Inside the Simplex 4100ES

[@HJCF0520]

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

[@Dredpath1]

My pleasure!

[@mrbob581]

Our condo just did a upgrade from 4100 to 4100es, as the display was going out… Thanks for the walk thru! That 4100es sticker for the front sure is pricy! Lol

Wow! I'm about to put one of these together for a job but an Autocall one! Thanks for sharing, only thing I'll say is I wouldn't have the battery cables strapped to the power lines

[@micahw.5029]

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!

What to do for cutdown hooters supply in simplex 4100es??

[@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?

I have a question. If I want to make a mini voice evacuation system, I need an circuit board with auxiliary and an amplifier of simplex 4100ES? Am I correct?

No, you need the full panel.

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 ?

[@Dredpath1]

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

[@billydennis6807]

@@Dredpath1 awesome thanks so much ...we keep having a trouble of the sps it comes and goes .I just want to swap it out with a anew one without the headache of having them come out for any type of programing.

[@thirtyfourelevators]

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

[@1sun3]

Hi David, thanks for the excellent video. just curious is there by any chance that you would know why this Simplex 4100 ES control panel is constantly rebooting?

[@Dredpath1]

You need to contact JCI to get that fixed

[@Dime_Bar]

Yeah it's fucked

[@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!

[@Dredpath1]

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.

What is that module you have there I would like to add some conventional smokes to my simplex 4008? Is it inexpensive way to do this like addressable module? Thanks great channel

[@Dredpath1]

Hi Dean, thank you for tuning in! What part are you referring to specifically? To answer your question about the 4008, you would need to use addressable modules to operate your conventional smokes.

Thanks man

[@adarshkollappillil720]

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

[@Dredpath1]

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.

How does the 4100U can change the tones and the voice on speaker strobes?

[@Dredpath1]

That would be done in programming.

[@George-yc7eq]

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.

[@Dredpath1]

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)

[@George-yc7eq]

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

@@George-yc7eq yes it dose have simplex tones and messages. Other then the tones and messages it’s still a Safepath at the end of the day.

Great question, you have to work for simplex in order to do that. I was able to have my panel programmed, because my buddy works for Simplex. I do not have the programming software because it’s proprietary. Hence why my buddy had to program it.
