The purpose of this publication is to provide information concerning the proper
application of both heat and smoke detectors and sensors in conjunction with fire
alarm systems.

The information in this publication is intended to be used only as a technical
guide. The requirements of applicable codes and standards, as well as directives
of Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), should be followed.

Before installing detectors/sensors, make a survey of the area to be covered in
accordance with information provided in NFPA 72, Chapter 5 (an excerpt of
which is provided below). For specific applications, refer to Simplex
publication Common Code Requirements For Fire Alarm Systems (Publication
No. FA2-91-010). For additional information, refer to NFPA 72 and the NEMA
Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors.

Refer to each individual section shown in the Table of Contents for information
on specific products.

• Is there human occupancy?

• Contents to be protected.

• Type of construction and use.

• Burning characteristics of contents.

• Air movement - stratification.

• Deflections and obstructions.

• Height of ceilings.

• Surface conditions of ceilings.

• Type of ceiling construction.

• Total area.

• Vent locations - velocities - dilution.

Each detector/sensor is capable of providing up to 900 square feet (84 square
meters) of coverage, depending on:

1. Requirements of local codes.

2. Results of engineering evaluation.

3. Physical characteristics of protected area. For examples refer to the
following paragraphs of NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code 1999:

• 5-2.4.3 Beam Construction (for heat detector/sensors)

• 5-3.4.6.1 Flat Ceilings and 5-3.4.6.2 Sloped Ceilings

• A-5-3.4.6

INTRODUCTION

Special Considerations for
Smoke Detectors and Sensors

Smoke Detector/Sensor
Applications

2

Important: The guidelines in this section are adapted from standards published

by the National Fire Protection Association, Quincy,
Massachusetts, U. S. A. These standards include NFPA 72,
“National Fire Alarm Code”; NFPA 70, “National Electrical
Code”, Article 760; and NFPA 90A, “Standard for the Installation
of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems.”

To provide effective early warning of a developing fire situation, smoke
detectors/sensors should be installed in all areas of the protected premises. Total
coverage as defined by NFPA 72 should include all rooms, halls, storage areas,
basements, attics, lofts, and spaces above suspended ceilings including plenum
areas utilized as part of the HVAC system. In addition, this should include all
closets, elevator shafts, enclosed stairways, dumbwaiter shafts, chutes and other
subdivisions and accessible spaces.

Fire detection systems installed to meet local codes or ordinances may not be
adequate for early warning of the fire. Some codes or ordinances have minimum
objectives such as capturing elevators or preventing circulation of smoke
through HVAC systems instead of early detection of fire.

You should weigh the costs against the benefits of installing a complete fire
detection system when any detection system is being installed. The location,
quantity and zoning of detectors/sensors should be determined by what
objectives are desired rather than the minimum requirements of any local codes
or ordinances.

Detectors/sensors may be omitted from combustible blind spaces when any of
the following conditions prevail:

• Where the ceiling is attached directly to the underside of the supporting

beams of a combustible roof or floor deck.

• Where the concealed space is entirely filled with noncombustible insulation.

(In solid joist construction, the insulation need only fill the space from the
ceiling to the bottom edge of the joist of the roof or floor deck.)

• Where there are small concealed spaces over rooms, provided the space in

question does not exceed 50 square feet (4.6 square meters).

• In spaces formed by sets of facing studs or solid joists in walls, floors, or

ceilings where the distance between the facing studs or solid joists do not
exceed 6 inches (15 cm).

Detectors/sensors may also be omitted from below open grid ceilings where all
of the following conditions are met:

• The openings of the grid are at least 1/4 inch (6 mm) in the smallest

dimension.

• The thickness of the material does not exceed the smallest of the grid

openings.

• The openings constitute at least 70% of the area of the ceiling material.

Detectors/sensors are usually required or recommended underneath open loading
docks or platforms and their covers, and in accessible underfloor areas in
buildings without basements. Detectors/sensors may be omitted from
combustible blind spaces when all of the following conditions prevail:

1. The space is not accessible for storage purposes, it is protected against the
entrance of unauthorized persons, and it is protected against the
accumulation of windblown debris.

2. The space contains no equipment/structures (such as steam pipes, electrical
wiring, ducts, shafts, or conveyors) that could potentially ignite or conduct
the spread of fire.

3. The floor over the space is tight.

4. Non flammable liquids are processed, handled, or stored on the floor above
the space.

“Total coverage,” as described in NFPA 72, is the definition of a complete fire
detection system. In some of the specified areas of coverage, such as attics, closets,
under open loading docks or platforms, a heat detector may be more appropriate
than a smoke detector. Careful consideration should be given to the detector
manufacturer’s instructions and the following recommendations in this guide.

