Introduction

The 4009-9201 (120VAC) or 4009-9301 (220/240VAC) IDNet™ Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Extender is a self-contained adjunct panel for use with Simplex Fire Alarm  Control Panels (FACPs). The base version of the 4009 IDNet NAC Extender ( 4009 IDNet) is a single-board system consisting of four NACs, a power supply and charger, an IDNet slave interface, and two conventional NAC inputs for hardwired control (not applicable to the 4009 IDNet as an IDNet device). Option cards are available to provide the following additional capabilities:

• 4009- 9808 Class A Adapter Option Card – allows fault tolerance in the case of open circuit wiring faults on the NACs.
• 4009-9807 NAC Option Card – adds four conventional Notification Appliance Circuits.
• 4009-9809 IDNet Repeater Option Card – regenerates and provides a power and distance boost for the IDNet channel. When IDNet Repeater Option Card is used, the fiber option is not available to the 4009 IDNet.
• 4009-9810 (Class B)/4009-9811 (Class A) Fiber Optic Receiver – receives IDNet communication over a fiber optic channel and regenerates the IDNet signal. The fiber option is used with the 4090-9105 (Class B)/4090-9107 (Class A) Fiber Optic Transmitter to form an IDNet fiber link.

4009 IDNet NAC Extender

Introduction continued

The 4009 IDNet connects as an end-of-line device to a compatible notification appliance circuit from the host panel. 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 IDNet NACs to extend the alarm.
The 4009 IDNet can also minimize transmission line losses associated with sending large currents long distances within buildings. In a fire alarm system with the 4009 IDNet power supply and batteries for notification, appliances are located near the actual notification appliances, saving system power and battery capacity while minimizing line losses.

Figure 1. Simplex 4009 IDNet NAC Extender (4009 IDNet)

4009 IDNet Configuration

When the desired options have been installed in the 4009 IDNet, set the Hardware Configuration Switch SW1 to match the installed options (see Table 1). If the 4009 is not connected to IDNet, set SW1/Position 8 to ON for hardwire control (see paragraph “Hardwired 4009 IDNet Control”). The desired control options for the 4009 IDNet are set by the Software Configuration DIP Switch SW2 (see Tables 2 and 3).
When the 4009 IDNet is connected to IDNet, set the Hardware Configuration Switch SW1 (see Table 1) to match the installed options; and set SW1/Position 8 to OFF for  IDNet addressable control (see paragraph “Addressable 4009 IDNet IDNet Control”). Set the IDNet address on SW2 using Figure 5 as a reference.

Hardwired 4009 IDNet Control
There are two hardwired NAC control inputs to the 4009 IDNet (when used as an IDNet device on a 4010 these inputs are not used). The hardwired NAC control inputs provide backward compatibility with other Simplex panels. In the hardwired mode, the 4009 IDNet is non-addressable and controlled via two DIP switches (Hardware configuration Switch SW1 and Software Address/Configuration Switch SW2). Each input simulates a typical hardwired notification appliance, as seen from the host panel. When a fault occurs on the 4009 Addressable NAC system or on any of the outputs controlled by Input 1, the panel causes an open condition on the host NAC that is connected to Input 1.
Any faults on the outputs controlled by Input 2 are reflected on the host panel’s NAC in the same fashion. A power loss condition at the 4009 IDNet causes Input 1 to indicate a fault (open) condition.
Inputs 1 and 2 can be configured either as EOL devices on the host NAC or as appliances on that NAC, based on whether an end-of-line load is presented to the host. Up to four 4009 IDNet NAC Extenders can be attached to the FACP(s) NAC.

Addressable 4009 IDNet (IDNet Control)

The 4009 IDNet is addressable when configured as an IDNet peripheral; this mode is also configured via DIP switches SW1 and SW2. In the IDNet mode, SW2 (see Figure 5)  sets the address of the NACs connected to the 4009 IDNet which are controlled and configured by the 4010 FACP. The 4009 IDNet monitors each output NAC. If trouble occurs, faults (including NAC supervision, power, battery integrity, and earth) are communicated to the host panel 4010 FACP as IDNet messages.

