Overview. The 4007ES provides an IDNet+ addressable 
initiating device Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) that supervises 
wiring connections and the individual device communications 
status on the SLC. With 2-wire IDNet+ SLCs, initiation, 
monitoring, and control devices such as manual fire alarm 
stations, TrueAlarm sensors, control relays, and sprinkler 
waterflow switches can communicate their identity and status 
and receive fire alarm system control. Additional addressable 
interface modules include circuit isolators, conventional IDC 
zone adapters, and interface to other system circuits such as 
fans, dampers, and elevator controls. 
IDNet+ Addressable Device Operation 
 
Each addressable device on the IDNet+ 
communication channel is continuously interrogated for 
status condition such as: normal, off-normal, alarm, 
supervisory, or trouble. Both Class B and Class A operation 
is available. Sophisticated poll and response 
communication techniques ensure supervision integrity and 
allow for "T-tapping" of the circuits for Class B operation. 
Devices with LEDs pulse the LED to indicate receipt of a 
communications poll and can be turned on steady from the 
panel. With addressable devices, the location and status of 
the connected device is monitored, logged, and displayed 
on the operator interface LCD with each device having its 
own 40 character custom label for precise identification.  
TrueAlarm Addressable Sensor Operation 
 
Addressable initiating device communications 
include operation of TrueAlarm smoke and temperature 
sensors. Smoke sensors transmit an output value based on 
their smoke chamber condition and the CPU maintains a 
current value, peak value, and an average value for each 
sensor. Status is determined by comparing the current sensor 
value to its average value. Tracking this average value as a 
continuously shifting reference point filters out 
environmental factors that cause shifts in sensitivity.

Sensor in CO Base
 
Programmable sensitivity of each sensor can be selected 
at the control panel for different levels of smoke obscuration 
(shown directly in percent) or for specific heat detection 
levels. To evaluate whether the sensitivity should be revised, 
the peak value is stored in memory and can be easily read 
(or downloaded as a report) and compared to the alarm 
threshold directly in percent.  
CO sensor bases combine an electrolytic CO sensing 
module with a TrueAlarm analog sensor to provide a single 
multiple sensing assembly using one system address. The 
CO sensor can be enabled/disabled, and can be used in 
LED/Switch modes and custom control. (refer to data sheet 
S4098-0052 for details) 
TrueAlarm heat sensors can be selected for fixed 
temperature detection, with or without rate-of-rise detection. 
Utility temperature sensing is also available, typically to 
provide freeze warnings or alert to HVAC system problems. 
Readings can selected as either Fahrenheit or Celsius. 
TrueSense Early Fire Detection. Multi-sensor 
4098-9754 provides photoelectric and heat sensor data 
using a single 40070ES IDNet+ address. The panel 
evaluates smoke activity, heat activity, and their 
combination, to provide TrueSense early detection. For 
more details on this operation, refer to data sheet 
S4098-0024. 
Diagnostics and Default Device Type 
 
Sensor Status. TrueAlarm operation allows the control 
panel to automatically indicate when a sensor is almost 
dirty, dirty, and excessively dirty. The NFPA 72 
requirement for a test of the sensitivity range of the 
sensors is fulfilled by the ability of TrueAlarm operation 
to maintain the sensitivity level of each sensor. CO 
Sensors track their 10 year active life status providing 
indicators to assist with service planning. Indicators occur 
at: 1 year, 6 months, and end of life. 
Modular TrueAlarm sensors use the same base and 
different sensor types (smoke or heat sensor) and can be 
easily interchanged to meet specific location requirements. 
This allows intentional sensor substitution during building 
construction when conditions are temporarily dusty. 
Instead of covering smoke sensors (causing them to be 
disabled), heat sensors may be installed without 
reprogramming the control panel. The control panel will 
indicate an incorrect sensor type, but the heat sensor will 
operate at a default sensitivity to provide heat detection 
for building protection at that location.
