Introduction to the Audio Controllers

Overview

The 4100-1210 Analog Audio Controller, 4100-1211 Digital Audio Controller, 4100-1311 Digital Audio Controller, and their respective option cards make up the audio controller subsystem of the Fire Alarm System. The controller is the head end of the audio system, and is seen by the system CPU as a single slave: only the audio card is visible, while any option cards appear logically as memory-mapped locations on the audio controller.

The main function of the audio controller card is to control system audio inputs and to recreate stored audio messages for distribution throughout the system. Analog audio inputs to the system include local and remote microphones and fire fighter phone option cards, and can be expanded through the use of the 4100-1240 Audio Input Option Card. Pre-recorded messages are stored on the audio controller’s FLASH memory and can be expanded through the use of the 4100- 1241/1242 Message Expansion Card.

While both the analog and digital versions of the controller have the capability to recreate stored digital audio messages, the cards differ in their method of distributing audio throughout the system.

• The 4100-1210 Analog Audio Controller uses analog risers for system distribution and allows 2 channels on 2-wire pairs of digital message reproduction.
• The 4100-1211 or -1311 Digital Audio Controller uses an RS-485-based digital communication means for system distribution. There are up to 8 channels on a single-wire pair of digital message reproduction on this card.

Note: The 4100-1311 DAC is fully backward compatible with previous digital audio systems as long as you set Supervision Jumper P8 to Position 1-2 to silence supervision and have installed 4100U Master Firmware Revision 11.08 or later.

Additional audio controller functionality includes supervision of its inputs and distribution channels (risers), and communication with the system CPU.
Option cards are compatible with either type of Audio Controller Card, as are message files and download software.

LED Functions

For Digital Audio Controller LED functions, refer to Table 1 below.

Reference	Name	Description
LED1 (Applies to both Analog & Digital Controllers)	COMM_LOSS	When ON steadily, indicates the audio controller is not communicating with the master, or is missing its slave exec code. When OFF, indicates that the controller is communicating with the master. When FLASHING, indicates the audio controller is downloading data from the message download port.
LED2 (4100-1311 Only) (Applies to Digital Controllers Only)	SECONDARY ENABLE	When ON, indicates the DAR is in degraded mode (Class A is enabled). When OFF, indicates the DAR is not in degraded mode (Class A is disabled).
*LED3 (4100-1311 Only) (Applies to Digital Controllers Only)	DAR SOURCE	When ON, indicates that the DAR riser’s source is the DAR that’s coming from the PDI. When OFF, indicates the DAR riser’s source is this audio card’s DAR.
*LED4 (4100-1311 Only (Applies to Digital Controllers Only)	PDI DIRECTION	When ON, indicates that this card is receiving the DAR from the PDI. When OFF, indicates that this card is driving its DAR onto the PDI.

*When the 4100-1311 Digital Audio Controller replaces the 4100-1211 Digital Audio  Controller, LEDs 3 & 4 on the 4100-1311 should always be OFF. In most situations, LEDs 3 & 4 should both be ON or OFF at the same time; only in rare  circumstances would these LEDs be in different states (such as when they are user-defined in custom control equations).

Configuring the Audio Controller Card

Overview	This section describes how to configure the audio controller card. Configuration is the same for analog and digital audio controllers except where indicated.
Configuring the Download Speed	A jumper is used to select the download speed from the FACP programmer. Use jumper P8 on the analog audio controller. Use jumper P7 on the digital audio controller. Position 1-2: Download speed = 56 K Position 2-3: Download speed = 115 K (default)
Configuring the Supervision Mode (4100-1311 Digital Audio Controller Only)	A jumper is used to configure the Digital Audio Controller for backward compatibility. Use jumper P8 to set the compatibility mode. Position 1-2: Silence Supervision (used for backward compatibility when the card is used as a retrofit or replacement in systems having Digital Audio Riser Interface Cards [566-243] or a Digital Audio Controller [4100-1211]). Position 2-3: Constant Supervision (default) (used in current systems or systems being retrofitted for constant supervision where all 566-243 Digital Audio Riser Interface Cards [DARICs] and 4100-1211 Digital Audio Controllers [DACs] are being replaced with later versions [566-407 for DARICs & 4100-1311 for DACs])
Setting the Address	The device address is set via DIP switch SW1, which is a bank of eight switches. From left to right (see Figure 3) 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 CPU. Set this switch to ON. SW1-2 through SW1-8. These switches set the card’s address within the FACP. Refer to Table 2 for a complete list of the switch settings for all of the possible card addresses. Notes: You must set these switches to the value assigned to the card by the Programmer. The SW1 setting applies to audio controller slaves, including audio input cards.

Installing the Audio Controller onto the PDI

The audio controller assembly is designed to be mounted on the PDI in an FACP expansion bay.
The card should be mounted onto the leftmost side of the PDI.
Use the connector on the back side of the audio controller card to connect to the left side of the bay as shown in Figure 4.

Audio Controller Field Wiring

Overview

This section contains the field wiring drawings for the analog and digital audio controllers. Input
Option Card, Remote Mic, and Line Level wiring diagrams are valid for both the Analog and
Digital Controllers.

Note: Use supplied ferrite beads with digital audio controllers. Loop wires once through the supplied ferrite bead(s) as shown in Figure 5.

Audio Input Card Interconnections

Note: Refer to the Fire Alarm System Audio Input Card Installation Instructions (579-160) for information on the audio input card.

Analog Interconnections

Figure 7 is an illustration of Class A and Class B wiring from the analog audio controller to analog risers

• Leave the 4.7 K, ½ W resistors (378-056; yellow/violet/red) on the “+” to “-” terminals of unused contacts.
• All wiring is 18 AWG (0.8321 mm2 ) to 14 AWG (2.081 mm2 ), twisted shielded pair.
• Audio wiring is not to be mixed in the same jacket with other wiring (including other audio wiring).
• AC voltage rating: 10 VRMS (maximum)
• DC voltage rating: 2 VDC (maximum)
• Maximum number of analog interface cards per audio riser: 31.
• All wiring that leaves the building requires the 2081-9044 Overvoltage Protector at each entry or exit to the building.
• Maximum wire distance: 10,000 feet (3,048 m).
• Wiring must be free of all grounds.
• Set audio input card jumpers as shown in “Configuring the Audio Input Card.”
• All riser wiring is supervised and power limited

Connecting the Analog Riser to Legacy 4100

The FACP may be connected to the 4100 Legacy Audio Controller via the FACP Audio Riser and the Network input on the Legacy Controller. The FACP uses a 10VRMS Analog Audio riser. In order to interface to a legacy 4100 Audio Controller Network input, an isolation/step-down transformer must be used. This is an existing product, the Audio Isolator Assembly, PN 742-302.
The setup is slightly different from the instructions that are supplied with the module. Following are the modified installation instructions:

1. Connect the incoming nominal 10 VRMS FACP Audio Riser wiring to TB1 on the audio isolator. If the installation requires IN and OUT wiring, two wires may be installed under each screw of TB1.
   Note: The in and out wiring must be two separate wires. Do not loop the wire around the TB1 screws.
2. If there is only one audio wire pair coming into the panel, isolate and tape back the shield with high quality electrical tape.
3. If the installation requires IN and OUT wiring, install as indicated in Step 1 above, connect the shields of the incoming and outgoing wires together to maintain continuity of the shield. The preferable method is to twist the shields together, solder and cover with a high quality electrical tape.
