Simplex 4098-9714 TrueAlarm Photoelectric Smoke Heat Sensor

Simplex 4098-9714 TrueAlarm Photoelectric Smoke and Heat Sensor, White

The Simplex 4098-9714 TrueAlarm is an intelligent addressable photoelectric smoke and heat sensor designed to provide dependable fire detection for compatible Simplex TrueAlarm fire alarm systems.

Combining photoelectric smoke sensing with thermal detection, the 4098-9714 provides the fire alarm control unit with information that can be evaluated to identify developing fire conditions. Its intelligent addressable design also allows each sensor to be individually identified and monitored by the system.

The photoelectric sensing chamber uses a stable pulsed LED light source and silicon photodiode receiver to detect smoke particles entering the chamber. This technology provides effective detection of smoke associated with developing and smoldering fires.

Designed for indoor applications, the 4098-9714 features a white, low-profile housing with a NEMA 1 rating, making it suitable for a wide variety of commercial, institutional, and industrial environments.

Photoelectric Smoke Detection

The 4098-9714 uses a pulsed LED light source and silicon photodiode receiver to monitor smoke entering the sensing chamber.

Photoelectric technology is particularly effective at detecting visible smoke particles commonly associated with slow-developing or smoldering fires, providing early warning before conditions become more severe.

Integrated Heat Detection

In addition to photoelectric smoke sensing, the 4098-9714 incorporates thermal detection capability.

Combining smoke and temperature information provides the compatible Simplex fire alarm system with additional data for evaluating changing conditions at the detector location.

Programmable Sensitivity

The 4098-9714 supports a standard smoke sensitivity range of 1.25% to 3.1% obscuration per foot.

For special applications, additional selectable sensitivity settings include:

• 0.2% per foot

• 0.5% per foot

• 1.0% per foot

This flexibility allows the detector sensitivity to be configured according to the requirements of the protected environment and applicable system programming.

Intelligent TrueAlarm Monitoring

When connected to compatible Simplex TrueAlarm control equipment, sensor information is continuously evaluated by the fire alarm system.

Adaptive processing can account for gradual environmental changes that might otherwise affect detector sensitivity. This helps maintain consistent detection performance while reducing the potential for nuisance alarms associated with changing environmental conditions.

Applications

The Simplex 4098-9714 is ideal for:

• Commercial buildings

• Office buildings

• Hospitals and healthcare facilities

• Schools and universities

• Hotels

• Warehouses

• Manufacturing facilities

• Industrial buildings

• Government facilities

• High-rise buildings

• Intelligent addressable fire alarm systems

• New installations and system upgrades