In general, when only one detector/sensor is required in a room or space, the
detector/sensor should be placed as close to the center of the ceiling as possible.
Central location of the detector/sensor is best for sensing smoke and/or fire in any
part of the room. If a center location is not possible, it may be placed no closer
than 4 inches (10 cm) from the wall, or if listed for wall mounting, it may be
mounted on the wall. Wall mounted detectors/sensors should be located
approximately 4 to 12 inches (10 to 30 cm) from the ceiling to the top of the
detector, and at least 4 inches (10 cm) from any corner wall junction (see Figure 1).

When an air supply and/or an air return duct opening is present in a room or
space, the detector/sensor(s) should be placed in the path of the air flow toward
the return air duct opening (see Figure 2).

Smoke tests are helpful in determining proper placement. Special attention
should be given to smoke travel directions and velocity, since either can affect
detector/sensor performance.

Placement of a detector/sensor near air conditioning or incoming air vents can
also cause excessive accumulation of dust and dirt on the detector/sensor. This
dirt can cause the detector/sensor to malfunction and cause nuisance alarms.
Detectors/sensors should not be located closer than 3 feet (0.9 m) from an air
supply diffuser.

Spot type detectors/sensors, in properly engineered systems, may also be placed in
return air ducts, or in approved duct detector housings designed for this application.
Although duct detectors are not a substitute for open area detectors, they can provide
an effective method of initiating building control functions to prevent smoke from
being transported from the fire area to other parts of a building.

One of the major causes of nuisance alarms is improper placement of
detectors/sensors. The best way to avoid nuisance alarms is to not install
detectors/sensors in environments that can cause them to malfunction. See Table 1
and examples given below.

DO NOT PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS:

• In excessively dusty or dirty areas, such as feed rooms, steel mills, etc. Dust
and dirt can accumulate on the detector/sensor’s sensing chamber and make it
overly sensitive, or block the air entrances to the sensing chamber and make the
detector/sensor less sensitive to smoke. Be especially careful to avoid areas
where fumigants, fog or mist-producing materials, or sweeping and cleaning
compounds are used. These substances may cause nuisance alarms.

• Outdoors, in stables, open storage sheds, or other open structures affected
by dust, air currents, or excessive humidity and temperature.

• In damp or excessively humid areas, or next to bathrooms with showers.
Water droplets can accumulate inside the sensing chamber and make the
detector/sensor overly sensitive. A tremendous amount of humid air is
produced during a hot shower. The moisture in this humid air can enter the
sensing chamber as water vapor, then cool and condense into droplets that
can cause a nuisance alarm.

• In elevator lobbies over ashtrays or where people will smoke while waiting
for the elevator.

DO NOT PLACE DETECTORS/SENSORS:

• In very cold or very hot environments, or in unheated buildings or rooms
where the temperature can fall below or exceed the operating temperature
range of the detector/sensor. At temperatures below 32° F (0° C), ice
crystals or condensation can appear inside the sensing chamber and make it
overly sensitive or cause a nuisance alarm. At temperatures above the
operating range of the detector/sensor, greater than 120° F (49° C), its
internal components may not function properly.

• In or near areas where combustion particles are normally present, such as in
kitchens or other areas with ovens and burners; in garages, where particles
of combustion are present in vehicle exhausts; within 15 feet (4.5 meters) of
any type of furnace, hot water heater, or gas space heater; or in welding
shops or other types of work areas where some form of combustion is used
in the activity normally conducted in that area. When a detector must be
located in or adjacent to such an area, a fixed temperature heat detector may
be appropriate.

• In air streams passing by or through kitchens. Air often enters a residence
or a residential unit of an apartment building through cracks around the front
and/or back doors. If the air return is in the bedroom hallway or in the
bathroom, and if air from the kitchen easily enters the air stream going from
the door to the air return, combustion particles from cooking can cause
nuisance alarms. Install detectors/sensors so that they protect the bedrooms,
but so they are out of the air stream.

• In or near manufacturing areas, battery rooms, or other areas where
substantial quantities of vapors, gases or fumes may be present. Strong
vapors, like excessive humidity, can make detectors/sensors overly sensitive
or less sensitive than normal. In very large concentrations, gases heavier
than air, such as carbon dioxide, may make detectors/sensors more sensitive,
while gases lighter than air, such as helium, may make them less sensitive.
Aerosol particles may collect on detector/sensor chamber surfaces and cause
nuisance alarms.

• Insect-infested areas. If insects enter a detector/sensor’s sensing chamber,
they can cause a nuisance alarm. Take proper insect eradication procedures
before installing detectors/sensors in such locations. If spraying is done, do
not allow insect spray to enter the detectors/sensors.

• Near fluorescent light fixtures. Electrical noise generated by fluorescent
light fixtures may cause nuisance alarms. Install detectors/sensors at least
1 foot (0.3 meters) away from such light fixtures.

