Simplex Fire Alarm System 4100U
Software, including programming, OS issues, etc. topic
Posted by ANA on 5 June, 2005 - 10:08 am
Can any one has an idea that Simplex provides (sell) programming software for there 4100U FACP or it is only exclusive for Simplex Distributers???

Simplex does not have distributors. They will sell the software if the customer agrees to sign off on liabilities. This makes the customer completely liable for the system. It's not recommended to do this, but it can be done.

Fire Alarm Sales Rep. for Simplex


Posted by Anonymous on 24 April, 2007 - 12:07 am
As a Simplex Tech. Rep. for many years, I can tell you that the customer should be able to have any other qualified company reprogram their panel, and I stress their panel. The program software should be available to any qualified technician whether they are a Simplex technician or not. I still work on all Simplex panels because my customers can’t wait weeks for a Simplex rep. I have over the years watched customers rip out a good Simplex panel 2 or 3 years old because the customer could not get it serviced in a timely fashion because of the proprietary software issue. It was stressed to me many times that we had to tell our customers they had to use a Simplex tech rep. to make program changes to their system. The statement that they should not have it programmed by another company is wrong. Sir, buy the software, get a qualified local technician and get the work done that way.

If you want a tech that is not factory certified programming on your 4100U you're nuts, Simplex panels are very complex. You're dealing with Life Safety.

Can you get your hands on programming software?

Depends on what version of software and if you have a "key" that goes into the printer port.
