SECTION 1

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Simplex 4020 is a microprocessor-based Fire Alarm System.

It is UL-listed, power-limited, electrically-

supervised, and protected against loss of primary AC power and brown-out conditions.

The standard 4020 can control up to 127 MAPNET II@ points. Depending on options, the 4020 can control a
maximum of 254 addressable points. Since all points in a system may not be addressable, the 4020 also offers up
to 20 hardwired points (with 4 points standard) that can be used to interface with detector zones, bell or horn circuits,
and auxiliary relay control. Each hardwired point is individually configurable as either a monitor point, a signal circuit,
or as an auxiliary relay output, with up to 8 different points on a single card.

The 4020 offers a variety of ways to provide remote annunciation. It can communicate with the LCD annunciator,
the SCWRCU, or the graphic SCWRCU. The RS-232 interface can be used to output to a printer or CRT.

An alphanumeric display on the 4020 Operator Interface Panel (Figure 1) indicates the condition of the system. The
alphanumeric display shows various prompts and labels which guide the user through a sequenced operation for
each abnormal condition. Audible and visual indications are provided to indicate abnormal conditions when they
exist within the system.

The 4020 capacities are as follows:

l

Up to two MAPNET II@ channels with up to 127 addressable devices each for a total of 254 addressable

devices

l

Up to 20 hardwired points, configurable as monitor, signal, or auxiliary relay points

l

An RS-232 interface

l

Up to 31 remote annunciator locations, which can accommodate SCWRCU, graphic SCU/RCU, and LCD

annunciators

l

An 8-Amp switching power supply, with a battery charger capable of charging batteries with up to 50 Ah
capacity.

The default hardware for a 4020 includes a master controller with a display, master trouble points, city circuit, and
tone-alert. The standard slave module uses three card addresses. “Card (address) 1 W functions like an 8-point multi­function I/O card, but only the first 4 points are available. “Card 2” is the power supply card. “Card 3” is the built-in

MAPNET@ channel.

The following optional hardware is allowed:

l

An additional MAPNET II@ card

l

Two eight-point multifunctional I/O cards

l

An RS-232 interface card configured with two isolated ports, with the ability for one port to be dedicated to
communications with a 2120 Multiplex System.

l

Serial annunciators including the LCD display, the SCWRCU, or the graphic SCWRCU

l

4120 Network Interface

l

25.5 Volt Limiter Module for Agent Release.

NOTE: This document covers operating procedures for a typical 4020 system. Applications will vary due to optional

hardware installed, custom programming, and local code requirements.

SYSTEM OPERATING DESCRIPTION

www.BevanSecurity.Com

The 4020 Operator Interface Panel, hereinafter called the interface panel, shows the following under normal
conditions:

l

Green “POWER ON” LED ON (indicating that AC power is applied)

l

All other interface panel indications OFF

l

Alphanumeric LCD display states that the system is normal, as shown below.

SYSTEM IS NORMAL

08:23:43

I

Abnormal conditions are indicated on the interface panel by flashing the alarm, supervisory, or trouble LED and
sounding the tone-alert. The alphanumeric display provides information as to the point status (alarm, supervisory,
and trouble), type of alarm (smoke detector, pull station etc.), number of abnormal conditions in the system, and a
custom label. Alarm, supervisory, and trouble conditions each have their respective acknowledge key. Pressing the
appropriate acknowledge key will silence the tone-alert. However, the LED indicating the abnormal condition
remains illuminated until all initiating devices are restored to normal.

MON 04-APR-94

I

If your system is configured with the CRT or printer option, point status is also displayed on these devices. The CRT
option controls various system functions. It can acknowledge system status changes, silence alarm signals, and
perform system reset procedures.

When an initiating device (monitor point) senses a Fire Alarm Condition (heat, smoke, manual activation, etc.),
notification appliances (signals) and the tone-alert sounds, and the FIRE ALARM LED turns ON and flashes,
indicating that a Fire Alarm condition is present. In addition, depending on the nature of the alarm condition, relays
trip, the city circuit activates, and various programmed events occur. The tone-alert continues sounding until the
alarm is acknowledged.

Figure 1

Interface Panel

(Access Door Closed)

When an initiating device senses a System Supervisory Condition (tamper valve off normal, generator status, etc.),

www.BevanSecurity.Com

programmed notification appliances and the tone-alert sounds, the SYSTEM SUPERVISORY LED on the interface
panel turns ON and flashes, the city circuit may be activated (if required by local codes), and various programmed
events occur. The tone-alert continues sounding until the condition is acknowledged or cleared.

When the 4020 senses a malfunction within the system (loss of power, hardware failure, etc.), a Trouble Condition

is announced by the interface panel. The tone-alert sounds steady, the SYSTEM TROUBLE LED flashes and
various programmed events occur. The tone-alert continues sounding until the condition is acknowledged or
cleared.

NOTE: When an operator interface panel key is referenced within this manual, it is normally shown between left

and right arrows. Examples are cACK> and <ALARM SILENCE>.

All abnormal conditions must be acknowledged by pressing the cACK> key under the appropriate flashing LED.

Notification appliances are silenced by pressing the <ALARM SILENCE> key.

NOTE: When you press the <ALARM SILENCE> key, the ALARM SILENCED LED turns ON steady.

Depressing the <SYSTEM RESET> key restores the system to the normal operating mode if Fire Alarm Conditions

have been acknowledged and restored. Depressing the <PRIORITY 2 ALARM RESET> key on the CONTROL Key

Panel restores the system to normal operation if Priority 2 Alarm Conditions have been acknowledged and restored.

(All keys on the CONTROL Key Panel must be programmed for function.)

The tone-alert may be programmed to sound at specified time intervals to serve as a reminder that a trouble still

exists within the system (System Trouble Reminder).

The system has “re-sound” capability. If, after silencing the signals, the system detects another abnormal condition,
the zone with the abnormal condition is indicated on the interface panel alphanumeric display, the appropriate

indicator again flashes, and the signals again sound.

To provide maximum efficiency in performing primary fire alarm functions, an interface panel access door, shown in

Figure 1, covers all keys except those required for indication and interaction for emergency situations. (The access
door must be opened to reset Priority 2 Alarm Conditions.)