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) has three standards for smoke detectors: one for
duct detectors/sensors, UL 268A; one for single and multiple station
detectors/sensors, UL 217; and one for system type detectors/sensors, UL 268.
Detectors/sensors should only be used in the applications for which they are
specifically listed.

The 1997 NFPA 101 Life Safety Code notes in Section 7-6.2.10, that single
station smoke detectors shall sound an alarm only within an individual living
unit or similar area and shall not actuate the building fire alarm system.
Section 7-6.1.5 states, “All systems and components shall be approved for
the purpose for which they are installed.”

In addition to possible code noncompliance, the following deficiencies would
exist in a series of residential smoke detectors connected in a fire alarm
system mode:

• Since the fire alarm system is not supervised, vandals or others could
disconnect a detector or the entire system, leaving a building without
protection. The residents would be unaware of the serious life threatening
condition.

• Residential detectors do not latch in alarm. In other words, the detector
self-resets. One detector in alarm will sound all the detectors connected
together. It would be difficult to identify or locate a specific detector that
initially put the system into alarm after the alarm condition was cleared.

System detectors/sensors latch in alarm. They do not reset until power is
momentarily disconnected. This makes it convenient to identify the location of
the detector/sensor that caused the control panel to alarm. In addition, system
detectors are specifically designed to connect to a supervised control panel.
Two-wire detectors require a UL compatibility review to verify that the detector
and panel properly operate together. A typical life safety fire alarm system for
an apartment complex would be to use system detectors/sensors and manual fire
alarm stations in the hallways and common areas of the complex and residential
single station type detectors and heat detectors in the individual apartments. The
system detectors/sensors, manual stations and heat detectors would be connected
to a supervised control panel, sound a general alarm and automatically notify the
proper authorities that a fire condition exists. The residential detectors located
in the apartments would be interconnected only within the individual living
quarters of each apartment. These residential units would sound an alarm only in
the apartment unit.

This section describes how the different types of detectors and sensors work.
For additional information on TrueAlarm sensor operation, refer to the
TrueAlarm Concepts publication (PER-91-024).

The heat detector senses the heat or the rate-of-rise in the air temperature of the
environment in which it is located. The heat detector is comprised of electronic
circuitry and a mechanical package that is designed to sense the rate-of-rise of
the air temperature in an expedient and reliable fashion. Upon detection of an
abnormal increase in air temperature, or rate-of-rise in air temperature, the
electronics indicate an alarm by increasing the amount of current draw from the
monitor zone it is connected to. The monitor zone is a supervised detection
circuit that is tied back to a main control panel that takes appropriate action to
indicate an alarm has been reported, if the zone current is substantially increased.

Being of an electronic design, the temperature of the air is sensed by using two
negative temperature coefficient thermistors. The resistance of the thermistors
goes down with an increase in temperature. One thermistor is placed in a
position such as to sense the open air temperature very rapidly (RT1). The
second thermistor is positioned in a small cavity that protrudes out from the main
body of the detector (RT2). The location of RT2 allows for fast detection of a
quick change in the air temperature, but yet for a slow or medium rate of
temperature change, the detector will not trip due to the rate-of-rise feature. For
a slower change in temperature, the detector trips into alarm due to a set fixed
temperature that is sensed by RT1. For a fast temperature rise, when a
difference in temperature sensed by RT1 and RT2 has reached a predetermined
amount, the detector trips into alarm.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Heat Detector Operation

These devices operate on a light scattering principle. The smoke sensing
chamber contains an infrared LED source with a peak spectral emission of 880
nanometers. This source is placed at an angle from a spectrally matched
photodiode receiver. During a NO SMOKE condition, only light reflected from
the chamber walls enters the receiver and shows up as a small photocurrent. As
smoke particles enter the sensing chamber and cross the light beam of the LED,
more light reaches the receiver due to scattering. The receiver circuitry converts
this photocurrent into a signal voltage. In a detector, when this voltage reaches a
preset level, an alarm is produced. In a sensor, this signal voltage goes into an
8-bit, A to D (analog to digital) converter. A digital representation of this signal
voltage is then transmitted to the fire alarm panel for further processing.

These devices use a small radiation source, Americium-241, which emits alpha
particles that ionize air molecules between two electrically charged electrodes.
With the application of a DC voltage to these electrodes, a small ionization
current flows within the chamber. As smoke enters the chamber, a decrease in
ionization current results. This current is converted into a signal voltage by a
transimpedance circuit. In a detector, when this signal voltage drops below a
preset level, an alarm is produced. In a sensor, this signal voltage goes into an
8-bit A to D (analog to digital) converter. A digital representation of this signal
voltage is then transmitted to the fire alarm panel for further processing.

This section contains specification and mounting information for the smoke
detectors shown in Table 2.

