Simplex® 4100U Fire Alarm Control Panel was a very sucsefull fire panel. We have many installations that still go strong after many years. In a recent maintenance check we discovered on site a "dead" PC that run the 4100U Programmer Softwere, making any core changes nearly impossible. We had to install Windows® 98 and the above software to a new computer. The programmer for the 4100U panel is a Windows based application with graphical interface that enables the user to build a specific site configuration and download the configuration image into the 4100U panel via the PC serial port. The installation process creates a directory named after the Programmer's version (e.g. Version 12.05.02) under "C:\Program Files\Simplex\4100U Programmer" directory. It is essential to use the 4100U Programmer version that matches the Panel Master Exec version.
The programmer operation is controlled by a Programming Key (Dongle) that must be attached to the parallel port to enable programming access. USB dongles take up to 1 minute to be recognized by the software, so don‟t expect it to be immediately ready when first plugged in. If you do not have it in your posetion an error message will redirect you to Simplex Service Support.
To launch the programmer click Start > All Programs > Simplex > the appropriate version number > 4100U Programmer and follow the steps to create a new system configuration.
