Basic System Description

Overview 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, shown in Figure 1-1, allows a system operator to control and monitor
the facility-specific components connected to the 4010ES FACP.

 Chapter 2 Alarm Conditions
Introduction An alarm condition occurs when an initiating device (such as a manual pull station, smoke detector, etc.)
activates. The 4010ES indicates the presence of the alarm condition through messages it displays on
the alphanumeric display, by flashing the ALARM indicator, and by activating the building’s
notification appliances (horns and strobes).

Note: An alarm condition is a serious event, indicating the possibility of fire danger.In addition to using
the 4010ES operator interface panel to investigate and manage alarm conditions as
described in this chapter, you should also be aware of any facility-specific procedures that
you may be required to follow.

In this Chapter Refer to the page number listed in this table for information on a specific topic.

Alarm has • Red LED, labeled Fire Alarm flashes. Tone-
Occurred • alert (piezo buzzer) pulses.
• LEDs on remote annunciators may illuminate.
• The alphanumeric display on the interface panel indicates an alarm condition. The exact
manner in which the alphanumeric display reports information for the alarm condition depends
on whether the system’s Display First Alarm Option is enabled.
- If Display 1st Alarm Option is Enabled. The display alternates between two screens
similar to Screen 1 and Screen 2 shown below. Screen 1 is a tally screen indicating the total
number of fire alarms, priority 2 alarms, supervisory conditions, and trouble conditions
present on the panel. Screen 2 is a detailed description of the first alarm received by the
panel.

2-1
 - If Display 1st Alarm Option is not enabled. Only a screen similar to Screen 1
appears, indicating the total number of alarm conditions present on the system.

Overview - The first step in managing an alarm condition is to acknowledge the alarm. Acknowledging an
Acknowledging alarm does two important things:
Alarms • It records the time and date at which you observed the presence of an alarm, trouble, or
supervisory condition on the operator interface panel and stores that information in the system’s
historical log.
• When you press the acknowledge key, the system displays specific data on the location of the
alarm.
It is important to understand that the 4010ES can be configured with either Global or Individual
Acknowledge. Global or Individual Acknowledge is selected in the System Options sub-tab of the
Panel Tab in the ES Panel Programmer. Global Acknowledge is the default. These options function
as follows:

• Global Acknowledge. When global acknowledge is enabled, one press of the FIRE ALARM
ACK (or the PRIORITY 2 ACK) key acknowledges every abnormal point currently reporting an
alarm status. This is helpful when a series of devices enter an alarm state (for example, all of
the smoke detectors in an area of the building) and you want to acknowledge all of them at the
same time.
• Individual Acknowledge. If individual acknowledge is enabled, the FIRE ALARM ACK (or
PRIORITY 2 ACK) key must be pressed to individually acknowledge each alarm. Individual
acknowledge must be selected if the panel is providing proprietary receiving service in
accordance with NFPA72.

The FIRE ALARM ACK (or the PRIORITY 2 ACK) key, which is used to acknowledge alarms
(either globally or individually), is located just beneath the ALARMS LEDs.

Acknowledging an Alarm, Continued

Globally Use the following procedure if the Global Acknowledge option is enabled on your 4010ES
Acknowledging system.
Alarms 1. Unlock and open the enclosure door. Read the alphanumeric display on the interface panel. It
reports the number of alarm conditions as shown below.

2. Press the FIRE ALARM ACK key. Read and follow the instructions on the alphanumeric display.
After you press the FIRE ALARM ACK key, the system responds as follows:

• The tone-alert silences and the alphanumeric display reports pertinent information about the
alarm, such as the following:

2-2
 • The ALARMS LED changes from flashing to steady ON, and all alarm conditions are
acknowledged.
• Pressing the FIRE ALARM ACK key again displays information on the next alarm.
Continue to do this to review all alarms in the system.

Individually Use the following procedure if the Individual Acknowledge option is enabled on your 4010ES
Acknowledging system.
Alarms
1. Unlock and open the enclosure door. Read the alphanumeric display on the interface panel. It

Silencing an Alarm

Overview When an alarm condition exists, various signals (horns and strobes), auxiliary relays, the city connection (which
is the link to the local fire department or central station monitoring service), and the tone-alert may
activate. The ALARM SILENCE key turns OFF all devices that are programmed to turn off when it
is pressed. Typically, this will be the audible notification appliances (horns).
Note: Depending on the programming of the system, some devices may not turn off when the ALARM
SILENCE key is pressed.