CAUTION: Install the detectors described in these instructions in accordance

with applicable NFPA standards, local codes, and the Authorities
Having Jurisdiction (AHJs). Failure to follow these instructions
may result in failure of the detector to initiate an alarm condition.
Simplex is not responsible for detectors that have been improperly
installed, tested, or maintained.

Limitations of Smoke Detectors: The smoke detectors used with these
bases are designed to activate and initiate emergency action, but will do so only
when used in conjunction with other equipment. They are designed for
installation in accordance with NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm Code 1999.

Smoke detectors will not work without power. AC or DC powered smoke
detectors will not work if the power supply is cut off for any reason.

Smoke detectors will not sense fires when smoke does not reach the detectors.
Smoke from fires in chimneys, in walls, on roofs or on the other side of closed
doors may not reach the smoke detector and alarm it.

A detector may not detect a fire developing on another level of a building. For
this reason, detectors should be located on every level of a building.

Smoke detectors have sensing limitations, too. Ionization detectors are better at
detecting fast, flaming fires than slow, smoldering fires. Photoelectric detectors
sense smoldering fires better than flaming fires. Because fires develop in
different ways, and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of
detector is always best, and a given detector may not always provide warning of
a fire. In general, detectors cannot be expected to provide warning for fires
resulting from inadequate fire protection practices, violent explosions, escaping
gases, improper storage of flammable liquids like cleaning solvents, other safety
hazards, or arson.

Smoke detectors cannot last forever. Smoke detectors contain electronic parts.
Even though detectors are made to last for many years, any of these parts could
fail at any time. Therefore, test your smoke detector system per NFPA 72 at
least annually. Clean and take care of your smoke detectors regularly.

All smoke detectors identified in Table 2 mount to a detector base (refer to the
4098 Detector Bases section of this publication for more information). Use the
following considerations and Figure 3 when mounting smoke detectors.

IMPORTANT: Smoke must enter the chamber of the detector. Thus, air flow,

air stratification, air velocity, air stagnation, and air migration
will affect detector efficiency. Therefore:

• Do not install detectors in areas where temperatures are likely to exceed

100° F (38° C) or fall below 32° F (0° C).

• Because the 4098-9602 detector combines heat sensing, DO NOT install

this detector in locations where the ambient temperatures exceed 100° F
(38° C) or where temperature fluctuations above 6° F/min. occur.

• Do not install detectors on a ceiling within 4 inches (10 cm) of a wall.

• Do not install detectors where forced air ventilation may dilute the

smoke before it reaches the detector.

• Do not install detectors in areas where smoke is normally present

(kitchens, furnace rooms, laundry rooms, loading docks, rooms with
fireplaces, rooms with candles, soldering rooms, etc.).

• Do not install detectors in areas where there is likely to be steam (in

hospital patient rooms with vaporizers, near shower rooms, above large
sinks, etc.).

• Do not install detectors above ashtrays in elevator lobbies.

• Wall-mounted detectors should be located 4 to 12 inches (10-30.5 cm)

from the ceiling to detector head.

• Protect all detector heads during construction to avoid infiltration of

construction debris! Remove any protective covers before activating
the system.

• If using the adapter plate, tighten the mounting screws without warping

the adapter plate.

General Mounting Notes

14

This section contains general notes, specifications, and mounting information for
the heat detectors shown in Table 3.

WARNING: Heat detectors are NOT life-safety devices; USE HEAT

DETECTORS FOR PROPERTY PROTECTION ONLY! For
life-safety requirements, use smoke detectors.

General Notes:

1. For all heat detectors, provide electronic supervision with battery back-up at
the fire alarm control panel.

2. Where the possibility of positive airflow from the electrical conduit/junction box
exists, seal the conduit openings with 3M Weatherban #606 (or equivalent), a
non-flammable sealing compound.

3. Refer to NFPA 72 for application, test, and maintenance requirements.

Fixed Temperature Heat Detectors

Simplex electronic fixed temperature heat detectors use a fast response, thermistor
based design to provide temperature sensing that quickly, accurately, and
consistently identifies when fixed temperatures are exceeded. For this reason, the
fixed temperature detectors are recommended for most applications. With a UL
spacing distance of 60 X 60 feet, the fixed temperature electronic heat detectors
will replace both mechanical fixed as well as mechanical ROR heat detectors.

ROR Temperature Heat Detectors

Simplex electronic rate-of-rise heat detectors detect fixed temperature alarm
thresholds the same as the fixed temperature heat detectors, plus detect a rate-of­rise alarm with a patented rate-of-rise detection design that can quickly respond to
sudden temperature variations. Due to the nature of the fast response to
temperature changes, care must be taken for proper installation of ROR heat
detectors. Rate-of-rise heat detectors should be installed in stable environmentally
controlled areas. These detectors must not be installed where hot or cold air can be
blown on them (near ductwork, industrial equipment, air vents etc.). Rate-of-rise
detectors should not be installed where more then 12 deg. F per minute
temperature changes can normally occur.

