The 4009-9401 TrueAlert

™

Addressable Controller is a self-contained adjunct panel for use with
TrueAlert addressable notification appliances. The base version of the Addressable Controller is a
single-board system consisting of three Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) channels, a power supply
and charger, slave interfaces for IDNet

™

and RUI protocols, and two conventional Notification
Appliance Circuit (NAC) inputs for hardwired control. Option cards are available to provide the
following additional capabilities:

• 4009-9812 Class A Adapter Option Card. Allows fault tolerance in the case of

open circuit wiring faults on the three TrueAlert SLCs.

• 4009-9809 IDNet Repeater Option Card. 4010 only. Regenerates and provides a

power and distance boost for the IDNet channel. The 4009-9809 takes the IDNet signal
from the 4009 receiver and retransmits it on its output side at host panel IDNet levels.
When the IDNet Repeater Option Card is used, the Fiber Optic Receiver Option Card is
not available for the 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller.

• 4009-9810 (Class B)/4009-9811 (Class A) Fiber Optic Receiver Option Card.

4010 only. Receives IDNet communication over a fiber optic link and regenerates the
IDNet signal. The Fiber Optic Receiver Option Card is used with the 4090-9105
(Class B)/4090-9107 (Class A) Fiber Optic Card to form an IDNet fiber optic link.

Introduction

TrueAlert notification appliance operation provides power, control, and supervision of horns and
strobes over a single pair of wires. The controlling TrueAlert channel digitally communicates with
each appliance and receives a response to verify the appliance’s presence on the channel. When
required, the TrueAlert channel provides a digital command to control appliance operation.
(Typical operation would be for both horns and strobes to be initially activated upon alarm and
then, when desired, horns can be silenced while the strobes continue to flash. When the alarm
condition is over, both appliance types can be de-energized.)

Due to the supervision provided, TrueAlert notification appliances can be wired in a Class B
(Style 4) configuration without requiring traditional in/out wiring methods. Both separate branch
wiring and T-tapping are allowed in these cases. Class A (Style 6) operation does require
traditional in/out wiring methods. Up to 63 appliances can be supported on a single TrueAlert
channel.

Each TrueAlert notification appliance contains an electronic module and a selectable address
setting (in addition to its notification appliance) that allows it to occupy a unique location on the
TrueAlert channel. This on-board module also allows the TrueAlert channel to perform appliance
diagnostics that assist with installation and subsequent test operations. A visible LED at each
TrueAlert appliance can be set up to provide verification of communication, and flashes with the
appliance’s address setting when locally requested using a magnetic test tool.

Introduction to TrueAlert

Overview

1-3

Figure 1-1 is an illustration of the TrueAlert Addressable Controller.

Figure 1-1. Simplex 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller

The TrueAlert Addressable Controller provides the TrueAlert channel interface between fire
alarm control panels (FACPs) that do not support TrueAlert operation, and the TrueAlert
appliances. It provides three TrueAlert channels that supply 2.5 amperes of alarm current each,
and an auxiliary 0.5-amp output. Panels that do not support TrueAlert operation cannot take
advantage of all the features of TrueAlert notification appliances, but the TrueAlert Addressable
Controller provides these panels with various capabilities that depend on the interface being used.
There are three possible interfaces to the TrueAlert Addressable Controller that the FACP can use
to control operation of the appliances.

The Simplex 4010 FACP can interface to the TrueAlert Addressable Controller via an IDNet
Interface. When using this interface, the TrueAlert Addressable Controller appears to the 4010 as
an IDNet addressable peripheral. Each of the three TrueAlert SLC channels looks to the 4010 like
a TrueAlert Non-Addressable NAC with independent control of horns and strobes. This provides
greater selective control. Diagnostic features are enabled and disabled via DIP switches in the
panel. Up to five TrueAlert Addressable Controllers can be used with a 4010 host (see Field
Wiring Diagram
842-158).

The Simplex 4100 or 4020 FACPs can interface to the TrueAlert Addressable Controller via a
Remote Unit Interface (RUI). Diagnostic features are enabled and disabled through the front panel
user interface. The quantity of TrueAlert Addressable Controllers that can be used is limited only
by the number of card addresses available (out of the total of 119).

Continued on next page

The 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller

Overview

1-4

The Hardwired NAC Interface uses two conventional NACs from the host FACP. One NAC is
used to enable operation of the strobe appliances (so that they are On Until Silenced), and a
second NAC is used to enable operation of the horn appliances (so that they are On Until Reset).
All three SLC channels of the TrueAlert Addressable Controller are controlled together.
Diagnostic features are enabled and disabled via DIP switches in the panel. Up to four hardwired
TrueAlert Addressable Controllers can be used with a single host panel (see Field Wiring
Diagram 842-158).

