Programmer Overview
Introduction The Simplex Programmer application provides a graphical interface for

programming the 4010 FACP. This application contains the following major
components.
• A set of Tabs corresponding to the major programmable components of the

4010 system. Clicking on a tab gains access to a window that allows you to
program a specific set of system attributes. Figure 1-1 shows the location
of the tabs. Refer to “Tabs” later in this section for specific information.
• Icons that allow you to quickly perform routine tasks such as printing,
saving a job, etc. Refer to Figure 1-2 for a quick reference on each icon’s
function.
• Menus containing groups of similar choices. All menu choices have a

counterpart on the Icon Bar.
Icons provide quick

access to common Menus group similar

Programmer Overview, Continued
Tabs Each tab contains a group of related programming functions, as follows:
Overview
• The Panel Tab allows you to do the following:
- Edit general information such as network, panel, branch, and listing

information
- Select and program system options, such as Alarm Silence Inhibit,
Alarm Cutout Timer, etc.
- Define passcodes for access levels one through four
- Set access levels for various system functions (Fire Alarm
Acknowledge, etc.)
• The Card Tab allows you to do the following:
- Add and delete cards

- Program user-defined LEDs and function keys
- Edit each point’s hardware device type, point type, and custom label on
a per-card basis
• The Site Tab provides a means of creating a two-dimensional

representation of a job site. This involves creating and adding labels that
represent the building components -- floors, offices, hallways, etc. -- to the
site tree, and associating points with the correct label. (For example, if the
site tree contains a label named LOBBY, you would associate the points
located in the Lobby area with the LOBBY label.)
• Use the Point Tab to do the following:
- List points
- Edit each point’s hardware device type, point type, or custom label
- AutoFill a point’s custom label field
- Search for a point, based on its name, device type, point type, or label
- Spell check custom labels
• The List Tab allows you to create and edit system lists.
• Custom Control Tab provides a graphical interface for creating Custom

Control equations. A significant advantage of this interface is the ability to
display all of an equation’s operators and points.

4010 FACP Version 2.x Feature Enhancements
Summary of Features Table 1-1 summarizes the Version 2.x feature enhancements. Refer to the next
section of this manual for a list of the hardware and software components
required to support these features.
Table 1-1. Version 2.x Feature Enhancements
Feature Description
Version 2.x provides the ability to connect the 4009 IDNet NAC Extender
to the 4010. Key features of the new 4009 include:
• Standard unit provides four Class B NACs (rated 2A @ 24 VDC),
power supply (8A) and charger.
• IDNet Communication and Control. Provides status monitoring and
individual NAC control using a single IDNet address.
• Option cards include:
Support for 4009 IDNet
NAC Extender - Class A Adapter
- Four-circuit NAC card provides four additional NACs, rated 1.5A
@ 24 VDC
- IDNet Repeater permits additional 2500’ cable run for IDNet
applications
- IDNet Fiber Optic receiver card accepts IDNet transmission from

TrueAlarm utility temperature sensing  achieved by assigning the
TrueAlarm Utility UTILITY point type to a TrueAlarm heat sensor point  allows you to
Temperature Sensing create Custom Control equations that monitor the heat sensor and trigger
output(s) when a threshold temperature is reached.
The addition of Day/Night programming to Custom Control allows devices
to be controlled differently at different times of the day. A common
Day/Night Programming application for this type of programming is to decrease the sensitivity of a
TrueAlarm Photo sensor during the day and increase its sensitivity at
night.
60 Equation Custom The number of Custom Control equations allowed by the 4010 has been
Control Capacity increased from 40 to 60.
A discrete Battery Charger Trouble was added to Version 2.x, providing