At a minimum, the following occurs when the key is pressed.

• Turns OFF signal circuits (which usually connect to the Notification Appliances).
• Turns ON the ALARM SILENCED LED.
• Displays “Alarm Silence In Progress”.

You should be aware that the following functions affect the operation of the ALARM SILENCE
function.

• If a Coded Input Device (typically a pull station) activates, the <ALARM SILENCE> key may
be ignored until this function has completed coding. Notification appliances (horns) cannot be
silenced when a coded station is in alarm, but silence upon coding completion.

• If the Alarm Silence Inhibit Option -- which is a timer that inhibits the operation of the
ALARM SILENCE function – is enabled, pressing the <ALARM SILENCE> key is ignored
until the timer expires. The message “ALARM SILENCE INHIBITED” displays for a short
time to indicate the action was not taken. The message “ALARM SILENCE NO LONGER
INHIBITED” displays when the timer expires.

• If Waterflow Sprinkler Devices are activated, Notification Appliances may or may not be
silenced (depending on local code requirements). Usually, a dedicated bell will continue to
sound to indicate water flow.

• Some visual notification appliances may continue to flash until the system is reset.

Using the Alarm Press the ALARM SILENCE key and read the display. The alphanumeric display shows signal
Silence Key status and the ALARM SILENCED LED turns ON steady.
ALARM SILENCE IN PROGRESS

Resetting the System

Overview The function of the SYSTEM RESET key depends on whether active alarms are present at the time the key is
pressed.

• Active Alarms Present. Pressing the SYSTEM RESET key when alarms are present
attempts to return the system to its normal state. This includes resetting initiating devices (pull
stations and smoke detectors, for example), relays (including city relay and door holder relays),
notification appliances (horns and strobes), and all LEDs and indicators that have been

2-4
 programmed to be reset with the SYSTEM RESET key. See “Resetting a System with Active
Alarms” below for more information.

• No Active Alarms Present. Pressing the SYSTEM RESET key when no alarms are present
causes the system to perform a hardware reset. See “Performing a Hardware Reset” below for
more information.

Resetting a System Activated devices (i.e, devices in alarm) can be reset, using the SYSTEM RESET key. Doing this
with Active Alarms allows the system to return to a normal state following alarm activation. Follow these steps to
perform a System Reset when alarms are present.

1. Press the SYSTEM RESET key. The following message appears.

SYSTEM RESET IN PROGRESS

2. One of the following occurs, depending on whether the activated devices reset or not.

• If all zones or devices in alarm reset, the ALARMS LEDs flash. Press either the FIRE
ALARM ACK or the PRIORITY 2 ACK key or both, and the following message appears.

SYSTEM IS NORMAL
8:37:13 WED 17-NOV-10

• If a zone or device remains in alarm and fails to reset, the “SYSTEM RESET IN
PROGRESS” message is followed by the message shown below.

ALARM PRESENT, SYSTEM RESET ABORTED

When this message appears, the system remains in an alarm state. The display indicates the total
number of alarms present in the system along with a prompt to use the FIRE ALARM ACK (or
PRIORITY 2 ACK) key to review the points. (These points do not require acknowledgment.) The
ALARMS LED remains ON to indicate that a fire alarm device is still in the alarm condition. Read
the display to determine the type and location of the device. Follow local procedures to investigate
the area of the building in alarm. Look for devices that are in an alarm state, for example, pull
stations with the handle down or smoke detectors with their LED lit.

Resetting the System, Continued

Performing a A hardware reset reinitializes the state of certain hardware components and is typically used to reset a

2-5
Hardware Reset Class A Trouble (for example, on an IDNet or RUI channel) after the problem causing the trouble is
resolved. If you attempt to perform a hardware reset without first fixing the problem causing the
trouble, the hardware reset fails and the trouble reappears.

To perform a hardware reset, do one of the following:

• Press the SYSTEM RESET key when no alarms are present.
• From the Main Menu, go to Diagnostic Functions and select Hardware Reset.

