The 4010 is a single-channel, addressable, modular FACP that monitors and

controls up to 250 IDNet addressable devices. The Standard Function

Input/Output (SFI/O) card, power supply, and cabinet provide a complete firealarm control panel for most applications. Optional modules mount to the

chassis to provide additional outputs, network communication, and additional

power. Additionally, the 4010 can automatically control supplementary

equipment such as fire doors and fans during an alarm condition using its

auxiliary relay outputs.

This chapter provides an overview of the PC Programmer application and

discusses 4010 FACP Version 2.x feature enhancements and Version 2.x

upgrade requirements.

The Simplex Programmer application provides a graphical interface for

programming the 4010 FACP. This application contains the following major

components.

A set of Tabs corresponding to the major programmable components of the4010 system. Clicking on a tab gains access to a window that allows you to

program a specific set of system attributes. Figure 1-1 shows the location

of the tabs. Refer to Tabslater in this section for specific information.

Icons that allow you to quickly perform routine tasks such as printing,

saving a job, etc. Refer to Figure 1-2 for a quick reference on each icons

function.

Menus containing groups of similar choices. All menu choices have a

counterpart on the Icon Bar.

Each tab contains a group of related programming functions, as follows:

The Panel Taballows you to do the following:

- Edit general information such as network, panel, branch, and listinginformation- Select and program system options, such as Alarm Silence Inhibit,

Alarm Cutout Timer, etc.

- Define passcodes for access levels one through four- Set access levels for various system functions (Fire Alarm

Acknowledge, etc.)

The Card Taballows you to do the following:

- Add and delete cards- Program user-defined LEDs and function keys

- Edit each points hardware device type, point type, and custom label ona per-card basis

The Site Tabprovides a means of creating a two-dimensional

representation of a job site. This involves creating and adding labels that

represent the building components -- floors, offices, hallways, etc. -- to the

site tree, and associating points with the correct label. (For example, if the

site tree contains a label named LOBBY, you would associate the points

located in the Lobby area with the LOBBY label.)

Use the PointTab to do the following:

- List points

- Edit each points hardware device type, point type, or custom label- AutoFill a points custom label field- Search for a point, based on its name, device type, point type, or label- Spell check custom labels

The ListTaballows you to create and edit system lists.

Custom Control Tabprovides a graphical interface for creating Custom

Control equations. A significant advantage of this interface is the ability to

display all of an equations operators and points.

Table 1-1 summarizes the Version 2.x feature enhancements. Refer to the next

section of this manual for a list of the hardware and software components

required to support these features.

Feature Description

Support for 4009 IDNetNAC Extender

Version 2.x provides the ability to connect the 4009 IDNet NAC Extenderto the 4010. Key features of the new 4009 include:

Standard unit provides four Class B NACs (rated 2A @ 24 VDC),power supply (8A) and charger.

IDNet Communication and Control. Provides status monitoring andindividual NAC control using a single IDNet address.

Option cards include:

- Class A Adapter

- Four-circuit NAC card provides four additional NACs, rated 1.5A@ 24 VDC

- IDNet Repeater permits additional 2500 cable run for IDNetapplications

- IDNet Fiber Optic receiver card accepts IDNet transmission fromup to 3000 over fiber optic conductors.

TrueAlarm UtilityTemperature Sensing

TrueAlarm utility temperature sensingachieved by assigning the

UTILITY point type to a TrueAlarm heat sensor pointallows you tocreate Custom Control equations that monitor the heat sensor and triggeroutput(s) when a threshold temperature is reached.

Day/Night Programming

The addition of Day/Night programming to Custom Control allows devicesto be controlled differently at different times of the day. A commonapplication for this type of programming is to decrease the sensitivity of aTrueAlarm Photo sensor during the day and increase its sensitivity atnight.

60 Equation CustomControl Capacity

The number of Custom Control equations allowed by the 4010 has beenincreased from 40 to 60.

Discrete Battery ChargerTrouble

A discrete Battery Charger Trouble was added to Version 2.x, providingmore exact trouble reporting for charger-related problems. Version 1.x ofthe system reported only a common trouble.

