Fire Panel and Master Clock Synchronization

The 4100-9816 Dual Port RS-232 Module allows a Simplex fire alarm control panel to synchronize its system time with a building's master time reference. It has two RS-232 ports, with one dedicated to connecting to a master clock interface. When connected to a GPS time reference through compatible modules, it provides extended timekeeping accuracy. The module mounts on the control panel's motherboard and requires a single slot.

Features
General description
• Dual RS-232 port module with port B dedicated for master clock/
master time interface
• RS-232 port A is available for connection to printers, terminals, or
other compatible peripherals
• Allows the 4100ES Fire Control Panel system time to be synchronized
with the building master time or other desired compatible time
reference

Master clock interface compatibility


• Connects to master time control centers such as the model 6500 that
provides Simplex BCD (binary coded decimal) time signals to the model
6400-9568 BCD Code Converter**
• For extended timekeeping accuracy, the model 6500 Time Control
Center can be connected to GPS Time Reference Interface Module
GPS/6400**

in an expansion bay

Description
Simplex fire alarm control units maintain time and date for reference in
the history logs. For applications where a master time control exists in
the facility, the 4100-9816 Master Clock Interface Module provides an
interface for coordinating the fire alarm control panel time to that of the
master reference.
When time accuracy requirements include synchronization to GPS
satellite time, the GPS/6400 Interface Module with the GPS-427A
Antenna/Receiver can be connected to the model 6400 or 6351 Time
Control Center.
For additional information, refer to Installation and Operating
Instructions 574-913 .
For additional BCD Code Converter information refer to datasheet
S6400-0002. For additional 6500 information, refer to data sheet
S6500-9000. For additional GPS/6400 information refer to data sheet Figure 1: Typical 4100ES Master Clock Interface Block Diagram
