Cautions and Warnings
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 Simplex.
ELECTRICAL HAZARD – Disconnect electrical power when making any internal adjustments or repairs. Servicing should be performed by qualified Simplex Representatives.
STATIC HAZARD – Static electricity can damage components. Therefore, handle as follows:
- Ground yourself before opening or installing components.
- Keep component wrapped in anti-static material at all times.
Introduction
The Simplex 4009 NAC Power Extender (Figure 1) provides additional DC signaling capacity to a Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with a reverse polarity Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC). The 4009 is UL-listed, electricallysupervised, and protected against brown-out conditions and loss of primary AC power.
Figure 1. Simplex 4009 NAC Power Extender
The 4009 connects as an end-of-line device to a compatible, dedicated
notification appliance circuit from the host panel (e.g., Simplex 4001 or
4002).
It provides eight amperes of DC signaling power to either four or eight
supervised reverse-polarity NACs, style Y or style Z. Alarms from the host
panel signal the four (or eight) 4009 NACs to extend the alarm.
The 4009 can also minimize transmission line losses associated with sending
large currents long distances within buildings. In a fire alarm system with
the
4009, power supply and batteries for notification appliances are located near
the actual signaling devices, saving system power and battery capacity while
minimizing line losses. The 4009 monitors each output NAC if a trouble occurs.
EARTH fault detection is maintained by the host FACP. Simplex currently
provides for earth detection at the 4009 via an earth detect module. The
signal cards are set for isolated mode and the 4009 now provides EARTH fault
capability
Hardware Components
Features of the 4009 include:
- Style Y or Z (Class A or B) NACs
- Four or eight NACs, controlled in groups of four
- Eight amperes of DC Signaling Power
- EARTH fault capability of host FACP retained
- Earth fault capability at 4009 if desired
- Two-wire operation from host FACP
- 4001-Size back box.
- 18 Ah battery charger (Provides charging for 10 Ah batteries internally and
18 Ah batteries externally [4009-9801 battery cabinet required])
Modules available with the 4009 NAC Power Extender include:
- 565-367 or 565-488 Power Supply
- 565-386 or 565-569 Style Y (Class B) Signal Card
- 565-388 or 565-545 Style Z (Class A) Signal Card
- 565-558 Earth Detect Card
565-367 or 565-488 POWER SUPPLY
If the 4009 is used with a 4001 system, adequate power from the host FACP may not be available for the NACs and system use. The power supply used in the 4009 is a linear supply with brownout and battery charger features. Power supply capacity is adequate for battery charging. Battery charging is limited to 18 Ah, (10 Ah internally/ 18 Ah externally with 4009-9801 battery cabinet) so provisions are made to allow connection of external battery power. The charger is disabled when external batteries are used.
565-386 or 565-569 STYLE Y (CLASS B) SIGNAL CARD
This module allows supervision of four Style Y (Class B) circuits with one signal circuit from a 4001, 4002, 4020, or 4100/4100+ (or any reverse polarity signal circuit operating at 24 VDC). It also accepts a +24V auxiliary alarm input, and can be supervised by the host FACP. All four signal circuit alarm relays energize with an alarm from the host signal circuit. A short or open circuit trouble on any of the four circuits results in an open condition at the host signal circuit, causing the required trouble indication at the host FACP.
565-388 or 565-545 STYLE Z (CLASS A) SIGNAL CARD
This 565-388 is functionally identical to the 565-386 Signal Card and the 565- 545 is functionally identical to the 565-569 Signal Card, except that these Signal Cards provide for Style Z (Class A) wiring of outgoing circuits.
System Configuration
A functional block diagram depicting the interconnections between modules is shown in Figure 2. Alarm signal and 0V connections provide alarm and trouble operation. The host FACP can detect EARTH faults on any NAC wiring from the signal card.
Note: 4009 installed local to host panel:
- Connect to NAC (+) and Panel 0V when earth detect module is not used.
- Connect to NAC (+) and NAC (-) when earth detect module is used. 4009 installed remote to host panel:
- Use earth detect module and connect to NAC (+) and NAC (-)
Figure 2. 4009 Functional Block Diagram
Power to the second Signal Card is harnessed in the field, the card is installed as an after-market option. The 733-805 wiring harness is provided in the aftermarket kit, and is connected from P2 of the second signal card to TB1 of the 565-367 or 565-488 Power Supply.
Note: Make certain that the second Signal Card has its P3 jumper set to position 1-2
Alarm Input Requirements
When using 565-386 or 565-388 signal cards the alarm input from the host
NAC must be 20 to 32 volts DC, with a maximum ripple voltage of 2 volts peakto
peak.
When using 565-545 or 565-569 signal cards the alarm input from the host NAC must be 18 to 32 volts DC, unfiltered power supplies can be used.
Alarm current for all signal card configurations is a maximum of 2 A at 24 VDC per circuit, and is power-limited. Minimum alarm current per Signal Card (total of four circuits) must be 0.9 VDC. (See the 841-925 Field Wiring Diagram.)

Mounting the 4009
Note: The following pages provide a detailed description of the
installation.
If you experience problems that cannot be resolved, call your local Simplex
Branch Office.
Use the following procedure when mounting a 4009.
- Carefully open the shipping container.
- Remove the 4009 from the shipping container and lay the unit on a flat surface.
- Unlock and open the panel door.
- Remove the knockout plugs on the back box for wire entry.
- At the 4009 mounting location, install the 4009 back box as shown in Figure 3.
a. Position the back box on two wall-mounted screws capable of supporting the panel with batteries using the special keyholes at the top of the box.
b. Tighten screws until snug.
c. Insert a mounting screw in each of the two mounting holes at the bottom of the box and tighten these screws until snug.
Note: For semi-flush mounting, the back box must be extended 1 1/2 inches from the finished wall.

Wiring the 4009
When wiring the 4009, refer to the 841-925 Field Wiring Diagram, the Wiring
Information mounted on the inside of the 4009 panel door, the 4009 NAC Power
Extender Connection Diagram (Figure 4), and the following system wiring
requirements.
- All wiring, except incoming power and ground connecting wires, must be free from grounds or shorts and have a resistance of one megohm, or higher, to EARTH.
- All wires are to be copper conductors only.
- All wiring must be terminated with UL listed devices (e.g., wire nuts, pressure connectors). Wiring terminated with only electrical tape is not permitted. All splicing (free ends of conductors) must be covered with an insulation equivalent to that of the conductors.
- When running wires to the 4009, identify the wires appropriately: Input power, dedicated NAC wiring, external battery connection (if required), and the four NAC circuits (an additional four NAC circuits are available as a field-installed option).