Alternatively, the first of the two host NACs can be set up to control audible and visible output for
TrueAlert SLC Channel 1, while the second host NAC controls audible and visible output for
TrueAlert SLC Channels 2 and 3. With this type of operation, there is no individual control of
audibles and visibles.

For any of the described applications, the TrueAlert Addressable Controller can minimize
transmission line losses associated with sending large currents for notification appliances long
distances within buildings. In a fire alarm system with the TrueAlert Addressable Controller, a
power supply and batteries for notification appliances are located near the actual notification
appliances, saving system power and battery capacity while minimizing line losses.

The 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller can be used with addressable IDNet or RUI systems.
It can also be used with hardwired FACPs. This section discusses these general uses.

The TrueAlert Addressable Controller is addressable when configured as an IDNet or RUI
peripheral. In the IDNet or RUI modes, SW5 (see Figure 1-2) sets the address of the Addressable
Controller which is controlled and configured by the 4010 FACP (for IDNet) or the 4100/4020
(for RUI). The Addressable Controller monitors each SLC. If a trouble occurs, faults (including
appliance supervision, power, battery integrity, and earth) are communicated to the host panel as
IDNet or RUI messages.

When wired to a 4100U, visual synchronization is possible. A maximum of 39 multicandela
addressable visuals may be synchronized per SLC. All SLCs are synchronized across a 4009T. All
4009Ts are synchronized across the 4100U.

There are two hardwired NAC control inputs on the Addressable Controller which can be used to
activate the appliances connected to the Addressable Controller. The hardwired NAC control
inputs provide backward compatibility with other Simplex panels. In the hardwired mode, the
configuration of the Addressable Controller is configured via two DIP switches (Hardware
Configuration Switch (SW4) and Address/Software Configuration Switch (SW5)). Each input
(called Hardwire Control Channel 1 and Channel 2, respectively, on TB7) simulates a typical
hardwired notification appliance, as seen from the host panel. The host NAC that is connected to
Channel 1 sends general trouble messages to the host panel, while the NAC connected to Channel
2 sends SLC channel-related messages to the host panel.

An End Of Line Resistor (EOLR) may be directly connected to the hardwire control Channel 1
and 2 terminals, or NAC wiring can be continued on to the next termination point for that circuit.
See Field Wiring Diagram 842-158 for details.

A maximum of four TrueAlert Addressable

Controllers can be attached to the Hardwire Control Channel 1 and Channel 2 inputs.

This section describes the hardware on the 4009 board. Use Figure 1-2 to locate the items
described on this page.

The Addressable Controller system board provides three TrueAlert SLC channels. Channels 1
through 3 are Class B TrueAlert signaling line circuits. Field wiring terminations are provided for
12 AWG to 18 AWG wire (twisted pair wire is required). Refer to Field Wiring Diagram 842-158
for complete wiring, compatible appliances, current, and line distance information. Each channel
is capable of being independently controlled by the TrueAlert 4009, as commanded by the host
panel and Dip Switch SW5 settings.

Each signaling line circuit is monitored for short and open circuit line faults when in the standby (not
energized) condition. In the event of a short circuit, the Addressable Controller will not activate the
SLC channel while the short circuit fault is present. Short and open circuit faults are reported to the
host panel via the command channel (IDNet, RUI, or hardwired) and can be identified by a steady
trouble LED on the Addressable Controller during the supervisory state.

The channels are configurable as Class A (Style 6) circuits with the addition of the
4009-9812 Class A Adapter Option Card. The Addressable Controller monitors for insertion of the
Class A Adapter Option Card, and detects it when it is configured properly via Hardware
Configuration Switch SW4 (see Table 2-1 in Chapter 2).

On power-up, or on controller reset via DIP switch SW4 (IDNet and Hardwired only) or SW5,
each channel momentarily disconnects its supervision, allowing earth fault isolation.

The battery charger charges lead acid batteries up to 18 AH (refer to Field Wiring Diagram
842-158 for details). Low, missing, and depleted batteries are detected through supervision. The
battery charger output remains disabled until a battery is sensed. The 4009 does not support
external chargers.

The control interfaces for IDNet and RUI are TB1 and TB2. Use these ports as described in Field
Wiring Diagram 842-158.

DIP switches are used to configure the system, as described in Chapter 2.

To determine which channel is in an Earth Ground trouble condition in any wiring mode,

1. When the Addressable Controller LEDs indicates a system trouble of Positive or

Negative Earth Ground, reinitialize the Addressable Controller (typically by switching
any DIP switch on the board).

2. The Addressable Controller LEDs should now display the channel-specific Earth

Trouble. If you still see the system trouble without any channel indication, hit the
Trouble Scroll button (PB-SW6) on the system board until the channel-specific trouble is
displayed. Refer to Figure 1-2 for the Trouble Scroll button location.