HANDLING ABNORMAL CONDITIONS

When an abnormal condition occurs, at least one of the interface panel LEDs (FIRE ALARM, PRIORITY 2 ALARM,
SYSTEM SUPERVISORY, or SYSTEM TROUBLE) flashes, and the tone-alert sounds. The alphanumeric display
on the interface panel shows the total number of abnormal conditions present in the system. At a glance, you know
how serious the situation is by reading the number of abnormal conditions displayed, such as the single alarm

- condition shown below.

**FIRE**

FIRE = 1 PR12 = 0 SUPV = 0

I

Press <ACK> to review.

TRBL = 0

I

The system also creates a “List” when abnormal conditions exist. The list contains the number of abnormal
conditions present in the system. The cACK> keys are pushed to view the abnormal condition list, and review each
condition, if required.

When an Alarm Condition is detected by the system, the appropriate ALARM LED flashes and the tone-alert pulses.
For supervisory and trouble conditions, the appropriate interface panel LED flashes, and the tone-alert sounds
steady.

Pressing the appropriate cACK> key (under the flashing LED) displays the first acknowledged condition in the

www.BevanSecurity.Com

appropriate list. Note that the cACK> function may be passcode protected. If you have insufficient privilege to
acknowledge the condition, a message will indicate the problem, and will allow you to view the points without
acknowledging them. If you have sufficient privilege to acknowledge the condition, a message is displayed informing
you that the condition has been acknowledged. (See Operator Access Levels, Section 8, and Log In Procedure,
Section 1, for details.)

The 4020 system can be configured with either Global or Individual Acknowledge. When Global Acknowledge is
used in the system, one press of an <ACK> key globally acknowledges every abnormal point in the system in that
category. If all the points are acknowledged in this manner, an appropriate message is displayed. When Global
Acknowledge is used in a system, and the supervisory service or trouble conditions clears, the abnormal condition
automatically clears. Alarm conditions must be acknowledged. If Individual Acknowledge is used in the system, the
appropriate <ACK> key must be pressed for each condition change.

Note that the acknowledge function imposes a delay of at least one second between point acknowledgments. This
minimum delay allows you to view the information displayed on the alphanumeric display for each point that is being
acknowledged by the cACK> key.

When a point is acknowledged, the interface panel status LED glows steady, and the tone-alert silences. The total
number of alarm, supervisory, and trouble conditions show on the alphanumeric display along with a prompt to press

the cACK> key for point review. Pressing the cACK> key scrolls through the selected list in chronological order.

Each list is different and contains information concerning a particular abnormal condition.

After 30 seconds of keypad inactivity, the total number of abnormal conditions is again shown on the alphanumeric

display. Pressing the cACK> key selects a list for review. The first point to be displayed is either the first
acknowledged point in the list, or the first point in the list if all are acknowledged.

Alarm, supervisory, and trouble lists are displayed in chronological order. A message will indicate when the end of
a list has been reached.

The last message contains the total number of abnormal conditions, such as the single alarm message shown

below.

**FIRE**

FIRE = 1 PRIZ = 0 SUPV = 0 TRBL = 0

I

The <DISPLAY TIME> Key

The <DISPLAY TIME> key is used to view the time of day when the abnormal condition occurred. By viewing the
time for each abnormal condition occurrence, fire department personnel can determine the path and possible cause

for each abnormal condition.

Note that the <DISPLAY TIME> key only displays time for existing abnormal conditions.

Using the <DISPLAY TIME* Key

The red <DISPLAY TIME> key works for any point currently in an alarm, supervisory, or trouble condition. The alarm

list information is obtained from the historical log and is shown on the alphanumeric display, in order of occurrence.
In situations where multiple conditions are present, you can simply push one key to review the time that each
abnormal condition occurred. An example of an alarm condition is shown below.

Press <ACK> to review.

NOTE: Refer to Figure 2 for locations of interface panel LEDs and Keys.

When an Alarm Condition is detected by the 4020, the condition is indicated by the following:

l

Red “FIRE ALARM” or “PRIORITY 2 ALARM” LED is flashing

l

Tone-alert is pulsing

l

LEDs on annunciators may illuminate

l

The alphanumeric display on the interface panel indicates an alarm condition, such as the Fire Alarm condition
shown below.

ESSENTIAL ALARM CONDITION KEYS

www.BevanSecurity.Com

The essential keys for alarm conditions are the <ALARM ACK> (Alarm Acknowledge), <ALARM SILENCE>, and the
<SYSTEM RESET> keys. The remaining keys are concealed by the interface panel access door and are associated

with advanced system functions. (See Section 8, Advanced Functions.)

ALARM ACKNOWLEDGE KEYS

The <ALARM ACK> keys are located directly under the FIRE ALARM LED and the PRIORITY 2 ALARM LED.

Pressing the <ALARM ACK> key (twice for Individual Acknowledge or once for Global Acknowledge) causes the
ALARM LED to change from flashing to steady ON and silences the tone-alert. Pressing the <ALARM ACK> key
does the following:

l

Selects the next unacknowledged alarm point in the list for display (Individual Acknowledge)

l

Acknowledges the displayed point or acknowledges all points on the list (Global Acknowledge)

l

Scrolls the points chronologically after all points have been acknowledged.

If the <ALARM ACK> key is passcode protected, you cannot use this key to acknowledge alarms unless you have

the required access level. (See Operator Access Levels, Section 8, and Log In Procedure, Section 1.)

There are two types of acknowledges for the 4020 system: Global Acknowledge and Individual Acknowledge. Each
acknowledge type operates with the System Alarm Condition in the following manner.

l

Global Acknowledge - When Global Acknowledge is used on the 4020 system, a single key press of the
<ALARM ACK> key acknowledges all alarm status changes in the system. If status change information is
required, you may review this data by pressing the <ALARM ACK> key and reading the alphanumeric display.

l

Individual Acknowledge (For NFPA 72 Proprietary Receiver Requirements) - If an alarm condition has
been acknowledged with the <ALARM ACK> key and further unacknowledged conditions remain in the
system, the tone-alert continues sounding and the next status change shows on the alphanumeric display.
This process repeats until all changes are acknowledged. When this occurs, the tone-alert silences, and the
highest priority acknowledge change appears on the display.

ALARM SILENCE KEY

CAUTION

PRESSING THE ALARM SILENCE KEY CAUSES FIRE ALARM EVACUATION SIGNALS TO TURN
OFF: FOLLOW LOCAL PROCEDURES TO SILENCE ALARM EVACUATION SIGNALS.

