Introduction to the Isolator Modules

General Information

The 4100/4120-0111 and 4100-3103 Quad Isolator Modules consist of two cards: a motherboard
that mounts into either a CPU bay or an expansion bay and a daughter card that mount into the
motherboard. The 4100/4120-0111 and 4100-3103 Quad Isolator Modules are not compatible
with the IDNet Addressable Isolators. General capabilities of the isolator module include:

Monitors and controls up to four loops. The 4100/4120-0111 (MAPNET II) and 41003103 (MAPNET II or IDNet) modules allow you to segment the entire MAPNET II or IDNet
channel into four loops (maximum). Segmenting the channel simplifies troubleshooting and
allows other devices to continue operating if a short circuit condition occurs on the MAPNET
II loop.
Note: The isolator card takes up four card MAPNET II/IDNet addresses.

Class A or Class B operation. With Class A operation, if an open occurs on any loop,
the isolator module energizes an internal relay that enables the B lines to carry the
MAPNET II or IDNet signal. In Class B operation, the faulty loop disconnects and the other
loops continue to operate.

Short circuit disconnection. The isolator module disconnects loops on which it senses a
short. Loops that have shorts are continuously monitored and are automatically reconnected
when the short condition clears.

Functionality

The isolator operates in conjunction with the short circuit protection already present on the
MAPNET II or IDNet Interface (Transceiver) Board (562-976). On power up, the transceiver tests
the portion of the line that it is protecting to see if any shorts exist. If a short is detected, the
transceiver restricts power from flowing into that portion of the line on which the short was
detected. If a short is detected after power-up, the transceiver (not the isolator) shuts down the
channel for 750 milliseconds. The channel is then powered up and the isolator acts to isolate the
faulty line.
The short circuit trouble clears when the short is removed from the lines. The "Class A" fault
status will clear only when the fault condition is corrected, and a System Reset has been initiated
from the 4100 operator interface panel.
In addition to short circuit protection, the isolator monitors a secondary wire pair for Class A
supervision. If a break in any line is detected, the Isolator switches communications onto both the
primary and secondary pairs.
The isolator can also be used to disconnect communication lines and shields from the transceiver
to aid in the location of earth troubles in the system, as well as other installation problems. This
Loop Isolation operation can only be accomplished from the operator interface panel.
Each isolator is regularly polled by the master controller to determine its current state. If the
isolator does not respond, this fact will be reported as a "NO ANSWER" trouble against that
device. When the device IS communicating properly, it will answer the poll with a "normal",
"short circuit", or "open circuit" response, depending on the current hardware state of the system.
A Correction Device Status check is made whenever a device is initialized. If the device address
or location is incorrect, the MAPNET II or IDNet transceiver will ignore status messages from the
isolator and will not send control messages to it.
The isolator must be addressed at a valid MAPNET II or IDNet location and the job must be
programmed to recognize it.

LEDs

The on-board LEDs, LED 1 through LED 4, indicate the trouble state of the corresponding
MAPNET II or IDNet loop.

Card Configuration

Overview

This section contains instructions on how to configure the card via DIP switches and jumpers.
Notes:

SW1

The isolator is not a 4100 daughter card; rather, it is an IDNet slave.

There are three different types of IDNet cards: 64-Point, 127-Point, and 250-Point
capacity. Even though IDNet can support a maximum of 250 devices, higher addresses
may be inaccessible because of the hardware used. Be sure that you know the model of
the IDNet card that is connected to the isolator so that you can correctly set addresses for
the card version you have.
The System Power Supply (SPS) supports 250 devices.

SW1-1 through SW1-8 are address switches. Setting a switch ON corresponds to the logic low
or 0 state while setting a switch OFF equals logic high or 1.
Refer to Table 1 for a complete list of the switch settings for all of the possible device addresses.

SW2

Switch SW2 is a rotary switch that selects the number of active loops of MAPNET II/IDNet
devices. Set SW2 to position 1, 2, 3, or 4 to select the number of active loops.
The Loop 1 address is set on SW1. Loops 2, 3, and 4 (if active) occupy consecutive addresses
above Loop 1.
Note:
1.
2.

JW1 JW8

Switch positions 0, 5, 6, and 7 are invalid selections.