2-6
Disabling a Point that Remains in Alarm

Overview If a device remains in alarm and no alarm condition (i.e., smoke or an activated pull station) exists, the 4010ES
provides a way to inhibit alarm reporting for the malfunctioning point. Disabling a point causes a
trouble condition for the point or zone that you disable.

The DISABLE key, which is used to disable points, may be passcode protected. If it is, you need to
first log in to the system using the passcode that enables the key. Refer to “Logging In and Out of
the System” in Chapter 6 for information on doing this.

Important Notes Be aware of the following issues related to disabling points.

• Disabling a point causes the point to NOT report alarm conditions or other status changes. A
point should not be disabled unless it is clearly understood that fire detection or security for the
area of the building covered by that point will be lost. Appropriate steps must be taken to
provide alternate means of protecting the area of the building covered by the disabled point.

• If the Service Reset option is enabled, an operator can clear an alarm condition (i.e., successfully
perform a system reset) even though the device that caused the alarm remains in a trouble state.
The typical application for this would be the case where a malfunctioning initiating device such
as a smoke detector (consisting of a base and removable sensor) causes an alarm and activates
the city circuit. With this option enabled, the sensor can be removed and the system (including
the city circuit) can be reset. Without this option enabled, removing the sensor would cause a
trouble, which would prevent the city circuit from being reset.

Important Note: Service Reset is not a UL-Approved option and enabling this option on the panel
invalidates the panel’s UL certification.

Procedure To disable a point in alarm, follow these steps.

1. Log in at a minimum level of 3.

2. Press either the FIRE ALARM ACK or the PRIORITY 2 ACK key (depending on the type of
alarm) to display the point’s information on the alphanumeric display. For example:

3. Press the DISABLE key. The alphanumeric display shows the following message.

Note: XX represents the point to be disabled.

Continued on next page

2-7
Disabling a Point that Remains in Alarm, Continued

Procedure 4. Press the ENTER key. The alphanumeric display shows the action taken.

Note: The system indicates a trouble condition each time a point is disabled. It is important to repair
the disabled point as soon as possible. Once repaired, the disabled point should be enabled
as soon as possible. See the procedure in “Enabling and Disabling Points” in Chapter 6 of
this manual.

• It records the time and date at which you observed the presence of the trouble and stores that
information in the system’s historical log.
• When you press the acknowledge key, the system displays specific data on the location of the
trouble.

It is important to understand that the 4010ES can be configured with either Global or Individual
Acknowledge. These options function as follows:

Global Versus • Global Acknowledge. When global acknowledge is enabled, one press of the TROUBLE
Individual ACK key acknowledges every point currently reporting a trouble.
Acknowledge
• Individual Acknowledge. If individual acknowledge is enabled, the TROUBLE ACK key
must be pressed to individually acknowledge each trouble. Individual acknowledge must be
selected if the panel is providing proprietary receiving service in accordance with NFPA72.

The TROUBLE ACK key, which is used to acknowledge troubles (either globally or individually), is
located just beneath the TROUBLE LED. Refer to Figure 3-1. If the TROUBLE ACK key is
passcode protected (by default, it is not), you cannot use this key to acknowledge troubles unless you
have the required passcode. Refer to “Logging In and Out of the System” in Chapter 6 for
information on how to do this.

If the Trouble Doesn’t Clear

Overview Normally, trouble points do not require acknowledgment of the cleared condition. If the system does not clear,
read the display. If the source of the trouble cannot be located, call a SimplexGrinnell branch office
to repair the system.

System Reset Key Some troubles latch until they are reset manually, or are reset by pressing the SYSTEM RESET key.
Try pressing the SYSTEM RESET key if the trouble is any one of the following:

• Style D initiating device circuit trouble.

• City Circuit trouble.
• 24 Point I/O trouble.

If pressing the SYSTEM RESET key does not clear the trouble, or if the trouble toggles (clears and
then reappears), you may choose to either disconnect the device or to disable the point, using the
procedure outlined in the next section.

