Simplex TrueAlert 4009 Series - User Manual

Use for installed system expansion applications:
 Refer to page 7 for appliance compatibility details
 For new addressable notification fire alarm control panel
applications, refer to data sheet S4100-0100
TrueAlert Addressable Operation Features
Each individually addressed notification appliance
receives power and control over a single wire pair
providing:
 Supervised wiring connections to each appliance that
support using “T-tapped” wiring for Class B circuits
(Class A circuits require in/out wiring)
 Horns sounding with selectable high or low output, as
Temporal 3 or March Time pattern (60 or 120 bpm), or
Steady On, controlled separately from visible appliances
on the same two-wire circuit
 Visible appliances operating synchronized at 1 Hz
 Control over power limited, isolated output Signaling
Line Circuits (SLCs) with up to 63 addressable
appliances per SLC, and up to 189 appliances per control
source (refer to page 7 for detailed SLC ratings)
 Control sources selectable to provide individual appliance
magnetic test mode and appliance LED polling indicator
 4100ES, 4100U and 4010ES systems also provide
additional control capabilities using Virtual NAC
(VNAC) appliance groupings across SLCs and across
control sources
Class B, “T-tapped” wiring advantages:
 Less wiring distance is required since traditional
end-of-line Class B wiring supervision is not needed
 With less wiring distance required, voltage drops can be
reduced, allowing more appliances per wire run
UL listed to Standard 864*