Addresses for Loops 2, 3, and 4 must be less than 127 for MAPNETII and less than 250 for
IDNet. If all 4 loops are used the highest address for MAPNET II is 124 and the highest
address for IDNet is 247.

Jumpers JW1 through JW8 are factory-set to specify the 27C64 EPROM (740-748) in board
position U11. The correct configuration for these jumpers is as follows:

JW1, JW4, JW6, JW7, JW8 are out.

JW2, JW3, JW5 are in.

Figure 3. DIP Switch and Jumper Locations

Programming
Considerations

The 4100 Programming Unit allows isolators to be added to any valid address. Observe the
MAPNET II and IDNet address ranges as shown on Page 5. Because of hardware constraints,
quad isolators must be placed at sequential addresses. The isolator uses "ISO" for both the device
and point type, and requires up to four MAPNET II addresses in the configuration based on active
loops selected by Switch S2. There can be up to eight isolators on a MAPNET II/IDNet channel.
The custom label field is like any other MAPNET II/IDNet device. The 40-character custom label
should provide enough information to help find the fault.
The isolator causes no changes to lists or groups that are automatically generated by the
programmer. The isolator can be included in user-defined lists, if desired.
Continued on next page

Card Configuration, Continued

Programming
Considerations

Isolators can be accessed using the same logical number scheme used for MAPNET II addressable
devices. The allowable opcodes and qualifiers for isolators used in Custom Control equations are
as follows:
- ON
- DISABLE
- TBL, TBLACK
- NORM
- SHORT
- OPEN
- SET ON, SET OFF, SET PRI
- TRACK ON, TRACK OFF, TRACK PRI
- HOLD ON, HOLD OFF, HOLD PRI
- DISABLE ON, DISABLE OFF
- RESET - The RESET causes the device to re-try its McCulloh loop and clear the trouble bit if
the trouble is cleared.
The following LED programming modes are valid for isolators:
- SMPL SMPL-controlled LED
- T Trouble state only with Acknowledge
- T AL Alert on Trouble state
- ON, OFF Primary state ON, OFF
- AL Alert on Primary state
- DIS Track Disable state
- ABAL Alert on Abnormal state
- NORM Normal state
- ABN Abnormal state
- OPEN Open state
The following switch programming modes are also valid for isolators:
- SMPL SMPL Control
- TOF Toggle (ON, OFF)
- PST, PBH Push Button Track, Hold
- HOA1 Single-relay HOA
- ONOFF Up=ON; Center=Hold; Down=OFF
- DE, TDE Disable, Toggle Disable
There is no change to the existing programmer report format except for the addition of the new
address types. The isolators use "ISO" as both the device and point type.

Continued

When installing 2-inch x 11 -inch motherboards in a 4100U/4100ES expansion bay, adhere to

the following guidelines:

Each expansion bay assembly includes a chassis, two end supports, one LED/switch frame,
and a power distribution interface (PDI) board.

An expansion bay holds up to eight 4-inch x 5-inch modules. A double-size module, such as
the expansion power supply (XPS), takes up two blocks of space as shown below.

Up to seven 2-inch x 11 -inch motherboards can be installed in an expansion bay if no 4inch x 5-inch modules are installed in the bay. Motherboards are mounted on top of the
PDI in expansion bays. The data and power that would normally be bussed via the PDI is
instead routed across the boards via ribbon cable from one board to the next.

As shown in the figure below, motherboards can be installed alongside 4-inch x 5-inch cards,
if necessary.

The leftmost slot must not contain a motherboard.

4-inch x 5-inch cards must be added from right to left.

Motherboards must be added from left to right.

Connecting the
733-525 Harness

If you need to connect a 733-525 Harness to a motherboard, refer to Figure 10 and follow these
steps. Make sure to route the power and communication wiring on the left side of the bay.
1.

Connect one end of the harness to a motherboard in an adjacent bay.

If the adjacent bay is a CPU bay with no additional motherboards, connect the harness to the
P8 and P7 connectors of the CPU motherboard.

Insert the harness connector with the blue wire into the P8 connector. Note that the P8
connector has eight pins. Insert the harness connector on either the top four pins or the
bottom four pins, not in the middle.