Disabling a Point Keep the following in mind when disabling points:

with a Trouble
Condition • Disabling a point causes the point to NOT report alarm conditions or other status changes. A
point should not be disabled unless it is clearly understood that fire detection or security for the
area of the building covered by that point would be lost. Appropriate steps must be taken to
provide alternate means of protecting the area of the building covered by the disabled point.
• Repair or replace the failed device or circuit as soon as possible. Once repaired, the disabled
point should be enabled as soon as possible.

1. Press the TROUBLE ACK key to display the point’s information on the alphanumeric display.
For example:

2. Press the Disable key. The alphanumeric display shows the following message.

 Chapter 4 Supervisory Conditions
Introduction A Supervisory condition indicates that
• some part of the building’s fire protection system is disabled. An example of this is a sprinkler
tamper switch being activated due to a fire sprinkler control valve being closed.
• a lower priority initiating device (such as a duct smoke detector) has been triggered. Depending
on the system design, a Supervisory point can be:
• Latching. The panel must be reset to clear the Supervisory condition.
• Non-latching. The indicators (LED, buzzer, etc.) turn off automatically when the condition
clears.

This chapter describes using the Operator Interface Panel keys to investigate the details of the
supervisory condition.

 Chapter 5 Selecting Points for Status and
Control
Introduction Many of the advanced operations that can be accomplished from the operator interface first require you to
select the point on which you want to perform the operation. Points can be selected in one of three
ways.

• Alarm, Trouble, Supervisory List. Points that are reporting an alarm, trouble, or
supervisory condition can be selected from the active alarm, trouble, or supervisory list.
• Using the Menu. The menu system includes an option that allows you to scroll through each
category (monitor, signal, etc.) of point, and then after selecting a category, you can scroll
through the points for the category.
• Using the Entry Keys. The Entry keys, located on the far right of the operator interface,
contain abbreviated labels for each category of point. (For example, the key in the upper left
corner of the Entry keys is labeled “ZONE” and the key to its right is labeled “SIG.” Pressing
one of these keys causes the system to prompt you to select a specific point within the selected
category.

Logging In and Out of the System

Introduction The 4010ES system uses four access levels, referred to by the numbers one through four, to control what
system operators can do with the system. The system typically operates at access level one, which
allows an operator to accomplish basic tasks (for example, acknowledge alarm, trouble, and
supervisory conditions) without logging in to the system.

Other functions – for example, the use of the user-defined function keys – are passcode protected to
prevent access by unauthorized personnel.

Log In Procedure Follow these steps to log in to the system at access level two, three, or four. The keypad used to enter
the passcode is located behind the interface panel access door.

1. Obtain the passcode for the access level at which you want to operate.
2. Press the Menu key. The alphanumeric display shows the following message.

3. Press the ENTER key on the Entry keypad. The following message displays:

6-1
 4. Press the 1 key on the Entry keypad. The display shows the following message.

5. Enter the passcode for the access level. The passcode can be up to 10 numbers in length. Press
the ENTER key on the Entry keypad when you have finished entering the code. An X is
displayed for each digit of your passcode, as shown below.

Continued on next page

shown.

After a brief pause, the system displays the granted access level, such as the level 2 message shown
below.

Press the C/EXIT key twice. The display shows the system status.

Log Out Procedure Failure to log out allows unauthorized personnel access to the various passcode protected functions. If
no keypad activity is detected for ten minutes, the system returns to Level 1 access.

Perform the following procedure to log out and return the operator access level to Level 1.

1. Press the Menu key. The following message is displayed

6-2
 Log Out Procedure
3. Press the 2 key. After a brief pause, the display shows a message similar to the one below.

4. Press the DEL key to exit. The display shows the system status.

Setting System Time and Date

Procedure Follow these steps to set the time and date used by the 4010ES FACP. Ensuring that the current time and date
are correct on the system is important. In particular, the accuracy of historical logs and reports
depends on the system time.

1. Press the Menu key. Press the Next or Previous key until the display shows the option for
setting time and date.

2. Press the ENTER key. The system responds as follows:

3. Press the More Info key. The display shows the time and date and places an underline character
under the hour, meaning it is the part of the time and date that can be changed.

