Basic Concepts And Operations - Simplex 4010ES Operator's Manual

2 Basic concepts and operations

Note: Note: For operation of the 4010ES Panel with an ES Touch Screen Display, refer to 579-1329
This is an overview of the 4010ES operator interface panel and describes the normal appearance of the operator interface panel.
The Simplex 4010ES Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) has three general functions.
• It monitors fire alarm initiating points (for example, smoke detectors, heat detectors, and pull stations).
• It activates fire alarm notification appliances (horns, strobes, audio evacuation messages) when an initiating point activates.
• It monitors and controls auxiliary building equipment (fan dampers, relays, security devices).
Note: 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, a single pull station, etc. Some devices may take up multiple points in a system.
The 4010ES operator interface allows a system operator to control and monitor the facility-specific components connected to the 4010ES
FACP.

Description
The ALARMS LEDs - FIRE and PRORITY2 - indicate the
presence of an unacknowledged alarm condition. Other
components of the system, such as the horns and strobes,
also activate to indicate the presence of an alarm. The FIRE
ALARM ACK and PRIORITY2 ACK keys allow an operator to
acknowledge the presence of an alarm.
Pressing the ALARM SILENCE key provides a means of
silencing the building's audible notification appliances
(horns). The LED indicates when this key has been used.
The WARNINGS LEDs – SUPERVISORY and TROUBLE –
indicate when abnormal, non-fire conditions occur to the
fire alarm's wiring or devices. The Warning keys – SUPV ACK
and TROUBLE ACK – allow an operator to acknowledge the
presence of the abnormal condition.
Pressing this key directs the panel to reset all attached
devices and clear all acknowledged alarms, troubles, and
supervisory conditions.
Indicates the presence of AC power at the panel.
Used to display the time at which an acknowledged alarm,
trouble, or supervisory condition occurred.
Used to call up points for monitoring and control.
These are programmable keys. Typical functions include
manual evacuation, ground fault monitor, etc.
Pressing these keys allows you to enable or disable devices
attached to the panel.
Pressing these keys allows you to force a device (such as a
relay) ON or OFF. The Auto key returns control of the device
to the panel.