Insert the harness connector with the white wire into the P7 connector. Note that the P7
connector has eight pins. Insert the harness connector on either the top four pins or the
bottom four pins, not in the middle.

If the adjacent bay is an expansion bay or a CPU bay with additional motherboards, connect
the harness to the P2 and P3 connectors of the motherboard installed in the leftmost slot. (If a
4100/4120-0155 SDACT, 4100-6052 Event Reporting DACT, 4100-6053 Point Reporting
DACT, or a 4100/4120-0153 CCDACT occupies the leftmost slot, connect the harness to the
motherboard in the second slot from the left.) Connect the harness as follows:

2.

Insert the harness connector with the blue wire into the P2 connector. Note that the P2
connector has eight pins. Insert the harness connector on either the top four pins or the
bottom four pins, not in the middle.

Insert the harness connector with the white wire into the P3 connector. Note that the P3
connector has eight pins. Insert the harness connector on either the top four pins or the
bottom four pins, not in the middle.

Connect the other end of the harness to the leftmost motherboard in the next bay, as
described below. Make sure to route the wiring on the left side of the bay.

Insert the harness connector with the blue wire into the P2 connector. Note that the
P2 connector has eight pins. Insert the harness connector on either the top four pins
or the bottom four pins, not in the middle.

Insert the harness connector with the white wire into the P3 connector. Note that the
P3 connector has eight pins. Insert the harness connector on either the top four pins
or the bottom four pins, not in the middle.

Installing the Daughter Card

Installing the
Daughter Card

The daughter card inserts into the connector located in the center of the motherboard. The
connector is keyed so that the daughter card fits only one way. Before installing the card, examine
the slot in the motherboard and the fingers on the daughter card and note where the key is located.
Note:

The figure below is a general-purpose illustration that applies to all daughter cards.

Overview

General Guidelines

This section contains field wiring guidelines and instructions for the MAPNET II/IDNet isolator
module.

MAPNET II communication power: 40 V @ 0.5 Amp, 3333 bits per second.

IDNet II communication power: 35 V @ 0.5 Amp, 3333 bits per second.

Refer to instructions packaged with each addressable device for its wiring connections.

The Quad Isolator is not compatible with the IDNet Isolators model 4090-9116, 40989793.

Any wiring leaving the building requires overvoltage protectors 2081-9044 where it
leaves the building and another where it re-enters the building. Only four protectors total
are allowed per MAPNET II or IDNet channel.

If Class A wiring is not used, the 733-678 Harness remains installed. Leave the 733-678
Harness on all unused loops.

Up to 2 isolator boards per MAPNET II or IDNet channel are allowed.

Up to 43 Sounder Bases are allowed on a MAPNET II or IDNet channel, when used for
coded operation.

All wires must be 18 AWG (0.82 mm2) minimum, or as the local code dictates.

Conductors must test free of all grounds.

Power must come from a Simplex-approved power supply.

All wiring must be done using copper conductors only, unless noted otherwise.

If shielded wire is used,

-

the metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained throughout the entire cable
length.

the entire length of the cable must have a resistance greater than 1 Megohm to earth
ground.

Underground wiring must be free of all water.

In areas of high lightning activity, or in areas that have large power surges, the
2081-9027 Transient Suppressor should be used on monitor points.

Wires must not be run through elevator shafts.

Wires that run in plenum must be in conduit.

Splicing is permitted. All spliced connections must either be soldered (resin-core solder),
crimped in metal sleeves, or encapsulated with an epoxy resin. When soldering or
crimped metal sleeves are used, the junction must be insulated with a high-grade
electrical tape that is as sound as the original insulating jacket. Shield continuity must be
maintained throughout.

A system ground must be provided for earth detection and lightning protection devices.
This connection must comply with approved earth detection per NFPA780.

Only system wiring can be run together in the same conduit.

Power-Limited
Guidelines

Non-power limited field wiring (AC power, batteries, City connection) must be installed
and routed in the shaded areas shown in Figure 12.

Power-limited field wiring must be installed and routed in the non-shaded areas shown in
Figure 11, with the exception of City wiring.

Excess slack should be kept to a minimum inside the back box enclosure. The wiring
should be neatly dressed and bundled together using the wire ties provided with the
equipment. Anchor power-limited wiring to tie points, as shown in Figure 11.
