The Audio Operator Interface
Overview The Audio Operator Interface consists of an LED/switch module and a microphone. The
LED/switch module is one of the following:
4100-1252 Audio Operator Interface – 1 Channel
4100-1253 Audio Operator Interface – 1.5 Channel
4100-1254 Audio Operator Interface – 2 Channels
4100-1255 Audio Operator Interface – 3-8 Channels
One of the above modules, along with a microphone, provides the operator with manual control
over the audio system.
User interface functionality is driven by the 4100-1288 LED/Switch Controller Card, which
mounts behind the audio operator interface module.
Optional Modules Additional varieties of LED/switch cards can be added next to the audio operator interface module
and microphone:
4100-1280 8-Switch/8-LED Display Card. With red LEDs.
4100-1281 8-Switch/8-LED Display Card. With yellow LEDs.
4100-1282 8-Switch/16-LED Display Card. With one red and one yellow LED per
switch.
4100-1283 8-Switch/16-LED Display Card. With two yellow LEDs per switch.
4100-1284 8-Switch/16-LED Display Card. With one red and one green LED per switch.
4100-1285 16-Switch/16-LED Display Card. With red LEDs.
4100-1286 Hands Off Auto (HOA) Switch Display Card. Provides 24 switches and 24
LEDs. The HOA uses an overlay to group every 3 switches together, denoting on, off,
and automatic control of smoke control components. For every group of 3 switches, there
are 3 LEDs (green-red-green).
4100-1287 24-Switch/24-LED Display Card. With red LEDs.
Each LED/switch module contains between 8 and 24 switches and LEDs, each one separately
configurable.

Step 1: Configuring the Cards
Overview The LED/switch controller is the only user interface module that requires physical configuration.
Configuration consists of setting jumper P1 and setting the device address. This section covers
configuration for both cards.
Activating the If the LED/switch controller is used in a remote annunciator, it can make the UI card annunciate a
Communication communication loss condition. If communication loss occurs when this setting is activated, LED 1
Loss Feature of the first connected display card illuminates, and the piezo on the LED/switch controller sounds.
The indication is silenced via the corresponding switch (switch 1 on the first display card).
Use jumper port P1 to activate or deactivate the communication loss feature.
Positions 1 and 2 deactivate the feature (default).
Positions 2 and 3 activate the communication loss feature.
Setting the 4100-1288 LED/Switch Controller only. The controller device address is set via DIP switch SW1,
Controller Address which is a bank of eight switches. From left to right (see Figure 3, below) these switches are
designated as SW1-1 through SW1-8. The function of these switches is as follows:
SW1-1. This switch sets the baud rate for the internal 4100 communications line running
between the card and the 4100 CPU. Set this switch to ON.
SW1-2 through SW1-8. These switches set the card’s address within the 4100 FACP.
Refer to Table 2 for a complete list of the switch settings for all of the possible card
addresses.
Note: You must set these switches to the value assigned to the card by the
Programmer.

Step 2: Mounting
Overview The master microphone, as well as all display cards, must be mounted to the front of an expansion
box. A remote microphone must be mounted differently to a remote back box. The section
describes how to mount local and remote microphones, as well as the audio display card.
Mounting the Audio Refer to Figure 4, below, to mount the audio operator interface display card and microphone.
Operator Interface
Note: The microphone assembly is the same for the 4100-1243 and -1244 versions.
The only difference in the remote microphone is the addition of a field wiring
terminal block for connection to the 4100-1210 or 4100-1211 Audio
Controller Card.

Controller Card the audio operator card, or any other LED/switch card in the same bay.
Assembly
1. Use four 322-123 Nuts and four 268-009 Washers to secure the 637-141 Bracket to the
inside front of the expansion box. Note that there are only two locations where the
bracket can be mounted, as shown in Figure 4.
2. Attach the header connector on the back side of the controller (P4) to the connector on
the back side of one of the LED/switch modules.
3. Secure the controller card to the board using four #6 screws, as shown in Figure 5.

Step 3: Wiring
Overview User interface wiring consists of connecting the LED/switch controller card to the expansion box’s
power distribution interface (PDI), and connecting display cards to each other. This section
describes both of these procedures.
Card The following directions are complete instructions on interconnecting display cards and
Interconnections connecting the controller card to a power source.
1. Use Harness 734-008 to connect P2 on the controller card to one of the 4-pin connectors
on the PDI.
2. If there are multiple controller cards, use Harness 734-036 to connect P3 on the controller
card to P2 on another controller card.
3. Interconnect all LED/switch display cards with the ribbon cables (provided). Connector
P1 is the input; connector P2 is the output.