4010 FACP Version 2.x Feature Enhancements, Continued
Summary of Features
Overview
(continued) Table 1-1. Version 2.x Feature Enhancements
Feature Description
Version 2.x adds the ability to reset a City Circuit in the following situation:
Support for AHJ Alarm • If the device(s) in alarm is physically removed.
City Circuit • No other devices are in an alarm state.
Programming • System Reset is performed.
Enabling City Circuit reset is done via Custom Control.
Version 2.x includes support for TrueAlert Non-Addressable NAC devices.
With these devices, horn control occurs over the same two wires that
power and fire the strobe appliances, allowing horns and strobes to exist
on the same NAC and still be controlled separately (i.e., horns on until
silenced while strobes remain on until reset). Important points to
remember about TrueAlert Non-Addressable NAC devices include:
• Hardware Device Type. TrueAlert Non-Addressable NACs use a
hardware device type of either SIGA (Class A NAC) or SIGB (Class B
NAC).
• Software Device Types. Two separate software point types support
two distinct modes of operation:
- QALERT device type has no automatic operation. All operations
for this type of device type must be programmed with Custom
Control.
- SQALERT device type automatically turns on the designated
circuit on alarm detect (general alarm), issues the horn silence
command upon Alarm Silence, and turns off the circuit at the
completion of System Reset. Any point programmed with the
TrueAlert Non- SQALERT point type is not available for use in Custom Control
Addressable Devices programming.
• Quick CFIG. TrueAlert Non-Addressable functionality is not
supported by the front panel Quick CFIG option. You must manually
program TrueAlert hardware and software device types, using either
the front panel interface or the PC Programmer.
• Horn Operation. Operation of TrueAlert Non-Addressable Horns is
through the new “TrueAlert Horn Operation” system option. Possible
selections for this option are STEADY, TEMPORAL, and SLOW
MARCH.
• Alarm Operation. In an alarm condition, any NAC programmed with
the SQALERT device type automatically activates. Horns operate as
defined by the “TrueAlert Horn Operation” system option, and strobes
activate. Pressing Alarm Silence turns off the horns, leaving the
strobes active. System reset automatically turns TrueAlert NACs off.
• SMPL Programming. The QALERT point type provides Custom
Control capability for TrueAlert Non-Addressable devices. Existing
opcodes – such as ON, OFF, S MARCH, F MARCH, and TEMPORAL
– provide standard functionality, and a new opcode – HORN OFF –
provides specific control of TrueAlert Non-Addressable horns.

4010 Upgrade Compatibility
Introduction Table 1-2 lists the 4010 FACP’s features and indicates whether a specific
hardware or software component is required to support a specific feature or set
of features.
Keep the following in mind when reviewing this table:
• 4010 Phase 1 features are compatible with any mix of SFIO card, SFIO
firmware, BIN file, and programmer software (BIN and programmer
software must be same revision level).
• The REV. C SFIO board provides improved overload protection for the U9
voltage regulator.
• TrueAlert Non-Addressable functionality for the 4010 SFIO’s NACs

requires the REV. C SFIO board, Version 2 SFIO firmware, and a Version
2 of the BIN file and programmer application.
• Discrete battery trouble reporting requires the REV. C SFIO board, Version
2 SFIO firmware, and a Version 2 of the BIN file and programmer
application.
• 4009 IDNet NACs require either the REV. B or REV. C SFIO board,
Version 2 SFIO firmware, and Version 2 of the BIN file and programmer
application.
• All other 4010 Version 2 features are supported by either version of the
SFIO card and SFIO firmware, but you must have Version 2 of the BIN file
and programmer application.

more efficient to run 4010 Quick CFIG from the front panel and then upload the
CFIG from the 4010 to the PC Programmer, where any changes to the point
types, custom labels, and system options can be made.
Using Quick CFIG on a new panel configures the panel for general alarm
operation as follows:
• All initiating devices found by Quick CFIG are assigned a FIRE point type.
• SIG1 and SIG2 are set to point type SSIGNAL. SIG3 and SIG4 are set to
RSIGNAL.
• AUX1 is set to point type RRELAY. AUX2 is set to TRELAY.
• Remote annunciators are detected at their set address.
Hardware that is not automatically configured includes:
• Graphic annunciators
• Suppression points
• Network card
• SDACT or CCDACT card
Quick CFIG Reconfigure All The Quick CFIG Reconfigure All Hardware option, described in this section,
Hardware Option creates a new 4010 configuration.
Note1: If a configuration exists and this option is selected, it clears the current
configuration and adds all currently connected devices to the CFIG.

Creating a New Job
Introduction This section describes creating a new job with the PC programmer. Doing this
creates a job with limited definitions for the devices (i.e., no custom labels and
default device type or point types assigned to IDNet points). This is useful for
off-site configuration of a system.
After creating a job in this manner, refer to the subsequent chapters in this book
for information on adding option cards to the job, defining system options,
defining device and point types, and adding custom control equations.
Skip this section if you used Quick CFIG to create a new job and uploaded it to
the laptop.
Note: Each branch is responsible for assigning and archiving jobs. The
exception to this is a network job, in which case the network job
number must be assigned by Simplex Applications Engineering.
Step 1. Invoke New System 1. Start the programmer, as described in the previous section.