3. The system trouble will clear automatically once you correct the trouble condition. To

clear the channel trouble message, reinitialize the Addressable Controller once again.

This green LED indicates that AC power is present and is being used as the 4009 TrueAlert
Addressable Controller power source. The 4009 switches to the battery whenever the green LED
is OFF.

CAUTION: The green AC LED indicates “Good AC Power.” In the event of a

brownout condition, the unit will switch to battery power but lethal
voltages may still exist. DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING.

This section describes how to use the DIP switches on the 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller
board for setting addresses and optional features.

The SLC Appliance Switches (SW1, SW2, SW3) are 8-position DIP switches. Use these switches
to set the number of appliances connected to each SLC. SW1 corresponds to SLC 1, SW2
corresponds to SLC 2, and SW3 corresponds to SLC 3. A maximum of 63 appliances or 2.5 amps
of power may be specified per SLC channel (refer to Field Wiring Diagram 842-158). Refer to
Figure 1-2 to locate the switches on the system board. Refer to Figure 2-2, below, to specify the
correct number of appliances for each SLC channel.

Use a small screwdriver or pen to set the switches.

Notes:

• DIP switch in “1” position is ON while DIP switch in “0” position is OFF.

• SW1, SW2, and SW3 are disabled when the RUI host interface is selected.

The 8-position Hardware Configuration DIP Switch (SW4) is used to configure what hardware is
present and supervised by the Addressable Controller, and how the hardware is used. The
Hardware Configuration Switch is located to the right of the channel indicator LEDs
(E-A indicators) on the system board (see Figure 1-2).

Table 2-1, below, lists the SW4 settings.

IMPORTANT: All settings, including “N/A,” will reinitialize the TrueAlert

Addressable Controller.

Normal Operation. The Addressable Controller runs under normal operation only when both
switches 1 and 6 are set of OFF. Any other combination between the two switches puts the
Addressable Controller into one of the test modes described below and on the next page.

Global Silent Appliance Test. Sets all TrueAlert notification appliances so that alarms are
silent. If the system goes into alarm, appliances will illuminate their LEDs in a Steady On state
without audibles or strobes.

Manual Real Appliance Test. Activates a test mode so that appliances can be manually tested
one at a time. The manual real appliance test makes a given notification appliance report its
address and emits an alarm. Place a magnet on the appropriate area of the notification appliance to
initiate a real appliance test. The LED emits one long flash denoting the test acknowledge signal,
and then another long flash denoting the first digit (always zero) of the appliance address. The
LED then flashes one to six times to denote the second digit of the address, pauses, and flashes
one to nine times to indicate the third digit of the address. A zero is always indicated by one long
flash. After the LED flashes, the appliance goes into alarm for 2 to 3 seconds.

Manual Silent Appliance Test. Like the real appliance test mode, this allows appliances to be
manually tested, one at a time. The manual silent appliance test makes a given notification
appliance report its address without emitting an alarm. Place a magnet on the appropriate area of
the appliance to initiate a silent appliance test. The LED emits one long flash denoting the test
acknowledge signal, and then another long flash denoting the first digit (always zero) of the
appliance address. The LED then flashes one to six times to denote the second digit of the address,
pauses, and flashes one to nine times to indicate the third digit of the address. A zero is always
indicated by one long flash. When the address is done, the LED illuminates once more for 2 to 3
seconds.

Class A Adapter Card Options. Refer to Table 2-2, below, for a description of what happens
when switch 2 is set.

4. Mount the back box to the wall so that the top of the enclosure is no more than eight feet

above the floor. The back box must be level and plumb. For surface mounting, use the
teardrop and clearance holes located in the rear of the box and screw to wall.

5. Wire non-power limited wiring in the shaded areas only (see Figure 2-5), this includes AC

input and battery connections. All other wiring is power limited. Maintain at least ¼-inch
(0.63 cm) spacing between all power limited and non-power limited wiring.

6. Connect the AC wiring harness and install the electronic card cage assembly to the 4009

cabinet.

When wiring the 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller, refer to Field Wiring Diagram
842-158, the 4009 TrueAlert Applications Diagram (Figure 2-1), and the following system wiring
requirements.

• All wiring, except incoming power and ground connecting wires, must be free from

grounds or shorts and have a resistance of one megohm, or higher, to earth.

• All wires are to be copper conductors only, except fiber cables. All equipment must be

installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations and the specifications
and standards of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). The installation of all wiring,
cable, and equipment must be in accordance with NFPA 70 National Electrical Code.

• If shielded wire is used, the metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained and

insulated throughout the entire length of the cable. The entire length of the cable must
have a resistance greater than one megohm to earth.

• Splicing is permitted in accordance with NFPA 70 National Electrical Code. All wiring

must be terminated with UL listed appliances (e.g., wire nuts, pressure connectors).
Wiring terminated with only electrical tape is not permitted. All splicing (free ends of
conductors) must be covered with an insulation equivalent to that of the conductors.

