Note: * Some applications may require shielded wiring. Review your system with your local Simplex product supplier.
TrueAlarm analog sensors provide an analog measurement that is digitally communicated to the host control panel using Simplex addressable communications.
At the control panel, the data is analyzed and an average value is determined and stored. An alarm or other abnormal condition is determined by comparing the sensor’s present value against its average value and time.
TrueAlarm multi-sensor model 4098-9754 combines the established performances of a TrueAlarm photoelectric smoke sensor with a fast-acting and accurate TrueAlarm thermal sensor to provide both features in a single sensor/base assembly.

TrueAlarm sensor bases contain integral addressable electronics that constantly monitor the status of the detachable photoelectric, ionization, or heat sensors. Each sensor’s output is digitized and transmitted to the system fire alarm control panel every four seconds. Since TrueAlarm sensors use the same base, different sensor types can be easily interchanged to meet specific location requirements
This feature also allows intentional sensor substitution during building construction. When conditions are temporarily dusty, instead of covering the smoke sensors (causing them to be disabled), heat sensors may be installed without reprogramming the control panel. Although the control panel will indicate an incorrect sensor type, the heat sensor will operate at a default sensitivity providing heat detection for building protection at that location.

Convenient installation and alignment
Simplex addressable beam smoke detector includes the proven FireRay 5000 system features, of auto-aligning infrared beam smoke detection combined with IDNet addressable communications. If the detector head is installed using the easyfit mounting system, an integral laser can be activated that aligns along the optical path of the infrared beam. Positioning the reflective prism is quick and accurate using the Auto-Align beam alignment feature.
AutoOptimise Beam Alignment
The AutoOptimise beam alignment system automatically directs and maintains the beam in the optimum position for reliable performance. The transmitter element generates the signal, the prism reflects it back to the receiver element, and then it is analyzed for the presence of smoke. The beam control station flags an alarm condition if it reaches the predetermined level. Alarm threshold levels are set using the host FACU. Time to Fire and Time to Fault are set using the beam control station.
Mounting reference
The maximum distance of the detector and the reflector from the ceiling must be 10% of the distance between the floor and ceiling. Lateral detection may be up to 30 ft (9.144 m) on either side of the beam, providing a maximum total coverage area of up to 19,800 square feet, 60 ft x 330 ft (18.29 m x 100 m). Refer to the installation instructions supplied with the product and to NFPA 72 (National Fire and Signaling Code) for additional installation guidance.
Communications to the host control panel
To investigate the beam heads remotely, the host FACU receives status and numerical information from the beam controller. The beam controller receives commands and the Smoke and Almost Dirty threshold levels are set using the host FACU.
Numerical information received
Numerical information received includes Signal Strength in percent, to compare to alarm threshold level set by host FACU and Compensation Level, an indication of beam status and dirt accumulation.
Application note
Reflective beam smoke detectors may not be suitable for areas with highly reflective surfaces. Separate transmitter or receiver models may be required. Refer to NFPA 72 and contact your Simplex product representative for additional applications guidance.

Simplex duct detectors can quickly sense when smoke is traveling through ducts and enable HVAC airflow to be shut down or redirected to contain smoke dispersion.
IDNet Relay IAMs allow fire alarm control panels to control a remotely located Form “C” contact using IDNet addressable communications for both data and module power. Typical applications would be for switching local power for control functions such as elevator capture, or control of HVAC components, pressurization fans, dampers, etc. Relay status is also communicated requiring only one device address.

Individual addressable modules (IAMs) receive both power and communications from a two-wire MAPNET II or IDNet circuit. They provide location specific addressability to a single initiating device (such as single station smoke detector alarm contacts or heat detector contacts) or multiple devices at the same location by monitoring normally open dry contacts and the wiring to an end-of-line resistor. Model 4090-9001 is packaged in a thermoplastic housing and provides screw terminal connections and a status indicating LED.

The TrueAlarm detector base contains integral addressable electronics that constantly monitors the status of the detachable detector. Detector types can be easily interchanged to meet specific location requirements, for example during building construction or maintenance. The device address is contained in the base, so the address remains with its programmed location when the detector is removed for service. An integral red LED indicates power-on by pulsing, or alarm or fault when steady on.
The Simplex 4098-9794 is a modular TrueAlarm sensor base with built-in electronic alarm sounder. The Piezoelectric sounder provides high output (88 dBA) with low current requirements (20 mA) and is interchangeable with TrueAlarm sensors; photoelectric, heat or ionization (ordered separately). The 4098-9794 sounder bases are for use with Simplex® control panels model 4010, 4020, 4100, 4100U, 4120, and Universal Transponders.