When an alarm condition exists, various signals, auxiliary relays, the city connection, and the tone-alert may activate

(depending on the type of alarm condition, the system configuration, and the stage of the alarm condition). The
<ALARM SILENCE> key, when pressed, turns OFF all circuits programmed to follow the Alarm Silence key. The
<ALARM SILENCE> key press will:

l

Turn OFF signal circuits

l

Turn ON the ALARM SILENCED LED

l

Display a message, such as the one shown below.

ALARM SILENCE IN PROGRESS...

Alarm Silence Software Considerations

www.BevanSecurity.Com

The following software functions affect ALARM SILENCE operation.

l

If a Coded Input Device is activated, the <ALARM SILENCE> key press may be ignored until this function

has completed coding. Notification appliances cannot be silenced when a coded station is in alarm. However,

the flashing LED will change from flashing ON to steady ON when the <ALARM ACK> key is pushed. The

notification appliances silence automatically upon coding completion.

l

If the Alarm Silence Inhibit Function is activated but not completed, the <ALARM SILENCE> key press is

ignored. The message, “ALARM SILENCE INHIBITED”, displays for a short time to indicate the action was not

taken. The message “ALARM SILENCE NO LONGER INHIBITED” displays when the inhibit function times

out. If selected, the alarm silence inhibit may be programmed from 1 to 99 minutes. When selected, signals

cannot be silenced until the programmed time has elapsed.’

l

If Waterflow/Sprinkler Devices are activated, notification appliances may or may not be silenced (depending

on local code requirements). Usually, a dedicated bell will continue to sound to indicate water flow.

l

Some visual notification appliances may continue to flash until the system is reset.

SYSTEM RESET KEY

The <SYSTEM RESET> key is used to return the system to its normal state after a Fire Alarm Condition has been
cleared. When the <SYSTEM RESET> key is pushed, it causes any latched circuits to reset automatically. Also reset

are initiating devices, relays (including the city relay), notification appliances, and all LEDs and indicators which are

programmed to reset with the <SYSTEM RESET> key. The message, “SYSTEM RESET IN PROGRESS”, displays
when the <SYSTEM RESET> key is pressed. When the Fire Alarm Condition has reset, the FIRE ALARM LED
flashes, and the system requires that the <ALARM ACK> key be pressed.

When the <ALARM ACK> key is pressed, a message should be displayed that is similar to the one shown below.

SYSTEM IS NORMAL

8:37:13 MON 04-APR-94

If a zone stays in alarm during the reset period, the message “SYSTEM RESET IN PROGRESS” is followed by the

message shown below.

ALARM PRESENT, SYSTEM RESET ABORTED

I

When the “SYSTEM RESET ABORTED” message displays, the system remains in an alarm state. The display
indicates the total number of alarms present in the system along with a prompt to use the <ALARM ACK> key to
review the points. These points do not require acknowledgment. The ALARM LED remains ON to indicate that a
device is still in an alarm condition.

If the system does not reset, and the display still shows an alarm although no alarm condition exists, read the
alphanumeric display on the interface panel to determine the type of device and the location of the device in alarm.
Follow local procedures to investigate the area of the building with the alarm. Look for devices still in alarm (pull
stations, smoke detectors, etc.). Most devices latch until they are reset, either by the system or manually.

IF THE ALARM POINT DOES NOT RESET

If a device does not reset, you may choose to perform the Disable Procedure given in the following paragraphs.

13

HOW TO DISABLE A POINT

www.BevanSecurity.Com

CAUTION

DISABLING A POINT CAUSES THAT POINT TO NOT REPORT ALARM CONDITIONS OR OTHER
STATUS CHANGES. A POINT SHOULD NOT BE DISABLED UNLESS IT IS CLEARLY UNDERSTOOD
THAT FIRE DETECTION OR SECURITY FOR THE AREA OF THE BUILDING COVERED BY THAT

POINT WILL BE LOST. APPROPRIATE STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO PROVIDE ALTERNATE MEANS

OF PROTECTION FOR THAT AREA OF THE BUILDING WHILE THE POINT IS DISABLED.

If a device does not reset, you may disconnect the device/point causing the alarm condition. However, this point

must first be identified. Press the <ALARM ACK> key, and read the alphanumeric display on the interface panel.

Then disable the identified alarm point with the <DISABLE> key. If the <DISABLE> key is passcode protected,

perform the Log In Procedure before performing the Disable Procedure.

The <DISABLE> key press removes power to any displayed monitor point. Thus, disabling a point causes a trouble
condition on the individual zone.

To disable a point, perform the following procedure.

1. Open the interface panel access door.

system. (See Section 8, Advanced Functions.) Use of these keys require advanced user skills. These keys may be
passcode protected. (See Operator Access Levels, Section 8, and Log In Procedure, Section 1.)

TROUBLE ACKNOWLEDGE KEY

The cTBL ACK> key is used to scroll through the various displays on the alphanumeric display. It also controls the
Trouble LEDs and the tone-alert. The <TBL ACK> key is located directly under the SYSTEM TROUBLE LED.

Pressing the cTBL ACK> key (twice for Individual Acknowledge or once for Global acknowledge) causes the LED

to change from flashing ON to steady ON, silences the tone-alert, and causes the following to occur:

l

Selects the next unacknowledged trouble point and display it on the alphanumeric display (Individual
Acknowledge)

l

Acknowledges the displayed point or acknowledges all points on the list (Global Acknowledge)

l

Silences signals programmed to follow the cTBL ACK> key

l

Scrolls the points chronologically after all have been acknowledged.

If the <TBLACK> key is passcode protected, you cannot use this key to acknowledge troubles unless you have the

required access level. (See Operator Access Levels, Section 8, and Log In Procedure, Section 1.)

There are two types of acknowledges for the 4020 system: Global Acknowledge and Individual Acknowledge. Each
acknowledge type operates with the System Trouble Condition in the following manner.

l

Global Acknowledge

- When Global Acknowledge is used on the 4020 system, a single key press of the
<TBL ACK> key acknowledges all troubles in the system. If status change information is required, you may
review this data (after a 30-second delay) by pressing the <TBL ACK> key and reading the total number of

troubles on the alphanumeric display.

l

Individual Acknowledge (For NFPA 72 Proprietary Receiver Requirements) - If a trouble condition has
been acknowledged with the cTBL ACK> key and further unacknowledged conditions remain in the system,

the tone-alert continues sounding and the next status change shows on the alphanumeric display. This

process repeats until all changes are acknowledged. When this occurs, the tone-alert silences.

