Simplex 4906-9253 - User Manual

Features
Individually addressed and controlled
multi-candela S/V (speaker/visible) notification
appliances provide:
 Multi-candela xenon strobe with synchronized 1 Hz
flash rate and with intensity programmable from the
control panel or jumper selected as 15, 30, 75, or
110 cd
 Advanced addressable notification controlled by IDNAC
SLCs from Simplex
®
4100ES fire alarm control panels
with EPS/EPS+ power supplies (and 4009 IDNAC
Repeaters) providing regulated 29 VRMS allowing
strobes to operate with lower current even under battery
backup
 Wiring supervision to each strobe allowing “T-tapped”
connections for Class B circuits to simplify wiring
(Class A circuits require in/out wiring)
 TrueAlert Device Reports at the control panel detailing
appliance point ID, custom label, type, and candela
setting (see sample on page 2)
 Magnet test diagnostics to assist checkout and testing of
appliances and wiring
 Compatibility with ADA requirements; (refer to
important installation information on page 3)
 Compatibility with legacy TrueAlert addressable
systems for upgrade and replacement (see page 4)
 Strobe operation is listed to UL 1971 and ULC-S526*
LED indicator and magnet test feature:
 Appliance LED can be selected to display each polling
cycle to indicate appliance supervision
 In diagnostic mode, the magnet test pulses the LED to
indicate appliance address AND pulses to indicate the
intensity selection; a brief output of the strobe is also
selectable to confirm operation
Mechanical design features:
 Rugged, high impact, flame retardant thermoplastic
housings are available for wall or ceiling mount
 Wall mount housings are available in red or white
 Wall mount options include electrical box adapters,
separate covers to convert color, and red wire guards
 Ceiling mount housing is white
Audible notification appliance (speaker):
 High quality voice and tone reproduction with taps for
¼, ½, 1, or 2 W, at 25 or 70.7 VRMS
 Speakers have capacitor input for connection to DC
supervised NACs and are wired separately from strobes
 Listed to UL 1480 and ULC S541*
 Compliant with NFPA 72, 520 Hz Low Frequency
Signal Requirements for Sleeping Areas

Wall and Ceiling Mount S/Vs with Addressable Strobes
Description
Multi-Candela TrueAlert S/Vs with speaker and
addressable strobe provide convenient installation to
standard electrical boxes with extensions. The strobe is
individually addressed and individually controlled with
power, supervision, and control supplied from a Simplex
fire alarm control panel providing IDNAC Signaling Line
Circuits (SLCs). (See compatibility list on page 4.)
Speakers are wired separately.
Strobe Application Reference
Proper selection of visible notification is dependent on
occupancy, location, local codes, and proper applications
of: the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code
(NFPA 72), ANSI A117.1; the appropriate model
building code: BOCA, ICBO, or SBCCI; and the
application guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA).
IDNAC SLC Operation Advantage
TrueAlert S/V Appliances with Addressable
Strobes on IDNAC SLCs provide visible notification
using a single two-wire circuit that also confirms
connection to the individual notification appliance’s
electronic circuit. This operation increases circuit
supervision integrity by providing supervision that
extends beyond the appliance wiring connections.
