Fire Alarm System Limitations While a fire alarm system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance! An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with remote notification capability–can provide early warning of a developing fire. Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life resulting from a fire.
Installation Precautions Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability: WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or interconnecting cables while the unit is energized.

1 Section One: Simplex 4010 NION Hardware 1.1: General Description The Simplex 4010 NION interfaces to a Simplex 4010 FACP to provide monitoring of the Simplex 4010 to a UniNet™ 2000 network. The NION is based on the NION-NPB motherboard hardware and communicates with the FACP via a 4-wire EIA-232 connection. The NION to Simplex 4010 panel EIA-232 connection is handled by a Simplex 4010-9811 dual EIA-232 card. This card must be installed in the Simplex 4010 FACP for connection with a Simplex 4010 NION.

TB1 - Standard terminal block style port for EIA-232 connection to serial channel A. Echelon Network Transceiver Connector(J1) - Pin connection header for SMX Transceiver. Reset Pin (SW1) - Resets the NION and restarts the software.
1.4: SMX Network Transceivers Connection of the network wiring to the NION is made via an SMX transceiver. The network SMX transceiver daughter board is a component of every NION. This transceiver provides the network medium interface for NION network communication. There are four styles of SMX transceivers: FTXC for FT-10 (Free Topology) wire bus and star, S7FTXC for style seven wiring requirements, FOXC for FT-10 fiber point-to-point and DFXC for bi-directional fiber.
S7FTXC-PCA (Style-7) Network Transceiver The S7FTXC-PCA combines two FT-10 interface ports that allow the transceiver to meet Style-7 wiring requirements. The two ports on the S7FTXC-PCA, when used with true style-7 wiring requirements, create a point-to-point type network segment allowing up to 8,000 feet between nodes that use the S7FTXC-PCA. The separate FT ports allow two twisted pair connections so that a cabling fault on one segment will not affect the other.
FOXC-PCA and DFXC-PCA Fiber Optic Network Transceivers The FOXC-PCA allows up to 8db of attenuation per segment in a point to point configuration only. The DFXC-PCA can operate in either a bus or a ring format. The regenerative properties of the DFXC transceiver allow runs of up to 12db of attenuation between each node, with up to 64 nodes per segment. NOTE: See Section 1.1.3 of the Network Installation manual for fiber optic cabling requirements for these transceivers.
2 Section Two: Simplex 4010 NION Installation and Configuration 2.1: Simplex 4010 NION Connection The Simplex 4010 NION provides monitoring of the Simplex 4010 FACP. This requires the use of a Simplex 4010-9811 dual EIA-232 card installed in the Simplex 4010 panel. The 4010-9811 dual EIA-232 card provides the NION the communication connection to the Simplex 4010 panel via serial port B (P6) of the 4010-9811. See figure 2-2 for wiring connections.
Serial Connections The Simplex 4010 NION requires that a Simplex model 4010-9811 dual EIA-232 card be installed in the Simplex 4010 FACP. The NION communicates to the 4010 FACP through serial port P6 onboard the 4010-9811 card. Figure 2-2 diagrams the wiring between TB1 of the NION and P6 (Serial Port B) of the 4010-9811.

Power Requirements and Connection The Simplex 4010 NION requires 24VDC @ 250mA nominal in accordance with local code requirements. It can be powered by any power limited, regulated source that is UL listed for use with fire protective signaling units.

Power limited wire runs use type FPLR, FPLP, FPL or equivalent cabling per NEC 760. Figure 2-5: Installing the NION in a NISCAB-1 2.
3 Section Three: Simplex 4010 NION Explorer 3.1 Simplex Explorer Overview The Simplex 4010 NION Explorer is a plug-in application that provides the ability to view panel information and NION configurations from a UniNet™ 2000 workstation. The Simplex Explorer operates much like Windows Explorer. It displays NION and Panel information in expandable menus the same way Windows Explorer displays the file system in expandable file folders. 3.2 Simplex 4010 Explorer Operation 3.2.
The Simplex 4010 Explorer Main Screen consists of the following: Update button - Saves configuration changes made with Simplex Explorer to the NION. Undo button - Cancels any configuration changes made in the plug-in. Exit button - Closes the Simplex Explorer. Arrange button - Toggles the Simplex 4010 Explorer window to be always on top or moved to the background when an event occurs. Panels tree - Displays the Simplex 4010 NION on the system and the associated Simplex 4010 panel in expandable\collapsible m
NION-Simplex 4010 Configuration Menu Learn PPanel anel Devices - This selection allows the NION to learn, or self program, all the devices associated with the Simplex 4010 panel it is connected to. This selection will start a panel learn session and the data display area will show a progress bar and the number of device types the NION has detected on the panel. When the panel learn session is complete, a message will appear. Click OK and click the Close button.
NOTE: While in Data Capture Mode, no events will be sent to the UniNet™ Workstation. NOTE: The NION requestes the Revision (REV) from the panel every 15 seconds. This is used to monitor the connection and is normal. Figure 3-5: Data Capture Mode Upload NION Configuration - This option creates a file on the hard drive containing all the information stored at the NION. This is useful to have for trouble shooting, general NION maintenance or for a backup. This file is named simplex4010_node_XXX.
