Audio Tone List
The Temporal Patternisavailable for compatible tones
(1/2 sec on, 1/2 sec off, 1/2 sec on, 1/2 sec off, 1/2 sec on,
1-1/2 sec off) to indicate evacuation. The following is a
list of the standard audio tones.
Horn, continuous 500 Hz tone, primarily used for coded
systems or general temporal pattern signaling
Chime, a digitally recorded mechanical chime tone,
normally used free-running or for coded operation
Bell, a digitally recorded mechanical bell sound,
normally used free-running, for coded systems, or
general temporal pattern signaling
Fast Whoop, a quickly ascending tone
Slow Whoop, a slowly ascending tone
High/Low, with high frequency of 750 Hz for 100 ms and
low frequency of 500 Hz for 400 ms
Beep, 500 Hz tone of 0.7 s on, 0.7 s off
Stutter, 500 Hz tone with on and off times of 100 ms
Wail, ascends, then descends between 600 to 940 Hz
GSA Tone, continuous 2000 Hz tone
Audio Controller Message Description
Zone Coded Signaling is available using tones or
spoken numbers. Spoken coded messages can be used in
place of conventional pulse tone coding to eliminate
counting and interpretation of the zone coded location.
For example, a fire alarm zone such as First Floor East,
Smoke Detector Room 23 will be Code 1123.
The Audio Controller has the ability to precede spoken
codes with phrases and alert tones. As an alternative, the
previous example could have been preceded with a chime
tone. The word “code” could be replaced wit h the ph rase
“Doctor Firestone, please dial...”.
Preprogrammed Special Messages can be ordered.
Up to 32 minutes of special phrases and messages are
available to meet specific applications. The standard
Evacuation Message is: “Attention... Attention...
Attention...An emergency has been reported.... All
occupants walk to the nearest stairway exit and walk
down to your assigned re-entry floor or main lobby... Do
not use the elevator... Walk to the nearest stairway.... Do
not use the elevator.... Walk to the nearest stairway.”

Audio Amplifiers General Description
4100ES audio amplifiers are available as dual channel
models rated for 35 W (Flex-35) or 50 W (Flex-50) and as
single channel 100 W models with on-board NACs
(notification appliance circuits) for convenient field
wiring. Common features are summarized as follows:
Analog input amplifier models are for single or dual
channel system operation
Digital input amplifier models are for multi-channel
system operation providing up to eight channels over a
single twisted wire pair
Amplifiers are power-limited with models available
providing 25 VRMS, or 70.7 VRMS output
When Non-Alarm Audio (NAA) applications (such as
for background music, paging, or for Mass Notification)
are required, optional Constant Supervision modules
provide continued speaker zone supervision during the
page or while background music is playing; due to the
NAA supervision requirements, amplifiers used for
paging or playing background music are derated to 70%
of alarm output rating (24.5 W, 35 W, and 70 W)
Linear power output stages are traditional Class B
designs for low distortion and low EMI
An on-board 500 Hz temporal pattern horn tone on each
amplifier provides a default backup tone
Supervision actively monitors amplifier gain in real
time, comparing output level to input level
On-board test switches can be activated to test and
observe amplifier backup
On-board overcurrent protection protects against
overloads and short circuits
Each amplifier communicates to the host CPU and
allows voltage and current values to be accessed from
the fire alarm control panel operator interface
Flex-35 and Flex-50 Amplifiers, General
Flex-35 and Flex-50 amplifiers are a self-backup
dual channel design that provides a total of 35 W or
50 W of audio power with the following common feature
summary:
Self-backup feature allows NACs connected to a disabled
amplifier channel to be routed to the remaining channel
with the full 35 W or 50 W providing the single channel
as selected by the fire alarm control panel programming;
external backup amplifiers are not required
Three standard on-board audio NACs are each rated for
2 A maximum and are capable of being routed to either
desired amplifier channel
Compatible power supplies include the: Expansion
Power Supply (XPS), Remote Power Supply (RPS),
or System Power Supply (SPS); power supplies with
single amplifiers can provide power for other compatible
applications within their rated output
Digital models of the Flex-35 and Flex-50 have a digital
decoder module that selects one or two of the input
channels as desired
Selectable reduced output levels of -12 dB or -6 dB are
available for non-emergency audio output, s el ect abl e per
channel
Flex-35 Amplifiers
Each Flex-35 channel is capable of up to 35 W output
with a total of 35 W
Channels can be divided as 0 W and 35 W; 17.5 W and
17.5 W; 10 W and 25 W; or any combination that totals
35 W or less
Flex-50 Amplifiers
Each Flex-50 channel is capable of up to 50 W output
with a total output of 50 W
Channels can be divided as 0 W and 50 W; 25 W and
25 W; 10 W and 40 W; or any combination that totals
50 W or less
Dual Flex-35 or Flex-50 Connections
Two Flex-35 amplifiers, or two Flex-50 amplifiers can
connect to a single Expansion Power Supply (XPS) in
the same audio expansion bay (amplifiers must be the
same model number); XPS output is dedicated to
amplifier power
Mounting for dual Flex-35 or Flex-50 amplifiers is

