4098-5214 SIMPLEX

4098-5214 SIMPLEX, DUCT HOUSING,NO RELAY/DETECTOR.

The 4098-5214 Simplex, duct smoke sensor housing allows a 4098-5252 MX Technology smoke sensor to monitor for smoke conditions in air conditioning or ventilating ducts. A sampling tube (selected in accordance with duct width) is installed into the duct allowing air to be directed to the smoke sensor mounted in the housing and is discharged back into the duct by using the exhaust tube.

Compact air duct sensor housing with a clear cover to monitor for the presence of smoke:

•  Compatible with Simplex fire alarm control panel model series: 4100ES or 4010ES equipped with an MX Technology Addressable Loop Module.
•  Clear cover for visual inspection.
•  Sampling tubes (ordered separately) are available in multiple lengths to match duct size.
•  UL listed to Standard 268A.
•  Analog sensor information is communicated to the host control panel for accurate analysis.

Note: The smoke detection in air ducts is intended to provide notification of the presence of smoke in the duct. It is not intended to, and will not, replace smoke detection requirements for open areas or other nonduct applications.

Sensor description

Rugged sensor construction. The MX 4098-5252 850 series photoelectric sensor provides a robust and reliable construction which has undergone stringent environmental testing. Electrical contacts are molded into the plastic to eliminate movement. Construction uses durable, fire resistant FR110 plastic. MX Sensors communicate to the MX Loop Module using MX Technology communications.

Application information reference

Refer to NFPA 90A, Standard for the Installation of Air Conditioning and Ventilating Systems; NFPA 72, the National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code; the NEMA Guide for Proper Use of Smoke Detectors in Duct Applications, and Installation Instructions 579-962.

Soft addressing

MX technology sensors and addressable devices are addressed using the 850EMT programming tool which presents a simple menu driven user interface that can automatically increment addresses following each write operation. This simple to use “soft addressing” technique avoids misaddressing errors that often occur when coded switches are used.The 850EMT address programmer can also change addresses stored in a sensor or other addressable device’s non-volatile memory, which makes addressing errors easy to rectify.

Sensor details

The 4098-5252 Photoelectric Sensor incorporates a unique optical chamber design with a high signal-to-noise ratio that provides resilience to dust, dirt, and small insects, and reduced service cost.

•  Analog sensor information is communicated to the host control panel and analyzed using the MX Fastlogic algorithm.
•  The MX Fastlogic algorithm is considered an expert algorithm that uses real fire data as a basis for the alarm decision.
