Simplex 4100-5402 ES-XPS Card

Description

The Simplex 4100-5402 ES-XPS Card is a high-performance system expansion power supply module engineered to deliver secondary current routing to Simplex 4100ES fire alarm networks. Functioning as a non-charging booster module, this hardware chassis converts universal alternating current input into a stabilized direct current envelope to drive remote transponder bays. By packing advanced line monitoring filters and auxiliary output relays onto a single card, the Simplex 4100-5402 ES-XPS Card delivers an optimal power foundation for demanding multi-zone commercial and industrial life-safety architectures.

Targeted Booster Balancing & Modular PDI Loop Integration Advantages

The core purpose of deploying the Simplex 4100-5402 ES-XPS Card is to scale up power capacity across widespread fire safety loops without paying for redundant battery chargers. In multi-floor buildings or distributed MINIPLEX transponder networks, battery charging is typically centralized at the master bay terminal. By leaving out the heavy charging circuitry, the Simplex 4100-5402 ES-XPS Card functions as a lean, low-heat booster module that maximizes current delivery directly to high-draw audio amplifiers and auxiliary equipment. This design minimizes internal thermal build-up and ensures reliable, clean voltage distribution across long conduit paths.

Additionally, because the card interfaces directly via a two-block Power Distribution Interface (PDI), it allows for flexible option card integration. Systems integrators can snap compatible option modules—such as conventional NAC modules or IDNAC addressable line cards—directly onto the board frame. This eliminates the need for loose pigtail wires or complicated wire splicing loops. The built-in 24V auxiliary relay can be programmed to trigger door-holder releases or HVAC damper shutdowns during emergency states, allowing a single booster panel location to handle high-amperage local zone control commands cleanly.

• Efficient Alternating Current Filtering: Built with robust noise filters to handle universal 120-240 VAC mains input, shielding low-voltage loop sensors from spikes and line background noise.
• Power-Limited Auxiliary Circuits: Built with power-limiting safety boundaries to prevent wiring shorts from causing component damage inside adjacent terminal bays.
• Unified Fan Expansion Support: Seamlessly coordinates with an optional fan assembly kit, increasing the special application current threshold from 9.5 Amps up to a full 12.7 Amps peak.
• Compact Two-Block Footprint: Fits directly into standard panel expansion bay slots, saving valuable rack real estate inside central equipment enclosures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the main difference between the 4100-5402 card and the 4100-5401 card?
A: The 4100-5401 features an integrated battery charger assembly. The 4100-5402 lacks the charger mechanism and serves strictly as a booster supply for expansion bays or remote transponders where charging functions are managed elsewhere.

Q2: Can the Simplex 4100-5402 ES-XPS Card be used to recharge standby batteries?
A: No. This model variant is a non-charging card. If battery charging capability is required for that specific bay location, you must use the 4100-5401 model supply instead.

Q3: How much special application load current can this card deliver if equipped with a panel fan?
A: In standard setups without a fan, it outputs up to 9.5 Amps. Adding an optional 4100-5131 panel fan module increases total DC output power capacity up to 12.7 Amps.

Q4: What types of expansion sub-cards can be mounted directly onto the PDI blocks of this board?
A: The on-board PDI interface plate features pre-molded spaces to cleanly mount up to two standard modules, including conventional NAC cards (4100-5450) or IDNAC addressable controllers (4100-5451).

Q5: What are the primary input alternating current requirements for international systems?
A: The switching transformer accepts a universal input voltage range from 120 VAC up to 240 VAC nominal (50/60 Hz), drawing a maximum of 1.82 Amps at higher voltage settings.

Q6: Does this power board include a programmable auxiliary relay path for door control?
A: Yes, it features an integrated 24V auxiliary relay rated for up to 2 Amps that can be set as normally open or normally closed for localized fan or damper overrides.

Q7: What is the manufacturing country of origin for this fire safety panel component?
A: This genuine life-safety module replacement card is manufactured under strict international regulatory compliance guidelines in Mexico.