17

SYSTEM RESET KEY

www.BevanSecurity.Com

NOTE: The <SYSTEM RESET> key is also described in Section 2 of this document.

Normally, trouble points do not require acknowledgment of the cleared condition. If the system does not clear, read

the display. Then check for devices still in trouble (pull stations, smoke detectors etc.). Call Simplex to repair the

system.

Some troubles latch until they are reset manually or are reset by pressing the <SYSTEM RESET> key. These
troubles include Style D (“Class A”) initiating device circuit troubles, and reverse polarity city circuit trouble
conditions.

If a monitor point intermittently toggles into trouble, or will not reset, you may choose to disable that point, using the

TROUBLE INDICATIONS FOR TrueAlarm” SENSORS

INTRODUCTION

The devices that are used for the TrueAlarm’” operation are considered sensors instead of detectors, because these
devices do not determine alarm conditions. The TrueAlarmTM smoke sensor is a measuring device that sends data
regarding smoke density to the 4020 control panel. The TrueAlarmTM heat sensor operates in a similar fashion, but
sends temperature data instead of smoke density data. The 4020 uses this data to determine whether a trouble has
occurred. This basic operational difference is the key to TrueAlarm’” operation.

The TrueAlarm” sensor has two automatic trouble indications:

l

Dirty, and

. Excessively Dirty.

A “Smoke Detector Dirty” trouble condition is reported any time the average value on an individual sensor reaches
a set threshold value. At this time, the 4020 is still compensating for environmental factors and is holding the set
sensitivity level.

A”Smoke Detector Excessively Dirty” trouble condition is reported anytime the average value of an individual sensor
reaches a higher than threshold level. At this point, the 4020 can no longer compensate for environmental factors,
and the sensitivity level will begin to drift. Although an “excessively dirty” trouble is reported, the sensor will continue

to operate and will report an alarm condition if one is detected.

In addition to the two automatic trouble conditions, the 4020 software includes a pre-programmed digital pseudo

point (P132, Sensor Almost Dirty Log Enable) that can be turned ON at the front panel to allow a TrueAlarm” sensor
that is within 10 analog units of being a “dirty” sensor to report as if it were one. This is useful when maintenance is
being scheduled for dirty sensors, as it provides a means of seeing if other sensors are approaching a dirty state.

19

Once a minute, the 4020 software performs a self-alarm test of each TrueAlarm’” sensor. The self-alarm test raises

www.BevanSecurity.Com

the value of each sensor to a value that simulates an alarm condition. If the sensor reports back a value that is not
within the alarm range, a “self-test abnormal” trouble will be displayed for that specific sensor.

The following paragraphs discuss the responsibilities of 4020 system operators when these trouble indications

occur.

ALMOST DlRTY INDICATION

Using the front panel keypads, it is possible for a SIMPLEX Field Service representative to turn on a system point

that allows an “almost dirty” sensor to report a trouble. Although the “almost dirty” sensor is holding its sensitivity

level, the 4020 operator can schedule maintenance for the sensor before the dirty sensor trouble occurs.

DIRTY INDICATION

A “Dirty” indication means that the sensor is holding its sensitivity level, but that the 4020 operator should schedule
maintenance for the sensor. Clean the sensor as required and, if necessary, call Simplex for service.

EXCESSWEL Y DIRTY INDICATION

The “Excessively Dirty” indication means that the sensor is no longer compensating for dirt and dust. Because false
alarms are possible with this condition, sensors must be cleaned as soon as possible. If necessary, call Simplex for
service.

SELF-TEST ABNORMAL INDICATION

All 4020 system sensors are automatically tested once every minute. If a sensor fails to report properly to the 4020

master controller, a “self-test abnormal” condition occurs. Since the sensor is not working properly, it must be

replaced. Replace it, or call Simplex for service.

the SUPERVISORY LED and the tone-alert. The &UPV ACK> key is located directly under the SUPERVISORY

LED. Pressing the cSUPV ACK> key (twice for Individual Acknowledge or once for Global Acknowledge) causes the
LED to change from flashing ON to steady ON, and silences the tone-alert. The &UPV ACK> key press does the
following:

l

Selects the next unacknowledged supervisory point and shows it on the display (Individual Acknowledge)

l

Acknowledges the displayed point or acknowledges all points on the list (Global Acknowledge)

l

Scrolls the points chronologically after all points have been acknowledged.

NOTE: The &UPV ACK> key may be passcode protected. If you do not have the required access level, you will

not be able to acknowledge supervisory conditions. (See Operator Access Levels, Section 8, and the Log
In Procedure, Section 1, for details.)

23

IThere are two types of acknowledges for the 4020 system: Global Acknowledge and Individual Acknowledge. Each

www.BevanSecurity.Com

acknowledge type operates with the Supervisory Condition in the following manner:

l

Global Acknowledge

- When Global Acknowledge is used on the 4020 system, a single key press of the
<SUPV ACK> key acknowledges all supervisory changes in the system. If status change information is
required, you may review this data (after a 30-second delay) by pressing the &UPV ACK> key and reading

the total number of supervisory changes on the alphanumeric display.

l

Individual Acknowledge (For NFPA 72 Proprietary Receiver Requirements) - If a supervisory condition has
been acknowledged with the cSUPV ACK> key and further unacknowledged conditions remain in the system,

the tone-alert continues to sound and the next status change is shown on the alphanumeric display. This
process repeats until all changes are acknowledged. When this occurs, the tone-alert silences and the highest

priority acknowledge change appears on the display.

RS-232 INTERFACE

INTRODUCTION

Two RS-232 ports are available on the RS232 interface card. The RS-232 interface option supports both printers
and video terminals to annunciate alarm, supervisory, and trouble conditions.

RS-232 PORT ACCESS LEVELS

The interface panel, and each RS-232 interface port configured for a video terminal, are programmed to allow
certain operations at each access level. You must be “logged in” at the required access level or higher to perform
the various system operations. Up to 20 operators are allowed to log in at the various passcode access levels. The

number of operators, passcode access levels, and the allowed operations are programmed into the system,

dependant on the customer requirements.