Creating a New Job, Continued
Step 2. Specify Job Number Enter a name for the job in the Job Number field. It is recommended that you
use a seven-character number with the following format:
BBYMTJJ
BB = Branch Number (1296 possible numbers using the Base 36 numbering

system.) See Appendix B for a Base 36 conversion table.
Y = Year (0 = 1997; 1 = 1998;. . . A = 2007)
M = Month (1 = Jan; 2 = Feb; . . . C = Dec)
T = Panel Type (D = 4010)
JJ = Job number (1296 jobs per branch per month possible using the Base 36
numbering system.) See Appendix B for a Base 36 conversion table.
Example: Job 3004D01 translates to the following:

• Branch Number: 108 (becomes 30 using the Base 36 numbering
system)
• Year: 1997 (becomes 0)
• Month: April (becomes 4)
• Panel Type: 4010 (becomes D)
• Job Number: 01 (still 01 using the Base 36 numbering system)
Note: See Appendix B for the Base 10 to Base 36 Conversion Table.
If you enter a Job Name that does not conform to this convention, a warning
message box is presented reminding you of the Job Name format. However, a
non-conforming Job Name will be allowed as long as it follows the DOS file-
naming conventions and only contains characters that are part of the 4010
character set. All alpha characters entered will be automatically converted to
upper-case.
When you create a new job file, the Programmer places the letter “A” at the end
of your seven-character job name. Each time you open this job and make a
revision, the revision letter is also upgraded.
Step 3. Specify System Type Examine the entry for the System Type drop down list box. The selection must
read “4010.” Click on this list box and change the currently selected system
type to “4010” if necessary.
Step 4. Specify Standalone or The System Options panel, located at the bottom of Figure 4-2, allows you to
Network System specify whether the 4010 system is operating as a standalone or networked
system. This panel contains the following three choices:
• Standalone System specifies that the 4010 is not connected via a 4120
network to other panels.
• New Network specifies that the 4010 is physically connected to other

panels, but no network job exists in the 4010’s \NETJOBS folder. In this
case, you must specify a network job number in the Job Number field of
Figure 4-2. Make sure to specify only a job number supplied by Simplex
Applications Engineering.
• Existing Network specifies that the 4010 is connected to other panels, and
the job has been previously programmed.

Opening an Existing Job Stored on the PC
Introduction By default, previously programmed jobs are stored in either the \4010JOBS or
the \NETJOBS directory. If the job for the panel that you are currently
programming is stored on the PC, use the following procedure to open it for
additional editing.
You should only do this if you are sure that the job on the PC is exactly the same
as the programming (CFIG) currently in use on the panel. For example, if you
have made changes to the panel’s programming from the 4010 front panel, it
may be more desirable to upload the CFIG from the panel to the laptop PC
before performing additional programming. See the next section for details.
Procedure 1. Click on the File menu.
2. Select Open.
A window similar to the following appears.

the high-level status screen but in the Historical Logs.
Enable either 12- or 24-hour format by selecting the appropriate check box, as
shown below: Refer to Figure 5-2 for the location of this option.
5-3
Enabling System Options, Continued
Depleted Battery This option selects the mode of operation for the 4010 FACP if an alarm occurs
during an AC power loss while a Depleted Battery trouble exists. The specific
operation of this option differs slightly, depending on whether you have a
domestic or Canadian system.
Domestic Operation. The default setting for the option is OFF and the depleted
battery threshold voltage is 19.4 VDC ± 5%. Operation of this option for a
domestic system is as follows:
• If the system is in alarm and a depleted battery condition occurs, any NACs
that are active remain active.
• If the system in not in alarm and a depleted battery condition occurs, the
NACs are prevented from activating.
Canadian Operation. The default setting for the option is OFF and the depleted
battery threshold voltage is 19.4 VDC ± 5%. Operation of this option for a
Canadian system is as follows:
• When a depleted battery condition occurs, power is turned off to the 4010.
AC power must be restored to re-activate the 4010.
Enable this option by selecting the check box shown below. Refer to Figure 5-2
for the location of this option.
Alarm Silence/Inhibit You can inhibit the Alarm Silence/System Reset on a 4010 FACP for a set
duration. The range for the Silence/Reset Inhibit timer is 0-60 minutes with zero
(No Inhibit) being the default setting.
Enable this option by selecting the following check box, as shown below. Refer
to Figure 5-2 for the location of this option.
Alarm Cutout Timer The Alarm Signal Cutout timer allows you to set a duration for how long
signals sound after an alarm. In other words, when an alarm condition exists,
the signals sound until silenced. With this option set at two minutes, building
signals sound on alarm for two minutes and then stop sounding. However, the
alarm condition remains active in the panel. The default setting for this options
is No Cutout (meaning an Alarm Silence is required to shut off signals).
5-4

