Basic System Description

Overview

The Simplex FACP has three general functions:

Control
Keys and
LEDs
It monitors fire alarm initiating points (smoke detectors, heat detectors, and pull stations).
It activates fire alarm notification appliances (horns, strobes, and audio evacuation messages)
when an initiating point activates.
It monitors and controls auxiliary building equipment (fan dampers, relays, security devices).
The term point is used extensively throughout this manual. It is a generic term used to
refer to an individual component of the system, such as a single smoke detector or a single
pull station. The FACP operator interface, shown in Figure 1-1, allows a system operator
to control and monitor the facility-specific components connected to the FACP.