FEATURES:

• Rate-of-Rise and Fixed Temperature (see Table 3)

• Alarm LED

• Compatible with 2-Wire Initiating Device Circuits

• Current-Limited Alarm State

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

• Typical Standby Current - 80 Microamps

• Typical Alarm Current - 40 Milliamps

• Maximum Current - 80 Milliamps while in alarm state

• Operating Range - 15-32 VDC

The 4098-9788 base is designed to be used with Simplex smoke and heat
detectors, as well as the QuickConnect2 photo sensor. To use a 4-wire
configuration, you must use the 4098-9682 relay base. Heat detectors require
the 4098-9684 base when used with a remote LED. This section only covers the
information necessary to mount and wire these base configurations. Before
installing these bases, make a survey of the area to be covered in accordance
with information provided in NFPA 72, Chapter 5. For specific applications,
refer to the Common Code Requirements for Fire Alarm Systems (Simplex Pub.
No. FA2-91-010). For additional information, refer to NFPA 72 and the NEMA
Guide for Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors.

CAUTION: Install the bases in this section in accordance with applicable

NFPA standards, local codes, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction
(AHJs). Failure to follow these instructions may result in failure of
the detector to initiate an alarm condition. Simplex is not
responsible for detectors that have been improperly installed,
tested, or maintained.

The 4098-9788 base mounts to a 4-inch octagonal, 4-inch square, or single gang
electrical box. When mounting to a 4-inch square or any surface mounted box,
the 4098-9832 adapter plate kit must be used (see Figure 3).

1. Smoke sensor sensitivities are set and continuously monitored by the control
unit. The sensitivity range (setting) for the 4098-9714 and 4098-9754 sensor
is 0.2%/FT to 3.7%/FT smoke obscuration. The sensitivity range (setting) for
4098-9717 sensors is 0.5%/FT to 1.3%/FT.

2. The 0.2%/FT, 0.5%/FT, and 1.0%/FT settings for the 4098-9714 and 4098-9754
sensor and the 0.5%/FT and 0.9%/FT settings for the 4098-9717 sensor are for
special applications only. The 0.2%/FT, 0.5%/FT, 0.9%/FT, and 1.0%/FT
settings are very sensitive settings: only use the 0.2%/FT setting when a

sensor is located in a totally smoke-free and controlled temperature
environment, such as a computer room or telephone switching exchange.

3. To determine if an area is suitable for the 0.2%/FT setting, set the sensitivity
for the installed sensor at 1.5%/FT and monitor the peak values for 90 days.
If you record a peak value of 0.1%FT or higher during the 90 days, do not
use the 0.2%/FT setting.

4. To determine if an area is suitable for the 0.5%/FT setting, set the sensitivity
for the installed sensor at 1.5%/FT and monitor the peak values for 90 days.
If you record a peak value of 0.25%FT or higher during the 90 days, do not
use the 0.5%/FT setting.

5. To determine if an area is suitable for the 0.9%/FT or 1.0%/FT setting, set
the sensitivity for the installed sensor at 1.3%/FT (ION)/ 1.5%/FT (Photo)
and monitor the peak values for 90 days. If you record a peak value of

0.5%FT or higher during the 90 days, do not use the 0.9%/FT (ION) or

1.0%/FT (Photo) settings.

All sensors identified in Table 5 mount to a sensor base (refer to the 4098
TrueAlarm Bases section of this publication for more information). Use the
following notes and Figure 3 when mounting TrueAlarm sensors.

TrueAlarm smoke/heat sensor bases are connected to a 2120 Multiplex
Communicating Device Transponder (CDT), 4020, 4100+, 4120, or 4010 panel by a
single wire pair (MAPNET II/IDNet). The 4098-9792, -9789, -9793, and -9796
bases and their sensors obtain both power and data over MAPNET II/IDNet wiring.
The 4098-9791 sensor base requires 24VDC power for relay operation and the
4098-9794 and 4098-9795 sensor base with sounder requires 24 VDC or
Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) power. The 4098-9791, -9794, -9795, and

-9796 are NOT compatible with the 2120 CDT. The 4098-9793 is only compatible
with the 4010 panel.

label that identifies its physical location within a building. The base’s address and
location must match up with the address listed in the specification sheets of the
2120 Job Configuration Report or the Programmer’s Report for the 4020, 4100+,
4120, or 4010 System. See Figure 9 for DIP Switch location for 4098-9789, ­9791, -9792, -9793, and -9796 Sensor Bases. See Figure 10 for DIP Switch

Note: The 4098-9794 Sounder Base and 4098-9795 Multi-Sensor Sounder Base

have a 9-position DIP Switch. The first eight DIP Switches set the
sounder base address. Dip Switch position 9 is set to OFF or ON
depending upon the sounder base power source. When the sounder base
is connected to a 24 VDC power source, DIP switch position 9 is set to
“OFF” and the 24 VDC power is supervised by the sounder base. When
the sounder base is powered by the panel’s Notification Appliance Circuit
(NAC), DIP Switch position 9 is set to “ON” and the power is supervised
by the NAC and not the sounder base.

