Simplex TrueAlert 4906-9228 Instructions

UL, ULC, CSFM Listed; FM Approved;
MEA (NYC) Acceptance*

Features

Individually addressed and controlled
multi-candela A/V (audible/visible) notification
appliances provide:
 Multi-candela xenon strobe with synchronized 1 Hz
flash rate and with intensity programmable from the
control panel or jumper selected as 15, 30, 75, or
110 cd
 Advanced addressable notification controlled by
IDNAC SLCs from Simplex
panels with EPS/EPS+ power supplies (and 4009
IDNAC Repeaters) providing regulated 29 VRMS
allowing strobes to operate with lower current even
under battery backup
 Wiring supervision to each strobe allowing "T-tapped"
connections for Class B circuits to simplify wiring
(Class A circuits require in/out wiring)
 TrueAlert Device Reports at the control panel
detailing appliance point ID, custom label, type, and
candela setting (see sample on page 2)
 Magnet test diagnostics to assist checkout and testing
of appliances and wiring
 Compatibility with ADA requirements
 Compatibility with legacy TrueAlert addressable
systems for upgrade and replacement (see page 4)
 Strobe operation listed to UL Standard 1971 and ULC
Standard S526
 Horn operation listed to UL Standard 464 and ULC
Standard S525
LED indicator and magnet test feature:
 Appliance LED can be selected to display each polling
cycle to indicate appliance supervision
 In diagnostic mode, the magnet test pulses the LED to
indicate appliance address AND pulses to indicate the
intensity selection; a brief output of the strobe and the
horn is also selectable to confirm operation
Mechanical design features:
 Rugged, high impact, flame retardant thermoplastic
housings are available in red or white
 Rear of housing does not extend into box and easily
mounts to standard electrical boxes
 Mounting options include red wire guards and
adapters for surface mount electrical boxes
Audible notification appliance (horn):
 Low current electronic horn with harmonically rich
output sound for either coded or steady operation
 Horns sound as Temporal or March Time pattern
(60 or 120 BPM), or on continuously, controlled
separately from visible appliances on the same
two-wire circuit
 Output is "high" or "low" (~5 dBA difference);
IDNAC SLC control selects output per device

Multi-Candela Audible/Visible
(A/V) Appliances; Ceiling Mount
Ceiling Mount Addressable A/Vs
Description
Multi-Candela TrueAlert addressable A/Vs provide
convenient installation to standard electrical boxes.
Operation is individually addressed and individually
controlled with power, supervision, and control supplied
from a Simplex fire alarm control panel providing IDNAC
Signaling Line Circuits (SLCs). (See compatibility list on
page 3.)
Strobe Application Reference
Proper selection of visible notification is dependent on
occupancy, location, local codes, and proper applications
of: the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code
(NFPA 72), ANSI A117.1; the appropriate model building
code: BOCA, ICBO, or SBCCI; and the application
guidelines of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
IDNAC SLC Operation Advantage
TrueAlert A/V Addressable Appliances on IDNAC
SLCs provide audible and visible notification using a
single two-wire circuit that also confirms connection to
the individual notification appliance's electronic circuit.
This operation increases circuit supervision integrity by
providing supervision that extends beyond the appliance
wiring connections.