If a port is not configured to annunciate a class of events, such as supervisory conditions, you will not be able to

acknowledge those points with the video terminal keyboard - even though the video terminal is connected to that

port - regardless of the passcode level entered. Table 1 lists the default protection levels for the RS-232 interface.

These levels are programmed to meet customer requirements.

ACKNOWLEDGE SCREEN

The entire 4020 system (including the CRT ports) is configured as either a Global Acknowledge system or as an
Individual Acknowledge system. If the system is configured as a Global Acknowledge system, one press of the
cPFl> key acknowledges all abnormal conditions that can be annunciated by the port. When the system is
configured as an Individual Acknowledge system, the Acknowledge key, <PFl>, must be pressed to acknowledge
each condition change.

All conditions which can be displayed at the CRT can be acknowledged at the CRT, provided that you have logged
in at a sufficient access level. A tone on the CRT sounds to indicate unacknowledged conditions. (The tone can be
silenced with the cPF1 z- key.) When an abnormal condition occurs, you must select the appropriate acknowledge
screen. The Header information on the screen indicates the number of abnormal conditions which can be
annunciated by the CRT, and not necessarily the total number of abnormal conditions in the system. To acknowledge
an abnormal condition, press the <PFl> key while in the acknowledge screen. The displayed condition will stop
flashing, but will still indicate the abnormal condition. When all abnormal conditions have been acknowledged, you

can return to the Main Menu by pressing the <F18> key.

As with the operator interface, alarms have priority over supervisory and trouble conditions. Multiple conditions are
displayed in chronological order. Should multiple unacknowledged conditions occur, no unacknowledged event is
allowed to scroll off the screen. If more unacknowledged conditions exist in the system than can fit on the screen,

the “oldest” unacknowledged point is displayed first. After that condition is acknowledged, it scrolls off the top of the

screen and is replaced by the next oldest condition.

27

The acknowledge screens are dynamic, and information is updated once per second. Follow the prompts at the

www.BevanSecurity.Com

bottom of the screen (shown in Figure 6) to silence signals (<PF2> key), or to reset the system (<PF3> key). When

the system has reset, press the cPFl> key to acknowledge the condition change.

NETWORK INTERFACE

INTRODUCTION

The Network Interface Option allows the 4020 to communicate with other FA panels or with a 2120 Multiplex System
(see Network Concepts [NET-91 -5001).

Note: The 4020 acts as a transponder when connected to a 2120.

NETWORK (OR 2120) OPERATION DURING Walk Test’”

Status changes occurring as a result of a Walk Test’” operation in a networked system are not communicated to
other members of the network (or a 2120). The Walk Test’” is strictly a local 4020 operation. See Section 10 for Walk
Test’” procedures.

MAPNET II@ ADDRESSABLE INTERFACE

INTRODUCTION

Addressable device communications operate via the Simplex Multiple Addressable Peripheral Network (MAPNET

If=). Using a two-wire circuit, individual initiating devices such as automatic smoke detectors, TrueAlarm” smoke
sensors, manual fire alarm boxes, and sprinkler flow switches can communicate their exact identity and status. This
addressability allows the location and condition of each device to be displayed on the interface panel and on the

system annunciators. In addition, notification appliance circuits (horns, bells, strobes, etc.) as well as other control
circuits (fans, dampers, etc.) may be individually controlled. Acombined total of 127 addressable monitor and control
devices may be intermixed on the same pair of wires. If Zone Adaptor Modules (ZAMs) are used, non-addressable

initiating devices can be connected to the MAPNET II@ circuit. The MAPNET II@ option allows the use of addressable
devices and TrueAlarm” sensors with the 4020 system.

TrueAlarm” SYSTEM OPERATION

The MAPNET II@ Controller can communicate with smoke density and temperature sensing devices called
TrueAlarm” Sensors. ATrueAlarm’” sensor measures smoke density, but has no self-contained alarm set point. The
alarm set point is programmed into the 4020. Thus, the alarm decision is made by the 4020, rather than by the
sensor.

Every four seconds, each smoke sensor transmits an output value based on its smoke chamber condition. The 4020

system maintains a current value, peak value, and an average value of each sensor’s output. Status is determined

by comparing the current sensor value to its average value. Tracking this average value as a continuously shifting
reference point filters out the environmental factors that cause shifts in sensitivity. Each sensor’s sensitivity can be

field-programmed at the 4020 panel for different levels of smoke obscuration (in percent). Sensor sensitivity can be

individually varied automatically by time of day, typically more sensitive at night and less sensitive during daytime
hours. In order to evaluate whether the sensitivity should be revised, the peak value that is stored in memory can

be read and compared to the alarm threshold directly in percent.

TrueAlarm’” operation gives the 4020 system the ability to automatically indicate when a sensor is dirty and when it
is excessively dirty. The NFPA 72 requirement for a test of the sensitivity range of the sensors is fulfilled by the 4020
system’s ability to maintain the sensitivity level of each sensor. Additionally, a “two-stage” alarm operation can be
programmed in the 4020 panel. For example, a one-percent smoke obscuration reading could cause a local
indication allowing the building security staff to investigate, while a three-percent obscuration report could
immediately initiate a system alarm.

TrueAlarm” heat sensors provide reading of local temperatures. For fire sensing, rate-of-rise sensing can be

selected as either 15°F or 20°F per minute, with an independent fixed limit of 135’F. For general temperature
sensing, a set point can be selected from 32’F to 158°F and the local temperature readings can be used to warn of
potential problems. The temperature readings can be programmed to read in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Sensor data can be displayed on the interface panel LCD, on a remote CRT, or printed on a remote printer. Figure

MAPNET II@ POINT ADDRESSING

www.BevanSecurity.Com

Each MAPNET II@ device must have a point address in order to communicate with the 4020 system. These point
addresses, along with their custom labels, are located in the Programmer’s Report. The Programmer’s Report

shows the address for each device, separated by hyphens. Hyphens must be used when entering a MAPNET II@

address into the system. An example of a MAPNET II. device address is “Ml -5”. The “Ml fl portion of the address
identifjes the MAPNET 11~ channel, Channel 1. The “5” portion of the address identifies the device number, Device
Number 5. The only valid MAPNET IIQ channels for the 4020 are Channels 1 and 2.

HOW TO DISPLAY A MAPNET II@ SYSTEM POINT

For MAPNET Ileo operations, see Section 8, “How to Use Prefix Keys to Display System Points.” This procedure also
shows the Programmer’s Report for MAPNET Ilc addresses.

