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

Ceiling Mount Addressable V/Os
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.
