FSCS Ordering
Information
The FSCS must have an audible signal that sounds when either a smoke control zone is in alarm or
to bring attention to a fault indicator. Operating the key-switch and then pressing the audible
silence button is the only method of silencing the FSCS audible signal.
The FSCS must have an "Audible Silence Button." This momentary push-button is activated only
when the master key-switch is ON. This button is used to silence the FSCS audible signal that
activated as a result of proof sensors failing to report or annunciation of smoke detection within
the FSCS smoke control zones.
The FSCS must have a means to turn OFF equipment fault indicators that were activated as a
result of proof sensors failing to report within the required time period. If a "Clear Faults Button"
or similar means to clear faults, is used it would be active only when the master key-switch is ON.
An alternate means may be by logging in at an authorized level at the Fire Alarm Control Panel
and then clearing the faults.
The FSCS must have a "Lamp Test Button." This momentary push-button is active at all times to
turn ON all indicators to allow for visual confirmation of failed indicator LEDs.
Note: Refer to Chapter 4 for a list of Simplex Field Wiring Diagrams and Interconnection
Diagrams that can assist you in installing the Simplex Smoke Control System.
A Firefighter's Smoke Control Station (FSCS) consists of a site-specific, customized floor plan or
elevation graphic, illuminated status indicators, and switches. The FSCS uses Simplex LED
drivers and switch input modules (Models 4100-7401 through -7404 and 4602-7101) that
communicate with the 4100U/4100ES FACP by means of a supervised RUI communications
channel. The Models 4100-7401 through -7404 and 4602-7101 have been found suitable for use as
components internal to a UL-Listed FSCS manufactured by others.
There are several suppliers of UL-listed FSCS. Below are references to two manufacturers known
to have UL Listed FSCS equipment utilizing Simplex LED drivers and switch modules when this
document was published. Since manufacturer's Listing compliance may change, always verify
smoke control system equipment listing compliance of the FSCS before placing your FSCS order.:
