Introduction
TrueAlert addressable notification appliances are
individually addressed and receive power, supervision,
and control from a TrueAlert Signaling Line Circuit
(SLC). For wired control systems, strobe flashes and horn
outputs are synchronized per controller. For RUI and
IDNet communications control, controllers on the same
host control panel are synchronized. (Combination
RUI Communications Control (Continued)
Address points and custom labels are assigned to each
TrueAlert appliance allowing troubles to be reported
individually. Additionally, individual device types are
assigned and audible appliance coding types are selectable
for high or low output (~5 dBA difference) and with
operation as Temporal pattern, March Time pattern (60 or 120 bpm), or Steady On (continuous).
speaker/strobe TrueAlert appliances receive audible
control from separate audio circuit wiring.)
TrueAlert addressable operation allows strobes to
be wired onto the same two-wire SLC circuit as horns but
with separately controlled operation. Typical applications
are audible notification appliances activated as
“on-until-silenced” and visible notification appliances
activated as “on-until-reset.”
TrueAlert Addressable Controller diagnostics can
be implemented from the control panel including: Silent
or Active individual appliance magnet test, appliance
LED polling indication, or all appliance LEDs on.
RUI Communications Control
When used with fire alarm control panels that support RUI
communications, the TrueAlert Addressable Controller can
be connected to an RUI addressable communications
channel along with other RUI addressable devices. The host
panel can control multiple TrueAlert Addressable
Controllers (maximum recommended is 20 per RUI
connection), (note: 4010ES system is limited to 20 internal
and external card addresses per panel). Refer to the diagram
on page 3 for additional information.
4100ES and 4010ES VNAC Details
Virtual NAC (VNACs) Operation Groupings
provide control of TrueAlert appliances similar to
conventional NAC operation but VNACs include
appliances across SLCs and across SLC sources within a
4100ES (or 4100U) or 4010ES controlled system.
VNACs require point allocation, can be declared “public”
for use in a Network fire alarm system, and can be
manually controlled. (NOTE: The terms Virtual NAC,
VNAC, and TrueAlert Zone refer to the same feature and
are interchangeable.)
Custom VNACs. For programming convenience, there
are default VNAC groups according to device type. Up to
56 custom VNACs (8 VNACs are system reserved) can
be created per 4100ES TPS or per TrueAlert Addressable
Controller connected to a 4100ES or 4010ES control
panel. Appliances are able to be in up to three custom
VNACs. (NOTE: Appliances assigned to multiple
VNACs will remain ON if any of the VNACs are ON.)
4100ES, 4100U, and 4010ES Fire Alarm Control Panels
can be programmed for up to 247 total custom VNACs
for increased selective signaling operation.

automatically assigned to the
Isolator default VNAC.
3. Up to 12 total can be
connected per Class B SLC
(up to 6 on the same branch),
and up to 6 total per Class A
SLC.
For use with the Simplex 4010 Fire Alarm Control Panel,
up to five TrueAlert Addressable Controllers can be
controlled on a single IDNet communications channel
with each requiring only one point address. Each
TrueAlert Addressable Controller SLC channel can be
individually controlled by using 4010 custom control.
Each TrueAlert SLC channel can provide horn control
selected as Temporal pattern, March Time pattern (60 or 120 bpm), or Steady On.
Manual Control. Individual TrueAlert SLC channels
can be manually controlled from the 4010 for service
operations or for manual override.
Trouble Communications. The 4010 receives
TrueAlert Addressable Controller troubles to include:
device supervision (reported as a channel trouble), power
trouble, battery status, and earth detect.
Optional IDNet Repeater Modules. IDNet
communications can be repeated with the optional IDNet
Repeater Module or with the optional Fiber Optic
Receiver Module. Up to 100 of the IDNet channel points
can be repeated once (see illustrations below). Repeated
IDNet communications also support the “device level”
earth fault location utility of the host panel.

Wired NAC Input Connection Information
Wired Conventional NAC Input Compatible. For
applications where existing (or new) conventional
Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) are available, the
TrueAlert Addressable Controller can be controlled
directly from the NACs. (Refer to diagram below.)
Service Diagnostic Features
Power-up Self-Diagnostics. Upon power-up, the
TrueAlert Addressable Controller tests each module and
performs earth fault diagnostics. Trouble conditions are
communicated to the host control panel and are also
displayed on internal LEDs.
Flexible Connection Choices. Two NACs, from
either the same, or from different host fire alarm control
panels, can be connected to control the TrueAlert output
channels. Multiple control selections provide flexible
operation. (Refer to table below.)
NAC input to SLC output control is selectable per
the following table (configure NAC input as Steady On,
uncoded):

Strobe Output. TrueAlert Addressable Strobes are
operated with synchronized flashes.
Horn Output. TrueAlert Addressable Horn operation is
selectable per TrueAlert Addressable Controller as either:
Temporal pattern, March Time pattern at either 60 or
120 bpm or Steady On.
Door Mounted Reference Label
A detailed programming and diagnostic label is located
inside the front door providing a quick reference for both
installation and checkout.
System troubles via RUI or IDNet communications
are reported with detailed information concerning which
TrueAlert Addressable Controller is involved and the
nature of the trouble. Messages include power and battery
status, earth fault, channel troubles, address problems, and
other information.
System Troubles via Wired Control. When
controlled with conventional NAC inputs, common
troubles are signaled by providing an open circuit that
disconnects the NAC wiring from its end-of-line resistor
but still allows a reversed polarity alarm to be received.
LED Status Indicators are provided for the following:
Five yellow status LEDs provide 22 separate
indications listed in priority of urgency. As a trouble is
eliminated, any remaining trouble(s) will then be
indicated until the TrueAlert Addressable Controller is
returned to normal operation
Three separate yellow LEDs indicate which of
the three TrueAlert channels are involved for channel
specific troubles
AC power status is indicated by a green LED that
is on when AC is normal. During low AC (brownout)
conditions or with no AC, the LED is off. Additional
power and battery status is indicated by the general
status LEDs
TrueAlert Addressable Controller with Wired Control

Procedure:
1. Calculate total panel supervisory current (A).
2. Calculate total panel alarm current (B1) [convert mA to A, example: 350 mA = 0.35 A]. Copy (B1) into block (B2).
3. Calculate total NAC loads alarm current from notification appliance ratings (C).
4. Add (C) + (B2) to determine total alarm current (D).
5. Total of IDNet Device Current (A1) + Auxiliary Power Output Current (A2) + SLC Loads Alarm Current (C) is 8 A
maximum.
6. Refer to Simplex battery selection document 900-012 for recommended battery size for specific standby requirements
(i.e., 24 hours supervisory, 5 minutes of alarm). Internal cabinet space is provided for batteries up to 12.7 Ah.
7. Most TrueAlert appliances/devices are one unit load, Isolators are 4 unit loads. Refer to Field Wiring Diagram 842-158.