Hardware Components

NAC (Notification Appliance Circuit) Outputs
The 4009 IDNet system board provides 4 hardwired NACs. NACs 1 through 4 is Class B, reverse polarity Notification Appliance Circuits. Each circuit has one polarity for the supervision state and the opposite polarity for the alarm state. Field wiring terminations are provided for 12 AWG – 18 AWG wire. Refer to the 842-068 Field Wiring Diagram for complete wiring, compatible appliances, current, and line distance information. Each circuit is capable of being independently controlled by the 4009 IDNet, as commanded by the host panel.

The notification circuits use a 10k end-of-line resistor for supervision. The circuit is monitored for short and open circuit line faults when in the standby (not energized)  condition. In the event of a short circuit, the 4009 IDNet will not activate the NAC while the short circuit fault is present. During coded signal operation, the 4009 IDNet checks for a short during each “off”, and holds the circuit off if a short is detected. Short and open circuit faults are reported to the host panel via the command channel (either IDNet or hardwired, depending on configuration) and can be identified by blinking trouble LED on the 4009 IDNet during supervisory state.

The NACs are configurable as “Class A” circuits with the addition of an option card that plugs onto the baseboard. The option card also provides the additional field wiring terminations needed for Class A. The 4009 IDNet monitors for insertion of the Class A Option Card. The presence of the Class A Adapter Option Card must match the  Hardware Configuration Switch (SW1) for proper operation (see Table 1).
In addition, when configured as an IDNet peripheral, each NAC has the ability, under software control, to disconnect its supervision, allowing earth fault isolation (this operation is also performed automatically as part of the power-up sequence).

Battery Charger
The battery charger charges lead-acid batteries up to 18AH. Batteries are supervised for low/missing batteries and depleted batteries. The battery charger output remains disabled until a battery is sensed.
Battery Cutout Module (Canadian Version only)
The Canadian version of the 4009 IDNet NAC Extender includes a low battery cutout module and harness. The factory-installed battery cutout module replaces the standard  (US version) battery harness. The module disconnects the batteries if the terminal voltage drops below 19.3VDC during battery standby operation. Connection to the batteries is restored on resumption of AC power.

System Configuration

A functional block diagram depicting the interconnections between modules is shown in Figure 3. Alarm signal and 0V connections provide alarm and trouble operation. The host FACP can detect EARTH faults on any NAC signal.

Notes:

1. This option card position is for the IDNet Repeater Option Card or the Fiber Receiver Option Card.
2.  The Fiber Transmitter Option Card is a remote connection and not part of the 4009 cabinet assembly.

System Switches and Indicators

Hardware Configuration DIP Switch SW1
The 8-position Hardware Configuration DIP Switch (SW1) is used to configure what hardware is present and supervised by the 4009 IDNet. For proper 4009 IDNet operations,  SW1 must correspond with the hardware installed. The hardware configuration switch is located at the top edge of the system board (see Figure 4). The “ON”  position of the switch indicates that the associated hardware (see Table 1) is configured to the 4009 IDNet. A trouble condition is reported to the FACP if the hardware is configured, but not present or hardware is present but not configured. Dip Switch SW1/Position 8 controls how the 4009 IDNet receives its commands. When SW1/Position 8  is “ON”, the 4009 IDNet receives commands from the control inputs. When SW1/Position 8 is “OFF”, the 4009 IDNet receives commands from the IDNet channel.

Figure 4. 4009 IDNet System Board

Software Address/Configuration DIP Switch SW2
The Software Address/Configuration Switch (SW2) is an 8-position DIP switch.
The Software Configuration/Address Switch is located at the top edge of the system board. When the 4009 IDNet is operating as an addressable IDNet peripheral, this switch sets the IDNet address to which the 4009 IDNet responds. Each 4009 IDNet has a unique address (1 through 250). The address of the 4009 IDNet is set via the eight-position dip switch SW2, DIP switch position 1 is the least significant bit (LSB) and position 8 is the most significant bit (MSB). Set the 4009 IDNet address using Figure 5 as reference. Use a small screwdriver or pen to set the switches.

Note: The DIP switch in the “1” position is “ON” while the DIP switch in the “0” position is“OFF”.

Figure 5. 4009 IDNet (IDNet Addressable Mode) Address Chart
When operating as a 4009 non-addressable NAC Extender (conventional 4009 modes), this switch (SW2) configures the operation of the output NACs, based on the state of the two NAC control inputs. Refer to Tables 2 and 3 for switch settings for NAC control operation.