Door Drop on Alarm The Door Drop on Alarm timer allows the 4010 to hold doors open for a set
duration during an alarm condition. After that duration has expired, the 4010
shuts off the door holder relays and the doors close. The range for the timer is
0-60 seconds with a default setting of zero seconds. To have door holders drop
the doors immediately, leave the timer set to zero seconds.
Note: To make a relay a door holder relay, you must assign it the DHOLDER
point type.
Door Drop on AC Fail The Door Holder - AC Fail Door Drop Timer allows the 4010 to hold doors
open for a set duration during an AC power loss condition. After that duration
has expired, the 4010 shuts off the door holder devices and the doors close. The
range for the timer is 0-60 minutes, with a default setting of 5 minutes. To have
door holders drop the doors immediately upon AC power loss, set the timer to
zero minutes.
Air Handling Units (AHU) This option allows you to set the 4010 to stagger start any Air Handling Units
Stagger Start (point types AHUR, AHUO, and AHUF) in the 4010 FACP . This option
protects against power spikes that may cause the circuit breakers to trip when
AHUs start simultaneously. The range for stagger starting the AHUs is 0-60
seconds. The default setting for this option is 30 seconds. A setting of zero
allows all AHUs to start immediately.
The 4010 FACP displays an AHU Stagger Start message when the sequence
starts and an AHU Stagger Start Complete message when the sequence ends.
5-5
Suppression Release The Suppression Release option contains three selections:
• Dual Detector. When enabled, this option requires two points in L9

(Automatic Suppression Release Points List) to activate before the outputs
specified in L12 (Suppression Release Output Points List) activate.
• Detector Delay. When enabled, this option allows you to specify a delay
between the time that a detector activates and the time that a point within
the L9 list triggers. The range is from 0 to 60 seconds (60 is the default).
• Manual Delay. When enabled, this option allows you to specify a delay,
ranging from 0 to 30 seconds, between the time that a manual release point
is activated and the time that the suppression release points in L10 trigger.
- L9 Automatic Suppression Release Points

- L10 Suppression Manual Release Points
- L11 Suppression Release Abort Points
- L12 Suppression Release Output Points
For example: any points in L9 have a default delay of 60 seconds before L12
activates, any points in L10 have a default delay of 30 seconds before L12
activates. Once points in L10 are activated, L12 activates after the default 30-
second delay regardless of the state of abort switches in L11. When Dual
Detector operation is ON, this requires two points in L9 to activate before
suppression release operation is initiated.
WARNING: When any points in L11 are activated during the

cycling of a delay function, the delay timers continue
to count down to zero. If you release the abort
switch that is in L11 after the timer has reached zero,
points in L12 activate immediately.
Note 1. Do not use the PC Programmer to change the point type of a

suppression release point; doing this causes the PC Programmer to change the
point type back to its default setting. To change the point type of a suppression
release point, you must use the front panel programmer.
Note 2. Set the Depleted Battery Cut Out Timer system option to ON for
suppression release systems. Refer to “Depleted Battery” earlier in this section
for information.
5-6

Active Status Reminder The Active Status Reminder option allows you to set an interval and duration
during which the 4010 reminds operators that a FIRE, SUPV, or TBL condition
still exists in the panel.
Active Status Reminder consists of two parts. Refer to Figure 5-2 for the
location of these options.
• Reminder Interval. Enable the Reminder Interval by selecting the check

box shown below. Use the control on the right to set the interval. The
range can be from 1 to 12 hours, and the default is 8 hours.
• Acknowledge Option. This option sets the duration of the acknowledge

signal. The range can be from 1 to 12 hours, and the default is 5 seconds.
For troubles, a setting of 0 sounds a continuous signal until acknowledged
from the front panel. For alarms, a setting of 0 sounds a continuous signal
until the alarm condition is cleared.
Signal Operation Audible and Visible ON ‘til Silence Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) can
be set to the choices shown in Table 5-1. The default setting for the Audible
NACs is Temporal; the default setting for the Visible NACs is Synchronous; and
the default setting for TrueAlert Non-Addressable Horns is TEMPORAL.

Programming a 4120 Network Card
Introduction This section describes programming a 4120 network card -- either an RS485
card (also known as a “Wired Media” card) or a modular card with either RS485
or Fiber.
Be aware of the following before beginning:
• You cannot create a network of only 4010 panels. You must connect the
4010 to a network containing either a 4100, GCC, or NPU.
• Use the PC Programmer’s Network Tab to create public points.
Programming Cards
Step 1. Define Network Job If you are adding a network card to a non-networked job (i.e., you selected
Attributes (If Necessary) Standalone Panel when you originally created the job), the programmer presents
the following screen, which allows you to specify the network job number,
description, and network file. Once a standalone job is changed to a network
job, you can no longer upload the job to the laptop. Make sure you backup the
job before proceeding.
Figure 6-19. New Network Job Dialog
1. Select the appropriate radio button – New Network or Existing Network –

as required.
2. If the network job is new, you must specify the Network File number and
Network Description for the job. Refer to Simplex Applications
engineering for information on specifying a network file number.

