The 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller can be used with addressable IDNet or RUI systems.
It can also be used with hardwired FACPs. This section discusses these general uses.
The TrueAlert Addressable Controller is addressable when configured as an IDNet or RUI
peripheral. In the IDNet or RUI modes, SW5 (see Figure 1-2) sets the address of the Addressable
Controller which is controlled and configured by the 4010 FACP (for IDNet) or the 4100/4020
(for RUI). The Addressable Controller monitors each SLC. If a trouble occurs, faults (including
appliance supervision, power, battery integrity, and earth) are communicated to the host panel as
IDNet or RUI messages.
When wired to a 4100U, visual synchronization is possible. A maximum of 39 multicandela
addressable visuals may be synchronized per SLC. All SLCs are synchronized across a 4009T. All
4009Ts are synchronized across the 4100U.
There are two hardwired NAC control inputs on the Addressable Controller which can be used to
activate the appliances connected to the Addressable Controller. The hardwired NAC control
inputs provide backward compatibility with other Simplex panels. In the hardwired mode, the
configuration of the Addressable Controller is configured via two DIP switches (Hardware
Configuration Switch (SW4) and Address/Software Configuration Switch (SW5)). Each input
(called Hardwire Control Channel 1 and Channel 2, respectively, on TB7) simulates a typical
hardwired notification appliance, as seen from the host panel. The host NAC that is connected to
Channel 1 sends general trouble messages to the host panel, while the NAC connected to Channel
2 sends SLC channel-related messages to the host panel.
An End Of Line Resistor (EOLR) may be directly connected to the hardwire control Channel 1
and 2 terminals, or NAC wiring can be continued on to the next termination point for that circuit.
See Field Wiring Diagram 842-158 for details. A maximum of four TrueAlert Addressable
Controllers can be attached to the Hardwire Control Channel 1 and Channel 2 inputs.
