SIMPLEX
In 1894, a young engineer working for a Gardner, Massachusetts furniture manufacturer turned his energy towards finding a better way to record the time and attendance of his company’s employees. E.G. Watkins’ hard work and ingenuity led to the invention of the Simplex time clock, the first accurate and easy to use time recording system – and to the creation of the Simplex Time Recorder Company. Simplex Time Recorder operated under the private ownership of the Watkins family for over a century, expanding into the fire alarm and building systems business in the 1950s. In December of 2000, Simplex became part of Tyco International, a global leader in the fire protection and security solutions industries. Today, Simplex is one of the most trusted brands in the fire protection industry and customers around the world rely on Simplex systems to help keep their people and their property safe every day.

The Simplex 4010ES fire alarm system is a highly flexible and powerful 1,000-point addressable analog system for small- to mid-sized facilities. Unlike many systems of this size, points can be used for detectors, modules or manual stations as needed to meet the requirements of each building. Labor-saving features such as device-level ground fault isolation and almost dirty smoke sensor status reports reduce installation time for electrical contractors and allows for proactive maintenance to be scheduled at one-time to help eliminate unwanted nuisance alarms for owners and end-users.

Sensor Base with 520 Hz Sounder | Data Sheet |
The first job of any sensor is to protect your people and operations. The second is to reduce nuisance alarms, which could cause disruption to your occupants and costly downtime for your business, as well as creating unnecessary danger and confusion. Simplex's patented TrueAlarm technology addresses the major causes of nuisance alarms – dirty sensors that result in overly-sensitive devices.

Carbon Monoxide is a product of the inefficient or incomplete combustion of fossil fuels. Poorly vented cooking appliances, furnaces and water heaters are a few of the potential generators of carbon monoxide. Carbon Monoxide is a toxic gas that you cannot see, smell, or taste. CO poisoning is the leading cause of injury and death by poisoning worldwide, with about 40,000 people treated in the U.S. annually. As the dangers of CO are better understood, more jurisdictions are requiring CO detection in areas where fossil fuel burning appliances are used.
Simplex has the ideal solution for detecting toxic CO gases in critical areas such as residential properties, dormitories, hotels, nursing homes and assisted living facilities. The CO sensor base has a removable CO element that can either work independently as a toxic gas detector or be combined with a photo or heat senor to provide a method to reduce unnecessary alarms from common sources such as steam from showers, aerosols from personal care products, cooking materials, dust and exhaust fumes. The CO sensor base does not require a separate device be mounted on the wall or ceiling. A Simplex smoke or heat sensor can plug into the base with the CO sensor element, saving mounting space as well as installation costs compared to using two independent units.

The new Simplex Addressable Beam Detector combines the power and flexibility of IDNet technology with the proven performance of the FireRay 5000 optical beam smoke detector. Beam Detectors are used to provide “open area” smoke detection in situations where it is either impractical or not cost effective to use traditional point-type detectors or aspirating smoke detection. Some common applications are: Warehouses; Atriums; Convention Centers; Shopping Malls; Sports Arenas.
The addressable beam detector provides enhanced command, control, configuration and status / event reporting between the detector and the fire alarm control panel. Configuration, installation, diagnostics, service and maintenance of this new addressable detector is also simpler and faster than a conventional detector and separate IDNet module, saving time and money for contractors, installers and building owners.

Beam Detectors are used to provide “open area” smoke detection in situations where it is either impractical or not cost effective to use traditional point-type detectors or aspirating smoke detection. Some common applications are: Warehouses; Atriums; Convention Centers; Shopping Malls; Sports Arenas. The type of Beam Smoke Detector used will be dictated by the installation requirements and environment.
The FIRERAY 5000 System is an auto-aligning, self-correcting infrared beam smoke detector. Up to 2 detector heads can report to a single ground level controller. Once the detector head is installed, using the easy-fit mounting system an integral laser can be activated. This allows the reflective prism to be located quickly and with confidence.
The FIRERAY 3000 End to End infrared Beam Smoke Detector has been designed using the latest optical technology, incorporating modern industrial, electronic and software techniques. This detector offers cost effective protection of large, open area spaces with high ceilings. It is also very suited to applications where access to ceiling mounted smoke detectors presents practical difficulties.
Open-area Smoke Imaging Detection (OSID) by Xtralis is a new innovation in projected beam smoke detection technology. By using advanced dual wavelength projected beams and optical imaging technology, OSID provides a low-cost, reliable and easy to install solution that overcomes typical beam detection issues such as false alarm incidents and alignment difficulties.
