Description
The Simplex addressable manual station combines the familiar Simplex
manual station housing with a compact communication module
that is easily installed to satisfy demanding applications. Its integral
individual addressable module (IAM) constantly monitors status and
communicates changes to the connected control panel through IDNet or
MAPNET II communications wiring.
Operation
Activation of the 4099-9004 single action manual station requires a
firm downward pull to activate the alarm switch. Completing the action
breaks an internal plastic break-rod which is visible below the pull lever,
use is optional. The use of a break-rod can be a deterrent to vandalism
without interfering with the minimum pull requirements needed for easy
activation. The pull lever latches into the alarm position and remains
extended out of the housing to provide a visible indication.
Single Action NO GRIP Station 4099-9021. For applications such as
California Building Code, Title 24, which requires "Controls and operating
mechanisms shall be operable with one hand and shall not require
tight grasping, pinching or twisting of the wrist" the model 4099-9021
station provides a more easily operated pull lever compared to standard
stations. Retrofit of existing stations is available using the 4099-9805
Retrofit kit.
Double Action Stations (Breakglass) require the operator to strike
the front mounted hammer to break the glass and expose the recessed
pull lever. The pull lever then operates as a single action station.
Double Action Stations (Push Type) require that a spring loaded
interference plate, marked PUSH, be pushed back to access the pull
lever of the single action station.
Station reset requires the use of a key to reset the manual station lever
and deactivate the alarm switch. If you use the break-rod, you must
replace it.
Station testing is performed by physical activation of the pull lever. You
can also perform electrical testing by unlocking the station housing to
activate the alarm switch.