Description, shown at the bottom of Figure 6-20.
6-30
Programming a 4120 Network Card, Continued
Step 3. Set Node / Loop Choose the appropriate selections for Node Number, Loop Number, and Comm
Number and Comm Style Style, as follows:
Node Number. The Node Number is a unique number used to identify the 4010
panel on the 4120 network. The range for this number is between 1 and 99. If
necessary, first use the Simplex Network Programmer or the network
diagnostics to view the other nodes on the network. Review the node numbers
already in use and select a unique number for this node.
Loop Number. A 4120 network can support up to 4 separate loops, with no

physical bridging or routing of information between loops. Make sure that the
loop number you choose is the same as all other nodes on the loop.
Programming Cards
Comm Style. Style 4 networks represent a single line or star topology. With
these types of networks a single short, ground fault, or open circuit on the
network communications channel reports a trouble and all nodes beyond the
fault operate in local (standalone) mode.
Style 7 networks represent a closed loop ring. With these types of networks, any
single open, short, or ground fault on the network communications channel will
not interrupt communications between nodes on the network.
Step 4. Select Port Media Modular versions of the 4120 card allow the use of either Wired Media (RS485)
(Modular Card Only) or fiber for the card’s left and right ports.
1. Click the drop down list box underneath Left Port and select the choice that
represents the type of module used on the card’s left port.
2. Click the drop down list box underneath Right Port and select the choice
that represents the type of module used on the card’s right port.

Programming a Point’s Software Point Type
Introduction A point type determines the following:
• The message displayed on the 4010’s LCD when changes occur to the state
of the point’s circuit.
• The way in which the system operates (for example, initiate an Alarm,
Trouble, or Supervisory action) when changes occur to the state of the
point’s circuit.
Example. Compare the FIRE Point type with the SO (normally open sprinkler
monitor) point type. When the circuit state of a point programmed with either type
is Normal, the system operates normally (i.e., no Alarm/Trouble/Supervisory
messages and no system action occurs).
Notice, however, that the operation of the system is different if a Current Limited
condition occurs. When a current limited condition occurs for a device associated
with the FIRE point type, the system displays “Fire Monitor Zone” on the LCD,
illuminates the FIRE LED, and triggers any automatic and custom Alarm response
(i.e., activate NACs, etc.). Contrast this with what happens when a current limited
condition occurs for a device associated with the SO point type. In this case, an
abnormal physical state exists. To have actions occur as a result of the sprinkler
monitor’s change in state, you would need to write a Custom Control equation that
monitors the point for this circuit state and then executes specific output actions if
an abnormal physical state occurs.
Circuit LCD Text System Operation

Status
Normal Normal
FIRE Limited Fire Monitor Zone Fire Alarm
Open Fire Monitor Zone Open Trouble
Short Fire Monitor Zone Fire Alarm
Normal Normal
SO Limited Sprinkler Monitor Abnormal
Open Sprinkler Monitor Open Trouble
Short Sprinkler Monitor Abnormal
Procedure Follow these steps to define a point’s software point type.
Note: Do not use the PC Programmer to change the point type of a suppression
release point; doing this causes the PC Programmer to change the point type
back to its default setting. To change the point type of a suppression release
point, you must use the front panel programmer.
1. Click on the point whose point type you want to program.
2. Move to the point’s Point Type field and double click with the left mouse
button.
3. Click on the appropriate point type. Refer to Table 7-2 for a quick

Creating a Site Tree

Introduction This chapter describes creating a site tree, which is a tree-like representation of
your building and its fire alarm points.
In this Chapter The remainder of this chapter discusses the following topics:

Overview 9-2
Building a Site Tree 9-5
9-1
Overview
Introduction A site tree allows you to create labels for specific, physical areas of a building
and assign fire alarm points to these labels. When complete, a site tree
graphically depicts the layout of the site and gives an indication of every point’s
location within the site.
A site tree reads from left to right, with general divisions of the site (such as
Building A or West Wing) listed on the left side and specific areas of the site
(such as R&D lab or Boiler) listed on the right side. Points are listed on the far
right of the tree and are the smallest unit that can be added to a site tree.
Figure 9-1 shows a typical site tree.
Figure 9-1. Typical Site Tree
Terms and Concepts Important terms and concepts related to a site tree include:
• Book icons represents element of the tree that contain subordinate elements.
In Figure 9-1, for example, the 1ST FLOOR book indicates that some
number of building components (either points or smaller divisions of the
building) are contained within it. A plus (+) sign to the left of a closed book
indicates that the contents of the element are not currently displayed.
Conversely, a minus (-) sign to the left of an open book indicates that the
contents of the element are currently displayed.
• A page icon represents an element of the tree that contains no subordinate

elements. Points, which are the smallest division of a site tree, are always
represented by a page.
9-2
Overview, Continued