WHAT TO DO IF A MAPNET II@J POINT WILL NOT RESET

If a MAPNET ll@~ device will not reset, you may decide to disable the point with the <DISABLE> key. When the disable
procedure is performed, a System Trouble occurs to remind you that the point is disabled. The disable procedure is
the same for all system points (see Section 2, “How to Disable a Point”). Maintenance personnel must be called
immediately to repair the malfunction.

After the MAPNET II@ monitor point is repaired, you can enable the point again (see Section 9, “How to Enable a
Disabled Point”). This procedure is the same for all system points.

FUNCTION KEYS

Four function keys (cFl>, <F2>, cF3>, and cF4>) are located directly above the alphanumeric display (see Figure

16). Within the Main Menu options, these key definitions change as required to perform specific actions for selected

Main Menu options. The definitions for each key are shown on the top line of the alphanumeric display as an aid to
the user. A function key does not require any other key to be pressed to activate its function. Pressing a key causes
that key to immediately perform its defined task. Pressing a key which has no defined action for the current function

has no effect. However, the tone-alert acknowledges the key press with a “beep.” These four keys are associated
with advanced functions of the system within the Main Menu options, and within point displays. These keys may be
passcode protected for some of the defined operations.

The cFl>, <F2>, <F3>, and cF4> have extended actions defined during point displays used in conjunction with the

POINT SELECTION

www.BevanSecurity.Com

SELECTING POINTS USING LISTS

Many of the functions performed from the interface panel display point specific data. Every system point is part of
the “Select a List of Points” list in the main menu. All points can be displayed sequentially by address order using

this list option. To facilitate the search for a particular point, lists may be selected by type groupings (monitors,

signals, auxiliary, input/output, pseudo points etc.). A list of points may be selected, then scrolled through by using

the <NEXT> and <PREVIOUS> keys. Selecting a list of points will expedite the search for a specific point with a

minimum scrolling.

The following lists are available for selection with the “Select a List of Points” option from the Main Function Menu:

l

All Monitor Zones

l

All Signal Points

l

All Auxiliary Relay Points

l

All Auxiliary Feedback Points

l

All Digital Pseudo Points

l

All Analog Pseudo Points

l

All List Pseudo Points

l

All Points by Address List

l

All Network Points.

SELECTING POINTS USING THE KEYPAD

Rather than scrolling through a list, you may use the keypad to select a point. If the input represents a valid point in
the system, that point will be shown on the alphanumeric display. After a point has been displayed, you can scroll
through all the points in the system from that point, or select another point directly by entering another identifier using
the keypad.

You have the choice of entering a point number or an address number. The format for entering a point identifier

address requires a hyphen. Only numbers and the hyphen keys are valid entries. The maximum number of digits

allowed in an identifier input is eleven (11) including the hyphens, excluding the <ENTER> key.

SELECTING ADDITIONAL LISTS

When an abnormal condition occurs, a record of the event is placed in one of two logs generated by the 4020

system, depending on the nature of the condition. These logs are:

l

Historical Alarm Log

l

Historical Trouble Log.

The historical logs contain a time stamp of the events surrounding abnormal conditions in the system. The

information displayed with these lists are historical data only and will not contain any current point status. Separate

lists are maintained for alarms and for supervisories/troubles. These lists are displayed by selecting the “Display

Historical Log” option from the Main Function Menu.

OPERATOR ACCESS LEVELS

Operator access levels 1 through 4 are available to support the 4020 system. Level 1 is the lowest operator access

level and does not require a passcode to be entered to access functions identified at this level. Levels 2 through 4

require a passcode of the required level or higher to be entered prior to performing the passcode protected function.

Controlling actions may be classified with Levels 2 through 4. Routine actions are assigned to low access levels
while Level 4 is reserved for special, highly sensitive operations (normally reserved for Simplex Personnel). Entering
a Level 4 passcode allows access to all system functions. It also causes a trouble condition which requires a “warm
start” to clear.

49

A valid passcode must contain a minimum of 3 digits and not more than 10 digits. The available digits are 0 through

www.BevanSecurity.Com

9. Passcodes are specified during order entry; then, programmed during system configuration. When passcodes
are not specified, the following default passcodes are assigned.

LEVEL

1
2
3 333
4

The operator access level defaults to Level 1 when power is first applied to the system, after 10 minutes of keypad
inactivity, and when the user elects to log out. The <SYSTEM RESET> key press has no effect upon the access
level.

The only way to increase the operator access level in the system is to select the “Change Access Level” option in
the Main Function Menu. Decreasing the level resets system access level to 1. Increasing the level requires a valid

Level 2, 3, or 4 passcode. The user is prompted to enter a passcode. The input is compared to all the valid system
codes, and the system operator access level is set accordingly. If an invalid code is input, you will be notified with
the message “ERROR...INCORRECT PASSCODE,” and will be allowed up to three chances to enter a valid code.
After three unsuccessful tries, the message “ACCESS DENIED” will be displayed for a short time. The access level
will not be altered, but you will no longer be in the ‘Change Access Level” menu option.

If a correct passcode is entered, the message “ACCESS GRANTED” is displayed. The new operator access level
will be in effect until the keypad is inactive for 10 minutes, or until you manually reset the level through the “Change
Access Level” option.

While entering a passcode with the keypad, the key presses are acknowledged by a “beep.” The digits entered are

not displayed. The cursor moves along, filling the position with an X to indicate that a digit has been entered. The

<DEL> key can be used to delete the last digit. The <ENTER> key press is required to enter the passcode into the

system.

The Action Keys, ON, OFF, AUTO, ENABLE, DISABLE and the five Panel Control Keys may have operator access

levels associated with them. If such a key is pressed with an insufficient access level, a message will inform the

operator that the action was not taken, and the key press is ignored. The operator must then select the Main

Function Menu option to increase the access level before using the key. (See Section 1, Log In Procedure, for

details.)

The Acknowlege Keys may also require passcodes to acknowledge abnormal conditions. If you press an cACK>

key with insufficient access, an error message will be displayed. The points will scroll with cACK> key pressing to

allow you to view the points on the list, but the points will not be acknowledged. (See Section 1, Log In Procedure

for details.)

