This publication describes the installation and operation of the Simplex 4100-9808 (4100/4120
back boxes) and 4100-9816 (4100U/4100ES back boxes) Master Clock Interface Kit.
The Master Clock Interface Kit allows a 4100, 4100U, 4100ES or 4120 FACP to accept time/date
information from an external master clock. Time/date information is displayed on the control
panel LCD and used to stamp events in historical logs. To ensure reliable tracking, the fire alarm
time/date is synchronized to the master clock once every five minutes. In most cases, accuracy
within one second is achieved.
Supported master clocks include: Simplex 6400, Hopf-6870, and RS-Dataclock.

Overview
Master Clock
Interface Slave
Module
The Master Clock Interface Board is a 4100 Slave card containing the two RS-232 ports described
below.
Port A. This port can be used to connect the following equipment to the 4100 FACP.
2120 system. When Port A is configured for 2120 communications (DC or RS-232), the
4100 is a transponder to the 2120 BMUX.
Refer to the 4100 Field Wiring Diagrams 841-731 and 841-995 for more information on setting up
an RS-232 port.
Connections to the ports are either through the Motherboard (connectors TB1 and TB2) or
connectors P2 for Port B and connector P3 for Port A. The connectors P2 and P3 are 25-pin RS232 connectors.
General Guidelines
and Restrictions
The Master Clock Interface uses a computer port type. See the 4100 Programming Instructions
Ver. 8.01 (574-102) for a definition of port types.
The Master Clock Interface requires a 4100 card address between 1 and 63.
The 4100-9808 Master Clock Interface requires Extended BCD format when used with a 6400
Time Control Center. This format is incompatible with digital clocks. An additional BCD
converter would be required to supply standard BCD format to the digital clocks in the system.

Master Controller
Bay
Use the following guidelines and instruction when installing into a master controller bay.
If the 575-274 Master Motherboard is used, it must be installed in the leftmost position of
this bay. If the 575-274 Master Motherboard is not used, the CPU motherboard must be
installed in the leftmost position of the bay.
The power supply must be installed in the rightmost position of the bay.
Relay cards must be installed in the slots immediately to the left of the power supply.
This is necessary to allow for the proper routing of non-power limited wiring (120 VAC
wiring connected to the relay card).
If used, the Class B motherboard (575-275) must be installed to the left of the relay cards.
If a physical bridge is used with the Class B motherboard, it must be to the right of any
motherboards using NICs. This allows for earth ground detection via the physical bridge.
Orient the motherboard so that the connector labeled J1 is on the right and the header
labeled P1 is on the left.

Slide the motherboard you are installing to the left until the pins are completely inserted
in the connector of a previously installed motherboard.

Expansion Bay
Review the following guidelines before mounting the motherboard into a 2975-91xx Expansion
Bay.
If a power supply is installed in the bay, it must be installed on the far right of the bay
and any relay modules must be installed in the slots immediately to its left.
Relay cards must be installed in the rightmost possible slots. This is necessary to allow
for the proper routing of non-power limited wiring (typically 120 VAC wiring), which
could be connected to a relay module.
Use the following directions and Figure 3 to install a motherboard into an expansion bay.
1.
Orient the motherboard with the connector labeled J1 on the right and the header labeled
P1 on the left.
2.
Match the connector on the previously installed motherboard with the pins on the
motherboard you are installing. Slide the motherboard to the left until the pins are
completely inserted in the connector of the previously installed motherboard. If you are
installing the leftmost board, the pins will remain unconnected.

Field Wiring
connections
Refer to Field Wiring Diagrams 841-731 and 841-995 for information on connecting 2120 or
RS-232 devices to Port A of the Master Clock Interface.
The Master Clock Interface kit comes with a cable (733-572) for connecting the motherboard to
the 6400 BCD Code converter. One end of this cable includes a DB-25 connecter, and the other
end has four wires (flying leads). This connection is supervised. A fault is indicated if
communication is not established.
Connect this cable as follows
DB-25 Connector. Connect this end of the cable to the BCD code converter.
Flying Leads. Connect these wires to Port B on the 4100/4120 motherboard as shown in
Figure 10. Transmit data, receive data, and ground are the only connections required. Note
that additional lengths of wire can be connected to these leads if the cable length needs to be
extended. The white wire is not used and must be cut and taped.

Programming Information
Programming
Information
The Master Clock Interface Kit is based upon the 4100-0113 Dual RS-232 Module. The firmware
has been modified to perform the Master Clock Interface function on Port B. From the master
controllers perspective, the new assembly functions in the same way as the RS-232 Slave.
For an application that requires Master Clock Interface, use the 4100 Programming Unit to add a
conventional 4100-0113 RS-232 Slave card. The address must be between 1 and 63. Edit the card
to configure Port B as a computer port. Use the appropriate baud rate and protocol settings for the
master clock selected. See the Configuring the Master Clock section of this publication.
Configure the terminal flags for Port B as follows:
NOPROTOCOL
NOLOGGING
ADDRESS
NOAPREFIX
SUPV
NOPOLL
NOLF
NOECHO
NOSTATUS
NOBPREFIX
NOBELLS
NOHSHAKE
ATTRIB
All event reporting should be disabled on Port B to prevent irrelevant message traffic from being
sent to the Master Clock Interface.
Note:
The default access level for Port B should be set to Level 3 and individual access level for the
Change Time function should be Level 1.
IMPORTANT: In order to prevent the historical logs from being filled with time
update entries, a new pseudo point was introduced in 4100 Master Controller
Version 8.04 (and later). It is required that this master revision be used in
conjunction with the Master Clock Interface. Custom control should be written to
turn on P228 during system start-up.
