Step 6. Installing LED/Switch Modules into Expansion Bays

Overview

The LED/switch user interface consists of a variety of modules, mounted to the front of

 

an expansion bay, which are configured via the 4100U Programmer. Each display module

 

contains between 8 and 24 switches and LEDs, each one separately configurable.

 

User interface functionality is driven by the 64/64 LED/Switch Controller Card, which

 

mounts behind two of the display modules (in positions 1 and 2). The types of modules

 

typically used in 4100U-S1 are as follows:

 

4100-1288

LED/Switch Controller Card with mounting plate.

 

4100-1289

LED/Switch Controller Card (no mounting plate; it mounts on the

 

 

expansion space of 4100-1288).

 

4100-1282

Display Card. With one red and one yellow LED per switch, this is

 

 

used for Alarm Zone Facility displays.

 

4100-1294

Slide-In Label Kit - one per 4100U-S1 cabinet

 

• ME0456 Fan Control Module

Each 4100-1288 or 4100-1289 LED/switch controller supports up to 64 LED indicators and 64 switch controls. Using the 4100-1282 Display Card for zone displays, this corresponds to 32 zones per controller.

Other display cards are available for special display functions. Special configuration is required to use other display cards. Contact your Simplex dealer for guidance.
