IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS
Alarm-Initiating Device: A device which, when actuated, initiates an alarm. Such devices, depending on their type,
can be operated manually or actuated automatically in response to smoke, flame, heat or water-flow. (Examples: pull
stations, heat detectors, smoke detectors, sprinkler flow switches, etc.)
Alarm-Notification Appliance: A device that produces an audible and/or visual alarm signal in response to a fire
emergency. (Examples: horns, bells, chimes, flashing lights, etc.)
Annunciator: An electrically operated visual signaling device having one or more lamps or LEDS to display the
status of the fire alarm system.
End-of-Line Device: A device used to terminate a supervised circuit.
Initiating-Device Circuit: A circuit to which automatic or manual initiating devices are connected.
Local Energy Master Box: A municipal master box that uses electrical energy from the protected premises to
energize its electromagnetic tripping mechanism. See definition for shunt master box.
Notification-Appliance Circuit: A circuit to which notification appliances are connected.
Shunt Master Box: A municipal master box that uses electrical energy from the municipal fire alarm system to
energize its electromagnetic tripping mechanism. See definition for local energy master box.
Zone: A designated area of a building. Commonly, zones within a building are annunciated to aid in locating a fire.
SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
The 4001-9403 and -9404 are four-zone, electrically supervised, fire alarm panels.
l
The 4007-9403 connects to a 12OVAC 60 Hz source.
l
The 4007-9404 connects to a 220/24OVAC, 50 Hz source.
Each system contains one notification appliance circuit, battery standby power, and battery charger.
The systems provide an early warning evacuation signal for building occupants if a fire occurs. The systems consist
of:
l
Alarm-initiating devices - Smoke detectors, heat detectors, pull stations, etc.
l
Alarm-notification appliances - Horns, bells, and visual units.
l
A control panel.
Each system may also contain optional features.
Since the -9403 and -9404 operate the same except for input power, we will discuss system operation as it applies
to the -9403.
Alarm-initiating devices are installed in the building and connected to one of four initiating-device circuits on the
control panel. Each initiating-device circuit is given a zone number (1, 2, 3, or 4). Thus, the various areas of the
building can be designated as zone 1, zone 2, zone 3, or zone 4. The control panel monitors each zone for troubles
and alarms.
1
Page 6
SYSTEM INTRODUCTION - Continued
Alarm-notification appliances are located throughout the building to provide acceptable sound levels. These
appliances are connected to a notification-appliance circuit on the control panel. The control panel activates the
notification appliances from a central location.
You operate the system using the LED indicators and switches on the control panel. When an alarm or trouble
condition exists, the panel LEDs indicate the location and type of condition.
l
Red LEDs indicate an alarm condition when on.
l
Amber LEDs indicate a trouble condition when on.
Switches allow you to interact with the system in various ways (see Operating Instructions on Page 23).
A diagram of a typical system is shown in Figure 1.

GENERAL NOTES
l
Notify appropriate personnel (building occupants, fire department or monitoring facility, etc.) of the installation.
l
When running wires to control panel, identify wires appropriately: 12OVAC input power, notification (signal) circuit,
zone 1, zone 2, etc., and identify all ‘I+” wires and ‘I-” wires.
l
The panel’s terminal boards are labeled with a TB number (TBI, TB2, TB3, etc.), and each terminal is designated
a terminal number (1, 2, 3, etc.). Therefore, TBl-1 is terminal 1 on terminal board TBl, TBl-2 is terminal 2 on
terminal board TBl, etc. Each terminal is also identified with an abbreviation of the circuit wire that is to be
connected to it (SIG -, SIG +, ZONl -, ZONl+, etc.).

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SYSTEM WIRING
These requirements are intended to aid the installer in making a safe and trouble-free installation, but they are not
intended to circumvent any pertaining and/or required codes, laws, regulations, etc.
Note: These wiring specifications are subject to local authority approval.
General Wiring Requirements For Fire Alarm Systems
1. All wires are to be copper conductors only.
2. All wiring, except incoming power and ground connecting wires, must be free from grounds or shorts and have
a resistance of one megohm, or higher, to earth.
3. Metallic conduit, metallic raceway, plastic pipe, or plastic raceways may be used.
If metallic conduit is used, the following must be observed: If the continuity of the metallic conduit is not
maintained, then a 12AWG (minimum) drain wire must be used between the break of metallic conduit. The drain
wire will be connected to the metallic conduit at both ends.
