Multi-loop operation features

Improved survivability

• Individual network loops operate independently.

• In the event of loss of one or more loops, the remaining loops continue to operate.
Loop independence

• You can add new loops without impacting existing loops.

Assists with phased-in system expansion

• You can install each loop as a stand-alone network, so that local node programming can evolve as required.
• When construction or renovation reaches completion, you can combine loops for coordinated facility protection .

Multi-Loop requirements

• Each loop requires a dedicated network interface card (NIC).

• Supports a maximum of up to seven network loops in any combination of ES Net and 4120 network loops.

TrueSite Workstation operation

Figure 3: TrueSite Workstation sample alarm lists screen

Operation
When fire alarm network status changes occur, the screen displays the type and location of the alarm, or other activity, and the appropriate header
buttons appear. In the historical log screen in Figure 3, the Fire, Priority 2, Supervisory, and Trouble buttons appear with an active Trouble indicated.

Sample screens
Figure 3 shows the details of the historical log screen. You can configure screen choices in accordance with your system preference. When operators
use multiple optional monitors, they can view multiple windows simultaneously for convenience.

Ease of operation
With touchscreen monitors, the operator touches the screen area that is in alarm, or uses the mouse, to access a more detailed view of the alarmed
zone or device. With the proper password access, the operator can acknowledge alarm and trouble conditions, activate signal silence, and perform a
system reset directly from the workstation screens.

Programmable activity timeout

With programmable activity timeout, an unattended monitor reverts to the log on screen when the configured time period expires.

Individual user preferences

The individual user preferences in the following table appear when the user logs on.
Table 3: Individual user preferences
Preference category Options
Font size Default or large
Toolbar size Small or large
Interface theme MS Office 2003 or system theme
Floating window options Select to show Menu bar or show Tool bar

Historical log and list details

The display format is similar to the display for active list items such as the alarm list, see Figure 3. You can sort the displayed information on-screen
by each category shown. For example, number, time, date, and point name. You can review list information on the screen, print it at a local or remote
system printer, or write to an electronic file for compatibility with spreadsheet and database programs.

Customized response
You can add custom alarm and trouble messages and edit them in the field to provide operator response assistance. You can select point-specific
information, such as hazardous material storage and lists of people to notify, to display automatically or selectively.

Graphics screens
Site and floor plan details
You can use the graphics screens to view site plan and floor plan information. You can customize the level of detail for the specific facility to accurately
direct the operator to the immediate area of interest.

Page 5 S4190-0016 Rev. 51 02/2023

 TrueSite Workstations: Version 6.03

Graphic screen controls

The graphics portion of the screen is shown as a main screen but you can set it to float and move the graphics portion to another monitor. You can
add icons to identify the location and type of the device of interest, and use the graphics control toolbar, located at the top of the graphic, to pan and
zoom for more precise detail. You can add programmable coverage zones with selectable area and zoom level. You can add a fixed area site plan or
key plan, with action buttons and a screen locator as in Figure 4. A green rectangle in the key plan tracks pan and zoom.
Custom banner and main screen background
You can customize the banner area shown with a Simplex logo. The bitmap area is 2250 pixels x 68 pixels. You can customize the main screen
background, that is viewable before you log on, with a bitmap file of up to 1000 pixels x 525 pixels.

Action messages
In addition to screen text or graphic information, the operator can recieve specific action messages that provide emergency response information and
directions. You can easily edit these action messages in the field for local requirements. The appropriate action message in the screen shown in Figure
4 would appear in the acknowledge dialog box.

Auto-jump to graphics or alarm list

Select whether an activity causes a jump to a list format or to the associated graphic screen.

Supported graphics formats

• DWG import formats: AutoCAD R9, 10, 11-12, 13, 14, 2000-2002, 2004-2006, 2007-2009, 2010-2011

Note: Simplex 4190 series computers are agency-listed for use with TrueSite Workstation software. For applications where agency listings are
not required, TrueSite Workstation software should be compatible with most computers with the stated minimum specifications. However, due to
computer manufacturers potentially using unique or proprietary drivers, hardware, or other software not tested with TrueSite Workstation software,
there may be incompatibilities. If you use other computers, proper operation with TrueSite Workstation software may require technical adjustments by
a qualified computer technician and would be the sole responsibility of the computer supplier and computer manufacturer.

General system listings reference

The following functions are agency-listed with the computers and monitors identified in Product selection:
• TrueSite workstation PCs, whether stand-alone or functioning as a server to remote clients.
• Supervised remote clients with protected features that are connected to the server using a dedicated Fire Alarm Network.
• Refer to datasheet Fire Alarm Network Annunciators; Fire Alarm Ethernet Switches (S4190-0018) for details about Fire Alarm Network Ethernet
Switches.

Additional agency listings reference

You can use a facility LAN to connect restricted feature remote clients software on compatible computers, listed for standard office use. This provides
only annunciation features and does not impact the system listing.

Fire smoke control station reference

The TrueSite Workstation operates as a UL 2572 listed fire smoke control station (FSCS) when configured in accordance with the following
specifications:
• Select model 4190-8401. Note: You cannot use this for Supervising Station or Security Monitor Applications.
• Provide an audio system microphone mounted adjacent to the TrueSite Workstation, either located within a 4100ES or 4100U Fire Alarm Control Unit
or Remote Annunciator Panel, or use a Remote Microphone Assembly.
• The 4100ES/4100U microphone options are model 4100-1243 for fire alarm control units and model 4100-1244 for remote annunciator control
units. Refer to 4100ES Addressable Fire Detection and Control Emergency Voice/Alarm Communications Equipment (S4100-0034) for details.
• Remote microphone assembly model 4003-9803 mounts separate from the control unit. Refer to datasheet Microphone Multiplex Module Model
4100-1274 (S4100-0053) for details.
Note: You must connect at least two monitors to provide the necessary display information, see the following exception. One monitor is required to
display the speaker zone status and the other monitor is required to display the event screen.
Exception: If a 4100ES/4100U Network Display Unit (NDU) is mounted adjacent to the TrueSite Workstation for network audio control with
microphone access, a second monitor may not be necessary if the audio control status is viewable. Review the application with the local authority
having jurisdiction (AHJ).
