Simplex 4100U Application Guide

4-5
The figure below shows an application diagram for a four-story building. This figure illustrates
how the elements of the Smoke Control System are architecturally related, how they fit within the
overall Simplex Fire Alarm System, and how they relate to the building air handling systems.