Terms and Concepts • The terms Level and Leaf are used when inserting components into the site
(continued) tree. These are relative terms used to indicate where an element will be
inserted in relation to the currently highlighted element. A level indicates
that the new element will be added at a level equal to the selected element,
whereas leaf indicates that the new element is subordinate to the highlighted
element. In Figure 9-1, for example, the highlight is on OFFICE 2.
Inserting a Level would add an element equal to OFFICE 2. Inserting a
Leaf would add an element that is subordinate to OFFICE 2.
The Site Tab Selecting the Site Tab displays a window similar to the one shown in Figure 9-2.
The left side of the window is the area in which the site tree is created. The
right side of the window lists the points that can be added to the site tree.

Building a Site Tree

Introduction It is helpful to identify the major components of the site before you begin to
create the site tree. At a minimum, you probably want to include entries for
each of the following in the tree.
• Each building
• Each floor within the building
• Each component (office, lab, hallway, duct, etc.) of each floor that contains
points
Step 1. Add the Buildings 1. Right click on the blank portion of the Site screen. When the list of choices
appears, select Insert Level.
An entry, containing a Page icon and the word *Level*, appears.
2. Double click on *Level* and type the building name in the text entry box.
The name must be 10 characters or less.
3. To add an additional building, right click on the entry that you just added
(the building ) and select Insert Level.
Insert Level adds an element to the tree that is equal to the currently
selected element. In this case, another entry that is equal to the building.
4. Double click on *Level* and type a building name.
Step 2. Add Floors Add floors to the building, as follows:
1. Right click on the entry that represents a building. When the list of choices
appears, click on Insert Leaf.

Overview – Components of a CC Equation
Introduction Up to 60 Custom Control equations can be programmed for the 4010. Each
equation consists of two sides: an INPUT SIDE, containing one or more Input
Statements and an OUTPUT SIDE, containing one or more Output Statements.
The total number of statements, both input and output must be 6 or less.
An equation can be better understood as an “IF/THEN” command. “IF” the

INPUT SIDE is true, “THEN” execute the OUTPUT SIDE.

Figure 10-3. Example Equation
Input Statements Input Statements can do either of the following:
• Monitor the status of a point, set of points, or list.
• Perform a function, such as Delay, Cycle, Compare two values, or

Save/Recall values.
Multiple input statements, located within the same equation, must be separated
by a logical operator (AND or OR). These operators function as follows:
• AND Operator. Use the AND Logical operator to link the current input
statement in Series with all previous input statements in an equation. In the
example below, IF the condition of M1-1 is Fire AND the condition of M1-
2 is Fire, then the INPUT SIDE is true and the Output statements (not
shown) execute. If, however, only M1-1 or M1-2 (not both) is in a Fire
state, the INPUT side is not true and the output statements do not execute.
10-4
Overview – Components of a CC Equation, Continued
Input Statements (continued) • OR Operator. The OR Logical operator links the current statement in
Parallel with all previous statements in an equation. In the example below,
IF the condition of M1-1 is Fire OR the condition of M1-2 is Fire, then the
INPUT SIDE is true. In other words, when the status of either M1-1 or M1-
2 becomes Fire, the output statements execute.
Custom Control
Output Statements Output statements are the actions that occur when the INPUT Side of an
equation is true. An output consists of an Opcode, the point associated with the
Opcode, and a priority.

Step 1. Add a New Equation to the User Program
Procedure All user-defined CC equations are stored within the User Program, which is
represented by an icon on the left side of the screen. Follow these steps to add a
new equation to the User Program.
1. Right click on the User icon. See Figure 10-4 for its location.
2. Highlight Add Equation and click the left mouse button.
An entry similar to the following appears beneath the user program.

Step 2. Add Additional Inputs and Outputs to an Equation
Introduction Each equation can have up to 6 inputs or outputs in it. Follow these steps to add
additional inputs/outputs to the equation. If the equation appears as a book with
a plus (+) sign to the left of it, click on the + sign to expand the equation.
Adding Additional Inputs 1. Highlight one of the equation’s existing input statements and click the right
mouse button.
2. Click on Add Input.
An additional input appears beneath the highlighted input statement.
Custom Control
Adding Additional Outputs 1. Highlight one of the equation’s existing output statements and click the
right mouse button.
2. Click on Add Output.
An additional output appears beneath the highlighted output statement.
10-7
Step 3. Edit Each Input Statement’s Properties
Introduction An input’s properties specify the behavior of the input (i.e. what operation or
function does the input perform). Properties also define how inputs function in
relation to other inputs. Input Properties are set through the Custom Control
Input dialog. Follow these steps to open this dialog.
1. Highlight one of the equation’s input qualifiers and click the right mouse
button. A menu of choices appears.
2. Click on Properties. A dialog similar to Figure 10-5 appears.
Figure 10-5. Custom Control Input Dialog
3. Use the AND / OR logical operators to specify whether the input is in series
(AND radio button) or parallel (OR radio button) with all other inputs. If
the Equation has only a single input, skip this step.
4. Use the NOT Operator to specify that the condition must not be true for the
output to execute. In the following example, the input side of the equation
is true if the condition of M1-1 is Fire and the condition of M1-2 is NOT
fire.
5. Click on the Opcode and Qualifier list boxes and choose an Opcode and
qualifier. Refer to Table 10-1 for a list of Opcodes and qualifiers.