Faster Earth FaultSearch Diagnostics

Version 2.x incorporates a revised polling sequence for Earth FaultSearch Diagnostics, resulting in improved cycle times and faster location

Support for AHJ AlarmCity Circuit

Programming

Version 2.x adds the ability to reset a City Circuit in the following situation: If the device(s) in alarm is physically removed.

No other devices are in an alarm state.

System Reset is performed.

Enabling City Circuit reset is done via Custom Control.

TrueAlert Non-Addressable Devices

Version 2.x includes support for TrueAlert Non-Addressable NAC devices.With these devices, horn control occurs over the same two wires thatpower and fire the strobe appliances, allowing horns and strobes to existon the same NAC and still be controlled separately (i.e., horns on untilsilenced while strobes remain on until reset). Important points toremember about TrueAlert Non-Addressable NAC devices include:

Hardware Device Type. TrueAlert Non-Addressable NACs use ahardware device type of either SIGA (Class A NAC) or SIGB (Class BNAC).

Software Device Types. Two separate software point types supporttwo distinct modes of operation:

- QALERT device type has no automatic operation. All operationsfor this type of device type must be programmed with CustomControl.

- SQALERT device type automatically turns on the designatedcircuit on alarm detect (general alarm), issues the horn silencecommand upon Alarm Silence, and turns off the circuit at thecompletion of System Reset. Any point programmed with the

SQALERT point type is not available for use in Custom Controlprogramming.

Quick CFIG. TrueAlert Non-Addressable functionality is notsupported by the front panel Quick CFIG option. You must manuallyprogram TrueAlert hardware and software device types, using eitherthe front panel interface or the PC Programmer.

Horn Operation. Operation of TrueAlert Non-Addressable Horns isthrough the new TrueAlert Horn Operationsystem option. Possibleselections for this option are STEADY, TEMPORAL, and SLOWMARCH.

Alarm Operation. In an alarm condition, any NAC programmed withthe SQALERT device type automatically activates. Horns operate asdefined by the TrueAlert Horn Operationsystem option, and strobes

activate. Pressing Alarm Silence turns off the horns, leaving thestrobes active. System reset automatically turns TrueAlert NACs off.

SMPL Programming. The QALERT point type provides CustomControl capability for TrueAlert Non-Addressable devices. Existingopcodes such as ON, OFF, S MARCH, F MARCH, and TEMPORALprovide standard functionality, and a new opcode HORN OFF provides specific control of TrueAlert Non-Addressable horns.

Table 1-2 lists the 4010 FACPs features and indicates whether a specific

hardware or software component is required to support a specific feature or set

of features.

Keep the following in mind when reviewing this table:

4010 Phase 1 features are compatible with any mix of SFIO card, SFIO

firmware, BIN file, and programmer software (BIN and programmer

software must be same revision level).

The REV. C SFIO board provides improved overload protection for the U9

voltage regulator.

TrueAlert Non-Addressable functionality for the 4010 SFIOs NACs

requires the REV. C SFIO board, Version 2 SFIO firmware, and a Version

2 of the BIN file and programmer application.

Discrete battery trouble reporting requires the REV. C SFIO board, Version

2 SFIO firmware, and a Version 2 of the BIN file and programmer

application.

4009 IDNet NACs require either the REV. B or REV. C SFIO board,

Version 2 SFIO firmware, and Version 2 of the BIN file and programmer

application.

All other 4010 Version 2 features are supported by either version of the

SFIO card and SFIO firmware, but you must have Version 2 of the BIN file

and programmer application.

Using the programmer to edit jobs on a panel containing older versions of the

SFIO chip and board has the following effect:

After saving the job, the panel tags the job as a Phase II job.

Subsequent editing of the job cannot take advantage of the full set of PhaseII features, despite the jobs Phase II designation.

Because this situation may become confusing, it is recommended that you

upgrade the panels SFIO card and SFIO firmware before editing its job with the

Phase II programmer.

The 4010 FACP includes the Quick CFIG utility, an automatic configuration

tool that automatically detects 4010 points. For most new installations, it is

more efficient to run 4010 Quick CFIG from the front panel and then upload the

CFIG from the 4010 to the PC Programmer, where any changes to the point

types, custom labels, and system options can be made.

