Interesting display. I also found nothing in the datasheets. I grabbed the picture so I can email it to some people I know at the office where I worked. We used to meet for lunch most weeks but Coronavirus ended that for the foreseeable future. Let you know if I find out anything.

Honestly I don’t browse the Simplex website as much as I used to, and I was surprised that I even caught that. I am favor of the idea that the 4100ES should have an enhanced display as a base package simply based on the fact that it is the premium panel offering from JCI. Its point capacity alone warrants it in my opinion. I haven’t heard anything about them upgrading their panels or displays at all. The company that I work for installs Notifier, and they are supposed to have a new platform out very soon that is based on the new NCD touchscreen display, but I bet this virus situation has delayed that, and then on top of that Notifier is slow to release things anyway so who knows how long before that is actually released. I will say, as a tech who has never really messed with Simplex, I very much like their technology and do wish Honeywell would follow suit, especially with regard to addressable notification. We have just installed an NCD, and despite the fact that it is a nice interface, I do have some reservations with respect to what it actually does vs what it actually could do functionally.
