Model 4005 Fire Alarm Control Panel 
 
 
Introduction 
 
For areas requiring eight to thirty-six IDC zones, Simplex 
4005 series fire alarm control panels provide flexible 
initiating circuit monitoring, extensive programmable 
control capability, and LCD annunciated circuit-specific 
custom labels. Surface mount components, efficient 
microprocessor programming, and easy-to-use control 
panel operation combine to provide an extensive feature 
list in a compact, “installation friendly” package. 
Panel status and circuit information is efficiently 
indicated by an alphanumeric LCD readout featuring two 
lines of 40 characters each. The panel control switches are 
clearly marked for intuitive operation. Programming of 
the selectable features is performed by using the display 
and the panel control switches while in the programming 
mode. 
Applications 
 
The 4005 series fire alarm control panel provides 
protection for a wide variety of mid-size facilities in the 
following fields: Educational, Health Care, Business, 
Storage, Hospitality, Residential, and General Assembly. 
Its modular design allows IDCs and NACs to be 
incremented in groups of two or four to satisfy circuit 
requirements without specifying excess capacity. If the 
system expands, then additional “snap-in-place” modules 
can be easily installed on-site. 
 
** WALKTEST performance testing is protected under US Patent No. 4,725,818. 
†  NACs may be individually configured for dry contact relay operation. 
NOTE:  Contact your local Simplex product supplier for fire alarm control panels suitable for 
Release Control applications.