4. Only system wiring can be run in the same conduit, pipe raceway, or multiconductor cables.
5. Where system wires pass through floors or fire-rated walls, the installation shall be made to prevent the spread
of fire from floor to floor (i.e. patching of holes, fire stops, etc.).
6. All system wiring subject to physical damage shall be mechanically protected based on the environment the
cable is subjected to.
7. Each device - pull station, detector, horn, bell, etc. - must have its own enclosure such as a back box, outlet
box, etc.
8. A minimum of 6 inches of free conductor will be required in each electrical box to facilitate terminations. A 12-
inch service loop of cable is required for all continuous pulls through an electrical box.
9. Unused openings in electrical boxes shall be properly “blanked off” with suitable protection equivalent to the
wall thickness of the equipment. All splice boxes shall have a blank cover.
10. All wiring shall be terminated with U.L. listed devices (i.e. wire nuts, pressure connectors, etc.). Wiring
terminated with only electrical tape is not permitted. All splicing (free ends of conductors) shall be covered with
an insulation equivalent to that of the conductors.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
The 4001 Fire Alarm System provides audible and visual indications during alarm conditions. When an alarm
condition occurs, the system activates the notification appliances and flashes appropriate alarm LEDs on the control
panel. The system’s notification appliances operate until you acknowledge the alarm or reset the system.
You do two things when you acknowledge an alarm condition:
l
You silence the notification appliances.
l
You change the flashing LEDs on the control panel to a steady illumination.
Note: If the system has been programmed to include certain options (see Page 24, Note 3), you cannot immediately
silence the notification appliances or reset the system.
The system has resound capability. If - after an alarm has been acknowledged - another alarm occurs on
another zone, the notification appliances will operate again.
The system can also be set up for alarm verification, which essentially verifies that a smoke detector is indeed in
alarm. (See description of alarm verification on Page 26 for details).
The system constantly checks for electrical troubles (opens, shorts, grounds, abnormal city connections, power loss,
low battery voltage, etc.). If a trouble condition occurs, the tone device on the panel sounds and the appropriate
trouble LEDs illuminate to indicate the type of trouble.
The system contains the following LED indicators (Figure 26) and switches (Figure 27).

l
Tone device is sounding a steady tone.
l
One or more amber indicators are on.
Alarm Condition
PRESSED, ALARM-
l
The notification appliances throughout the building are operating.
l
One or more red ALARM indicators are flashing indicating the zone(s) reporting the alarm.
HOW TO OPERATE THE PANEL DURING AN ALARM CONDITION
Important: Consult local code authorities for specific actions to be taken during an alarm condition.
l
When appropriate, unlock and open the panel door.
l
To silence notification appliances, press the ACK (acknowledge) switch (Fig. 27).
Notes:
1. Upon pressing the ACKNOWLEDGE switch, any red indicator that was flashing changes to a steady illumination.
2. If another alarm is reported from another zone, the notification appliances operate again and the red indicator
representing the new zone in alarm flashes (until the new alarm is acknowledged).
3. The following options will affect the acknowledge feature as follows:
l
Coded Input On Zone 1 - notification appliances cannot be silenced when zone 1 is in alarm; however,
flashing indicators change to a steady illumination when acknowledged. (Notification appliances silence
automatically upon code completion.)
l
Silence Inhibit - notification appliances cannot be silenced until the specified time period has elapsed (1 or 3
minutes).
l
Water-flow/Sprinkler - notification appliances cannot be silenced if water is flowing in the sprinkler system.
24
Page 29
HOW TO RESET THE FIRE ALARM SYSTEM FOLLOWING AN ALARM CONDITION
l
When the alarm situation has been cleared, restore or replace all affected alarm-initiating devices (pull stations
and detectors), if required, in accordance with the instructions provided with each device.
l
Press the SYSTEM RESET switch (Fig. 27) until LEDs illuminate.
Note: The following options will affect the RESET feature as follows:
l
Silence Inhibit - you cannot RESET the system until the specified time period has elapsed.
l
WaterflowSprinkler - you cannot RESET the system if water is flowing in the sprinkler system.