POWER-UP SEQUENCE

Whenever power is applied to the panel, or when the microprocessor has been reset, the interface panel self-tests

its memory integrity and verifies card configurations. Next, the system displays the SYSTEM STARTUP IN
PROGRESS message, followed by a trouble condition. There is always one trouble condition when a warm or cold
start is performed on the system. Enter time and date to clear this trouble. Battery trouble conditions normally clear
automatically, approximately 90 seconds after system power is applied.

The green POWER ON LED illuminates approximately 30 seconds after AC power is applied to the system. Make
sure that the green LED is illuminated before connecting the battery power harness.

IMPORTANT

To power up the 4020 system, apply 120 VAC to the system. Wait until the GREEN POWER ON LED

has illuminated. Then connect the battery power harness.

To power down the 4020 system, disconnect battery power harness. Then turn the 120 VAC power OFF.

SECTION 9

www.BevanSecurity.Com

SYSTEM TEST PROCEDURES

NOTE: These procedures should be followed when the system is installed and during periodic testing as required

by code. Check local codes to determine how frequent your system should be tested. Always inform
appropriate personnel that you will be testing the system (city fire department, etc.).

LAMP TEST

The “LAMP TEST” push button on the interface panel is used to determine local lamp failures within the system.

Lamps on the 4020 operator interface panel illuminate along with the five function and acknowledge LEDs. All

segments on the LCD also change to squares. Perform the following procedures to determine lamp failures.

1. Press the “LAMP TEST” push button. All LEDs should illuminate (lamps should stay illuminated as long as
the push button is depressed). Holding the push button in for more than 3 seconds will test the tone-alert.

2. Perform an individual lamp test on all remote annunciators.

3. In the event of a lamp failure, call your local Simplex Branch Office for assistance.

Walk Test’”

Walk Test’” is a software-based function and is programmed to meet customer requirements. The system will pulse
the signals for alarm conditions, then reset. The signals will sound steady for 4 seconds to indicate trouble
conditions, then reset. A silent Walk Test” may be performed (no signals will sound) and logging of events may be
selected.

The auto reset/auto acknowledge operation allows for a one-man test without the need for someone at the operator
interface panel to acknowledge and reset the system. The Walk Test’” mode also bypasses many of the delays that
are inherent to the normal reset procedure, thereby allowing for a faster test. The automatic reset (5 second power
drop) only occurs on the zone that comes in after a configurable time delay (default = 15 seconds). This delay can
be optimally set (with a Programming Unit) for the time it should take for a zone to clear (i.e., magnet vs. smoke
tester).

If an alarm condition is detected from a zone that is not in the present active Walk Test’” group, the system will
operate as a fire alarm panel and active Walk Test’” groups are aborted. The system has an automatic abort or time­out for the Walk Test’” mode. If no zone within the active Walk Test’” group is activated within 8 hours, the system
will abort the Walk Test’” mode and return to normal.

Walk Test’” BY GROUP

The 4020 will support up to eight Walk Test’“groups. This allows the building to be divided into small portions for the
Walk Test’“, and allows the rest of the building to be protected by the fire alarm panel. Each group has a list of monitor
zones and signal circuits which activate when selected.

If you select the Walk Test’” by group mode, a system trouble will be reported to remind you that the Walk Test’” mode
is enabled.

Whenever a Walk Test’” group is aborted, manually or automatically, the panel will sound the abort signal (three sets
of two short pulses) to indicate that group is going back into service. If a control point in the list is already active
(because of an abnormal condition), it is not used to signal the abort. The group is placed into normal operation 60
seconds after the abort signal is heard. This delay protects against an unwanted alarm should an automatic abort
occur while a device is being tested.

The system is default-programmed to allow the Walk Test’” to be performed without sounding audible signals. When
Walk Test’” is selected, a point list is generated which does not contain audible signals. This list may be completely
empty. (See “Sig/No Sig” in this section.)

51

The Walk Test’” will not activate any point which is disabled. Therefore, you have the ability to manually exclude any

www.BevanSecurity.Com

point from the test. (See “How to Disable a Point”.)

You may enable the logging of Walk Test’” events, which allows each zone with an abnormal condition to be time
tagged and added to the trouble log. This is beneficial when a 100% silent Walk Test’“, without visuals, is required.
When testing the devices, use the alarm LED on the smoke detector, or a simple delay, to know when to continue
to the next device. After test completion, check the log to verify that all zones activated the correct number of times
and in the correct order.

ZONE CODING OPTION

The system supports two types of audible signalling to indicate an alarm condition on a zone. By default, “zone
coding” is used. This code matches the “ZONE” number associated with that point. The zone code is only used the

first time a zone is reported. For subsequent alarms on the same zone, a single “0 CODE” (two short pulses) is used.

Examples of Zone Coding are shown below.

---

-

- - = Zone 12 (one long, pause, two long pulses)

- - mm

= Zone 3 (three long pulses)

= Zone 20 (two long and two short pulses)

- I I - - = Zone 102 (one long, two short, and two long pulses)

NOTE: Zero Code = 2 short pulses

Zone coding may be disabled for each of the eight Walk Test’” groups, Group 0 through Group 7, using the interface

panel’s display. When zone coding is disabled (<F3> key to ZERO), a “0” code is always used, even for the first
alarm. This method of testing is more appropriate for maintenance testing, once all wiring is verified.

When a control point is pulsed by Walk Test’“, it is done without affecting the priority of that point regardless of its
present value. This guarantees that Walk Test’” does not interfere with any required SMPL (software) operations
during a real alarm.

MAPNET monitor devices sound zone code, with the first digit being the channel number, followed by the device’s

address number. Example: Ml -1 sounds a 1 ,l code. M2-123 sounds a 2, 1, 2, 3 code. MAPNET@ signal devices I
cannot annunciate codes.

SILENT Walk Test’”

The control points to be activated (pulsed) during WalkTest’” are determined by the contents of the control lists which

are configured when programmed. Several options are available when configuring a silent Walk Test” control list.

The first option is to NOT put any audible signals into the control list. The second option is to disable the audible

control points from the front panel, one at a time. The last option is to use the “NO<sig” option (controlled by the
cF4> key) when in the Walk Test’” menu. If this last option is selected, none of the points in the control list will code
(see “Sig/No Sig”).

