4008-9122 (Beige) Control Panel with 24 LED Annunciator

(required for ULC applications)

Description

For areas requiring up to 200 addressable input devices and
up to 4 NACs, the Simplex 4008 Series fire alarm control
panels provide flexible initiating circuit monitoring,
extensive programmable control capability, and LCD
annunciated circuit-specific 20 character custom labels.

* See page 2 for additional ULC and MEA information. This product has been approved by

the California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) pursuant to Section 13144.1 of the California
Health and Safety Code. See CSFM Listing 7165-0026:318 for allowable values and/or
conditions concerning material presented in this document. It is subject to re-examination,
revision, and possible cancellation. Additional listings may be applicable, contact your local
Simplex product supplier for the latest status. Listings and approvals under Simplex Time
Recorder Co. are the property of Tyco Fire Protection Products.

Standard Feature Details

Addressable operation is provided by an IDNet

signaling line circuit (SLC) capable of communicating to up
to 200 addressable devices (points). Addressable devices
include: TrueAlarm smoke detecti on, heat detection, and
duct detection; supervised addressable modules for single
and multiple contact monitoring, manual stations, isolation
modules, and a remote signal module (see list on page 4.)
(Please note that this panel provides a limited TrueAlarm
operation feature set. For larger applications that require the
full comp lement of TrueAlar m features, contact your local
Simplex product supplier.)

Two, 2 A On-Board NACs provide conventional reverse

polarity operation, selectable as Class A or Class B, with
electronic control and overcurrent protection. Operation is
selectable for synchronized strobe or SmartSync
horn/strobe two wire operation. Horn cont rol can be
selected at the panel for: Temporal pattern coding, Steady
On, Slow March Time of 20 beats per minute (BPM), or
Fast March Time of 120 BPM. Note: When selected for
SmartSync horn/strobe control, March Time produces
60 BPM.

The 24 VDC Auxiliary output provides up to 500 mA

for system use. (Auxiliary output current is counted for
total power supply capacity.)

Standard Auxiliary Relay Outputs. Two relay outputs

are available, selectable as normally open or normally
closed, rated 2 A @ 30 VDC per below:

Aux Relay 1 is normally assigned to General Alarm
operation but is programmable (see page 7)

Aux Relay 2 (Trouble) is energized when Normal and is
de-energized with a Trouble condition.

Product Selection

Standard Feature Details (Continued)

On-Board Dual Line DACT. Operation can be selected

for Contact ID, SIA, 3/1, 4/2, and BFSK formats.
Reporting includes Alarm, Supervisory, Trouble, and AC
Failure. Operation includes automatic 24 hour test and
programmable power fail report delay.

Power Supply and Battery Charger. DC power output

is 3 A @ 24 VDC for panel use. The temperature
compensated battery charger (sealed lead-acid batteries
only) is rated for up to 25 Ah batteries per UL 864 and up
to 12.7 Ah per ULC-S527. (Up to 12.7 Ah batteries fit in
the cabinet, larger batteries require an external cabinet.)
Panel electronics can measure and display voltage and
current for the power supply, batteries and the battery
charger (standard and expansion power supply). Depleted
battery trouble is monitored and annunciated and depleted
battery cutout can be selected. Active battery status
monitor supervises charger operation.

Optional Feature Details

Expansion Power Supply. Provides 3 A total @

24 VDC, two additional 2 A NACs, and an additional
auxiliary power output of 500 mA. Output operation is the
same as on the standard power supply.

Expansion Relay Module. Provides three relays, one

each for Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble conditions.
Each is jumper selectable as N.O. or N.C. Contacts are
rated 2 A @ 30 VDC. Location is the same as for the City
Circuit Modules.

City Circuit Modules. These modules are available with

or without on-board disconnect switches, depending on
local requirements (either type can be disconnected
through the front panel under password control).
Connections are for Remote Station (reverse polarity) or
Municipal Master (local energy). Reporting includes
Alarm, Supervisory, and Trouble.

TrueAlarm Smoke Detection

TrueAlarm Addressable Detection. IDNet addressable

device compatibility includes Simplex TrueAlarm
photoelectric smoke and temperature sensors. The 4008 fire
alarm control panel provides a subset of the complete
analog TrueAlarm features. TrueAlarm sensors appear to
the panel essentially as addressable detectors and that term
is used for 4008 documentation.

Approximately every four seconds the addressable smoke
detectors transmit an output value based on their smoke
chamber condition. The panel CPU internally maintains a
current value, peak value, and an average value for each
detector’s output. Status is determined by comparing the
current value to its average value. Tracking this average
value as a continuously shifting reference point filters out
environmental factors that cause shifts in sensitivity.

Alarm Determination. Photoelectric detection sensitivity
is 2.5%/ft obscuration. All detectors can be selected for a
reduced sensitivity detection mode that satisfies the city of
Boston requirements. Addressable heat detectors provide a
fixed temperature alarm at 135° F (57° C) and may be
individually selected to also provide rate-of-rise alarm of
15° F (8.3° C) per minute where applicable.

Keyboard Reference

Diagnostics and Default Device Type

Status Monitoring. 4008 TrueAlarm operation provides

the ability to automatically indicate when an addressable
detector is dirty or excessively dirty. The NFPA 72
(National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code ) r e quirement for
a test of the sensitivity range of the detectors is fulfilled by
the TrueAlarm ability to maintain the sensitivity level of
each addressable detector.

Modular Addressable Detector/Base Combination.
Modular TrueAlarm addressable detectors use the same base
which allows different detector head types (photoel ect ri c
smoke, or heat) to be easily interchanged to meet specific
application requirements. This feature also allows
intentional detector (sensor head) substitution during
building construction. When conditions are temporarily
dusty, instead of covering the smoke detectors (causing
them to be disabled), heat detector heads may be installed
without reprogramming the control panel. Although the
control panel will indicate an incorrect detector type, the
heat detector will operate at a default setting to provide heat
detection for building protection at that location.

FIVE STATUS INDICATOR LEDs provide system status indications in
addition to LCD information, LEDs flash t o in dic a te the condition and
then when acknowledged, remain on until reset

2 X 20 LCD READOUT, LED backlighted during normal conditions and abnormal
operating conditions, provides up to 20 characters for custom label information