1. Using the 2120 Job Configuration Report, find the entry for the sensor base
(4098-9792 and 4098-9789 only) you are about to install. The CUSTOM
LABEL column provides the location while the DEVICE ADDRESS column
provides the switch setting data.

2. Using the switch setting data for the base you are installing, set the base’s
address. See Figure 9 for location of switches. Use a small screwdriver or
pen to set the switches.

3. Double-check the location of the sensor base and its address before
proceeding to electrical installation (see Figure 3).

1. Using the Programmer’s Report for the 4020 (Figure 11), 4100+, 4120 or
4010 (Figure 12), find the entry for the sensor base you are about to install.
The device ADDRESS and CUSTOM LABEL are located in the SYSTEM
POINT SUMMARY under “M.”

For example, Address M1-7 (for the 4100+, 4120, or 4010 system) is circled in
Figure 12. M1 is the addressable channel while -7 is the device address on the
channel. For a base with Address M1-7, Address 7 must be set on the base’s DIP
switches (SW1).

2. Using the example given in Step 1 as guideline, set the base’s address using
the information in Figure 13. See Figure 9 and 10 for location of switches.
Use a small screwdriver or pen to set the switches.

3. Mark an address label with the appropriate address for your base by shading
a label box for each base DIP switch in the ON position. Then apply the
label to the base near the base’s DIP switch.

4. Double-check the location of the sensor base and its address before
proceeding to electrical installation.

The Multi-Sensor Bases 4098-9795 and -9796 are only for use with the
4098-9754 multi-sensor and are not

compatible with the 2120 CDT. Both bases
have remote LED output and the 4098-9795 also has an integrated sounder
similar to the 4098-9794 Sounder Base.

The Multi-Sensor Base answers to two addresses, therefore the DIP switch must
be set for even addresses only

. The even address is a photo sensor/sounder base
(4098-9795) or a photo sensor/standard base (4098-9796), and the odd address
(DIP switch + 1) is a heat sensor/standard base. Figure 14 shows the allowable
addresses for the Multi-Sensor Bases.

Important: Switch position 1 is not used and must always be OFF (0) for the

Multi-Sensor Bases to function properly. The odd address
immediately after the DIP switch setting must not be used by any
other sensor base or MAPNET/IDNet device.

Overview

General Notes

Specifications

The 4098-9757 QuickConnect2 sensor requires the 4098-9788 base. 4098-9710
and 4098-9713 QuickConnect sensors do not require a base, these sensors are
designed for ease of installation without sensor bases.

QuickConnect sensors are connected to a 4010, 4020, 4100+, or 4120 panel by a
single wire pair (MAPNET II/IDNet). The 4098-9710 QuickConnect sensor and
4098-9757 QuickConnect2 sensor are only compatible with the 4010 and obtains
both power and data over IDNet wiring. The 4098-9713 QuickConnect Sensor
with Sounder also requires the 24 VDC for sounder operation and is NOT
compatible with the 2120 CDT.

Each QuickConnect sensor has a unique address. This address is associated with
a custom label that identifies its physical location within a building. The
sensor’s address and location must match up with the address listed in the
Programmer’s Report for the 4010, 4020, 4100+, or 4120 system.

Use the method described in the “4098 TrueAlarm Sensor Base/Address Setting
for the 4010, 4020, 4100+ or 4120” section of this publication to complete the
sensor setup. Refer to Figure 17 for the location of the dip switches. Double­check the location of the QuickConnect sensor and its address before proceeding
to electrical installation (see Figures 18 and 19).

Caution: Do not loop wire under terminals. Break wire runs to provide supervision.

Notes:

1. Feed the wires through the hole of the mounting plate.

2. Fasten the mounting plate to the electrical box or adapter plate
as shown, with tabs facing towards devices.

3. Connect the wires to the terminal strip (provided loose)
according to Figure 18.

4. Connect terminal strip to the pin strip on the QuickConnect
sensor.

5. Fit the QuickConnect sensor to the adapter plate pushing the
wires back into the electrical box and give a clockwise turn to
attach.

6. Using the relay module requires a 1½-inch extension ring (not
supplied) mounted to the 4-inch square or octagonal electrical
box to meet the space requirement of the relay cube and its
wires. The relay module cannot be used in single-gang
electrical box installations. The relay module 4098-9822
MUST BE installed in the electrical box directly behind the
QuickConnect2 sensor.

The minimal requirement for detector and sensor maintenance should consist of
clearing surface dust by using a vacuum cleaner. Cleaning programs should
comply with NFPA and local environments. Cleaning of the internal chamber
should only be done by a Simplex Technical Representative. For smoke
detectors, refer to FSB-458R for maintenance instructions.