When the referenced point (for example a smoke, flame,
heat detector) enters an alarm condition, the input condition
is TRUE for approximately ½ second. Any NACs triggered
on the output side of the equation sound until signal

fixed.
Supervisory For example, turning a sprinkler system OS&Y valve
changes the state of the contacts being monitored and
triggers a Supervisory condition. Although this condition
can be acknowledged, the supervisory condition cannot be
cleared until the OS&Y is restored to its original position.
When the referenced point enters a supervisory condition,
the input condition is TRUE until the supervisory condition
is acknowledged. One way this qualifier might be used
would be to sound a bell in a control room when a point (a
list containing all waterflow points for example) enters a
Supervisory Ack supervisory condition. In this case, the bell would connect
to a relay that would be referenced on the output side of the
equation, and the input side of the equation would monitor
the list with the Supervisory ACK qualifier. The output (bell)
would turn off only when the supervisory condition is
acknowledged.

Appendix A
Hardware Device Types,
Software Point Types, and Point Addresses
Introduction This appendix lists and explains the following:
• Hardware Device Types. 4010 hardware device types are listed with their
corresponding PIDs, allowing you to exactly match the equipment used
with the available device types.
• Software Point Types. 4010 point types are grouped into two general
categories:
- Monitor point types are used with monitoring devices, such as smoke
detectors, pull stations, heat detectors, fire pump monitors, etc.
- Control point types are used with signal (notification appliance) and
relay devices.
• Point Addresses and definitions. Each 4010 point has a point address, such
as 1-1 (NAC card signal 1 address). A point address and an understanding
of when the point turns ON and OFF are necessary for referencing points in
Custom Control equations.
In this Chapter This appendix discusses the following topics:

Sensor/Base Device Types The hardware device type used for a specific sensor/base combination depends
on the combination. The following table summarizes which point types can be
used with the various combinations of sensor and base.
To use this table, first identify the exact sensor/base combination in use for each
IDNet point. The point at which the column (base) and row (sensor) intersect
contains the device type that you should use for that sensor/base combination.

4009A Card The 4009A Card, which always resides at card address 17, is a very unique card
in the 4010 system. The 4009A card itself is a pseudo card, which means that
an actual hardware “card” does not exist at address 17. However, unlike other
pseudo cards in the system, the points on the 4009A pseudo card track the status
of actual hardware points. The points on the 4009A Card are used to control and
track the status of the NAC circuits found on all of the 4009A devices
configured in the system. Therefore, the number of configured points on the
4009A Card may vary, depending on the number of 4009A devices configured
in the system. The 4010 can have up to five 4009A devices programmed into
the system, with each 4009A device having up to 8 NAC points, and 8 card
status points associated with it. An overview of how the 4009A points are
configured, and how these points are associated with a specific 4009A device, is
provided in the following sections.
The 4009A “card” can have up to five 4009A devices associated with it. Each
of the 4009A devices can be configured to have 4 or 8 NACs. Regardless of the
configuration of the 4009A device, the 4009A “card” always has room provided
for 8 NACs per device. The labels shown for the points on the 4009A card are
default labels. However, these labels may be changed by the user. The
following table describes the points included on the 4009A “card.” (S=System
point that is not available to the user for viewing or programming , U=User
Configurable Points.)

Addresses for Pseudo Points
Introduction There are three types of pseudo points that exist in every system. They include
digital, analog, and list pseudo. Each of these types may be referenced in
Custom Control in both the input and output sides of an equation. Reserved
system pseudo points are used to indicate system trouble or alarm indications,
control diagnostics or other system functions, and to communicate information
between the 4010 Master and SMPL. Some pseudos are set by the system and
are read only to the user. Other pseudos are either set from SMPL or from the
front panel as a cue for the system to perform some operation.
Digital Pseudo Points Every 4010 system has two Digital Pseudo “cards” at addresses 18 and 19. The
first card is reserved for system pseudo points while the second is available to
the user. Each contains 75 digital pseudo points which may be programmed as
follows:
Type Description
UTILITY Utility point (ON/OFF - no acknowledge required)
ALARM Fire alarm point. Turning the point on causes an ALARM
condition.
SUPV Supervisory point.
TROUBLE Trouble point.
Each system digital pseudo point falls into one of the following categories:
Class Description
R Point is controlled by the 4010 master and is read only to the
end user.
RW Point is controlled by the 4010 master, but may also be
controlled by the end user (front panel or SMPL).
W Point is controlled by the end user and is read by the 4010
Master in order to accomplish some function or operation.

