1. Product Overview

The SIMPLEX 4100-3102 is a MAPNET II addressable interface module designed for use in Simplex 4100-series fire alarm control panels, including the 4100U and 4100ES systems. It functions as a communication interface between the fire alarm control panel (FACP) and field-installed addressable devices such as smoke detectors, manual pull stations, and monitoring modules.

The module enables the fire panel to supervise and communicate with devices connected to the MAPNET II signaling line circuit (SLC). By supporting up to 127 addressable points, it allows large buildings and industrial facilities to connect numerous fire detection devices to a single control system while maintaining reliable monitoring and alarm reporting.

The 4100-3102 is typically installed in the CPU bay or expansion bay of the fire alarm control unit and uses a motherboard and daughter-card architecture to provide stable communication with field devices.