100 W amplifiers provide single channel operation per
the following feature summary:
Six standard on-board Class B audio NACs are each
rated for 2 A maximum
100 W amplifiers include a built-in power supply and
use system battery backup
Amplifier and power supply size requires four
continuous blocks of expansion bay size
A single 100W primary amplifier or both a primary and
a backup amplifier can be located on a single expansion
bay (refer to page 7 for bay loading)
Redundant (backup) amplifiers interconnect directly to
minimize wiring connections and their power is routed
through the NACs of the primary amplifier
Redundant amplifier operation can be configured as
one-for-one or one-for-many depending on specific
requirements
Digital models of these amplifiers have a digital decoder
module that selects the desired input channel per system
requirements
Selectable reduced output levels of -12 dB or -6 dB are
available for non-emergency audio output
Audio NAC Expansion Modules
For applications requiring additional NACs, modules are
available for on-board expansion and further expansion
is available with the chassis mounted 4100-5116

Firefighter Telephone System Description
Firefighter telephone systems provide two-way
communications for facilities where radio
communications may not be available or are unreliable.
They are typically used during active firefighting
conditions, during a fire alarm investigation, or during fire
alarm system inspection and test.
System Operation. Connections are made using a
common talk line (party line) that includes a Master
Telephone and up to six remote telephones. Remote
telephones call into the Master by either being taken
off-hook or by being plugged into a telephone jack. The
Master Telephone location receives a ring-in tone with a
visible LED indicator for each telephone circuit. When
the call is received, the operator selects the calling
telephone circuit using the assigned switch control. The
operator at the master location can place the original
telephone circuit on hold and connect to additional
telephone circuits or add them to the talk line.
Master Telephone Operation. The Master Telephone
connects directly into a telephone interface module. A
Push-to-Talk (PTT) switch provides the oper a tor wi t h voi ce
input control. Each master telephone uses local LED/switch
modules to select telephone circuits and to silence any
subsequent call-ins until selected.
Telephone Circuit Control. A call request causes the
local call-in tone sounder and assigned telephone circuit
LED to pulse quickly. Pushing the calling circuit’s switch
silences the local sounder and connects that circuit to the
talk line. Activating the switch again places that circuit on
hold with a hold tone being heard at the remote telephones
and causing that circuit’s LED to pulse slowly. Subsequent
pushes toggles from active to hold. Activating a telephone
circuit switch when no call is incoming places a request to
pick up on remote telephones equipped with local LEDs.
Master telephones can be also be connected as an input to
an audio controller module to allow audio system message
broadcasting without using a microphone.

Remote Master Telephones mount in Remote
Annunciator Cabinets and are wired as the only connection
to a telephone circuit. By adding local LED/switch
modules, operation is that of the Master Telephone.
Remote telephones are available cabinet mounted or
for plugging into a dedicated telephone jack. Each hears a
ring tone when a call-in is selected and a hold tone when
placed on hold. When on hold, the remote telephones are
each separated from the talk line.
The Telephone Interface Module provides three
Class B (Class A option is available) telephone circuits,
connection for a master telephone, and a telephone riser
input. One module is supplied when selecting a Master
Telephone. Additional telephone interface modules can be
added as required. Telephone circuit outputs can be
programmed as remote telephones, as a Remote Master,
or for telephone riser operation. Telephone circuits are
supervised for opens, shorts, and overload conditions. The
Master Telephone is supervised for broken cord or
off-hook.
Telephone riser operation can be programmed to
provide a telephone riser output that is used to
interconnect telephone interface modules in different
locations. This output type has ring and hold tones
disabled.
Degraded Mode. If the telephone interface module
loses communications with the host fire alarm control
panel, telephone circuits off-hook are automatically
connected to the talk line allowing any telephone to talk
to another simply by being picked up (or plugged in).