Table 3. Control Mapping Switch Settings

NAC Status Indicators (LED(s) 1-4)
Each output NAC has a yellow LED (see Figure 4 for the location of LEDs) to indicate a trouble condition or the active state of that NAC. The condition/state for the NACs are as follows:

• IN ALARM = NAC (1-4) LED “ON”
• IN SUPERVISORY = LED “OFF” (OK)
• SLOW FLASH (1 flash per second) = SHORT
• FAST FLASH (2 flashes per second) = OPEN

System Trouble Indicators (LED(s) 5-8)
The system trouble indicators consist of a bank of four yellow LEDs (see Figure 4 for the location of LEDs) that are used to signify various trouble conditions within the 4009  IDNet system. Only one trouble at a time is indicated, the highest trouble state is indicated first. When that trouble clears, additional troubles, if present, will be indicated. Table 4 lists system troubles from the highest trouble state (invalid configuration) to the lowest trouble state (Normal).

Table 4. System Trouble Indicators

AC Power Indicator (LED 9)
This green LED indicates that AC power is present and is being used as the 4009 IDNet power source. The 4009 IDNet is switched to batteries whenever the green LED is “OFF”.
CAUTION: The green AC LED indicates “Good AC Power”. In the event of a brownout condition, the unit will switch to battery power but lethal voltages may still exist.
DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING.

4009 IDNet Option Interfaces

The 4009 IDNet supports several optional add-on cards. Connectors are provided on the base assembly of the 4009 IDNet System Board (565-771) to support the available option cards. Optional hardware must be configured with the Hardware Configuration DIP Switch SW1 for proper system operation.

Class A Adapter Option Card (565-789)
The Class A Adapter Option Cards (see Figure 4) plug into connectors P1 and P2 located on the 4009 IDNet system Board (see Figure 4). One Class A Adapter Option Card  provides Class A/Style Z functionality on two NACs. Refer to the 4009-9808 Class A Adapter Option Card Installation Instructions (574-326) for detailed information on installing this option card.

NAC Option Card (565-828)
The 4-circuit NAC Card is an option card for the 4009 IDNet. Refer to the 4009 9807 NAC Option Card Installation Instructions (574-325) for detailed information on installing this option card. The NAC option card provides four additional hardwired NACs to the 4009 IDNet base configuration of four NACs. Each of the four NACs on the  NAC option card is functionally equivalent to the NACs on the 4009 system board, except that the option NACs are rated at 1.5 amps. The NAC option card plugs into connector P4 (see Figure 4) on the 4009 system board. The NACs are configurable as “Class A” circuits with the addition of Class A Adapter Option Cards that connect to the two Class A adapter connector interfaces located on the NAC Option Card. The NAC Option Card signal power for the four NACs is received from 4009 IDNet system board connector P7 (see Figure 4) using wiring harness 733-972.

IDNet Repeater Option Card (565-773)
The IDNet Repeater Card is an option card for the 4009 IDNet. The IDNet Repeater Option Card takes the IDNet signal that the 4009 IDNet receivers have received, and retransmits it on its output side at host panel IDNet levels. The IDNet Repeater Option Card is used in IDNet mode only (SW1/Position 8 OFF). Refer to the 4009 IDNet  Repeater Option Card Installation Instructions (574327) for detailed information on installing this option card. The IDNet Repeater Option Card connects via a 14-pin header to 4009 IDNet system board connector P6 (see Figure 4).

4009 IDNet Option Interfaces, continued

Fiber Receiver Card (565-903 Class B or 565-902 Class A) and Fiber Transmitter Card (565-901 Class B or 565-900 Class A)
The IDNet Fiber Transmitter and 4009 IDNet Fiber Receiver work together to form a fiber optic link from an IDNet run to a remote 4009 Addressable NAC. Refer to the  4009 Fiber Optic Link Installation Instructions (574-182) for detailed information on installing this option card. The primary intent of the fiber optic link is to allow remote buildings (within 3,000ft.) to be connected to the IDNet channel, but to minimize susceptibility to electrical transients. The fiber optic link is made up of these two boards and the optical fibers. The 4009 IDNet Fiber Receiver Card receives power from and communicates with the 4009 IDNet through a 14-pin connector P6 (on the 4009 IDNet system board). The fiber receiver regenerates the IDNet channel for connection to other IDNet peripherals at the remote site.
The IDNet Fiber Transmitter is located on the FACP end of the fiber optic link and receives power (24VDC) from the host panel.