For service, return to your local Simplex branch office.

Smoke sensor sensitivities are set and continuously monitored by the control unit.
Dirty or out-or-range sensors are annunciated by the control unit. This
functionality complies with NFPA 72, Chapter 7. When functional testing of the
detectors and sensors is required per NFPA 72, use the test methods listed below.

Note: When testing detectors/sensors, refer to NFPA 72, Chapter 7 or contact

your local Simplex branch office.

Caution: Before functionally testing the detectors/sensors, be sure to

disconnect the city connection, releasing devices, and extinguishing
systems (or for the 4020, 4010, 4100+, or 4120 panel, put the panel
in the Walk Test mode).

Preferred Method of Testing Smoke Detectors/Sensors

NFPA minimally requires annual testing of smoke detectors/sensors at their
installed location using smoke. To perform this annual test, use the 553-394
Extendable Smoke Generator. If the device’s sensitivity is outside the marked
range found on the device’s label, clean the device, and then retest.

Important: After testing detectors, reset the fire alarm panel to restore the fire

alarm system to normal status. After testing sensors, you must
clear the peak values.

Alternate Method of Testing Sensors

The following test method is suitable for functional checks of sensor bases or
QuickConnect sensors during installation; however, testing with smoke must be
performed to comply with NFPA requirements.

For all sensor bases, with the exception of the 4098-9794 and 4098-9795
sounder bases, position the 553-810 Magnet Tester ½” to ¾” counterclockwise
from the visible LED found on the sensor base (see Figure 23).

For the 4098-9757 QuickConnect2 photo sensor, position the 553-810 Magnet
Tester as shown in Figure 24.

For the 4098-9794 and 4098-9795 sounder bases, position the 553-810 Magnet
Tester next to the embossed “TEST” location on the base.

Testing a sensor with a magnet reports a value of 255 for actual / peak
(exception 4010 panel). Clear the peak value after testing.

Note: For 4098-9795 and 4098-9796 Multi-Sensor Bases both photo and heat

addresses (even and odd) must alarm.

Magnetic Test for Photoelectric Detectors

The 4098 photoelectric detectors may be tested by placing a magnet above the
location indicated by a “” mark embossed on the cover (see Figure 24) for four
(4) seconds. Use the Simplex Magnetic Tester (Part No. 553-810), Table 10, and
the following information to test detectors.

Table 10 describes the LED reaction during Normal and MAG TEST modes to
the Normal, More Sensitive, Less Sensitive, and Non-Functional states of the
detector.

When placing the magnet at the location indicated by a “” mark embossed on
the cover, the visible LED flashes indicating the detector's condition. The
following are descriptions of what you should see when using the MAG TEST.

• NORMAL - When in MAG TEST, the detector latches into alarm if the

detector is within calibration range and the visible LED stays ON.

• MORE SENSITIVE - When in MAG TEST, if the detector is more

sensitive than the maximum calibration, the visible LED quickly flashes,
twice a second. Following the sixth flash, the detector latches into alarm
and the visible LED stays ON.

• LESS SENSITIVE - When in MAG TEST, if the detector is less sensitive

than the minimum calibration, the visible LED slowly flashes four times,
once every two seconds. Following the fourth flash, the detector latches
into alarm and the visible LED stays ON.

• NON-FUNCTIONAL DETECTOR - If the detector is less sensitive than

the minimum allowable sensitivity or if there is a fault in the temperature
sensing circuit (4098-9602), the visible LED does not flash normally. When
in MAG TEST, the visible LED slowly flashes four times, once every two
seconds. After the fourth flash, the detector does NOT latch into alarm and
the LED stops flashing and turns OFF.

If the detector is out of the normal operating range, it should be cleaned. If
the detector still indicates as other than normal sensitivity, replace the
detector.

Magnetic Test for Ionization Detectors

The 4098 Ionization Detectors may be tested with a magnet to verify proper
operation of the Fire Alarm Control Panel.

Note: When ionization detectors alarm, the red LED indicator activates and

latches into the ON position.

Place a magnet against the detector’s side (over the location marked by a “” on
the head of the ionization detector) and hold for ten seconds to activate an
internal reed switch. Use the Simplex Magnet Tester (Part No. 553-810).

Ion Detector Sensitivity Test

Plug the 553-832 Ion Detector Test Cable into the Detector’s sensitivity voltage
pins located on the Ion Detector Head. Perform the following steps to test the
Ion detector’s sensitivity:

1. Connect a 10M/V digital voltmeter to the 553-832 test cable, connect the
negative terminal of the voltmeter to the red wire of the test cable and
connect the positive terminal of the voltmeter to the white wire of the test
cable. The black wire of the 553-832 test cable is not used.

