Mounting and Wiring Peripheral Devices

The Simplex 4009 IDNet NAC Extender is a self-contained adjunct panel designed for use with Simplex Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs). It functions as an end-of-line device, connecting to a compatible notification appliance circuit from the host panel. Its primary role is to provide additional signaling power and extend alarm capabilities to notification appliances.

Function Description:

The base version of the 4009 IDNet NAC Extender (4009 IDNet) is a single-board system comprising four Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs), a power supply and charger, an IDNet slave interface, and two conventional NAC inputs for hardwired control (though these inputs are not used when configured as an IDNet device). It delivers eight amperes of DC signaling power to either four or eight supervised reverse-polarity NACs, configurable as Style Y or Style Z. When the host panel signals an alarm, the 4009 IDNet activates its NACs to extend the alarm.

A key advantage of the 4009 IDNet is its ability to minimize transmission line losses. By locating the power supply and batteries for notification appliances closer to the actual appliances, it conserves system power and battery capacity, especially over long distances within buildings.

The 4009 IDNet can operate in two primary modes:

Hardwired Control: In this mode, the 4009 IDNet is non-addressable and controlled via two DIP switches (Hardware Configuration Switch SW1 and Software Address/Configuration Switch SW2). Its two hardwired NAC control inputs simulate typical hardwired notification appliances as seen by the host panel. Faults on the 4009 Addressable NAC system or any outputs controlled by Input 1 cause an open condition on the host NAC connected to Input 1. Similarly, faults on outputs controlled by Input 2 are reflected on the host panel's NAC. A power loss at the 4009 IDNet causes Input 1 to indicate a fault (open). Inputs 1 and 2 can be configured as either End-of-Line (EOL) devices or appliances on the host NAC. Up to four 4009 IDNet NAC Extenders can be connected to the FACP(s) NAC in this mode.
Addressable IDNet (IDNet Control): When configured as an IDNet peripheral, the 4009 IDNet is addressable, with its address set via DIP switches SW1 and SW2. In this mode, the NACs connected to the 4009 IDNet are controlled and configured by the 4010 FACP. The 4009 IDNet monitors each output NAC, and any troubles (including NAC supervision, power, battery integrity, and earth faults) are communicated to the host panel 4010 FACP as IDNet messages.

Important Technical Specifications:

NAC Outputs: The system board provides 4 hardwired NACs (1-4), which are Class B, reverse polarity Notification Appliance Circuits. Each circuit has one polarity for supervision and the opposite for alarm. Field wiring terminations support 12 AWG - 18 AWG wire. Each circuit can be independently controlled by the 4009 IDNet.
Supervision: Notification circuits use a 10k end-of-line resistor for supervision. They are monitored for short and open circuit line faults in standby. A short circuit prevents NAC activation. During coded signal operation, the 4009 IDNet checks for shorts during each "off" cycle and holds the circuit off if detected. Faults are reported to the host panel via the command channel (IDNet or hardwired) and indicated by a blinking trouble LED.
Class A Configuration: NACs can be configured as Class A circuits with the addition of an option card, which also provides the necessary field wiring terminations. The 4009 IDNet monitors for the presence of this card, and its configuration must match the Hardware Configuration Switch (SW1) setting.
Earth Fault Isolation: When configured as an IDNet peripheral, each NAC can disconnect its supervision under software control for earth fault isolation, also performed automatically during power-up.
Battery Charger: Charges lead-acid batteries up to 18AH. Supervises for low/missing and depleted batteries. Output remains disabled until a battery is sensed.
Battery Cutout Module (Canadian Version): Disconnects batteries if terminal voltage drops below 19.3VDC during standby. Connection is restored upon AC power resumption.
Power Requirements:
- Model 4009-9201 NAC (120VAC System): AC Input - 120VAC, 3 amperes, 60Hz; Battery Input - 24VDC, 8 amperes; Notification Appliance Power Output - 24VDC, 8 amperes.
- Model 4009-9301 NAC (220/240 System): AC Input - 220/240VAC, 1.5 amperes, 50/60Hz; Battery Input - 24VDC, 8 amperes; Notification Appliance Power Output - 24VDC, 8 amperes.
Wiring: All wiring, except incoming power and ground, must be free from grounds or shorts (resistance of one megohm or higher to EARTH). All wires must be copper conductors only (except fiber cables). Installation must comply with manufacturer recommendations, AHJ specifications, and NFPA 70. Shielded wire must maintain metallic continuity and be insulated throughout its length, with a resistance of one megohm to earth. Splicing is permitted with UL listed devices. An appropriate system ground is required for earth detection and lighting protection per NFPA 70. System wiring (dedicated NAC, IDNet, 24V AUX, and four NAC circuits) can be run in the same conduit. Input power and external battery power are Non-Power-limited and cannot be run with Power-Limited system wiring.

Usage Features:

Hardware Configuration Switch (SW1): An 8-position DIP switch used to configure the hardware present and supervised by the 4009 IDNet. Settings must match installed hardware. Position 8 controls whether commands are received from control inputs ("ON") or the IDNet channel ("OFF").
Software Address/Configuration DIP Switch (SW2): An 8-position DIP switch located at the top edge of the system board. In addressable IDNet mode, it sets the IDNet address (1-250) for the 4009 IDNet. In conventional 4009 mode, it configures the operation of the output NACs based on the state of the two NAC control inputs.
NAC Status Indicators (LEDs 1-4): Yellow LEDs indicating trouble or active state of each NAC.
- "ON" = IN ALARM
- "OFF" = IN SUPERVISORY (OK)
- "SLOW FLASH" (1 flash/sec) = SHORT
- "FAST FLASH" (2 flashes/sec) = OPEN
System Trouble Indicators (LEDs 5-8): A bank of four yellow LEDs signifying various trouble conditions within the 4009 IDNet system. Only one trouble is indicated at a time, with the highest trouble state shown first.
AC Power Indicator (LED 9): A green LED indicating AC power presence. If "OFF," the unit is running on batteries.
Optional Add-on Cards:
- 4009-9808 Class A Adapter Option Card: Provides Class A/Style Z functionality on two NACs.
- 4009-9807 NAC Option Card: Adds four conventional Notification Appliance Circuits (rated at 1.5 amps) to the base configuration.
- 4009-9809 IDNet Repeater Option Card: Regenerates and boosts the IDNet channel's power and distance. Used in IDNet mode only.
- 4009-9810 (Class B)/4009-9811 (Class A) Fiber Optic Receiver: Receives IDNet communication over a fiber optic channel and regenerates the IDNet signal. Used with a Fiber Optic Transmitter to form an IDNet fiber link, allowing remote buildings (within 3,000ft) to connect to the IDNet channel while minimizing electrical transients.