4. Set the time and date as follows:

6-3
 • Time. Use the < and > keys to move the underline character between hours and minutes.
Use the Next and Previous keys to increment or decrement the value. For example, to
change the minutes, first use the < and > keys to move the highlight under the minutes field.
Then use the Next and Previous keys to change the value of the minutes field.

• Date. Use the < and > keys to move the underline character between the components of the
date field. Use the Next and Previous keys to increment or decrement the value of the field
until it is correct.

5. When the date and time are correct, press the ENTER key.

Viewing the Time at which an Event Occurred

Overview The system records the time at which each alarm, trouble, and supervisory event occurs. You can view this
information in one of two ways:

• By displaying or printing the historical alarm or trouble log. Refer to “Displaying Historical
Logs” later in this chapter for information on doing this.

• By scrolling through the list of active alarm, trouble, or supervisory conditions, selecting a
specific event, and using the Event Time key. Refer to the procedure below for information on
doing this.

Procedure Select the alarm, trouble, or supervisory event whose event time you want to display. To do this, follow these
steps:

1. Press the FIRE ALARM ACK, PRIORITY 2 ACK, TROUBLE ACK, or SUPV. ACK key to
enter the appropriate list of events. (For example, press the FIRE ALARM ACK key to enter the
list of active fire alarms.)

2. Use the Next and Previous keys to scroll through the list until the alarm in which you are
interested is displayed.

3. Press the Event Time key. The time at which the alarm, priority 2 alarm, trouble, or supervisory
occurred appears in the display.

6-4
Enabling and Disabling Points

Overview Enabling and disabling points is sometimes necessary when performing maintenance on the system. When using
this function, it is critical that you understand whether Custom Control (either the system’s default
Custom Control or any user Custom Control) makes reference to the point or not. Actions driven by
custom control are suspended for the duration of time the point is disabled, but execute immediately
after the point is enabled.

Example. Suppose you disable a signal point and during the time the point is disabled, a Custom
Control equation executes that turns the point ON. This action is suspended for the duration of time
the point is disabled. However, when the point is subsequently enabled, the point’s state updates and
the Custom Control equation turning the point ON executes, turning the signal ON.

Procedure Follow these steps to enable or disable a point.

1. Select the point. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting points.

2. Press the Disable or Enable key.

3. Press the ENTER key to carry out the action.

The system generates a “Disable Trouble” to remind you that the point is disabled. When you enable
the point again, the trouble clears.

6-5
Forcing Points On and Off

Overview Forcing a control point ON assigns a priority of 1 to the point, preventing system control until the point is
returned to automatic control. For example, you can force a relay or signal point ON to test or
execute its function. Unlike Enable/Disable (see description in previous section), a point that you
force OFF does not refresh its state when the point is turned back ON.

Example. Suppose you turn a signal point OFF and during the time the point is disabled, a Custom
Control equation executes that turns the point ON. When the point is subsequently returned to
automatic operation, the point’s state does not update and the Custom Control equation turning the
point ON does not execute. Points that have been returned to automatic operation will update the
next time an equation that outputs to that point is evaluated.

Forcing Points ON Follow these steps to force a point ON or OFF.

and OFF
1. Select the point. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting points.

2. Press the ON or OFF key.

3. Press the ENTER key to carry out the action.

The system generates a “Manual Override Trouble” for the point to remind you that the point has
been forced ON or OFF.

Returning a Point Automatic operation is the normal operation of the point. For example, if the point is a signal point,
to Automatic a setting of AUTOMATIC indicates that the point is back under system control.
Operation
To return the state of a point that is currently ON or OFF to AUTOMATIC, follow these steps.

1. Select the point. Refer to Chapter 5 for information on selecting points.

2. Press the AUTOMATIC key.

3. Press the ENTER key to carry out the action.

The system clears the “Manual Override Trouble”.

Displaying and Clearing Historical Logs

Overview Historical logs provide a record of both the events that have occurred on the system and the actions taken by an
operator to manage those events. The system contains the following logs.

• Historical Alarm Log. Provides detailed information on each alarm, including time and date
stamp, that has occurred since the last time the logs were cleared.

• Historical Trouble Log. Provides detailed information on each trouble, including time and date
stamp, that has occurred since the last time the logs were cleared.

