Simplex TrueAlert 4906-9202 Instructions

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

Features

Individually addressed and controlled
multi-candela V/O (visible only) 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 4100ES fire alarm control 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 3)
 UL listed to Standard 1971 and ULC-S526*
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 is also
selectable to confirm operation
Mechanical design features:
 Rugged, high impact, flame retardant ceiling mount
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 mounted electrical boxes

TrueAlert Addressable Notification Appliances

Description

Multi-Candela TrueAlert addressable strobes
provide convenient installation to standard electrical
boxes. The strobe 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 addressable appliances on IDNAC SLCs
provide separate visible (and audible) 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.
Reduced current allows efficient IDNAC SLC
operation. With IDNAC SLCs, a constant 29 VRMS
source voltage is maintained, even during battery standby,
allowing strobes to operate at higher voltage with lower
current and ensuring a consistent current draw and voltage
drop margin under both primary power and secondary
battery standby. Efficiencies include wiring distances up
to 2 to 3 times farther than with conventional notification,
or support for more appliances per IDNAC SLC, or use of
smaller gauge wiring, or combinations of these benefits,
all providing installation and maintenance savings with
high assurance that appliances that operate during normal
system testing will operate during worst case alarm
conditions.
