Simplex 4100-3101 IDNet Communication Module (250-Point) for Fire Alarm Systems

Simplex · Fire & Life Safety

Description  The Simplex 4100-3101 IDNet Module is an intelligent communication interface card that allows a fire alarm control panel to support up to 250 addressable IDNet devices. It provides high-speed digital signaling between the system CPU and field detection or notification devices over a single two-wire circuit.     Technical Specifications  Condition New/Never Used Surplus Brand Simplex Category PLCs/Machine Control Part Number 4100-3101 Subcategory PLC Module/Rack Type IDNet Communication Module Compatible Panels Simplex 4100U / 4100ES Device Capacity Up to 250 addressable IDNet points Communication Type IDNet two-wire signaling line circuit Operating Voltage 24 VDC supplied from the control panel IDNet Loop Power 30 VDC nominal or 36 VDC at 350 mA Max. Wiring Distance 10,000 feet (3,048 m) Line Resistance Up to 40 Ohms Line Capacitance 0.60 μF (line-to-line and shield-to-line) Mounting Plug-in card to power distribution interface Dimensions 4" × 5" circuit card Certification UL Listed, NFPA 72 compliant Weight 1.30 lbs     Information About 4100-3101 The 4100-3101 is part of the Simplex 4100U and 4100ES system platform, serving as the IDNet channel interface that connects detectors, modules, and manual stations on the addressable loop. The module installs directly into the panel’s power distribution interface and communicates with field devices via IDNet signaling. With a communication range of up to 10,000 feet, it ensures stable data transmission across extensive installations. The 4100-3101 is designed for industrial-grade reliability and is UL Listed for fire alarm applications. Though discontinued, it remains a critical component for maintaining existing 4100-series systems, with the 4100-3102 serving as its functional replacement. Key Features: 250-Point Capacity: Supports up to 250 addressable IDNet devices on one loop. Panel Compatibility: Designed for use with Simplex 4100ES and 4100U fire alarm control panels. Reliable Communication: Digital signaling over a two-wire IDNet SLC loop. Extended Wiring Distance: Supports wiring runs up to 10,000 feet. Power Supply Integration: Operates from the FACP 24 VDC source with 30–36 VDC IDNet output. High Device Density: Ideal for large facilities requiring multiple addressable detection points. Compact Design: 4” × 5” plug-in circuit card for efficient space use. UL Listed: Certified for fire alarm applications and code compliance. Line Tolerance: Handles up to 40 Ohms line resistance and 0.60 μF capacitance. Suggested Replacement: Superseded by model 4100-3102 in current production systems. The 4100-3101 delivers dependable addressable device communication and high capacity for intelligent Simplex 4100-series fire alarm systems.