Displaying/Clearing 1. Press the Menu key. Use the Next and Previous keys to scroll through the choices until the
Historical Logs “DISPLAY HISTORICAL ALARM LOG” or “DISPLAY HISTORICAL TROUBLE LOG”

• Step 1. Create WalkTest Groups. The 4010ES supports up to eight WalkTest groups.
This allows the building to be divided into small portions for the WalkTest, and allows the
rest of the building to be protected by the fire alarm panel. Each group has a list of monitor
points (initiating devices) and a list of the 4010ES signal circuits that activate when one of
the group’s control points activates.

Refer to Chapter 9 of the ES Panel Programmer’s Manual (574-849) for information on adding
monitor points (initiating devices) and signals/relays to a WalkTest group.

• Step 2. Enable WalkTest Options from Front Panel. These options include the
following. Refer to the “Setting WalkTest Options” later in this section for information on
setting these options.

- Which WalkTest Group is enabled.

- Whether the group’s signals turn on when a monitor point in the same group activates.
Turn this option on (along with the WalkTest logging option) to perform a silent WalkTest
on the system.
- Whether logging of WalkTest information is enabled or not. (Enable this option to perform
a silent WalkTest.)

Step 3. Manually Activate Initiating Devices in Each Group and Interpret Signals.
Individually activate each initiating device in the group, using a magnet or canned smoke. Make
sure to proceed in a logical manner (i.e., start with the lowest IDNet address and work toward the
highest). Each time you activate an initiating device, the system’s signals pulse a code that allows
you to verify exactly which initiating device triggered the signals. For hardwired monitor zones, the
signal code corresponds to the number of the zone. (For example, if the zone number is eight, the
signals pulse eight times to indicate zone eight.) For IDNet devices, the first set of pulses from the
signals corresponds to the channel. The signals then pause momentarily and the second set of pulses
corresponds to the number of the device on the channel. For example, if you activate an IDNet
smoke detector with an address of M1-25, the signals sound once to indicate channel one, pause for a
short duration, and then sound 2 times, pause, and then sound 5 times to indicate device 25.

In some cases, immediately after verifying the function of an initiating device, you may also want to
verify its ability to generate a trouble condition. To do this, cause a trouble on the device (i.e.,
remove the sensor from a TrueAlarm device), and then listen to the signals. The signals sound
steady for 4 seconds to indicate trouble conditions, then reset.

Important Notes Signals and initiating devices (with the exception of pull stations) automatically acknowledge and
automatically reset, allowing for one-man testing without the need for someone at the main control
panel to acknowledge and reset the system each time an initiating device and its associated signals
activate.

A silent Walk Test may be performed (no signals will sound) and logging of events may be selected.
Refer to “Setting WalkTest Options” below for additional information.

If an alarm condition is detected from a zone that is not in the present active Walk Test group, the
system will operate as a fire alarm panel and the active Walk Test groups are aborted.

Setting
WalkTest Options

Enabling WalkTest 1. Press the Menu key and then use the Next and Previous keys until “ENABLE WALKTEST?” is
for a Group displayed. Press ENTER.
2. Use the Next and Previous keys to scroll through the WalkTest groups until the group that you
want to test is displayed. Press ENTER. A screen similar to the following appears.

Setting Options Each of the options shown in the example above is associated with a number from one to four. Pressing
the associated number on the keypad toggles the setting of the option. The arrow points to choice
currently enabled for the option.

Example. The first option shown above( 1 = on --> OFF )allows you to turn WalkTest on and off
for the group you selected in Step 2 above. In the example, the arrow points to OFF, indicating that
WalkTest is not currently on for the selected group. To turn it on, you would press the number 1 on
the keypad. When you do this, the arrow turns around to indicate that ON is selected and the option
reads 1 = ON <-- off.

The options are as follows:

Allows you to enable or disable logging. If the arrow
points to LOG, logging is enabled. If the arrow points
2 = no --> LOG to NO, logging is disabled. Press 2 on the keypad to
toggle the setting of this option.
When ZONE is selected, the signals play a code that
indicates the activated initiating device’s address. (For
hardwired zones, the signals sound the number of the
zone. For IDNet, the code has two parts, separated by
3 = ? --> ZONE
a pause. The first part indicates the channel and the
second part indicates the device number. When ? is
selected, the signals play 2 ¼ second pulses. Press 3
on the keypad to toggle the setting of this option.

