Simplex 4100-6038 is the dual RS-232/2120 interface module for 4100U and 4100ES systems, used in panels with 2975-94xx back boxes. It connects the fire alarm panel to a Simplex 2120 system, or to equipment with a standard RS-232 interface.
Through the module the panel can link to a 2120 FACP over an 18 AWG hardwired connection of up to 10,000 feet or over FSK-type modems, and can drive an AC or DC printer, CRT, third-party computer or GCC. The 4100/4120-0113 is the equivalent module for older 4100 systems with 2975-91xx back boxes.
