Simplex 4100U Application Guide

5-1
This chapter provides examples of Simplex Smoke Control System programs. These programs are
presented to illustrate what can be accomplished with this system. Since every system is unique,
your programs will not be identical to these programs. Instead, use these programs as templates
when programming the system.
Keep in mind the following smoke control objectives when programming the system:
• Maintain safe fire-free and smoke-free routes to allow sufficient time for the occupants to exit
the premises or move to designated safe refuge areas.
• Provide a relatively clear approach to the fire area by firefighters so that the fire (the source of
the smoke) can be contained and extinguished as fast as possible.
• If designated safe refuge areas are a part of the life safety design, then the control system must
prevent smoke migration into such areas for a prolonged period of time.
• Reduce the amount of fire and smoke damage to the property.