 Allows you to configure a silent WalkTest (i.e., no
signals are used). Make sure to enable the logging of
WalkTest events, which allows each zone with an
4 = no --> SIG abnormal condition to be time tagged and added to the
log. See previous option above. When SIG is selected,
signals sound during the WalkTest. When NO is
selected, no signals are used during the WalkTest.
TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test

Overview The TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test is used in conjunction with the TrueNAC Circuit Design tool. A job is first
designed using the TrueNAC Circuit Design tool. The tool provides a report with job layout and
device voltages. After the job is installed, the TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test is run to verify proper
installation of the 4906 devices.
The TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test determines the line voltage for notification appliances that are
connected to a TrueAlert Power Supply’s (TPS) Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) channels, under worst
case panel operating conditions. It differs from simply checking with a meter, in that the voltage
output of the panel under nominal operating conditions is typically higher than the voltage output
under worst case conditions (e.g. on end-of-life batteries). Prior to the start of the test, the horn
volume is selected to be either “ON” (horns set to high volume) or “OFF” (silent testing of the
system).
The TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test is compatible only with the 4906 series TrueAlert devices
connected to a TrueAlert Power Supply (TPS). It is not compatible with the Extended System
Supply or TrueAlert ES appliances. The test can be run on a single TrueAlert SLC, or on all the
TPS’s in the system.

• If older "fixed” candela devices are present, the tool will indicate incompatible devices and will
not run. This will also be indicated in the report.

• TPS PCAs Revision E and older may be updated with the latest slave code to run the TrueNAC
Voltage Drop Test. The results will be less accurate than with Revision F or later TPSs. The
reports will also indicate the use of an older TPS and caution that results are less accurate.

• If older TPS slave code (1.04 and earlier) is installed on a newer TPS PCA (Revision F or later),
a "HW CONFIG/SW REV MISMATCH TROUBLE" trouble will be indicated on the panel.

The TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test performs the following diagnostic verification:
• Devices are polled and report terminal voltage, candela rating, and device type to the 4010ES.
• The line impedance of the SLC channel is determined through the TrueNAC algorithm.
• Notification Appliances that fall below the device threshold are reported as failed devices to the
4010ES, and the panel indicates TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test failed trouble.

Devices that have failed the TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test require the following actions:
• Fix the device with the lowest voltage as indicated in the TrueNAC status report.
• Repeat the TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test.

The 4010ES keeps track of the devices that failed the TrueNAC Voltage Drop test. A trouble alarm
is indicated on the panel for devices that failed the test. This trouble is cleared after hardware reset.
The TrueNAC Voltage Drop Test must be repeated to verify that all troubles are fixed.

Accessing the To gain access to the TrueNAC Voltage Drop diagnostic test, you must login with an access level
TrueNAC Voltage higher than level one (Refer to Chapter 6 for access level discussion).

Disable IDNET CO Algorithms

Overview The Disable IDNET CO Algorithms is one of the options available under the Diagnostics menu, at the front panel
of the 4010ES. When choosing this option, the technician ensures that the CO sensors will get a
testing threshold downloaded and the CO over time is disabled. With the Disable IDNET CO
Algorithms option on, the technician can then proceed to test the devices with the WalkTest option
Enabled or Disabled. When the Disable IDNET CO Algorithms is entered, a trouble will be
generated. The trouble screen that will appear will look as follows:

Since all three possible sensors (photo, heat and CO) could be tested simultaneously, the LED on the
base will be used to give the technician an indication of the test result. The LED states and their
meanings are as follows:
• LED OFF - No sensors have passed the test.
• LED ON - At least one sensor has passed the test (If testing only one sensor this is the LED state
you'd expect if the test passed).
• LED FLASHING - All sensors for this device have passed the test (Note: This could be 2 or 3
sensors depending on what type of CO combination device is configured. This state will not be
seen if only a single sensor is being tested).

Because the sensors can either be tested one at a time or by combining multiple technologies into a
single test, one can follow two similar approaches to complete the tests. and show the two flowcharts
denoting those approaches.