Using Quick CFIG on a new panel configures the panel for general alarm

operation as follows:

All initiating devices found by Quick CFIG are assigned a FIRE point type.

SIG1 and SIG2 are set to point type SSIGNAL. SIG3 and SIG4 are set to

RSIGNAL.

AUX1 is set to point type RRELAY. AUX2 is set to TRELAY.

Remote annunciators are detected at their set address.

Hardware that is not automatically configured includes:

Graphic annunciators

Suppression points

Network card

SDACT or CCDACT card

The Quick CFIG Reconfigure All Hardware option, described in this section,

creates a new 4010 configuration.

Note1: If a configuration exists and this option is selected, it clears the current

configuration and adds all currently connected devices to the CFIG.

Note 2: Quick CFIG terminates if duplicate IDNet devices are detected. If this

happens, run Quick CFIG again and watch the LCD. Before the

program terminates, it will list the first seven duplicate addresses

found.

This section describes creating a new job with the PC programmer. Doing this

creates a job with limited definitions for the devices (i.e., no custom labels and

default device type or point types assigned to IDNet points). This is useful for

off-site configuration of a system.

After creating a job in this manner, refer to the subsequent chapters in this book

for information on adding option cards to the job, defining system options,

defining device and point types, and adding custom control equations.

Skip this section if you used Quick CFIG to create a new job and uploaded it to

the laptop.

Note: Each branch is responsible for assigning and archiving jobs. Theexception to this is a network job, in which case the network job

number must be assigned by Simplex Applications Engineering.

1. Start the programmer, as described in the previous section.

Enter a name for the job in the Job Number field. It is recommended that you

use a seven-character number with the following format:

BBYMTJJ

BB= Branch Number (1296 possible numbers using the Base 36numbering

system.) See Appendix B for a Base 36 conversion table.

Y= Year (0 = 1997; 1 = 1998;. . . A = 2007)

M= Month (1 = Jan; 2 = Feb; . . . C = Dec)

T= Panel Type (D = 4010)

JJ= Job number (1296 jobs per branch per month possible using the Base 36

numbering system.) See Appendix B for a Base 36 conversion table.

Example: Job 3004D01 translates to the following:

Branch Number: 108 (becomes 30using the Base 36 numbering

system)

Year: 1997 (becomes 0)

Month: April (becomes 4)

Panel Type: 4010 (becomes D)

Job Number: 01 (still 01using the Base 36 numbering system)

Note: See Appendix B for the Base 10 to Base 36 Conversion Table.

If you enter a Job Name that does not conform to this convention, a warning

message box is presented reminding you of the Job Name format. However, a

non-conforming Job Name will be allowed as long as it follows the DOS file-

naming conventions and only contains characters that are part of the 4010

character set. All alpha characters entered will be automatically converted to

upper-case.

When you create a new job file, the Programmer places the letter Aat the end

of your seven-character job name. Each time you open this job and make a

revision, the revision letter is also upgraded.

Examine the entry for the System Type drop down list box. The selection must

read 4010. Click on this list box and change the currently selected system

type to 4010if necessary.

The System Options panel, located at the bottom of Figure 4-2, allows you to

specify whether the 4010 system is operating as a standalone or networked

system. This panel contains the following three choices:

Standalone Systemspecifies that the 4010 is not connected via a 4120

network to other panels.

New Networkspecifies that the 4010 is physically connected to other

panels, but no network job exists in the 4010s \NETJOBS folder. In this

case, you must specify a network job number in the Job Number field of

Figure 4-2. Make sure to specify only a job number supplied by Simplex

Applications Engineering.

Existing Networkspecifies that the 4010 is connected to other panels, and

the job has been previously programmed.

By default, previously programmed jobs are stored in either the \4010JOBSor

the \NETJOBSdirectory. If the job for the panel that you are currently

programming is stored on the PC, use the following procedure to open it for

additional editing.

You should only do this if you are sure that the job on the PC is exactly the same

as the programming (CFIG) currently in use on the panel. For example, if you

have made changes to the panels programming from the 4010 front panel, it

may be more desirable to upload the CFIG from the panel to the laptop PC

before performing additional programming. See the next section for details.
