Product operation and reliability depend upon proper installation. DO NOT INSTALL ANY SIMPLEX™ PRODUCT THAT APPEARS DAMAGED Upon unpacking your Simplex product, inspect the contents of the carton for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, immediately file a claim with the carrier and notify an authorized Simplex product supplier.
4004R. When the 4004R is configured for the combination setting, it works just like one would expect an Agent Release panel to work: a confirmed fire alarm or manual request starts the process and eventually results in the discharge of a suppression agent. In addition to Agent Release, the panel also starts the Preaction Deluge process in parallel and takes the panel to Phase 1, as described in the Preaction Deluge section above.
4004R Fire Alarm installation, programming, and operating instructions The second table in Appendix D Applications with Relay Options lists all thirteen applications with the aux and expanded relay operation if the enhanced relay operation is selected. The table also describes the operation of the NACs and RACs along with the functions of the four IDCs and two SPM circuits.
4004R Fire Alarm installation, programming, and operating instructions Figure 1: Timeline for single device suppression release 3.2.3 Timeline for release triggered by dual detector activation Cross-zoned applications require that two automatic initiating devices on different zones enter an alarm state before the releasing appliance can activate.
3.2.4 Manual releasing sequence The manual releasing sequence begins following the activation of a manual release station connected to the 4004R FACP. As shown in Figure 3, the NACs and the Manual Release Delay Timer turn on immediately after the switch is activated. Release of the agent occurs immediately after the timer expires.
Figure 4 shows the major components of the 4004R. As shown in the figure, terminals for RACs, NACs, IDCs, and SPMs are located along the top of the panel. If Class A adapters are used, install tehm beneath these terminals. Refer to Connecting the field wiring and AC power for specific information on wiring the 4004R.

Wiring Initiating Device Circuits IDCs are used for wiring smoke and heat detectors to the 4004R. Be aware that correct operation of the 4004R depends on the proper installation and placement of smoke and heat detectors. This is particularly true when installing a cross-zoned, agent release system.

Refer to Guidelines at the beginning of this section for general wiring guidelines and compatible devices.
Wiring releasing circuits guidelines The Releasing Appliance Circuits (RACs) on the 4004R are designated on the printed circuit board as RAC1 and RAC2. Each RAC must connect to a 2081-9046 coil supervision module, which in turn connects to two 12 VDC or one 24 VDC solenoid (also known as an actuator).
Maintenance switch For the Maintenance Switch, Simplex model 2080-9059 or 2080-9060 must be used. This switch disconnects the releasing circuit and is detected by the releasing circuit as active. In accordance with UL 864, a Supervisory condition must be indicated when a releasing circuit is disconnected for maintenance.
4004R Fire Alarm installation, programming, and operating instructions Wiring Special Purpose Monitor circuits SPM circuits are used for connecting abort and manual release switches to the 4004R. The application type, single hazard or dual hazard, determines the function of each SPM.

When you are finished programming the panel, set the Program Switch, located as shown in Figure 30, to the OFF position. This automatically saves the changes you have made to the 4004R's programming and places the panel in fire alarm mode. 6.13.1 Making changes to an existing program Edits to an existing program can be made at any time.
Figure 32 shows the operator interface for the 4004R. The LED labels used on the interface depend on whether the system is programmed as a preaction/deluge or agent release system. Also, a combo Agent Release and PreAction/Deluge may be used. This requires another label that is not shown below.
Delay Timers System operators must be aware of the following three programmable timers on the 4004R. Refer to the label on the back of the front cover, which provides a location for specifying the timer values, for information on the specific timer values used for the facility.