HOW TO OPERATE THE PANEL WHEN WATER IS FLOWING IN THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM (OPTIONAL)
When water is flowing in the sprinkler system, the following indications exist:
l
The sprinkler ALARM (ZONE 3) red indicator is flashing.
l
The notification appliances are operating.
After the fire has been extinguished and the water to the sprinkler system has been shut off, the following indications
exist:
l
The sprinkler ALARM (ZONE 3) red indicator is on steady.
l
The tamper switch ALARM (ZONE 4) red indicator is on steady (indicating that the water to the sprinkler system
has been shut off).
l
The notification appliances are still operating.
l
The tone device is sounding a slow pulse (indicating that the water to the sprinkler system has been shut off).
If the water to the sprinkler system has been shut off, proceed as follows:
l
At the panel, press the ACK switch (Fig. 27) notification appliances are silenced, the sprinkler ALARM (ZONE 3)
red indicator turns off, the tone device continues to sound a slow pulse, and the tamper switch ALARM (ZONE 4)
indicator remains on).
Note: Tone device cannot be silenced when water to the sprinkler system has been shut off.
l
Restore or replace sprinkler heads in accordance with the instructions provided with the devices.
l
Restore water to sprinkler system in accordance with the instructions provided with the sprinkler system (this
causes the tamper switch ALARM (ZONE 4) indicator to flash and the tone device to pulse rapidly).
l
Press the RESET switch (Fig. 27) until LEDs illuminate (system returns to its normal condition).
Note: Until the sprinkler system is fully recharged, waterflow may be detected by the panel and the fire alarm
system may go into alarm again. Therefore, you may have to repeat this procedure several times while
recharging the sprinkler system.
25
Page 30
WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF TROUBLE
l
Notify appropriate personnel. (If the system is connected to the city, notify the fire department monitoring facility.)
l
Unlock and open panel door.
l
If tone device is sounding, set TROUBLE SILENCE switch (Fig. 27 on Page 24) to its down position.
Note: When the trouble has cleared, the tone device will sound again as a reminder to set the TROUBLE
SILENCE switch back to its normal position.
Corrective Actions
l
Observe TROUBLE indicators and perform the corrective action outlined in Table 5 (see Page 27).
l
When the trouble clears, set TROUBLE SILENCE switch to its NORMAL (up) position.
l
If trouble is on the panel’s circuit board, contact your local Simplex Branch Office (listed in the Yellow Pages under
Fire Alarm).
Important: Any attempt to replace any components on the panel’s circuit board voids the warranty.
CAUTION: 24VDC exists at control panel circuit board. This voltage may cause damage to equipment during fuse
replacement, resistance measurements, or wire checks. When performing these activities, ensure that
the battery jumper (white wire) is disconnected from the battery and that all AC power is removed from
the system’s panel and peripherals. When replacement or checks are complete, restore power (AC
power first then batteries) and press RESET switch until the zone LEDs illuminate.
Note: When checking a suspected circuit, remove the circuit from the panel terminals (see Page 10, Building Wiring
Checkout Procedure), and the system wiring diagram (841-610) provided with the panel.
ALARM VERIFICATION FEATURE (OPTIONAL)
The 4001 Fire Alarm System can be programmed for alarm verification (see Page 20, System Programming).
l
Alarm verification works on/y with Simplex smoke detectors.
This feature requires the verification of any alarm initiated by a smoke detector, but allows contact devices (heat
detectors and manual stations) residing in the same zone to initiate alarms upon activation. The feature works as
follows:
a. If a smoke detector senses an alarm, the 4001 starts a 30-second timer, but otherwise ignores the alarm.
b. If, during the 30 seconds, no contact device in any zone (or smoke detector in another zone) activates, the zone
enters a 15second reset cycle.
c. Following the reset cycle, the 4001 enters a 120-second confirmation period. If, during this period, the smoke
detector re-alarms (or another smoke detector in the same zone initiates an alarm) the 4001 alarms immediately.
d. If no alarms occur during the 120-second confirmation period, the 4001 automatically returns to normal operation.
Notes:
1. If, at any time during the above time period, a smoke detector in another zone (or contact device in any zone)
activates, the 4001 alarms immediately.
2. If Zone 1 is used with the coded input option, then alarm verification will not work on Zone 1.
3. If Zones 3 and 4 use the sprinkler/water-flow options, then alarm verification will not work on Zones 3 and 4.
