Information About 4098-9019
The 4098-9019 is part of the Simplex addressable beam detection series, built to provide wide-area smoke detection using advanced FIRERAY 5000 technology. Its auto-aligning and self-correcting infrared beam ensures consistent performance even under changing building conditions such as settling or temperature fluctuations. The system includes a ground-level controller for easier installation, testing, and servicing while supporting up to two detector heads per controller. Designed for compatibility with Simplex IDNet systems, the detector communicates real-time status and diagnostics directly to fire alarm control panels.
Key Features:
- Wide-Area Coverage: Monitors large open spaces up to 19,800 sq. ft. with lateral detection of 30 ft. on each side of the beam.
- Auto-Align Technology: Self-correcting infrared beam maintains accuracy despite environmental or structural changes.
- Dual Head Support: A single controller can manage up to two detector heads, reducing installation costs.
- Ground-Level Access: Controller placement at floor level simplifies testing, calibration, and maintenance.
- Laser-Assisted Alignment: Built-in laser and AutoAlign system support faster and more accurate prism setup.
- Fire Test Compliance: Integrated UL/ULC obscuration acceptance test ensures reliable operation.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Fire alarm control unit allows selection of sensitivity and “almost-dirty” thresholds.
- IDNet Integration: Full addressable communication with Simplex panels for status, trouble, and signal strength reporting.
The 4098-9019 delivers the reliability and precision required for smoke detection in large, high-ceiling environments such as warehouses, atriums, and arenas.
