The 4098-9019 IDNet Addressable Beam Detector is a motorized infrared optical beam smoke detector system designed for integration with compatible Simplex Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs). This device is part of a comprehensive fire detection system, providing early warning of smoke presence in large open areas where traditional spot detectors might be less effective.
The 4098-9019 system operates by emitting an infrared beam across a protected area to a receiver. When smoke enters the path of this beam, it causes a reduction in the received signal strength, which the detector interprets as a smoke condition. The "motorized" aspect of the detector likely refers to an internal mechanism that assists with alignment or calibration, ensuring optimal performance and reducing the need for manual adjustments during installation or maintenance.
This addressable beam detector communicates with the FACP via an IDNet circuit, allowing for individual identification and monitoring of each detector within the system. This addressability enables precise location of a smoke event, facilitating quicker response and investigation. The system is designed to report various conditions to the FACP, including normal operation, fire alarms, supervisory conditions, and troubles, providing a comprehensive overview of its status.
The 4098-9019 system is compatible with a range of Simplex control panels, including 4100ES and 4010ES Control Panels (with specific firmware versions), 4007ES Control Panels (all revisions), and various System Power Supplies (SPS) and Main System Supplies (MSS) with their respective firmware. It also integrates with separate IDNet/IDNet+/IDNet 1+ modules and IDNet communications PCC Chips, ensuring broad compatibility within Simplex fire alarm systems.
The 4098-9019 Beam Detector system is designed for straightforward integration and operation within a Simplex fire alarm system. Each device requires two addresses for proper functioning: one for the device itself and its "first" head, and another for the "second" head reporting to the system. These addresses are set using an eight-position DIP switch located inside the detector's cover, with position 1 being the least significant bit (LSB) and position 8 the most significant bit (MSB). The addresses are assigned and managed through the ES Programmer software.
The device supports multiple point types, allowing for flexible configuration based on the specific detection needs of the area. Users can select:
Custom labels and alternate custom labels can be assigned to each device point through the ES Programmer, allowing for clear identification of the detector's function and location within the facility. This enhances situational awareness for operators responding to events. PNIS codes, primary action messages, and trouble action messages can also be configured, providing detailed information and predefined responses for various conditions.
From the FACP, operators can perform several key operations to manage and monitor the beam detector. These include acknowledging the device, disabling and enabling individual heads, and turning device LEDs on or off. The FACP also provides access to real-time status information such as signal strength percentage, compensation level, and smoke status (normal or fire).
The system allows for the editing of critical thresholds directly from the FACP. For instance, the "almost dirty threshold" can be adjusted to provide early warning of potential maintenance needs, and the "smoke threshold" can be set to fine-tune the detector's sensitivity to smoke. These adjustments ensure the detector operates optimally for the specific environment it protects.
The 4098-9019 Beam Detector includes several features designed to facilitate maintenance and ensure continuous reliable operation. The device provides clear visual indicators through two red LEDs, IDNET1 and IDNET2, located inside the detector's cover. IDNET1 corresponds to the first head (DET1) and illuminates to indicate a trouble or alarm on that channel. Similarly, IDNET2 corresponds to the second head (DET2) and indicates trouble or alarm on its channel. These LEDs provide quick local status checks, aiding technicians in diagnosing issues.
The system reports various trouble conditions to the FACP, enabling proactive maintenance. These include:
The FACP provides detailed information about these troubles, including "No Answer," "Bad Answer," "Wrong Device," "Disable Trouble," and "Manual Override Trouble" for IDNet-related issues. For beam detector-specific troubles, it reports "Device Communications Status," "Rapid Obscuration," "Summary Trouble," and "Excessively Dirty."
Operators can measure the signal strength and compensation level directly from the FACP, providing valuable data for assessing the detector's health and alignment. The ability to edit the "almost dirty threshold" and "smoke threshold" from the FACP allows for fine-tuning and adaptation to environmental changes, potentially extending the time between physical cleanings while maintaining detection integrity.
The "Install Mode" feature, accessible from the FACP, simplifies the process of adding new devices or re-commissioning existing ones. This mode likely assists with initial setup and verification, ensuring that the detector is properly recognized and integrated into the system.
For replacement parts, users are directed to contact their certified Simplex representative, ensuring that only genuine and compatible components are used for repairs, which is crucial for maintaining system integrity and compliance with safety standards. The comprehensive reporting and accessible diagnostic information provided by the 4098-9019 system significantly streamline maintenance efforts, contributing to the overall reliability and longevity of the fire alarm system.