2. The voltage measured by the voltmeter should be within 0.2 and 0.8 volts.

Detectors outputting a voltage outside this range should be cleaned or
replaced.

3. If the Ion Detector voltage output is outside of the range, it should be

removed and cleaned as described in the cleaning section. Re-check the
voltage measurement on the Ion Detector; if the Ion Detector is still outside
the voltage range after cleaning, replace the device.

If the device’s sensitivity is other than what is marked on the device’s label,
clean the device using a source of oil-free, filtered, compressed air such as
Dust-Off, Tech Duster, etc.

Caution: Notify appropriate building personnel prior to removing any

detectors/sensors from service.

Photoelectric Smoke Detector/Sensor Cleaning

Blow the compressed air through the open vents around the device so that air
enters and cleans the black chamber cover/insect screen assembly (Part No.
677-224) located beneath the white protective cover. If the device sensitivity is
still outside the marked range, remove the white protective cover of the device
and replace the black chamber cover/insect screen using Steps 1 through 5
below.

1. Using a flat-head screwdriver, release the four locking tabs inside the white
protective cover and lift the cover away from the device (see Figure 25).

REMOVE. Make sure the standoffs are not broken or bent. Ensure that the
LED and/or Thermistor are in a straight upright position and the Prism is
clean and secure in its holder after removing the cover.

4. When replacing the chamber cover - BE CAREFUL TO LINE UP ALL
APPROPRIATE SPACES WITH THE LED, PRISM, AND/OR
THERMISTOR. THE CHAMBER COVER MUST BE FULLY SEATED.

If the device’s sensitivity is still other than what is marked on the device’s label,
replace the device. If the sensitivity is within the marked range, go to Step 5.

5. Replace the white protective cover by lining up the locking tabs, the
positioning triangles (∆), and the LED and/or thermistor with appropriate
holes in the cover, and then press the white cover into place.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR QUICKCONNECT SENSORS

QuickConnect sensors are intended to be cleaned in place by using a source of
oil-free, filtered, compressed air such as Dust-Off, Tech Duster, etc. If the
device’s sensitivity is still other than what is marked on the device’s label,
replace the device.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR ION DETECTOR/SENSORS

Note

: Do not remove the Ion Detector/ Sensor protective cover.

Blow compressed air through the open vents around the device so that air enters
and cleans the black chamber cover assembly located beneath the white
protective cover. If the device sensitivity is still outside the marked range
replace the device and return the failed device to 130 Perinton Parkway,
Fairport, NY 14450-9199.

The TrueAlarm smoke sensor is a measuring device that sends data regarding
smoke density to the 4010, 4020, 4100, 4100+, and 2120 fire alarm control
panels (FACPs). The TrueAlarm heat sensor operates in a similar fashion, but
sends temperature data instead of smoke density data. The FACP uses this data
to determine whether a trouble has occurred.

The TrueAlarm sensor has two automatic trouble indications:

• Dirty

• Excessively Dirty

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

A “Smoke Sensor is Excessively Dirty” trouble condition is reported anytime the
average value of an individual sensor reaches a slightly higher set threshold
level. At this point, the FACP can no longer compensate for environmental
factors, and the sensitivity level may begin to drift. Although an “excessively
dirty” trouble is reported, the sensor continues to operate and reports an alarm
condition when one is detected.

In addition to the two automatic trouble conditions, the FACPs have digital
pseudo points that must be turned ON to allow a TrueAlarm sensor that is close
to being a dirty sensor to report as if it is “almost dirty.” 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.

Once a minute, the FACP software performs a self-alarm test of each TrueAlarm
sensor. The self-alarm test raises 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 is displayed for the specific
sensor.

Table 11 shows your responsibilities when certain trouble indications occur.

Table 11. TrueAlarm Troubles and Descriptions

Trouble Indication Description

Almost Dirty Using the front panel keys, it is possible for a

Simplex Technical Representative to turn ON a
digital pseudo point in the FACP that allows an
“almost dirty” sensor to report a trouble. Although
the “almost dirty” sensor is holding its sensitivity
level, you can schedule maintenance for the
sensor before the dirty sensor trouble occurs.

Dirty A “dirty” indication means that the sensor is

holding its sensitivity level, but that you should
schedule maintenance for the sensor. Clean the
sensor as required and, when necessary, call
Simplex for service.

Excessively Dirty The “excessively dirty” indication means that the

sensor is no lon

g

er compensating for dirt and dust.
Because nuisance alarms are possible with this
condition, sensors must be cleaned or replaced
immediately. When necessary, call Simplex for
service.

Self-Test Abnormal All FACP system sensors are automatically tested

once every minute. When a sensor fails to report
properly to the FACP, a “Self-Test Abnormal”
condition occurs. Since the sensor is not working
properly, it must be replaced. Replace it, or call
Simplex for service.
