The Alarm Relay Card is typically used to provide a Brigade Interface. The default
configuration is for the three relays to operate on Fault (Trouble), Isolate (Supervisory)
and Alarm, respectively.
These relays are normally de-energised and energise on the respective status. They have
voltage-free contacts that are connected to two terminals and can be configured as
normally open or normally closed by the positioning of links. Refer to the previous
section for details.
If a normally energized relay is required to provide activation on complete loss of system
power (Standby), the Aux Relay on the SPS can be programmed as normally on and its
contacts connected in series/parallel with the contacts of the Fault (Trouble) relay as is
applicable, i.e., series for normally closed, parallel for normally open. Where the Brigade
interface is powered from the 4100U-S1 and monitored by the central station, this is not
typically required.
Note that if the Aux relay is programmed as normally energised, de-energising on Fault, it
cannot be used to replace the Fault relay on the Alarm Relay Card as the latter is link
connected to a hardware signal of “SPS CPU Fault”, and signals “Fault” when the SPS
loses communications with the CPU.
The 4100U-S1 has specific mounting doors for several types of signaling device. These
must be obtained separately.

Both types of brigade doors mount in the 4 unit space at the bottom of the 4100U-S1
cabinet, using 4 x M6 screws, washers and cage nuts. Cage nuts should already be fitted
to the 4100U-S1 and screws supplied with it, but there are spare screws, washers and cage
nuts supplied with each kit in case the others have been lost.