• An appropriate system ground must be provided for earth detection and lightning

protection appliances. The connection must be an approved dedicated earth connection
per NFPA 70 National Electrical Code.

• When running wires to the 4009, identify the wires appropriately. Only system wiring

can be run in the same conduit which includes SLC wiring, NAC wiring, IDNet wiring,
RUI wiring, 24 V AUX wiring, and FACP speaker circuits.

• Input power and external battery power are non-power limited and cannot be run

with power limited system wiring.

IMPORTANT: If the 4009T is powered up with zero devices connected, the 4009T will

indicate channel failure for those channels that are programmed to support
devices. The 4009T will not sense devices as they are connected when the
4009T has been powered up with zero devices connected. After at least one
valid device is connected, the unit must be reset by toggling dipswitches on
Hardware Configuration Switch SW4 (SW4-2 for example) and then the
4009T will communicate with devices as they are added.

The 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller supports several option add-on cards:

4009-9812 Class A Adapter Option Card. Allows fault tolerance in the case of open circuit
wiring faults. One card provides Class A/Style 6 functionality for three TrueAlert SLCs. See
4009-9812 Class A Adapter Option Card Installation Instructions (574-763).

4009-9809 IDNet Repeater Option Card. Regenerates and provides a power and distance
boost for the IDNet channel. Takes the IDNet signal from the 4009 receiver and retransmits it on
its output side at host panel IDNet levels. See IDNet Repeater Option Card Installation
Instructions (574-327).

4009-9810/-9811 Fiber Optic Receiver Option Card. Works with the IDNet Fiber
Transmitter to form a fiber optic link from an IDNet channel to a remote TrueAlert Addressable
Controller. The fiber optic link allows remote buildings (within 3,000 ft (914.4 m)) to connect to
the IDNet channel, and to minimize susceptibility to electrical transients. See Fiber Optic Link
Option Installation Instructions (574-182).

Connectors are provided on the base assembly of the 4009 system board to support the available
option cards. Optional hardware must be configured with the Hardware Configuration DIP
Switch (SW4), described in Table 2-1 on page 2-4, for proper system operation.

There are four 4009 IDNet NAC Extender device types, and only two that you can use.
Press ENTER on one of the following:

• [4009A (4 NAC)]. Normally used for the 4009 IDNet NAC Extender, this also

denotes the 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller.

• [R4009A (4 NAC)]. Normally used for the 4009 IDNet NAC Extender with

Repeater Option, this also denotes the 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller with
Repeater Option.

Note: [4009A (8 NAC)] and [R4009A (8 NAC)] cannot be used for the 4009

TrueAlert Addressable Controller.

6. When prompted, press ENTER to confirm your selection. The display reads

** Operation Complete **, and you are returned to the
IDNet Device: M1-x display, which shows the next available IDNet address. Note

that if you press the PREVIOUS button, the address you just configured has disappeared
because it is now being used.

7. At this point, repeat steps 4 through 6 for each 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller

you need to add. A total of five can be used. When you are done, press EXIT twice so
that the display reads Configure Point: [ZAMS/IAMS/RIAMS].

respond to normal system control.

5. When prompted, press ENTER to confirm your selection. The display reads

** Operation Complete **, and you are returned to the
Configure Point: [NACs] display.

6. At this point, repeat steps 1 through 5 for each 4009 TrueAlert Addressable Controller
you need to add.

1. From the Configure Point: [NACs] menu item, scroll up to the
4009 NAC points you just modified. Each one displays an M1-x address and reads
TrueAlert N.A.NAC under it. Press ENTER on the first SLC point you want to edit.

2. The Function: [Edit Device Type] menu item comes up. Press NEXT until
the display reads Function: [Edit Point Label], and then press ENTER.

3. The part of the display that says IDNet M1-x: 4009A NAC 1 is now editable. Use
the PREVIOUS and NEXT buttons to select alphanumeric characters. When you have
selected the correct character, use the right and left arrow buttons to move to other
characters. When you are done, press ENTER and then press ENTER again to confirm
your selection. The display will then read **Operation Complete**.

4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for every 4009 TrueAlert SLC.

5. Change IDNet M1-x: 4009A NAC 1 to say “4009T COMMON CLASS A
TROUBLE”.

Note: An alternate way to edit labels is to clear the point label completely and then

add text. To do this, press ENTER on the Configure Point: [NACs]
menu item, use the NEXT or PREVIOUS buttons to scroll to the

Function: [Clear Point Label] item, press ENTER, select an
IDNet M1-x entry, and press ENTER again. This deletes all the characters

on the top line of the display and lets you enter and save text as described in
step 3.

6. Press EXIT to return to Programming: [Configure Points].
