SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL 1 Page 1 INTRODUCTION This manual describes operating procedures for a typical 4100 Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System (EWIS) Panel. Applications may vary due to custom programming and local code requirements. The Simplex Emergency Warning and Intercommunication System (EWIS) option is based on the time tested “state-of-the-art” Simplex 4100 Fire Panel architecture.

SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL Page 3 This section covers the following topics: General Audio System information All Circuits Alert/Action/PA operation Selective Alert/Action/PA operation 1.1 AUDIO FEATURES The 4100 EWIS option provides automatic alert and evacuation messages over preprogrammed speaker circuits during an alarm condition. Alert or Evacuation messages may also be manually initiated either to all areas of a building or to specific areas within the building.
Page 4 SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL 1.1.2 Fault Messages Fault messages from the audio system are shown on the alphanumeric display and entered into the Fault Log. The operator uses the operator interface panel keys to acknowledge the fault, silence the alarm, and reset the fault condition (refer Figure 3). See Section 4, Fault Conditions for required operations. Figure 3 Document No.: 4100-M010A Operator Interface Panel May 1999 Issue 3.
SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL 2 Page 5 AUDIO OPERATIONS This section describes the Audio features and operation of the 4100 EWIS System. 2.1 AUDIO CONTROL LED/SWITCH MODULE Figure 4 shows the Emergency Warning System Audio Control LED/Switch Modules controlling the following functions: AUTO/MANUAL/ISOLATE KEYSWITCH OPERATION ALL CIRCUITS ALERT, EVACUATION SELECTIVE CIRCUITS ALERT, EVACUATION ALL CIRCUITS PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS (P.A.) SELECTIVE CIRCUITS PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS (P.A.
Page 6 SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL The function of each switch is explained in the following paragraphs. 2.2 AUTO / MANUAL / ISOLATE KEY SWITCH OPERATION The keyswitch as shown in Figure 5 provides three panel operating modes namely AUTO, MANUAL AND ISOLATE. The following describes the operation of each mode: AUTO MODE: This is the normal operating mode of the panel.
SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL 2.3 Page 7 ALL CIRCUIT ALERT SWITCH This switch is used to output the ALERT (ALT) tone to all of the speaker circuits. Each switch is a momentary switch that has an LED to indicate switch operation. Pushing the switch to the momentary UP or DOWN position, outputs the ALERT tone to all speaker circuits. The yellow LED tracks the ALERT tone in progress. To cancel the ALL ZONE ALERT tone, push the associated momentary switch in the UP or DOWN position. 2.
Page 8 2.7 SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL ALL CIRCUITS PA (TALK) SWITCH This switch is used to turn ON all speaker circuits to broadcast public address announcements. Each switch is a momentary switch that has an associated led with it to indicate switch operation. The momentary UP or DOWN position of the switch turns all speaker circuits ON. The associated LED (red) is ON when all the speaker circuits are activated for Public address (PA).
SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL 2.9 Page 9 HOW TO OPERATE THE MICROPHONE During AUTO mode, operate the microphone in the following manner. 1. Press the [ALARM ACK] key, if a Fire Alarm signal has been detected by the Evacuation panel. This will silence the panel beeper and acknowledge the alarm condition. 2. To talk to ALL areas: Turn Evac keyswitch to MANUAL position. Operate the momentary ALL ZONE PA switch wait for the RED LED to light up and go to Step 3.
Page 10 2.10 SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL HOW TO MANUALLY INITIATE AN ALERT / EVACUATION SIGNAL 2.10.1 Alert Signal Operation To manually initiate an ALERT signal, do the following: 1. To alert ALL areas: a. b. Turn Evac keyswitch to MANUAL position. Operate the momentary UP or DOWN position of the ALL ZONES ALERT Switch. This will broadcast the alert tone to all areas. To alert specific areas: a. b. 2. Turn Evac keyswitch to MANUAL position.
SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL 2.10.3 Page 11 How to Operate the Microphone during Non-Alarm Conditions During non-alarm conditions, operate the microphone in the following manner. 1. To talk to ALL areas: Turn Evac keyswitch to the MANUAL position. Push the momentary ALL ZONES PA Switch UP or DOWN. This will select All Zones for PA announcement. Now go to Step 2. To talk to SPECIFIC areas: Turn Evac keyswitch to the MANUAL position.
Page 12 3 SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL EMERGENCY INTERCOMMUNICATION (WIP) OPERATION The Emergency Intercommunication System provides telephone style communication from the master warden intercommunication phone (WIP) on the master panel to remote telephone type WIP handsets located remotely in the evacuation zones. The operation of the WIP system is entirely independent of the Emergency Warning System and is not affected by the operation of the AUTO/MANUAL/ISOLATE keyswitch. 3.
SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL 3.2 Page 13 SELECTIVE ZONE WIP SWITCHES These switches are used to call or answer a remote WIP located in an evacuation zone. Each switch is a momentary switch that has an associated LED to indicate WIP operation. Pushing the switch to the momentary UP position establishes connection to a remote WIP. Pushing the switch again in the momentary DOWN position cancels conversation with the remote WIP.
Page 14 3.4 SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL WIP OPERATION To operate the WIPs do the following: 1. 2. To Call a WIP from the Main panel: a. Lift the master WIP Handset from its cradle. b. Push the required zone WIP switch to the momentary UP position. The remote WIP will ring and the RED LED will go steady when the REMOTE WIP is answered. c. To cancel call, push the selected zone WIP switch to the momentary DOWN position. The RED led will turn off.
SIMPLEX 4100 EWIS OPERATOR MANUAL 4 Page 15 FAULT CONDITIONS When a fault condition is detected by the EWIS System, the condition is indicated on the main 4100 EWIS PANEL as follows: - Yellow "SYSTEM FAULT" LED is flashing. - Tone-alert is on steady. - Alphanumeric display shows the following: **FAULT** ALARMS = 0 Press ACK to review. ISOLATED = 0 FAULT = 1 The panel has a yellow fault LED which will light whenever a fault is present in the system.
