The 4010 is a single-channel, addressable, modular Fire Alarm Control Panel
(FACP) that monitors and controls up to 250 IDNet addressable devices. The
Standard Function Input/Output (SFI/O) card, power supply, and cabinet provide
a complete fire alarm control panel for most applications. Optional modules
mount to the chassis to provide additional inputs and outputs, network
communication, and additional power. Additionally, the 4010 can automatically
control supplementary equipment such as fire doors and fans during an alarm
condition using its auxiliary relay outputs.
The 4010 provides audible and visible indications during trouble, supervisory, or
alarm (fire) conditions. Should any of these conditions occur, the system
activates the applicable notification appliance(s), LEDs, and the panel tone-alert.
The indications continue until someone appropriately acknowledges the
condition.
This publication describes how to install, configure, operate, program, and test
the Simplex 4010 Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP).
