 Reset, Cold Start and Swap CFIG

There are two Reset Modes accessible from the Master Controller
that are equivalent to Warm Starts.

• “Soft”Reset – Push the Reset button on the Master Controller for

less than three seconds to cause a Soft Reset. A Warm Start
preserves the History Logs and the disabled status.
• “Hard”Reset – Forces the Master Controller to reset (not normally
required). Push the Reset button on the Master Controller for more
than four seconds to cause a Hard Reset. This feature performs
the same end result as a Warm Start.

85
 Reset, Cold Start and Swap CFIG
Other Master Controller Push Button Switch Options Include:
• ColdStart – Momentarily press the Reset button on the Master
Controller and then press and hold this Cold Start button until the
display reads COLD START.
• This process clears all History Logs and restore all previously
disabled points.
• This process also clears the Install Mode List
(covered later in the course)
• Swap CFIG – Momentarily press the Reset button on the Master
Controller and then press and hold this Swap CFIG button until the
display reads SWAP CFIG. This feature restores the previous job
configuration file and performs a Cold Start.
Note: The 4100ES has enhanced this procedure within
File Transfer “History/Undo” software.

What is a Point?

A hardware point is a specific item or element of the Fire Alarm System

• Monitor (SMOKE, PULL, WATER)
• Control (BELL, HORN, RELAY)

A software point is called a Pseudo point

• Digital Pseudo – has two states, a point type, has a label
• Analog Pseudo – has two states, holds a value or counts, has a label
• List Pseudo – contains other points, exhibits the state of its points, has
a label

112
 Device Types and Examples

• Addressable(MAPNET and IDNet) Device Types identify the

device at a particular address.
Addressable Examples:
HEAT - PHOTO - CSPHOTO - IDNetISO

• Conventional (Hardwired) Device Types identify the type of

circuit that the devices are connected to.
Hardwired Zone Examples:
SCAN50 = Security
SMONB = Fire (Class B)
SMONA = Fire (Class A)

135
 File Transfer – Overview
• The features of the File Transfer application are organized by four tabs:

– Download
– Upload/Reports
– Mass Storage
– History Undo

136
 File Transfer – Download
• By
default, the currently loaded job in the Programmer is selected for
download to the panel.
• There are also options available for downloading panel software
features (Panel Exec, Slave Exec, etc.).
• All
files are first downloaded to the Master Controller Card’s Compact
Flash Memory before being transferred to internal flash memory.
• Thisprovides a means for recovering previous configurations
(using File Transfer - History/Undo feature).
• It
also allows the FACP to continue operating during the file download
operation.
With the 4100ES, Panel downtime is minimal

137
 File Transfer – Ethernet Download Speeds
• Files
are transferred to the panel via Ethernet at between 60K and
100K bytes per second. (Serial downloads run at approximately
19.2K per second.)

There is no appreciable loss in performance

for Remote Downloads

interfacing with 4100ES slave cards. (Much like the Operating System
does for a PC).
• Executive Software = ES_X.bin (X = Executive Software Revision)
This file is located in the 4100Ubin/RevX folder
• This software is updated\changed with every revision.

Note: If the CFIG Revision and the Programmer Exec. Revision do not
match the system will display an Error 34.

141
 Software Files - CFIG

CFIG
• Provides the Master Controller specific information about system
hardware and software operation. (Much like data your enter on a PC).
• CFIG Software = (If using CFIG or bootloader download)
X_Y.txt (X = Job name and Y is the build revision)

• This software is updated by the programmer (technician).

142
 Software Files – Slave Executives

Slave Executive Software

• Is the Operating System for the 4100ES card.
• Slave Exec Software = SPS_3.12 (SPS = 4100ES card type)
• This file is located in the 4100Ubin/RevX folder
• This software is NOT updated and/or changed with every revision.

Slave Bootloader Software

• Provides communication to the slave card when Slave Exec is not
present
• Slave Bootloader allows Slave Exec to be updated
• Slave Exec can be erased (causes TBL “Slave needs Exec download”)