The system digital pseudo card in the 4010 system is located at address 18. It
contains a total of 75 reserved system pseudo points that cannot be edited. The
following table list the system pseudo points. The type field denotes which class
(see above) the point falls into, and what its type is (U=UTIL, F=FIRE,
T=TROUBLE, S=SUPERVISORY).

4010 User Digital Pseudos The user digital pseudo card in the 4010 is at address 19. It has 75 points
available for specialized applications programming. Any point may be
programmed as one of the four types of digital pseudos (i.e. UTILITY, FIRE,
etc.), and each may be assigned a 40 character custom label.
Note that any user pseudo points defined as FIRE type are not auto-generated in
the General Alarm List (L1), and SUPERVISORY points are not generated into
the Supervisory Monitor List (L8).
Analog Pseudo Points Analog pseudo points exist as counters or timers in the 4010 system. SMPL
delay and cycle equations may be written referencing the user Analog pseudo
points on the output side (for delay/cycle operations). Each analog point may
contain a value from 0-65,535 and the point is considered ON when the value is
non-zero. For delay and cycle purposes, the maximum allowable value gives a
real-time range of just over 18 hours. There are two analog pseudo cards in the
4010 system - one reserved for system analogs, and one reserved for user points.
4010 System Analog Pseudos The 4010 system has one analog pseudo card reserved for system use at address
20. It contains a total of 25 points. At present, only the first 12 are used but the
remainder are reserved for future expansion.

A1 Fire Count Number of fire alarms active in system.
A2 Supervisory Count Number of supervisory alarms active in system.
A3 Trouble Count Number of troubles active in system.
A4 System Startup Pulsed for one poll cycle during system startup.
A5 Almost Dirty Total number of devices that have an almost
Device Count dirty status (not necessarily a trouble).
A6 Dirty Device Count Total number of devices that are in Dirty
Trouble.
A7 Excessively Dirty Total number of devices that are in Excessively
Device Count Dirty Trouble.

A8 Current Year Numeric representation of the current calendar
year. (Example: the year 1998 is shown as 98).
A9 Current Month Numeric representation of the current calendar
month (1 - 12).
A10 Current Day Numeric representation of the current calendar
day.
A11 Current Hour Current hour (0 - 23).
A12 Current Minute Current minute (0 - 59).
4010 User Analog Pseudos The user analog pseudo card in the 4010 is at address 21. It has 25 points
available for specialized applications programming. The analog user pseudos
can have custom labels assigned to them.
A-29
List Pseudo Points List psuedo points provide a convenient way to group points in any manner the
user desires. The 4010 contains two list pseudo cards - one reserved for the
system and one for the user. The status of the list is determined by counts which
are maintained for the following states:
• Fire Count
• Trouble Count
• Supervisory Count
• Normal
• Open
• Limited
• Short
• Fire Ack
• Trouble Ack
• Supervisory Ack
• Disable
• On/Input
• On/Coding
• Manual Control
The 4010 restricts the total number of points in any one list to 255. It also
restricts the total number of points available on any one list card to 500 (the total
number of points in all lists on one list card cannot exceed 500).
4010 System Lists The 4010 system reserves one list card at address 22 for system use. Currently,
12 of the 25 system lists are used by the 4010 application. All of these lists
control application specific operation of the 4010 panel. Some are auto-
generated by the system as points are added and may not be edited, while the
remainder are filled by the user to activate pre-defined applications. The system
lists are shown below:

L1 General Alarm Auto-generated by the panel and not
Monitor Points editable. Contains all fire-alarm monitor
points in the system plus the Manual Evac
pseudo. User FIRE digital pseudos are not
auto-generated here.
L2 Waterflow Alarm Auto-generated by the panel and not
Monitor Zones editable. Contains all waterflow-type
monitor points (WSO)
L3 Sprinkler Supervisory Auto-generated by the panel and not
Monitor Zones editable. Contains all sprinkler-type monitor
points (SO)
L4 Primary Elevator Filled by the user. When in fire state, will
Recall Monitors activate the primary elevator recall function.
L5 Alternate Elevator Filled by the user. When in fire state, will
Recall Monitors activate the alternate elevator recall function.