ENTERING Walk Test’” MODE

Walk Test’” is enabled through the interface panel’s alpha-numeric LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Walk Test”’ is

passcode protected. The Walk Test’” menu will not appear unless the operator is at the proper access level. To enter
one of these levels, press the menu key, select the “Change Access Level” option, press the cFl> key to log in, and
then type in the correct passcode for the level you desire.

www.BevanSecurity.Com

<F3> Key - Allows you to choose between Zone Coding and Zero Coding. In Zone Coding, a PNIS

code for the tested zone is played (e.g., Zone 12 is code l-2). In Zero Coding, two quick
pulses (code 0) are heard. In both cases, when a trouble is reported from a zone, the signal
circuits turn ON for 4 seconds.

l

eF4> Key - Enables/disables silent Walk Test”. When this key is pressed, it toggles the system to

audible Walk Test’“, where the signal circuits are turned ON to play the codes selected with

the <F3> key, described above. Silent Walk Test’” is used in conjunction with the logging

function when audible signals might disturb the building occupants.

During the Walk Test’“, the first line of the LCD shows changes, including the status of the device under test. The

second line of the LCD shows device status.

Walk Test’” OPERATION

When the 4020 system is placed in Walk Test’” mode, any zone in the active Walk Test’” group(s) can be tested in
any order. If zone coding is enabled, there is an advantage in testing all devices within one zone before going on to
the next zone.

You should simulate an alarm and trouble condition for each device being tested. If you are using an audible or visual
indication, wait for it to clear before you test the next device. Otherwise, wait for an appropriate amount of time
(based on the system reset delay) before moving on to the next zone. The LED on a smoke detector helps you in

this area, because it indicates when the alarm is sensed, and when the detector resets. If zone coding is enabled,

verify that the code heard or seen is correct.

These features are discussed in the following paragraphs.

ABORT AUDIBLE AND DELAY ON REACTIVATION

Whenever a Walk Test” group is aborted, either manually or automatically, the control list sounds the abort code (O­O-O) to indicate that the group is going back into service. If a control point in the list is already active, possibly
because another alarm has come in, the abort code will play before the alarm message. The group is put back into
normal operating service 60 seconds after the abort signal is heard (if there are signals in the control list). This delay
protects against an unwanted alarm should an auto abort occur while a device is being tested.

ACTIVE/NOT ACTIVE

www.BevanSecurity.Com

The cFl> key on the interface panel is used to toggle ON and OFF a given Walk Test” group. All groups are initially

inactive at system start-up. Any number of groups can be enabled at any one time. When a Walk Test’” group is
enabled, its associated trouble pseudo point is turned ON and must be acknowledged. If multiple Walk Test’” groups
are required, press the trouble acknowledge key after all Walk Test’” groups are selected.

AUTO ABORT ON ALARM

When an alarm is detected from a zone that is not in the active Walk Test’” group, all normal control functions take
place and the active Walk Test’” group is aborted. When a Walk Test’” is aborted, the system sounds a zero code
three times.

AUTO ABORT ON TIME-OUT

If there has been no activity within an active Walk Test’” group for eight hours, the system aborts the Walk Test’”

automatically.

CONTROL LIST

A Control List is a point list that contains those control points (signals and/or relays) that are to be activated by a
Walk Test’” group. By default, this list is initially filled by the system for the first group, and includes all signal, visual,
or coded control points.

DELAYBEFORERESET

The programmer has the ability to set a Reset Time Delay. The delay time period starts after a zone alarm is detected
and runs until the detector is reset. The length of the delay may be from 15 to 60 seconds, and may be adjusted
depending on the method used to simulate an alarm. A longer value is desired if smoke is used to bring in each
detector. By default, the delay is set to 15 seconds.

LOGGING OPTION (LOG/NO LOG)

By default, the system enables the logging of Walk Test” events. When logging is enabled, each zone that comes
into alarm or trouble is time-tagged and added to the Historical Trouble Log. This is very beneficial in cases where
a 100% silent test is required. When testing, remember to record the identity and order of the devices tested. When
the Walk Test’” is finished, compare this record with the Historical Trouble Log and verify that all zones activated
correctly. The cF21 key is used to enable/disable the logging of Walk Test’” events to the Historical Trouble Log. By
default, logging is enabled.

If the system is configured for a printer and the PRINT REPORT option is selected, the Historical Trouble Log is

printed on the system printer.

MONITOR ZONE LIST

A Monitor Zone List is a point list that contains those monitor zones within a defined area of a building. This list is

initially filled by the system for the first group, and includes all monitor zones. It can be edited using the tag list feature
of the Programming Unit. An empty list signifies that a Walk Test’” group is not used. The programmer has the option
of changing the label of this point list so that it is more meaningful for panel operation. You cannot have the same
zone in more than one Walk Test’” group.

PROGRAMMER CONFIGURATION

www.BevanSecurity.Com

Walk Test’” is configured in the field with the Programming Unit. By default, Walk Test’” is protected at access level

3. The access level required to enable your Walk Test’” is shown on the Programmer’s Report. Walk Test’” groups
are selected from the LCD Main Menu. Selecting Walk Test’” on the Main Menu brings up the Walk Test’”

configuration screen which lists the setup for the Walk Test’” groups.

SIG/NO SIG (SILENT Walk Test’” SELECTION)

The cF4> key is used to enable the selection of the Silent Walk Test’“. By default, the Silent Walk Test’” is enabled.

SYSTEM TROUBLE

The Walk Test’” has the ability to test signal circuits for trouble (i.e., open/short) conditions. This is accomplished by

using the output Walk Test’” lists (L50 through L57) as the input lists for signal trouble conditions.

For example, if a signal circuit trouble occurs on a point in Walk Test” output list L50 (group 0), and Walk Test’” group
0 is enabled, the Walk Test’” trouble code will play on all signal circuits in Walk Test” list L50. Note that the signal
trouble is not inhibited. An actual trouble condition will occur at the operator interface panel, but will be logged as a
Walk Test’” trouble for that signal. This trouble automatically clears when the signal circuit is returned to normal in

global acknowledge systems. In individual acknowledge systems, point P4 (FORCE GLOBAL ACKNOWLEDGE)

must be turned ON before performing a signal circuit Walk Test”. If Walk Test’” is not enabled for the group containing
the signal circuit in trouble, the trouble condition passes through without playing the Walk Test’” code.

TROUBLE AUDIBLE

When a zone trouble is detected, the Walk Test’” signals sound continuously for four seconds.

ZONE CODE/ZERO CODE

The <F3> key is used to enable/disable Zone Coding. By default, Zone Coding is enabled.
