in a new card then firing it back up ?

Yes, as long as the DIP switches are set correctly, you are able to replace part to part

Awesome! I came across something weird in a building a few days ago, this building had a 4010es and a 4003ec. Do you have any idea as to how those operate? I am assuming they are similar to the original 4010 and 4003.

[@davidredpath4781]

I have an idea how they operate but I don’t know 100%

[@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign]

Well the 4003EC is Identical to the Wheelock safepaths so if you know how to operate a Safepath , you can operate A Simplex 4003EC. (Vice versa)

@@SomeDudeWithAnExitSign ok, I believe the 4003ec uses Simplex tones and massages not wheelock right?

Help me to know about the trouble terms like "no answer, bad answer ,disable mode,off,open circuit mode

[@davidredpath4781]

No answer is when a device goes missing on the SLC loop. A bad answer would be when a device communicates with the FACP, but it is insufficient. A disable trouble is when you disable a point or a circuit on the system. An open circuit trouble is when there has been a break in the field wiring and the panel cannot see the EOL resistor.
