The 4010 is best used in small to medium size buildings up to 6 stories. Some
of the best uses for the 4010 are:
• K - 12 educational facilities
• Nursing homes and small hospitals
• Board and care facilities
• Inns, motels and small hotels
• Assisted living
• Apartments and condominiums
• Office buildings
• Strip malls
Even in these situations, however, job-specific details (a large number of fan
dampers, for example) combined with complex, job-specific application needs
may push the 4010 beyond its practical limits. Before beginning, therefore, it is
important to know the 4010’s Custom Control capacities, understand the
installation details of the facility, and understand the role of the 4010’s point
types and system options.
The 4010 programming capacities are as follows:
• Up to 75 User Pseudo Points (P76 – P150)
• Up to 25 User List Points (L26 – L50)
• Up to 60 Custom Control Equations (Phase 2 systems)
• Up to 40 Custom Control Equations (Phase 1 systems)
Judging whether the 4010 can meet the application requirements of a job
requires a detailed understanding of the facilities’ devices (both fire and utility),
as well as an understanding of exactly how the customer and the AHJ expect the
system to function.
In general, the following guidelines can help you determine whether the 4010
can handle the application-specific needs of a facility.
• Situations requiring extensive fan/damper control (i.e., multiple smoke
chambers and a very large number of dampers) are not good candidates for
the 4010.
The 4010 System Options, Point Types, and Modes provide default fire alarm
system operation for common fire alarm system applications without the need
for writing more complex Custom Control programming equations. Whenever
possible System Options, Point Types, and Modes should be used in lieu of
Custom Control to provide the required operation. Custom Control
programming is available to provide additional flexibility and to meet job-
specific requirements.
Refer to Appendix A for a summary of system options and point types.
